I am soooo tempted to get 3 BS body butters for £12.60 plus 15% Quidco.... someone help me!!!! I do use them but have so many already...

Eh? On the website it says £6 for the BBs, or am I missing something?

But in all seriousness, if you've already got loads, I can assure you that there are few sader sights in life than a gone-off body butter, so please use the ones you've already got so that you don't have to throw out gone-off ones. *Sniff, sniff*

Oh, and I've bought quite a few sets in the Boots sale, but as they are all destined for presents (but of course I bought stuff I like that I can use myself if I don't get round to giving them all away ), I don't quite count them. (Rest assured that they WILL be getting given away.) x

hi everyone,
UU today: Cetraben emollient cream 20g, only a tester given free from the hospital, but would make an effort to actually get it myself.
Jo Lo Live perfume. I love this, and already have another bottle which i'm just about to open. I'm not sure i can still get it because both bottles i had are a couple of years old. BUt the fact that the first one took two years to use up i'm not sure i'm too worried.

Question: i have some eye gel which i must have opened a good 7 years ago. do you think i should just bin it? I'm tempted but hate just chucking stuff away and it's almost full. Which kind of says it all that i don't actually use it.

I wouldn't put it near my eyes after being open for 7 years :eek: And if u haven't wanted it in all that time I'd say definitely chuck it!!! Its not like ur going to miss it, is it?

Bin it LT. You could spend/waste a lot of money clearing up any eye infections or anything nasty. To make things a bit easier you could always scrape out the contents and recycle the packaging.

Lemon_Tree

advice taken, the contents have been put down the sink, packaging rinsed and in recycling bin.

Another UU for me this morning, Body Shop Satsuma shower gel travel size. WIBA NOPE! seriously orange scented, it reminded me of Rowntree's orange jelly when still in block form

There's a 30% off code so it's £12.60 for 3 plus 12.12% TCB (Quidco now 8%)

I didn't think body butters went off!!!! :eek: Do they?

I agree about the 7yo eye cream, shame to chuck stuff out but you are doing yourself a favour Now, doesn't that feel better!

ETA: The 30% off code has expired, booooooooooooo!!!!! Anyone got another one?

feel fab tara, i've now got the urge to chuck out the sun tan lotion that i have that has to be donkey's years old. When i can get to the tubs they will be the next things to be emptied and recycled.
I feel like i've achieved something recently. I've actually moisturised two days in a row. Not much to many people but i don't know the last time i did that. I'm determined to finish one tub of my body souffle's before the end of January. There's half a large tub to go so if i can keep this up then that will be finished soon.

As my OH is at work and i'm bored i've sadly been playing round with my mega list and tidying it up. Does add to the ones used up but has kept me busy for a little while.
