    Soap and Glory box for £25. Wouldn't mind but there weren't any in one Boots, so I drove to another, and there weren't any there either until I charmed a lovely Santa-hat wearing assistant into having a little look in the back where he found me one. Cue much hysterics. :o

    Bad Pickle! Bad Pickle! Must stay away from Body Shop sale...must resist body scrubs and butters when they really go down. Resist! Resist!

  • Think I need to rejoin this thread, I did really well most of the year, staying out of boots, only buying for the stash when I needed something etc...but...it all seems to have gone wrong since the hype around the S&G offer of the week (and I knew it would) Since buying that last friday, I've bought 4 bottles of tony & guy shampoo (using the £2 haircare vouchers but that's not the point I didnt need shampoo yet), 3 bottles of soap and glory bubble bath (3 for 2 and we did need bubble bath, but we usually get radox from the pound shop), I've just ordered some stuff online in the bodyshop sale and am already planning what I'd like to buy on boxing day in the boots sale :eek: (and if I'm totally honest if Liverpool and online hadnt sold out of the OOTW I'd prob have bought at least another one)

    It's all slid very much out of control again in the space of a week
    *wonders when they will make dressing gowns acceptable day wear?*
    No new toiletries challenge - use up the stash first!

    QONMW, I have been the same! I did so well for a while, but the fab offers and glitches lately have tested my resolve to the limit. :o

    really *issed of this morning as just heard that DS1 flight from San fran has been cancelled:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:
    thought Heathrow had finally got its act together and was supposed to be at 80% so why on earth can he not fly here on the 23rd???????not seen him since jan and was so looking forward to having all the family home together ,heard on the nerws last night heathrow refused help from the army!!!!don't they know what they are putting families through with their incompetance????

    sorry to rant but am really upset and need to vent my anger!!!!
    they have said it could be 3/4 days till they can give him a flight so bye bye Christmas,he may decide not to come at all as will need to go to work....last Christmas he spent with his jewish boss as had only just moved out to USA:rotfl:you have to laugh

    had thought to look at email from BS but saw Taras comment about body butters and thought yes I too have a box full!!...may need to buy clothes instead:rotfl:
