    OMG! I never knew that! How exciting! I'd have to keep my kitchen sparkling all the time (ie not let DH anywhere near it ever!) though. Couldn't have mucky sides going on display!

    Prima mag arrived today with free sachets of tressemme shampoo and conditioner....always useful for a night in a hotel as the stuff in hotels(well the ones I can afford:rotfl:) are not always very good.
    they also have a book of money saving tips this month

    Both Prima and another mag I had on direct debit now say it will be going up from £12 a year to £20:eek::eek::eek:they point out it is still cheap compared to buying in shops(yes but we don't get the freebies:()but I decided to cancel the dds as a/ think it is too much of a price rise b/ can get them elsewhere with ipoints or similar and c/ never seem to get round to reading them as too busy on MSE threads thesedays:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    I buy my subscription with Tesco points, think you can probably do it with Nectar points too...

    UU to report- Timotei golden highlights shampoo WIBA for sure, smells nice, leaves my hair really soft and about 20 times cheaper than the TIGI I so adore but decided to cut back a couple of months ago.
    Debt free and busy treating myself:)

    No more toiletries/make up until I've used what I've got stashed since Jan 2011, graduated October 2012. Restocked Dec 13..damn those sales
  • PRCP -Pink Rose Candle Philosophy. From Erma Bombeck who said, 'If I had my life to live over again I would have burned the pink candle sculptured like a rose that melted in storage'. Don't keep things 'for best' or 'for a special occasion'. That day never arrives. Give the best to yourself now and enjoy it.

    Thanks so much for providing the quote - it is now proudly sitting within the opening post of this thread :T!

    Does anyone who uses a body puff also use body scrubs as well. I've thought about putting my shower gel in one of my liquid soap pump bottles and using a body puff I've got but also have body scrubs to use up as well and didn't want to scrub my skin too much.
    Did owe £9,951.96

    Now helping hubby pay off loan. Finally paid off :j

    I do lynseydee. I don't find I'm overscrubbed. In fact, I get scaly knees in the winter. Too much jeans wearing methinks!

    Thanks Kaz, I might decant some now then, although it probably means my shower gel is going to last twice as long which with 56 shower gels I don't know if that's a good thing or not :rotfl:

    I have to be a bit careful with puffs and scrubs, but that's because I body-brush to get my circulation going, so my skin is already tingly before it even gets wet.

    2 INs
    Free sample of Sanex shower gel from Cosmo

    3 OUTs
    Boots choc shower cream WIBA? From the same set I've been using, nice and creamy and moisurising but not keen on smell
    Sanex shower gel as above WIBA? Yes, we buy this all the time
    Reach Junior mouthwash WIBA? Not a chance, it tastes like the 2p bubbly gum I used to buy as a kid that had a 'tattoo' in it :rotfl::rotfl:
