When you click reply or quote (not Quick reply), use the button that looks like mountains or two triangles over a yellow background and small square on top. Your pics need to be uploaded to any website (Flickr, Photobucket, snapfish...), then you copy the direct link of the pic and paste it in the box that appears when you click that button.

Still no UU's to report yet!!

I really thought my TBS Carrot Moisturiser would be finished by now, but it is somehow still hanging in there!!!
S&G The Daily Smooth will be getting cut open tonight to get the last of that out.

Have also moved a few things around, took my Neutrogena Pink Grapefruit face wash and St Ive's Apricot scrub out the bathroom, have been replaced with Lush Angels on Bare Skin and Lush Ocean Salt. Trying to use them first as they have expiration dates on them.

Two small UU's and a chuck-out

The UU's
A Dove 55ml Visible Care body wash. I thought there was lots left, but the plastic is so thick and the cream so viscous, it's almost impossible to empty it properly. WIBA? Yes. Next year, if they still make it. It's a lovely luxurious product.

A 10 ml sachet of Body Shop Soya Body Butter. WIBA? I can't, it's been discontinued!! Goodness knows how old that sachet was, as it was lurking in my bedside cabinet, but it must have been around 5 years old. It was fine, bit looser in texture than normal body butter, pure white and pleasant enough to use.

Chuck out A BS cranberry lip balm that was like glue, very un-balmy. WIBA Nope.

I'm serious about the not parting with cash for toiletries, by the way. It's a proper challenge and I like those, plus it will make me think very carefully about what I buy if I just have a limited amount to spend on vouchers /points. I may pop a voucher into my purse in case Tesco have on offer one of the three/four things I will need to buy before the end of the year and then I can get it when I see it.
I tend not to go in Boots other than for prescriptions, so am more likely to use Tesco rather than Boots.
The things are:
Mitchum Roll On Anti Persp. Deodorant (my HG of deodorants and the only one I use.
Toothpaste. No brand loyalty here.
Conditioner. Probably Elvive, though Tesco's own brand cheapo tea tree suits my hair
Hair colour. Probably Clairol Nice n Easy medium brown although I have a pound shop auburn and dark brown in stash.
I'm wondering if I could mix the colours to give a med. brown, and use just one developer bottle, keep the unused half tubes and use the other bottle three months down the line? They are the same brand, which I have used before.
My birthday is in mid May and I will probably ask for moisturiser and perhaps a body butter.
Sorted!

My list of products is too long to type up!
I think the only i will need to buy this year is shampoo and conditioner as I only have a bottle of each left but everything else should last till June if not longer!

I am having a little run in the UU at the mo but not the one's I have reported as spluttering (that damn foot cream!!)


Another UU for me - EA Skin Simple Cleanser/toner 50ml. Was part of a gift set so I didn't buy it in the first place. WIBA - no it was for normal skin and I am oily so ended up using it as shave foam on my legs which it did very well. That's another £2 in the pot.

Wow ma-ri-ella, that's quite a make up stash. I think you could give jacksxx a run for her money! Where is jacksxx? I've not *seen* her for a couple of days.
DD just getting into the bath and cracking open the new conditioner. Hope it's ok! No other UU's or pending UU's but I shall keep on keeping on!
