    Hi Littlekel :wave:

    Thanks for popping in! Fancy a :coffee:? :)

    I'm not v committed to this diary thing tbh - never feel like I have anything interesting to say, or I think I do have something to say and then get here and think "what was I going to write?" :rotfl: Just my random mumblings but does keep my head clear and help me focus a wee bit more :p

    Went through my toiletries yesterday! I have so much! Really need to start using them up for my own sanity. If it's something I don't like I'm going to chuck it or sell it, depending on what it is, but otherwise there will be no more spending on toiletries until I run out. End of.

    Checklist - can't buy another until I run out!!
    1. Ultrabland
    2. Cotton wool pads
    3. Shampoo
    4. Conditioner
    5. Face scrub
    6. Face mask
    7. Shower gel
    8. Soap
    9. Deodorant
    10. Body moisturiser
    11. Body scrub
    12. Face day cream
    13. That gal
    14. Face night cream
    15. Sandalwood oil
    16. Eye cream
    17. Eye gel
    18. Hand cream
    19. Cuticle cream/oil
    20. Foot cream
    21. Nail polish remover
    I also get samples once a month from Latestinbeauty.com so hopefully I can replenish even if I do run out!

    Make up is a whole other post. Can't quite believe how much I have but I went through it all yesterday and I don't want to chuck anything. Bought loads of new stuff for the wedding so hopefully won't need much for a very looooong time!

    Uh, that's no good DNMS :( Get yourself checked out or call NHS 24 if you're worried. Better safe than sorry. If all else fails, have some night nurse and sleep it off. xxx
  • aw bless u La E! No I'm sure its nothing - I'm such a hypercondriac its embarrassing. I phoned oh one day after we'd een going out about a month and said I thought I had cancer as I had found a lump in a *ahem* delicate place. Turned out to be a spot :o but left him FREAKING OUT for a while :rotfl: after 3 years he knows not to panic when a new terminal illness strikes (I genrally forget about them after a week or so :rotfl:)

    Hi LT :wave: Nice to see you!

    I love your paydays to debt freedom thingy in your sig! Doesn't look too bad at all! :T

    I think I might get an ipod touch - saw my BIL's during the week and it looked v cool. Not sure how much use I'd get out of it though - I've got an ipod shuffle and don't really use that. My phone is far from fancy though and got a while until the contract runs out. Only £15 a month though so not so bad.
