    Not seen Silent Witness, but can guess what's happened (English and Film student, also studied TV)...so I think I know what might occur, I think it might depend on how the viewers go....they probably have 2 different things filmed just in case)

    littlepinkstars, I'm curvy and I can't buy in H&M either....

    I do it all because I'm scared.

    Gosh! You girls chat a lot! Lol It has taken me ages to get to this page! So much my OH is in bed already and waiting for me! Lol

    Kaz, lovely thoughts and quite positive that your ladies were still pampering and looking after themselves.

    lizziebabe, I had the BS camomile eye make up remover but found that I had to wipe my eyes several times before everything came out. I have used lately two eye make up remover that are silicone based and you have to shake and mix, I only need to pass the cotton over my eye once, twice the most, even with heavy eyeliner. One was Lancome and the other one is Clinique. I have not tried the Loreal one people is recommending though.

    mcculloch, thanks for that post and link! Some nostalgia in that thread.

    roshydoshy, I think that a good High SPF is more important than antiaging creams when you are mid 20.The more you avoid now sun spots, sun burns and pigmentation problems, the less you will need antiaging creams!

    I went to Boots and bought nothing :D I need to go back and buy hair dye but I have decided to buy it with my £10 voucher :D I have two £5 N7 vouchers but I don't think I will use them since all the items I wanted from the online shop are not available in the High Street! :mad:

    See you tomorrow!

    Another small UU for me. This time Johnsons Body Lotion 50mls which I bought for a holiday in June 2008!!! So 2 and a half years later I have finally used it up :j. Only have a 50mls of the Johnsons holiday skin lotion left from that set to UU and will be on to that tomorrow (after sniffing it to make sure it is still okay).

    Not really keen on Johnsons Body lotion so WNBA. I need to write my sealed pot an IOU for £2 as I am now out of cash!!

    Note to self - stop off at the cash machine tomorrow.

    I've just had a bath and was sure I'd UU the big bottle of Vaseline lotion finally as it was spluttering (actually, it was farting at me y'day:rotfl:) so I stood it on its lid and tonight its tummy has settled and it seems to have doubled in volume:mad: I've slathered it on everywhere and there still seems to be plenty left:(

    Have any of you had trouble with BS Cucumber Cleanser? I've been using it for a week or so, on the nights when I don't Oil Cleanse (so probably 2 out of 3) and I've had 3 really painful big spots erupt. They don't have a head on them like normal "zits" but they're purple and so sore:( and sooo unattractive. I'm going to give the BS stuff a miss for a while then try again but at the first sign of trouble its in the bin, or donated to a mate with less dodgy skin! I'm usually OK with BS, I swear by their Carrot Cream :(

    one UU today that I forgot earlier - Ive ditched the spray curl stuff that I bought ages ago - it makes my hair curl without any frizz, but it makes it feel horrible after,so as its abotu 3/4 gone,i figured thats enough.... WIBA?? no.

    and I found about 1/3 hair reducing body moisturiser botanics - so am getting rid of that now for a change,and to get me back on the UU list properly !!

    Ok, a case of needs must, and not even remotely related to the challenge but....

    I just used piles cream on my face. I had no moisturiser and it was either that or tea tree conditioner.

    Furthermore, the cream was found after a bathroom cupboard hunt.

    I hope this ends well. HAHAHAHAHAH!

    :rotfl: Well is it's any help I hear that beauty pageant queens in the US use pile cream to shrink spots, so you will have a pimple-free complexion for the foreseable future if nothing else! :rotfl:

    In all seriousness, I hope it's not that stuff, though!

    Apparently it's good for wrinkles as well?
    I expect to wake up tomorrow with the skin of a new born!
  • Just a quick message to say I will defiantly have some IN's to report later. It's my birthday today, and already know i've got 2 Boots sets!

    Will report in tonight with a proper list :)
  • Am I obsessed? Am I cheating?! I had three body scrubs on the go. So I've decanted them into two pots and am now thinking I've used one up! One of them was an Origins metal tube which was leaking, you know when you squeeze the tube and it cracks. Anyway, I've got one less thing in the stash so I'm happy.

    Going to have a shower now. Then use the foot cream which refuses to run out!
