  • Used up a Bodyshop body butter. Decided I love these so bought 3 more half price in the sale. Also bought a shower gel. Am using up a bubble bath as shower gel at present.

    A UU for me today, Essential Waitrose 3 in 1 cleansing wipes. WIBA nope! I found them leaving my skin tight (supposed to be cleaning, make-up removal and moisturising), make-up removal not brilliant either! Back to Simple cleaning stuff :D
    Do not meddle in the affairs of Dragons, for thou art crunchy and good with catsup :D

    Are they a limited one? eg I bought a brazil nut one because they have been discontinued and I really like it and it's no longer part of their usual range. If they're not rest assured that another glitch will come around again when you're nearing the end of your current stash of body butters xx

    in the spirit of Christmas phoned ds2,found out his gilr had the same idea sa me and bought him a small suitcase(he keeps borrowing mine) so noe DH said what else can we(! thought I was the one who did all the Christmas shopping???)buy him?then said he would take me to town tomorrow...if park and ride running(no buses from our village of course!)

    looked at Occitane and decided against buying anything ,also crabtreee:A:A:Abut the thought of bS body butters is tempting:rotfl: will look at Lush to see what thye have as got a 10% off coupon with star box of bombs.
    tried to book hotel to tek DS3 back to uni only to find fav spa one full:(:(:(

    good news Lauras Ashley sale has coffee table I want half price:):)
  • The boots instore sale went well...I bought NOTHING! - because there was nothing (that I wanted) to be had.

    I did order a couple of gifts online for Mothers day and Mum's b'day in March, and a S&G set fell into the basket (had and foot cream one, with the gloves and socks), along with a GWP because one of the gifts I bought was a No7 set. I did say I was going to allow myself the Boots sale though...doubt I'll be bothering to visit the 75% off one judging by what was there today.

    Inventory tonight :eek:

    One tiny UU from today - a mini sized Johnsons body lotion originally gained as a freebie. WIBA? - if I wanted a lotion I might well go for this one as it's left my skin (even elbows) feeling lovely and soft.

    I popped to Boots earlier to try to get the Sanctuary Body Butter set at 50% off, but no luck, however a friend has offered to get me one - as it is a genuine bargain I've said yes please. It will cost me £6 plus postage possibly but for 3 x 150ml bb's I think this is a good deal.

    It is the Brazil Nut one, it's my fave and I don't want to miss out. I know I will miss it when it's gone. I might give in...

    p.s. well done to those listing their Christmas INs, I have received a few bits inc P&P Intense set :o and bought some other things in the Boots online sale :o:o:o I might get an attack of guilt and return it all when I collect it!
