    Hey everyone, a UU to report:

    Soap and Glory Daily Smooth Body Butter. WIBA? Well I love the feeling it has on my skin and the way it leaves me so moisturised. However...I need to use a hell of a lot of it! I had a 50ml travel size thing that came in a gift set from christmas and it lasted me 2 uses! The full size is 250ml so that would last me 10 days of use and for £8 odd I think you can work out that it would not be worth it at all. If someone were to buy it for me then I would jump at the chance but it will not be something I purchase for myself.

    Still have a lot of lotions to use up so it's no great loss!

  • Roshy you're right, it does! I'd forgotten that! But the menthol one was slightly *more* tingly I think. Used to give a slightly cooling feeling to your lips as you breathed out!
    Oh sorry i didn't realise there was a menthol one too! i'm intrigued now.... :rotfl:
  • Oh be strong girls, I'm not going to give in to the boots 75% sale....it's not nothing whatsoever to not being able to load the webpage after trying to add to basket :rotfl:
    I made £25 last night selling on some of my uni books - I sold them fro £5 each to a family friend - they are worth c.£60 each but i got them free on my course - is there a website that i can sell the remainder on for for some more money? rosemary i think you are a book seller?!

    Make up is steadily depleting, some pans on my eyeshadow palettes are edging closer to UU! Also some BS moisturiser and foundations but nothing to report as yet

    Have a good day girls x

    Used up an Adee Phelan conditioner - did nothing special, won't buy again.

    Will have a mooch round Boots today, but not even going to glance at the website...

    up late again as stayed up till 2.30 watching an old film as DH gone off to Malaga on work:(he did not call as promised so in dog house:mad:

    uu a Lush bath bomb a bit more fizzy than last but they dont do it for me as i prefer bubbles.
    had amessage on phone from lady whose bungalow we thought of buying it is to go on at £395K:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek: no way is it worth it for the bungalow as old fashioned needs loads of work and has 3 bedroom only .....our 4 bed house was worth around £275K last year so I think it is priced at the development market as it is a large plot with empty plot behind and to the side owned by a developer:(problem is she is 80 and a friend who I think would be horrified if I said I think it will end up being knocked down,so I need to think what to say as if I tell her my house is "worth" a lot less than hers she may start to wonder.We thought it would be about £250K max and would cost over £50K to fix up.

    Might be worth getting an up to date quote on your house. As for the bungalow - any chance of it being split into two lots - ie the bungalow and the empty plot?
