Aso he ''found'' some Badedas that he hadn't brought home form his city abode when I was trying to stock take...actually I think he bought it and doesn't want to own up to it. lol.

Hi LIR, long time no see!!! How is the house purchase going? Hopefully all done and dusted xo

rosemary54 - STAY AWAY from the Body Shop!!!! Remember the soap! :eek:

Stayed at a very lovely hotel on Saturday night, so I've ''developed' a mini shower gel, shampoo, conditioner, and soap.

Yep, we've moved! The bathroom and bedroom is far from luxurious and thus I'm pampering a lot less and looking a lot worse, lol. I was offline for a few months, which was fine !!! we were so busy here.

I was off for a bit too (too much MSE at one stage lol!!).

So glad you've moved in and good luck with all the works - keep us posted.

Any pics yet? xo

A couple of Ins.

Avon night moisturiser and eye cream. I felt that the Oil of Olay wasn't hitting the spot. And to round up the amount to £10, a cleanser which is oily and great for cleaning my foundation brush.

My new Avon lady turned out to be about 12, accompanied by her dad. So I felt I was helping out a budding entrepreneur!

Used up:
1 x vague, non memorable body spray from Wilkinson - nope.

Nearly used up:
Elemis eye serum - suddenly realised today, this stuff normally takes years. So either there is less in the pot or the skin around my eyes is getting drier......... I blame the central heating ! WIBA, nah. Doesn't really make that much difference for the money.

One more UU to report this month, Neals Yards Orange flower daily moisturiser that was a magazine freebie in the summer. This is meant to be for dry skin but I didn't like it since it made my skin feel tighter. In the end I used it up as a hand cream.

Otherwise the challenge is going well, I bought 2 packs of cotton wool today which I had run out of.

Good luck to everyone with this challenge.

Hurrah - another UU here! Botanics invigorating (or enlivening, or illuminating, or some such word) shower gel - WIBA? - It was OK. I find it tough to get excited about such an everyday thing as showergel, but this one did the job well enough, although didn't go overboard with the lather. If I saw it again in the clearnace for £1 (which was what I paid for this one!) then I'd buy it, but I probably wouldn't be fussed about it at full price.

Actually the results aren't bad thinking about it. Doesn't do anything for dark circles (does anything?) but the lines feel a bit smoother. :j

no UUs yet! think i'll stay in this competition forever! it's definately saving me money though!
