LOL - well the hallway is smaller than the bathroom and ...... I'd be worried about setting the smoke alarms (on the landing ceiling) off!!!!!!!! :eek:
I actually did that when we were on holiday last year
Took us ages to figure out how to turn the thing off cos it was one of those electric ones! XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX:wave:XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX0 -

Have tried the Tesco hot cloth cleanser one, S&G (both very similar although Tesco one miles cheaper), Elemis Lavender cleanser, Pro Radiance Cleanser and Melting Gel Cleanser and Decleor foaming cleanser. The only one that I noticed any significant results with was the Elemis Lavender one (have another in stash) but then that seemed to only be when I used the toner with it and I don't like that! May try the A'Kin one next.Back for the No Buying Toiletries challenge. I pledge to only buy when I run out of a product that is not already in my stash no matter what wonderful emails land in in my Inbox or threads I read on MSE re: glitches!

nothing to do with toiletries.....just had an order of floristry supplies and had a major shock when I openned 1 box.I thought I had ordered 72 assorted pieces of oasis as that was what it showed on the site....instead I have 100 small cylinders:eek::eek::eek::eek: the web page shows a pic of oblongs and cylindrs and says both are shown but I did not notice the heading said cylinders,having said that the quantity was def stated as 72 so no idea why I have 100 at the rate I use them they will last forever:o:o:o
just bought 12 red roses from tesco reduced to £1.75:)(well that uses up 1 cylinder!0 -
i have a IN but i did not pay for it it came in the post no idea where it came from its only a sample of Olay Regenerist flawless skin cream 7ml. something else to add to the list.0

Two ins today - an olay regenerist moisture thingy - but only tiny,so wont last all that long, and a HUGE tub of flake away (which I swapped with sofababe for my almost full Clean on Me) so no money changing hands. and a fairly bit OUT as well - do I get to avoid the naughty step?? (please say yes - Im meeting my friend in a minte to go and see Gnomeo and Juliet !!!)Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup0

I got an Olay sample today too! But I'm looking at it as "research" rather than an "in" as i didnt buy it

i have just had a look at what samples i have and i have got 3 different olay ones (6 in total)and i think there might be one in the superdrug parcel im waiting for. i have got a funny feeling that olay makes my skin itch, i will try them when i have finished my day face cream near the end of the week and report back.0

I think it's my mum's cousin who lives in Bodmin, and I think her name is Pat Munn, she writes books about Bodmin, and I enjoyed our visit to the old jail when we found out about Charlotte Dymund.
I know Pat Munn! Well my Mum does! Actually I think she may have taught/had something to do with a school I went to for a few months. Small world!
One in to report - the olay skin cream, doen't count though as I didn't pay for it
I want a perfect body, I want a perfect soul, I want you to notice when I'm not around[/SIZE][/FONT][/B]0
