    Did anyone else join the 'Foam Party' thing for Colour Blend Foam in the hope of getting a free hair colourant? http://www.myfoamparty.com/

    As with all these survey thingys that offer a decent freebie, it might pay to think of the answers that the people giving the survey would want to hear.:D
    spent 5 mins doing this only to be rejected :(

    lovely meal in the pub last night and only cost £22 for 3 courses and 2 drinks each...bargain time :)
    DH agreed to go to Stratford in may so just booked tickets for Merchant of Venice with the lovely Patrick Stewart :j:j:j:j

    started to use a Clarins rich body lotion today,bought it as was a special large size offer and wanted to get the gwp, don't usually like lotion but this is more like a butter as a squirt stays as a blob on your hand rather than running off,nice delicate perfume too and sinks in well WIBA yes if on offer(also looks classy on dressing table:))I have a small one which will take on hols.
  • February is going to be my no buying month too!! Absolutely no buying, no way!!

    Although the minute I decided this I found out Debs were doing Clinique bonus time in February. Which no-one on here will buy obviously!:p

    It is also a coincidence that my no buying month is the shortest month btw.:D

    xx

    I'm holding out for the Boots one, which is usually March I think? I need tinted moisturiser, and have to make the decision as to whether simply to buy two of those, or whether to stash another face powder (Clinique Blended powder is my HG product) - either way I will be paying with Boots points! :A

    maybe i need to go to the big town to see if i can find the No7 cloths as they are something i really want and my tidly one doesn't stock anything like that.
    Marta you got some fab bargains there! i never see anything useful in the reduced toiletries. OH did once get me 3 bottles of hair conditioner for 40p each was good but i've never seen things like that.

    You'll all understand this. I've just updated my toiletry stock list and one section is down to ONE line. OK there's 2 things on the one line but that just means one in use and one spare! i can't remember the last time i ever got so close to getting all my stock of something used up. And it's one of my HG products so sometime this year i'm going to have to look for a glitch or a sanctuary 3 for 2 offer.

    Woo Hoo! Well done LT!

    Yes, and I did indeed answer..errr....creatively! :rotfl: Now to wait and see if I get the goodies!

    Am going to take the time a little later to do a list of the various types of products I use, along with HG products where I have found them. I will post it when it's done!

    I did, but it didn't tell me if I'd been accepted or rejected!! Just that they would be in touch...

    I've taken a S&G Clean on Me out of the stash to put it in the shower as I'm fed up of using my freebie Dove bath creme as a shower gel, and the mini shower gel and shower scrub I got at christmas have finished x

    afternoon all.

    A couple of UU/get rid offs here:

    UU: BS neutraganics(SP) night cream - WIBA? maybe, I quiet liked it but I really want to use my face stuff up so I can go and get a nice matching set of everything!
    Throw out: ESPA protection serum - WIBA? NO!!!!! Gave me spots, didn't smell great and did nothing for my skin.

    onwards and upwards to the rest. Have a couple of things spluttering so planning on having a bath and slathering myself in goodies and hopefully will UU a couple of bits over the weekend :)

    OH btw - what is the name of the piles/eye cream everyone is using - Think I might give it a go :)
    New surname New start!
    Total Debt - [STRIKE]£9999.09 [/STRIKE]now 7633.16 23.66% paid off
  • I've got a splutterer - a Sure deodorant - would be something I'd class as a necessity more than a luxury. But it is 1 less and I've still got about 4 more..
    Don't walk behind me; I may not lead. Don't walk in front of me; I may not follow. Just walk beside me and be my friend...
