    I would rather wash and run and let my hair dry over my 2 hour commute and let it go curly... obviously in the winter this is risking a cold but hey ho.
    .

    that's an old wives tale - you don't catch a cold by being wet, or cold. You catch it from sneezes and coughs from people who already have one.

    I also wash and run - I can't remember the last time I used a hairdryer. I have long hair so it goes up in a bulldog clip type thingy and is sometimes still damp at the end of the day.

    It's going Ok for me -I've resisted 3 Beauty TSVs on QVC, and all the January Try Me Offers, the half price sets in Boots and all the special offers on counters.

    And it's only Day 8! :eek:

    Same here! Also resisted 3 beauty TSV's and will try, try, try to resist the Decleor on the 23rd. The recent increase in the p&p has also put me off. October 2010 L'occitane TSV now has the postage up to £6.08:eek: - no way worth it!

    Hi ladies

    Been soooo busy today! I had to do a quick tidy upstairs to make room for my MB stuff and then ended up having a massive tidying session. They are all hidden away safely now! :) I'm going for a well-earned pampering session shortly, ah bliss :D

    hmm, I think I might have to chuck some mascaras out, I don't wear make-up very often, but I have some mascaras that are, erm, quite old! is 3 months the longest you should keep them then?! I didn't know that :S

    Don't chuck them!!! Save them up and take them to Debenhams Clinique counter, you can swap for a free Clinique mascara! :T

    Managed not to let OH see in the boxes and stashed them all away, will put them on top of my wardrobe. To answer SJP's question - each set has ten 50ml shower gels, all different. They look FAB. Am thinking of pairing one set with some Christy towels as a wedding gift, what do you think?

    I would love to receive that as a gift! I never feel I can spend a lot on stuff for me, so I'd be ecstatic!

    No UU today for me, but I've cut open my hand cream and I think it will last another couple of days. It was only yesterday that I cut open my work handcream as well. I have 2 Vaseline hand and nail creams in my stash, and that's it for hands. So, within days I'll be onto both and I'll need another as a spare. I'd like to try the S&G Endless Glove dry hand cream, does anyone have any opinions on this please ? :)

    It's scary to see it all like that actually, I could probably have had another holiday if I hadn't bought all that!

    I do enjoy them all, I just think it would be good to pare it back to maybe two of each product type to keep myself under control :D

    Essential care products are lovely. The shampoo is quite strange initially as it doesn't lather anything like an ordinary shampoo, but it does make your hair really squeaky clean. They say you don't need to use a conditioner with it but I've never been brave enough as I have dry hair. Their skin care is really good too and their customer service ace.
