    My OH loves bubbles :o - I only like them if I'm having a 'relaxing' bath - if I'm washing my hair it has to be bubble-less water :D makes him cross because we use the same bath water and if he goes first he's not allowed his bubbles
    I don't like bubble baths, just bubbles when I'm washing!
    Welcome to our club :D.
    Had a look at the accounts when I got up this evening and I have another account which has just over £3k in it, so not as bad as I thought. We have only spent £8800 from our savings and most has gone on BIG things which were needed. We still need to make it up though :eek:.

    i am now starting to use my 'nice' products more and more rather than saving them for a special occasion that never happens! like my tressor in love body lotion that came in a perfume gift set - using that now in the mornings cause at night im currently using S&G righteous butter but i like to proper slather it on so not so good for daytime!

    also have an IN but feel i have reason for it!
    bout an fcuk body wash (even thought i have a ton of body wash/shower gel etc) but i got the free £8 miniatures set with it that boots were giving away. i would have bought some miniatures around the time of my holiday anyways (cant be doing with decanting, just easier to buy a mini n leave it there!) so think im justified and can be excused?!!!

    Well feel free to come on in whenever you do move out, oh green fairy! ;) (By the way, did you get the travel mini S&G box set?)

    Yes, the Lock, Stock & Bubble bag with the miniatures in, and such a lovely bag to put them in! :rotfl:

    Wow...this thread has got so long since I first pledged.

    Well I have had a mini relapse but I do have my reasons!

    Someone on the curly hair thread had recommended Asda JoJoba conditioner and as I was doing an order I just found myself putting it down.

    Only 65p though, so not a major offence. :)

    I am using up my perfumes though.

    ""Another expected use up tonight is the Body Shop Mango Body Butter - wiba no. Nice smell but I think I prefer Champneys. Still have another BS one (opened) in stash and other butters so a while before I can spend. One thing for sure my nails are looking their best yet with all these creams :)""
    Used it up - so that's another £1 in the pot. A quid for every time I use an item in my stash up. It's a sealed tin. I started counting how much is in there but now I want it to be a surprise. At this rate it will pay for either a lovely facial at a local salon or maybe even stretch to a spa day somewhere.
    Will look for the other opened Body Shop Mango body butter in my stash now. I have a couple of other creams too - so tempted to try the moisturising mist you madly from the S&G set.

  • Morning ladies! I'm bored waiting in for my delivery from Mr T.

    Luckily I'm feeling a bit better now, well enough to get to the bathroom so a few more UU. and one In to report

    UU 1: Body Shop Carrot Cream WIBA? I'm unsure. I love it on my dry skin. But it has no SPF and I'm worried about any sun damage. Plus I have a few other face creams to try first. Any suggestions for good face creams with SPF?

    UU2: Boots Cucumber Eye Gel WIBA? Nope. Quite like that Simple roller ball thingy instead.

    UU3: Simple Refreshing Gel Wash - I think that's the name. WIBA? Yes I love this but have a couple of other ones in my stash to finish first. Hope they don't give me spots!

    And one teeny, tiny IN. DH got me a lipstick from Mac to cheer me up (Mac Rebel - it's beautiful) I'd wanted it for ages but hadn't got it. Plus it wasn't really my money... he used his card... admittedly to our joint account:rotfl:
