    Crumbs, Runnerbean17. If you wash your hair 5 times a week using 10 ml each time (roughly two teaspoons or one sample sachet per wash) you should run out sometime in October 2014.

    it is on offer at £6.66 in tesco never used it before as usually get a non perm one will let you know what I think of it.
    Tesco now doing threading and manicures and this week if you spend £10 on a treatment you get a free manicure....not sure i'd fancy getting anything done near the tills in our store:rotfl:

    Hope you used one of the £2.50 off vouchers floating around? JF have been giving loads away. I gave one to a lady in Boots today and told them about the vouchers in the ACM - always do that due to good karma/what goes round, comes round beliefs. I might have another one somewhere.

    Re the Body Shop ranges that are being dicontinued - what I want to know, is what happens to all the stock they had on the shelves a few weeks ago? Do they send them to the Outlet stores or what?
    They must have tons because nothing online ever seemed to sell out? I guess they just re-package the gift sets of current items and crank the prices back up judging from what's now out in my local BS.

    On that note, does anyone know any BS outlets? The only one I know is Clarks Village in Somerset which is a long way from me. :( I need something in London/Essex/Herts type area please!:)

    I did work at the body shop and the discontinued ranges come back for every sale. I think they just keep the spares upstairs until the next sale. There were always piles of blueberry body butter but hardly any almond ones because they were so popular! I saw some nutmeg and vanilla scrybs lying around from christmas and this was in july:rotfl:

    !

    The Zara changing rooms are the worst/best I've found (depending on how you look at it). Depressing because it's hard to look good in them but good because you can really see what needs fixing with their lighting.

  • :eek: a few late nights at work and I have a few pages to catch up on. Roshy, sorry you didn't get the job but good luck on your plans for Oz. Rosemary, sorry you have no explination for the illness.

    So a few UU's -
    Sensodyne toothpaste, wiba, yes. These are my HG of toothpaste but I flitter between whitening/original/pro enamal. Onto a supermarket tub, the last in my stash woo, and will see how this compare to save approx £1 on each tube.

    Imperial leather Tahitian retreat shower gel, wiba, no. It was on offer in a shop in 2009 and thought it sounded great. Used it for the first time in 2010 and the smell of my skin after use was like I had just bathed in the sea. It spluttered for over 4 months :o

    Lush Happy hippy shower gel, wiba, no. I purchased it on recomendation that it was exactly like the hippy chick ballistics from easter, its not so I was glad I only purchased 100g :)

    Slowly getting there. My aim is to have only one of each item open in the bathroom and then my stash to fit in my S&G 'rush' shower toiletries bag, and that big. The exception is my Lush soaps which can't overflow my Lush christmas favourite tin. Very, very close its shower gel that I seem to stash :cool:

    Have a great remainder of the week all :beer:

    Two UUs - Boots Extracts Henna & Horse Chesnut shampoo and conditioner. WIBA? No, didn't really feel that it enhanced my hair colour.

    Ive got these on the go at the moment (along with the deep treatment) and I cant see them doing much for my colour yet either - Im a little bit disappointed by them,cos while my hair feels quite nice and smells pretty good - if anything my colour is fading, and the point of choosing the colour specific ones was to help keep my hair colour....

    though have to admit - for 91p, I wont worry about it if I need to buy again and cant afford my HG (if I ever find it!) ! :rotfl:
