It's their 10th anniversary and they're giving away a whole host of clinique freebies with the mag (only one per mag so *ahem* may buy lots of copies for 'friends';))
my friends are also quite lucky with magazines too;) and the girls in the shop next door, the gf of the lad in the paper shop, oh's daughter....:rotfl:EssexHebridean wrote: »*coughs*

Hi and welcome to the newbies :wave:
and many Congratulations to our new mums :beer:
Sorry to hear about your OH Sawan but if he can't stand up to his parents, maybe you are better off. I am divorced now and my outlaws treat me as if I was the one who caused it - actually was him who bu**ered off with another :mad: Excuse my language.
Big hugs tho' and look after yourselfand lots of special treats :rotfl:
UU - a small 7ml Clinique night firming cream - WIBA, yes but can't remember where I got this from and have other creams to use up. it does feel very good on my skin.
Has anyone heard - already posted by :money:that Te**o are selling their sensitive face wipes for 21p !!!!!
Has anyone used these and what are they like? I like using wipes at night but do need to moisturise well afterwards - as I feel they are very drying.
Quite tempted with the BS voucher as have a few Birthdays coming up - can anyone tell me what they think of the BS grapefruit cleanser? Is it like a facial wash that you use with water?
Another month coming up :eek: Keep with the challenge everyone :T0 -
Hello there :wave: another wayward newbie to join in if that's OK?
I know it's late in the month but have slunk in from the grabbit board after purchasing the BS offer and realising I am out of control and cannot say NO!! :cool: (especially after someone broke my resolve-you know who you are!!)
I feel I am in the right place as I have to admit to being a secret lurker since January!:eek: (Been too scared to post) You are so supportive of everyone's achievements, share in their sorrows and are gently chiding when someone falls of the wagon!! I would love to see the length of the naughty step!:D
So make room on there - I'm a coming and I've got a big b*m!:rotfl:.
Welcome, you'll be primped and pampered, buffed and shiny with a dewy glow and lovely whiff by the end of the week.
Errrrm, what did I come on here to post? *Shrugs*. No clue. Och well, nanight. I'm pooped!Debt: 16/04/2007:TOTAL DEBT [strike]£92727.75[/strike] £49395.47:eek: :eek: :eek: £43332.28 repaid 100.77% of £43000 target.MFiT T2: Debt [STRIKE]£52856.59[/STRIKE] £6316.14 £46540.45 repaid 101.17% of £46000 target.2013 Target: completely clear my [STRIKE]£6316.14[/STRIKE] £0 mortgage debt. £6316.14 100% repaid.0 -

Welcome madwife! This is a lovely, delightfully smelling place to hang out
Sawan, so sorry to hear about your man, boo to the in-laws! And boo to him for not standing up for them. Have a slightly dodgy-looking hug from me too :grouphug:and altough it feels rubbish now, I'm sure you'll meet an amazing guy who would move heaven and earth to be with you.
So, I did buy a BS voucher yesterday... I actually bought 2, sorrythere are quite a few things I want though, and on my next trip back to London I will have plenty of spare space in a suitcase (not travelling with hand luggage for once!) so will do a spot of shopping while I can
I also have 2 outs:
- Clinique City Block SPF 25 - actually binned, as it was years old, and I'v ejust bought a brand new one, but the spf40 version. I love this, as my moisturiser doesn't have spf in it (clinique DD Lotion), and when in London, I really did feel less grimy at the end of the day when using it, so did seem to live up to the "city block" name.
- rather rubbish shower puff - found some others last night, as was quite relieved to be able to bin the old one! Came with a Dove travel set I got as a gift.0 -
Huge sympathies to Sawan. I echo others' sentiments in that you will be better off in the long run but realise that you still have to deal with the painful emotions in the meantime. If you are giving in to comfort buying toiletries just now, we will exempt you from the naughty step!
I've been accepted for the foam party too but I'm hoping that the goodies arrive in March so I don't have to add it to this month's ins.0
