    Good luck Rosemary. I always find sitting in the dentist's chair and fantasising is the best way to go!! :rotfl::rotfl:

    Agree. The jar's a swizz and the product disappointing for the price too. This was my first foray into more expensive creams a few years ago, after using L'Oreal for years and I was disappointed to be so unimpressed with it.

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

    dentist all done and as it was a back tooth didnt have too much of the numb lip feeling:)just an aching jaw:(but he was a sweetie and it was soon over.(just £45 worse off now:(:(:()

    went looking at clothes(needed a treat you understand!) but saw nothing I liked so HAD to go into the B store:eek::eek::eek:
    I did need some blusher as it was out of stock last time I went and now I have hardly any left and as the gwp no7 was on I bought 2 blushers and an eyeshadow trio.(so spent £30 and could then use my 300 point coupon:))The gwp is ok except for the strange blue mascara!

    also noticed that the wipes are now even more expensive than about a month ago at £7:eek::eek::eek::eek:(Boots own being 3 for £1)

    rosemary glad the dentist went well. I need to see mine desperatly, i tripped over a marrow last summer (yes that long ago) and broke one of my lower front tooth almost in half..i look like a hill billy, thankfully i have a largish overbite so its hidden. Can't imagine what they will do with it or how much it will cost, but im sorting out in the new year.

    one uu to report my wilkinsons choclate bath stuff set, wiba? yes yes yes the fizzers where boring but the bubble bath even though i only got 2 uses from it as its a small bottle..well it was delish yum yum i wanted to eat the foam lol

    and forgive me i have sinned..avon order came today and i got

    tropics roll on (was free with handwash..i dont include this as its for household use not just mine handwash that is not the roll on lol)

    co!!!! and lemongrass bodylotion 99p , spa hair mask, spa face mask and spa bath oil that was 3 for £6 ,
    just recovering from vomiting and flu crawled into the kitchen on my hands and knees this am as i was too weak to walk after managing to find a tin of rice pudding that had a ring pull i sat on the floor and ate it cold from the tin for breakfast , i then threw it up so repeated step 1 and it stayed down 1/2 hour later i felt well enough to attempt to take the boys to school/play school , came home had some toast water and went back to bed..i feel almost normal now yay..and my sons have been absoulte angels this morning..so thank you too my babys xx

    I'll have the blue mascara if you don't want it, swap you for something else? :)
