No Buying Toiletries in Jan 2011 !!!!

rosemary54

went to a dance last night,not bad but my friend was knocked over in the viennese waltz and a woman stood on my foot in the last waltz and laddered my tights and drew blood:eek:dangerous this dancing lark!!!

grotty day as DH(!) upset me 1st thing and ended up telling me he wanted me to leave then wondered why I got very upset(30 years together)he started creeping about an hour ago(I suspect cos he wanted feeding)and said sorry but when I asked what he was sorry for he said he did not know:mad::mad::mad:men!!!!!He agrees I have been a good wife (e.g clean house,food when he gets home,washing and ironing done etc etc etc)and that he can be a pig BUT he still wont talk about things that are important to me(or go to relate) and says he is not bothered about them:(....sorry to ramble,think I need to be on a relationship forum!!!...think maybe I make life too comfortable for him.
A couple we know divorced and the man was shocked saying she divorced me and I dont know why...all her mates did tho he was a real pain and she had had enough!!...told DH he should go and live with the man:rotfl:
cos of row we have missed our usual sunday swim so think I will have a Lush bath bomb and face mask to help my tear sore face!

Oh Rosemary - huge hug, men can be such idiots cant they - really dont know how you married lot do it !!!

Forgot another UU - well to be fair, its a "leaked all over my bag" rather than a UU - the hideous perfume I got from pabo years ago. (dont google pabo unless you are quite brave - I buy their lingerie only, honest!!!) WIBA?? no.

I'd like to try the S&G Endless Glove dry hand cream, does anyone have any opinions on this please ?

I did like this the firts couple of times I tried it but I found it went off quite quickly, then it smelled really awful. I ended up using it on my feet.

Oh Rosemary, I hope things turn out the way you want them to. Men! Grrr!

Hope Lynsey is ok too.

hello to all newbies and rosemary, vent all you like to us! big hugs to you

I know I have 2 UU to report, one John Frieda Conditioner that came with the hair dye WIBA yes but as I think i'll be going back blonde now for summer I will have to wait until I go dark or red again when I get bored of that hair colour :rotfl:

the 2nd UU i cant remember lol sorry!

I've come out in a stinker of a rash today all over my neck and chest area, I used an Elizabeth Arden face wash for the first time (sisters have gone back to uni so am trying to declutter the bathroom AGAIN) and I suppose this must be it. Its angry red and raw, very itchy, and when I put dermobase moisturiser on it it really flamed up again - very strange!

Have a good night ladies x

Thank you, maybe I'll try something else then. I have enough stuff for my feet already :rotfl:

Huge hugs Rosemary, what colossal prats men can be, I'm so sorry that all that upset stopped you having good things today.

I have UU's to report! A 50g pot of Aldi's Lacura night cream that had rolled under the bed and had to be demoted to foot cream as it had got a bit yellow.
WIBA? Most certainly, next year. Aldi's Lacura products are excellent value for money and work very well indeed. I like their serum, which is £3.99 I think, and the Syn-nake serum pen which really does reduce lines and is £6.99, you can't go wrong.

Second UU -a 50g trial pot of BS Coconut Body Butter which was dated 2007! It was fine, hadn't gone waxy or anything. WIBA? Yes. Next year. I'm now intending to use up some FCUK body cream which was a last Christmas gift.

Third UU - a great case of synchronicity. As someone was posting about what to do with unwanted shower gels this morning, I was busy pouring 100 ml of Tesco Magnolia bath and shower gel into a 333ml Carex Manuka Honey and Oatmilk handwash. The gel mixed in beautifully with the c 220 ml of handwash.

WIBA? No. The magnolia was part of a Secret Santa gift last year. It didn't have much of a scent, lathered ok, but was really bland. I like stronger scents, so long as they don't clash.

This forum - and this thread in particular - is doing me the world of good. I am decluttering, not buying stuff I don't need and in using products up, I'm pampering myself. I feel so happy about all three aspects.
I think many of us are so guilty of buying things to be used at 'special times'.
But every day has the potential to be special - in using something luxurious, we elevate it out of the mundane. We focus upon ourselves in using the product, boost our self-esteem, and if we have been bought the product as a present, it's a little reminder of the love behind that gift.

Many of you will have probably seen an email doing the rounds by the late Erma Bombeck, a wonderful American writer and humorist. She wrote it shortly before her death from cancer, and it is entitled
'If I Had My Life To Live Over Again' and is a list of things she felt she should have done. It starts 'I would have talked less and listened more'.
One of the thoughts is 'I would have burned the pink candle shaped like a rose before it melted in storage.'

I think we all have our 'pink rose candles' - things which we should be using up, but aren't. And then they will go off and be discarded - they will go in to landfill, and damage the environment instead of making us feel good.
I intend burning all my candles, metaphorically, anyway this coming year. I'm going to enjoy the experience.
Love to all you lovely, supportive friendly people. Consider yourself hugged.
