    FedUp - Check out Lush cosmetics they have a full ingredient listing on their website for every thing they sell and steer away from chemicals.Sarah x

    Thanks Sarah, I've had a look and the chemical is in some of their things too. Looks like a solid shampoo bar from now on.

    Thanks soappie, feeling pretty grotty this morning and my temperature is flying without me (up and down!) Hoping feel better later on.

    I know what you mean about dogs - sometimes wonder why you have them, then think how you would never be without them!

    I might be able to help you on this one, as I all ths stuff I use is based on plant ingredients, so no SLS, parebens, mineral oils etc. PM me with what you can't have and I'll point you in the direction of some brands that might suit and places to get them from.

    Thanks my dear, I'll be in touch when I find out for certain after my apppt on Friday. So far there are 2 with very long names that seem to be contained in shower gels, shampoo, moisturisers and some soap. On the plus side I've found some things stashed away that don't contain them, but not many

    Don't think I'll be flying today feeling like this. I want to finish my cards and post them. That might be all I can manage. How can I go from running 30k last week to this?

    Dusty thanks I'll ask, what's plugged in over night? Maybe the fridge freezer, mine does something funky at about 1am usually ... Not 100% sure what
    Fedup aww honey, well at least you've got lots to put in as gifts. I've been trying to get my DP who insists usually on using evil products like lynx to go for allergy testing, his skin is just awful sometimes. I'm sure it'll be even more fun testing what you can use x

    Well a hectic day yesterday but got a lot done, the storage/TV unit is now built, 2 storage racks now in the garage, set of drawers in the garage, tv decluttered, boys helped sort through some more old things when they got in, bins ridiculously full including my cardboard recycling one which will now be soaked if the binmen don't come today, several bin bag dances

    Today will be another busy one. I plan on doing much more of the play room, then out at 12.30 to help set up for the junior school party. No cubs tonight as it's the sleepover tomorrow & unsure if my swimming group will be on. Must get a bit of shopping today too. Oh and it's sleet/rain/hail here *grump* doesn't know what it wants to do!

    Hope you all have a good day xx
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    Morning all

    As you can see we had a good time last night :) but she was absolutely shattered by the end of the gig! Now we have seen Quo it must be nearly Christmas :eek:

    This is where the confusion really kicks in as I am off paid work today (swapped days) so I can see the school nativity this afternoon, so in a little while I will be sat here at confused central wondering what day it is and what I am supposed to be doing!!

    A major task today is to get all the cards that need posting gone otherwise they will still be here come the new year. Some more wrapping to do as well and then CHAOS clearance, so a busy day here.

    Better get lunches made and go and see if W had a good time at Nanan's last night.
