No Buying Toiletries in March Challenge

I'm using up my Bodyshop Raspberry body butter which I bought late 2009 by using it on my mum's feet most nights...

I saw my first butterfly today unfortunately, I saw it being murdered and eaten on my clean non matching socks pile flaming cat!

Ah! There's always a downside to our beloved pets I've had to save a few hedgehogs and pigeons in my time. Thankfully we've had no massacres in this house - less trees

Was thinking I could try to shift it on ebay on a free listing day but then again I doubt Id even get that much for it all..So difficult lol

I'd probably save it for a free listing day - Top Gear stuff would go quite well I would have thought? :cool:

It's cold here today - I've got my heating and a jumper on :snow_grin

I tried the sachet of hand treatment last night - looked the same as the foot one - big plasticky gloves with an inner layer filled with lotion. Problem is (especially with my child sized hands) the gloves are so big you can't do anything with them on - and they are fairly crinkly so would be annoying to sleep with them on. I don't think I'll buy these again and will probably use the other sachet as a stocking filler I wonder if I could wear ordinary gloves over the top? at least them I would be able to pick up my cuppa and could wear them while watching TV :think:

I once got broken into and had the fingerprint boys round - and they kept asking me if I knew anyone with a 10-12 year old child? I was just 20 at the time so didn't - and they got all worked up because 'there's definately been a child here, Miss XYZ!' - until they took MY prints for elimination - and it turned out I was the one with child sized hands :rotfl:

One UU this morning: No7 Advanced Hydration Day Cream (15ml): WIBA? I don't think so - was nice and thick (like I like them ) but left an ever so slight greasy film. Could have been the age of the product so wouldn't be put off if I got another in a GWP but I wouldn't buy a full size until I've tried it again.

My newly coloured hair looks ...... meh! Definately one of those that looks incredibly normal and really quite flat in everyday light - but when you catch it in the light at the right angle it sparkles all colourful. Do I like it? S'ok It's not so dark that my mother will give me another lecture on dark hair/very pale skin making me look ill - but not too nondescript that I shouldn't have bothered :rotfl:

If only I was 20 years younger - I have the perfect skin tone to make all the other Twillight wannabe's jealous :rotfl::rotfl:

Possibly, although looking through the completed listings theres only been about 3 that have sold recently. I imagine the cost of P&P will put people off, but Ill see

That story is :rotfl:
My OH reckons I have tiny hands too, except my fingers are just short, fat and stumpy

I figured out why my eyes were goggling, I had a migraine. DH came home for lunch and I tried to read the banners on the news and couldn't see. Sight got worse and worse for about 10 minutes until I decided I had to go to bed. Got 1/2 hour before fetching the kids and have shifted the eyes. Still have the head and a bit sicky but that's good enough for now. It must be the thought of the ironing!

I got spammed! Felt quite pleased that someone wanted to message me...

It makes you feel special when you get a PM

Kaz - I'll swap you the ironing, for my windows cleaning

Trudi - As the others have said, go for it.... Let us know how you get on

I was looking at the Liz Earle Clean and Polish this morning and was tempted, my mum has some, so I might sample it next time I call and see what I think - I'm sure there will be another offer on somewhere soon

No uu's to report, although I have opened the OS Honey and Shea butter shower gel and its lush.....

Could I have some advice, i'm running low on foundation and have been looking for a new one to try, i'm using the L'Oreal roll on at the minute and i'm not happy with it, it looks to me as it its 'caked' on. Could anyone recommend something lighter? I have normal skin. TIA

My resolve is wobbling today. I've got a hankering for yet more perfume. Burberry Woman this time, I love it but don't have any. I saw it in a client's house and it reminded me how lovely it is. I had a sniff but that just made it worse. I've had a look at the online shops and its not too expensive but I've told myself it'll still be there after Easter (I've given up perfume buying for Lent, which is a strange thing for an atheist to do, but whatever it takes to lessen the stash:o)

Hello SJP!

I love the Max Factor Lasting Finish foundation - it's my HG and goes on sheer while giving good coverage if you need it in areas. It stays put all day on me too and doesn't make my skin look flaky or dry like some others do. Hope that helps!

you don't want to know :rotfl:Basically, Lloyds have a promo on where you buy one thing and get two free. (perfume and all sorts) I'm sure Celebrate will be along soon to explain in more detail :rotfl:

Bit of news - I've got a job interview/assesment thing wih Boots as a No7 account manager. Not sure of that's a good or bad thing :rotfl:Don't think it's a mega good thing as it was kind of 'book it or miss out' kind of thing. Apparently it's a interview and analysis excercise - anyone got an idea of what the analysis might mean?

Didn't buy any Liz Earle - I've got loads of lovely things and DO NOT NEED IT! However I did buy a body spray, kabuki brush and john frieda intensive conditiner sachet :rotfl:
