uu clinique moisture surge cream WIBA oh yes it is wonderful on very dry skin whether from too much sun or too much central heating as recently.Was tempted to buy some from clinique site as free post at the mo but the choice of samples was 2/3 and not stuff I really use:(am going to be good and wait for bonus time and use up whatever else i can find in the stash!
Spent most of yesterday cooking the 2nd christmas dinner as all family home now(6 of us) stood for hours doing veg etc with no offers of help(DH was at work)meal worked out well BUT evening was rather flat for some unknown reason(DH tired):(:(:(and the young family members went straight off to their rooms after without even eating the trifle that took me forever as for some reason the custard did not work and I ended up using 3 pints of milk before it came good:eek::eek::eek::eek:.

so no board games or chat and I stayed up watching Miss Marple till 1 a.m like Billy No Mates:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(

tons of food left including the beef joint bought for last night before DH said we have to give them Christmas dinner!and i have ordered steak for new years eve so God knows when we will eat it all as everyone going home and DS3 back to uni on sunday!

Did get a good deal on hotel there tho (upgrade/wine and meal all free:))
plan to recheck stash in new year as I know I have enough soap to last forever(DS2 girl said she loves my soap:))but am short on basics like wipes and shower gel.
rambling again sorry but this is a great place for a quiet moan:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

sold 2 books on Amazon over holiday so need to post 1 today but printer is in DS3s room and he doesn't get up before 12 when the po van has gone:(...joy of country living:rotfl:

Hi ladies

I hope you all had a good Christmas, I'm just starting to feel human again after my flu..back to work tomorrow. I'll have to catch up on the thread in the new year as there's loads to read. I've just skimmed the last few pages though and Jacks your volunteer work sounds amazing, it must be so rewarding to have a positive impact on the ladies you work with.

I'm so glad you're feeling better my lovely! :)We've all had some sort of coughing bug in our house which means none of us have had much of an appetite. All the Christmas treats are still sitting around slowly going off! :eek:

I do get a lot out of volunteering. I'd recommend it to anybody.

I use a few things from the superdrug vitamin E range and I've been happy with them I use the night cream, body lotion & body scrub at the moment

woke up to the postie delivering me 2 items from jemma kidd make up range! i must have won something or a long overdue magazine subscription gift!
They were
JK Bronzer
JK lipgloss
JK eyeliner

just typical i ordered one of everything above last night :mad:

And I took a trip into town and picked up a santa box from lush and 3 bath ballistics, all for about £10. Also picked up some presents and cheap fancy bits for the bedroom in WH Smith of all places...£120 for less than £20 amazing really

have a good day x

Hi all

Another UU for me - BS cucumber water (I'll have none left at this rate, had several bottles on the go at the same time). WIBA - yes again! Off to put £3.99 into the pot!

roshydoshy - you could return the JK stuff you ordered?

Jacks - sorry you've been ill, although I half wish I had too - I need to stop eating! :rotfl:

Poor you with no help, gosh men can be so lazy sometimes! Moan all you want my dear. And wake DS3, my mum wouldn't let me sleep till 12:00 lol!!! xoxoxo

I really need to get going with this challenge again! I've got practically a whole shelf of toiletries (not far off!) and some more stashed in the wardrobe that I came across and forgot I'd put there so there's a lot to be used up. I've thrown some out too because it was well past the recommended use by date. I'm going to need lots of motivation to get through it all!

Sunshineyday,

I have been looking at Moroccan oil products for ages. It would be great if you could let me know if the products are any good?

Many thanks

Once a week I do a facial scrub and follow up with a face mask. Today I have used LE's Intensive Nourishing treatment (facial mask). WIBA? No way, this is a horrible product I didn't like the feeling of it all. I have used this product up by mixing it with my favourite facial mask Origins Drink up.

Happy New Year to you all.
