    Have to admit Im dreading it turning all Dallas on us now (on the grounds that it would be a bit hard for him to be in the next episode if hes dead....though I guess it could always turn into a kind of Randall and Hopkirk (diceased) effort...) cos I really dont see how he would have had time to do it all - and the person walking away looked far more sound than Id have expected someone who was shot in one if not both legs to be....

    love Harry - think hes pretty much perfect (though a bit on the skinny side,but I'll forgive him that!!)

    must rememebr to pamper bath before 9 tonight !!!! :rotfl:


    Have been laughing at all your SW posts cos when I got into work this morning ALL my friends could talk about was whether IT had really happened!! They were so stressed about Harry they had to go online to find the trailer for next weeks programme. After that they did some work :rotfl:

    I was sitting in the corner shouting "its not real" and "its just a telly programme" but they ignored me. :)

    Wishing all the SW fans a more restful evenings TV tonight!

    Use up:
    :) Radox smoothies - wiba yes (already have). Lovely smell, leaves skin soft - its my cheap alternative to the Elemis frangijfsjaf (ahhh spelling) shower cream which is lovely but about £20 a tube.

    In the spirit of the pink candle philosophy (using lovely stuff today, not saving for a tomorrow) I dug out:
    - S&G shower gel (the one from the tote bag)
    - Clarins body cream
    - Clarins hand cream (both of these were Gift With Purchase "freebies")
    There all lovely stuff out and will be used later.

    Have to give up on:
    :(Nivea oil free moisturiser - wiba no. Sadly my fickle skin sniffed this out as a body shop seaweed/oil free imposter and said no, and gave me horrible spots. Will pass to a friend. I would use it up on my neck and stuff but I need richer cream there plus I dont want spots there either. Lesson is= buy what you love :)

    May have to give up on:
    :( S&G scrub your nose in it - wiba no. Its from the tote bag and I think that also upset my skin and contributed to the spots. Some may say ah thats bringing them out well I dont want the blasted things!!!! So its in the cupboard while I think about it - I hate to waste stuff - but I could also give that to a friend.All in all I think it was a bit harsh for my skin. I will go back to my usual skincare products and see if all the spots (plural) clear up.:(

    Will update the plan in a tick.

    sorry - continuing the off topic replies.... so budge up on the naughty step - Im off to investigate And's linky.... :D

    Thanks keza - I've made my mind up it's (S&G scrub your nose in it) going to a friend to try it. Must buy some Dermologica urgently! My 1 bottle of it in use will splutter (well it's powder so it will puffer away any time soon!!) :A

    Am persisting with the S&G tote but so far its not going well:-
    :( Didnt like Glamgirl (spelling?) moisturising spray - sticky and far too sweet smelling.
    :( Scrub your nose in it - too harsh for my skin, brought out reaction of spots which dont get with other exfoliants.
    :) Will try the shower gel (huge size) from the tote next.

  • I am glad I am not the only one to have had a breakout after using S & G scrub your nose in it! I used it sunday and yesterday had a load of little spots appear! I think I may have to give this one a miss. I can only assume whatever is in it is designed to draw them out but personally I dont want them!!
  • No UU's to report.

    But i have been shopping pretty much all day! I bought a dress in town, brought it home...lovely on but doesn't fit my boobs in it!! What is it with H&M, do they have some kind of prejudice against people with [STRIKE]slightly[/STRIKE] larger than average boobs??!!! So i'm just back from the shopping centre, took it back, found nothing there!! Resisted Boots, Superdrug, TBS and Tesco!
    But i still don't have a dress to wear for Saturday for my birthday night out! :(

    Totally off topic i know!

    To be fair, H&M are completely prejudiced against anyone with any figure at all. I don't know anyone with curves of any description and who is about a size 8 who looks good in any of their clothes. They dress for 'straight-up, straight-down' women with no curves, who basically have the figures of pre-pubescent boys. Don't feel bad, just don't shop there - shop somewhere that realises that real women (whatever their size) quite often DO have curves!
