Thanks re the holiday skin stuff, it does smell funny to start with I agree. For various reasons I think they've all had bits used out (I think 2 might have been passed on to me from a friend in the first place lol) so I think I might just bin them. They don't suit me, my legs are too pale in the first place!0

some UU's to report finally! woo!
sure's crystal clear aqua anti-white marks stick deodorant...a very exciting UU isn't it! lol! but WIBA?....yeah i would, did the trick for me!
sanctuary spa protective 24-hour moisture lotion 15ml... WIBA? meh...it was alright...bought it in the airport before a holiday to use on my face as sun protection, can be a bit too oily for my skin though, so I may try something different next time..
molton brown coco de mer face & body lotion....just a little bottle I got as part of a b'day pressie WIBA? I don't think so...as I don't like the smell, however it went on my skin quite nice...so maybe I'd like a different scent from their range...0 -
One UU to report here - very boring though, just a Pearl Drops toothpolish - WIBA? - yep, the next one is already out of the stash. A visit to the 99p Stores is called for now though as that's the last one.🎉 MORTGAGE FREE (First time!) 30/09/2016 🎉 And now we go again…New mortgage taken 01/09/23 🏡

on the subject of the Superdrug Vitamin E range, that's the range i picked up, 100ml of two tubes - Facial Wash and Scrub and a 50ml tub of moisture cream for only 2.99 with a cream headband and a not half bad bag for them. Not much to risk if it turns out you don't like them
I've started the No 7 ones that i had in stock and am determined to use the facial wash each day. i'm not skanky honestly i was just never taught the habit as a young teenager!
I'm contemplating getting the Avon eye cream which is suposed to illuminate the dark patches under your eyes. Has anyone tried this? Its on offer in the book and i'm trying to get the deal to get the scales.0 -

Evening all, my it's busy in here! Hello to those I haven't greeted before
Confession time ladies... I may have pulled off the greatest glitch EVER online... about £700 of Molton Brown stuff for free if it works!!!! :eek: I will fill you all in soon (and will post it on Grabbit too, just want to see if it works first as it seems too good to be true and no confirmation email yet) xoI have another UU Tesco facial cleansing wipes WIBIA yes! Great value at about 27p and if I have time cut them in half so last twice as long! lol I have quite a few to use first though before I buy anymore!
Took an order back to the Body Shop yesterday that was delayed in the snow. I had the receipt and the manager was adament that they could only refund the sales price, not the price I paid. I knew my rights and wouldn't back down. She was a dragon and called customer services only for them to tell her I was the get the full refund. It wasn't like I was trying to pull a fast one and didn't have a receipt. Anyway eventually got the refund but felt quite upset when I came out.
What a complete and utter cow! Poor you
p.s. good tip on the wipesQueen_of_NO_MATTER_WHAT wrote: »welcome to the naughty stepI didn't know you could only use for for 21 days...I have got another HG body shop vitamin e illuinated on the way so no need to buy anything else
what should i do if there is more than 21 days worth, stop using it at 21 days?
I think you can use it again for another 21 days but just leave a gap in between... anyway we shall see as I have ordered it too!!!!My skin is in desperate need of something to perk it up, I really hate the effect winter has on me.

OMG, you know my stash better than I do! :rotfl: It is lovely thanks, am using the first one and still have another in the stash.
carlislelass - I don't know whether to :eek: or :rotfl:!!!!
berrybabe - great restraint and good idea! :T
Sorry to go OT but I can't stop thinking about that poor girl who was murdered in Bristol and her family... maybe it's because it happened at Christmas so is all the more tragic. Obviously for them it's tragic no matter what time of year but it's not fair that they should have their daughter taken away from them when others have their families around them at what is meant to be a time of celebration.RIP.

haha I just remember you buying it ages ago and I've always wondered about it...maybe a silly question but how do you use it...and what is it for?
UU this morning - Tube of S&G daily smooth (which I'd cut open the other day to get more out) WIBA - Yes, It's thick, smells gorgous and makes my skin as soft as a baby's bum...it's a toss between this one and the FCUK body whip which is my fave. Not that I need to buy at the moment as I've got 2 in stash already (and many many body butters before to use up before I'll be buying any more!)
I won't open a new body butter until I've finished the FCUK body whip (a couple more applications) and S&G righteous lite body lotion (bought at car boot for 50p back in the summer and wish I hadn't, I like thick creams and this is a bit watery for me, only half left though and it seems to go down quite quickly)...and then after that I get to decide which of my new ones to open, choices, choices.:rotfl:*wonders when they will make dressing gowns acceptable day wear?*No new toiletries challenge - use up the stash first!NSD Jan 2/150 -
