occitane coupon in post today buy £30 of shea butter stuff and get goody bag worth £20(SHEA2011....not that anyone will be interested!) filled bag online to exactly £59 to get free post then thought what am I doing????don't need any of this stuff:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: so didn't order:A:A:A:A:A

may buy some instore next time I go to town as do like the foot cream and DS2s girl commented sher loved the liquid soap last time she was here so could buy her some along with foot cream to get goody bag:rotfl:

I also got this through the post and put it straight in the recycling after an agonising 10 minutes looking at it ( they also make the codes too easy to memorise!). When I have had these offers in the past I have filled up my basket to £59 and then logged out quick so buy nothing - but just the process of filling up an online basket can sometimes help with those toiletries cravings a bit _in fact I 've baskets filled up on sites all over the net:rotfl:

I am steering clear of Boots. Also I've got an Avon book by the side of me as I type. I am being firm with myself, though I am also tempted by the red Morgan bag for £25.
Ok today's UU - FCUK Polished Body Butter 75 ml. WIBA? Wouldn't have a clue where to find it, have never seen it on sale. It was lovely to use, I would say I got about seven full body applications out of the pot. This probably wouldn't make it very good value for money. It's being replaced in the next to use chain by a Next Lime and Ginger body butter - I used the matching shower gel a while ago. The body butter is actually in a lotion style tube, but is very thick.

This will mean the next shower gel in the list will need to be the OS Lime and Sweet Chilli, which closely matches the Next lotion. My current shower gel is a Dove 55ml trial - two washes left, I think.
On the subject of things to shower with I have:

55ml Dove Intensive Care - almost all gone
50ml BS White Musk
OS Lime and Sweet Chilli - two thirds left
OS Lemon and Tea Tree
OS Shea Butter and Honey
Boots Botanics 50 ml - ginseng, I think.
300 ml Virgin Vie Skin Nutrition Shower Juice

To be used as shower gel on a body puff:
500 ml Radox Bath Therapy - blue, with whatever passes for natural products in it
500 ml Radox Bath Therapy - green, ditto
c.150 ml Radox Bath Therapy - orange, Rooibois and Thyme I think.

I was slightly shocked, I hadn't realised there was quite so much. That doesn't count what my son uses. I know it looks small compared to some stashes, but there's just me to use it!
So, I am fairly confident that I won't need to buy shampoo or shower gel for myself in 2011.
I will almost certainly buy OS Mint and Tea Tree for my son, as he likes it but wouldn't bother getting it ..sigh.
I can't remember what the exact makes of shampoo are without trekking upstairs and I am nicely comfy in my riser recliner.
But it's something like
OS 2 in 1 supposed to be for men but is much nicer for me Orange and Ginger Hair and Body wash
C 200 ml green bottle of something really mild, can't think what it is but it's good.
C. 200 ml Tesco Frequent Wash
C 100 ml Schwarzkopf Colour Care
C.300 ml L'Oreal stuff for weak, fine hair,
Why can't I remember what things are called????...... Probably cos apart from OS, Mitchum and Olay I have no brand loyalty!

6 in's for me today... 2 mushroom bubble bars, 2 ex factor ballistics, handy gurugu hand cream (its my HG) and a free cupcake mask

Not too bad considering, I did pop into boots but nothing that caught my eye, thanks heavens :rotfl:

Used up:
Clarins body cream (dark red one) - wiba no. This was a super large sample from one of the gift with purchases - its not listed in my stash as it turned up when I was sorting through some bits Its a lovely texture but has a strong smell - think it has caffeine in it like many firming creams have. So smelt awful last night! But its gone now, so that another quid into the tin for a rainy/spa-ry day!

That naughty step is looking a bit crowded with a certain b**ts.com isnt it..... Maybe we should see some updated stash photos to inspire us to be good girls and boy!!!

Just UU a Body Shop Raspberry shower gel that's been spluttering for a couple of days :j WNBA as there are other, nicer BS "flavours". I've started my new Superdrug Plum & Cherry Body Butter too, and I have to say its great, better than BS possibly. Its thicker, actually like butter:o, and not such a strong smell (the BS Raspberry one was a bit overpowering), it sunk into my skin really nicely too. Pretty good for £1.82 for 200ml:beer:

Is this really it's name?! :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:Should that be body butter? :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

ETA OMG yes that really is it's name, I can't stop laughing (cos I'm so mature ):rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

They were discussing Bottom butter on Radio 2 yesterday morning!
So I went to boots today. I'm not going to sit on the naughty step though because I bought 3 toothbrushes (yes I only need 1 but they're on 3 for 2 :money:) £3.66, a bottle of conditioner (used a 1/3 off coupon) 40p, and an Elle McPherson tanning gift set £4.50. The Elle set is for a friend who's birthday is in June and I know she uses tanning products.
Total cost £8.56 and I paid with points :money:. That's the first time I've ever been able to do that!
Just wondering, do you earn points when you pay with points?

Am I let off the naughty step? I really wanted to go back and get myself an Elle set but thought of the products I already have. I wasn't tempted enough when it was only the tanning stuff which would have been really welcomed and I liked the dove and the Johnsons ones enough.
I was interested to see that they were selling off the No7 GWP's from December for £6.85 and a load of the anniversary makeup. Nothing temted me though. There was also a Fearne hatbox which is lovely but had been undone, unthreaded and redone. I didn't want to risk someone seeing me undo the bow and get told off but no way would I buy it without being able to see inside it- someone could have emptied all of the contents out of it for all I know. Besides, it was the box I was after and I'm sure I can live without it. If it's meant to be, then one will find its way to me!
