Question regarding "Wish Upon A Jar". What happens after 21 days? Do u have to leave it for a particular length of time before u start again, or what? Are u supposed to have used it all in the 21 days? I'm confused by this, but I am a blonde:p

:rotfl:I was wondering the same thing! I asumed it would run out at the end of 21 days but it won't have (although I've stopped using it in the morning as it was soooo greasy!) and it says on the box you should use it every three months. It also says that you can use it UNDER your normal moisturiser if you want...if I did that, my face would be an oil slick :eek:. Don't think I will use it again and I love S&G!

A few recent purchases - Arm and Hammer toothpaste (my son put that in the trolley and it was only £1), a Sanctuary face pack which I used my AC poiints for. Boots Botanics cleanser, face pack and moisturiser - these were on 3 for 2 so £10.71 in total. Also the Aldi 7 day skin treatment.

Does anyone know what I can spend the £5 facial skincare voucher on that doesn't cost much more than a fiver? My skin is extremely dry on the forehead, nose and chin at the moment which is why I made the skincare purchases.

I am getting low on hair conditioner but have some bits and bobs I can use up until the matching shampoo runs out so will try not to buy any more condiitioner this month.

I'm off on a little weekend break tomorrow (Glasgow and Edinburgh)

Have a good time, but remember on Sunday it's the Old Firm Derby so be careful (usually I'm up there to cheer on my beloved Hoops but MSE means I have to save and watch it in the pub... )

NOw I heard (only today) that the number 18 is supposed to be lucky/ bless. 1 means life and 8 means infinity. Or something like that - either way it's a very good sign.

Oh thats a bit of good news! Thanks for that seems like fate - what's meant to be is meant to be!

Happy (belated) birthday Trudi :beer:

I have some INs to report - not my fault, kind of!

I usually sign up to these magazine subscriptions where its #7 for 6 months but you get #5 back on quidco and a free gift - have to keep eyes peeled, well this one is from the Glamour one...
1x BIG bottle of Tressemme naturals shampoo
1x BIG bottle of Tressemme naturals conditioner
1x foam shampoo (supposed to be the same as dry shampoo?? seems a bit of a faff :huh: )
1x tressemme hair serum

I had totally forgotton these, but as luck would have it my newly converted TIGI loving father saw me open these and saw the 'Low sulfate' and 'silicon free' signs (i think he's been reading the back of the shampoo again and/or my magazines lying around :rotfl: ) and has hinted he would like to try them when the TIGI runs out (very MSE bottle, had it before Christmas (Nov I think) and its about 250ml/750ml left!!!! )

On a plus side, my sister is back for the week so I'm sure I'll be gifting her a few items

Have a good weekend all xx

Oh and I also got the epilator invite on BzzAgent - has anyone else? I feel a bit naughty, I didn't even do the surveys before as it has an instore price of 170 :eek: so thought I would have to pay towards it - obviously not!!x

I think I may have spend some time on the naughty step very soon. I've just found a shop on Ebay that has stock of the big bottles of FCUK Pure body wash & lotion. This seems to have been discontinued:( Boots have the minis of the range and the 175ml of wash and lotion but no scrub, I looked on the French Connection site and they're only listing the lotion and hand cream. Looks like its being run down. Typically as soon as I find something my skin and I both like its discontinued. I have lots of other stuff to get thru but the HUGE bottles at the prices I've seen are too good to miss out on:o Aren't they?
