    ummm that's got me thinking, did you have receipt or proof of purchase? if not I'm wondering if I can exchange some items from my tote bag for one's I'd prefer more? or is that just plain naughty?

    No I didn't have anything. Just went up to the desk first and asked if it was ok. She looked at it to check it was unused and told me how much in value I could exchange it for. I've done this a couple of times actually, when I need a top up of something and so far, never had any problems. I lurve S&G, but some of the pink ones are just too sweet for me. I much prefer anything with the mist you madly scent ;)
    :hello:No more toiletries challenge :T

    She's not listening.....her little green light's still on! :rotfl:

    Ladies I do appreciate the scoldings!! But about that time I was heading up to bed don't know why it was saying I was online!! Managed to get a few unwanted forms and things completed in the spirit of new year and new starts and nothing bought! But I was still up til 3am tossing and turning in bed - my body clock seems to gave gone back to how it was when I was younger, where I only need 4-5 hrs sleep a night! Not happy as it took me years to train myself to get a 7hrs sleep. I know most people love sleep but I'd rather be doing something and find it hard to sleep IYKWIM. Sorry for the off topic ramble!!

    The 2 UU I had been expecting bit the bullet this morn, the shampoo and conditioner so that's a good start :) x

    I thought I had UU my first product, a 15ml sample of Clarins Capital Luminere Nuit, but I decided to cut open the tube and found about 4 more nights worth of cream there:rotfl:

    woken at 6.30 again for DHs conference call ,how I hate his boss:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:...the latest idea is that the firm offers cover for machine and customers can call in from 5 to 8 at night and get help and the engineers will be on call,great idea BUT there are only 3 of them in the uk and of course they would be expected to do it for free:eek::eek:

    whilst in Boots I saw notices saying use your £5 no 7 coupon.....er what £5 coupon???where does it come from?(not that I would spend any money on tolietries of course:rotfl:)
  • Oh another unexpected UU this time - a pot of 50ml vanilla body lotion i got sent to test WIBA yes, it same as a set of 2, one for normal skin and one for dryer areas and they were a pleasure to use! Shame I'm not sure what make they were - did feel like a body shop body butter but have a feeling it could be a boots/superdrug inhouse one x

    A UU and some get rid ofs...

    Used up:
    Vosene – WIBA? Yes. I bought it because I used it as a kid and love the smell and it only turned out to be the best shampoo for my hair at the time!

    Given to mum/sis:
    MOP Styling tonic
    Dermalogica Multi Active Toner
    Rimmel 60 seconds nail polish – Blue me Away
    17 Ultimate Volume- Moonshine Violet Glitter Rainbow
    Beauty Uk eyeshadow collection – nice colours, decent staying power but, my GOD! The case is a PITA to open :o
    Charles Worthington Rough & Tousled Salt Spray
    MOP Glisten Spray Gloss
    Vo5 Styling Spray heat protection stuff
    Angel Fish Curly Fish Bounce and Curler Spray
    Angel Fish Blow Fish Heat Protecting & Smoothing Cream
    GHD Thermal Protector
    Osis+ Thrill Strong Control Fibre Gm
    CND toe seperators


    I buy things with good intentions (mostly as a result of nipping into boots when I had a spare five minutes to kill :o). Will consider my wrists severely slapped and won't do it again. Anyway, it feels good getting rid of the stuff I don't use - unfortunately I suspect there's a lot more where that came from! :eek: - if only for the fact that I don't have to take it with me when I move... :rotfl::A:p

    It was a till-spit. For Ruby & Millie and No 7. £5 off to be used by 30 January. Haven't decided what to do with mine yet. So much of No 7 is over-priced.

    Today's u/u. GHD heat protection spray. Must be two years old and bought at hairdressers. They no longer keep GHD products and sold me a Paul Mitchell one*. WIBA - yes, it was okay. And used every day just about for two years, worth the initial £15 or whatever outlay.

    Another u/u -Aussie hair conditioner (3 minute miracle). WIBA - yes, love the smell. But using up some Nice'n'Easy tubes before I start my next one.

    * Oops - that's an IN I forgot about! :o
