    UU to report: Mitchum body protection only. Regular product but now using Garnier deodrorant which was on offer in superdrug. Will see how I get on with it,

    I can now buy more bodyshop products with no guilt as I've finished the hemp hand cream which I've had for a year and my mum and I are going to open the last two handcreams in my stock as we've both run out. Yes!

    Sawan - thanks for that - I'll have a look in Boots when I'm there next :)

    Kaz - :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    UU one of these today PROD_1061485S.jpg definitely would buy again - use it as conditioner (don't think it's supposed to be used like that :rotfl:) works great!

    I also use Top Cashback - am also too tight to pay the £5!

    How do I do the Tesco DTD? Edit: found it!

    If you don't get it, please own up :D


    :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: I want one - do you think it will be worth more as an antique of the future :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:


    So! Nibbly-fish-pedicure was FABULOUS!! Once I got past the initial tickliness (and I admit I giggled like a 10 year-old :o) it was really nice and relaxing. I had a 30min dip with the fish and then a 10 minute massage afterwards. To be honest I was a bit bored after 20 minutes - but I would definately do it again as long as I remembered to take a magazine or a book :D Apparently a 30 minute session removes a layer and a half of dead skin :eek:

    Both the girls that washed/massaged my tootsies said how lovely and soft and well kept they were so I'm very pleased :D

    Popped to the Origins counter while I was in town to drop off some empties and got a sample of Brighter By Nature Skin Tone Correcting Moisturiser. I have a huge bag of empties to recycle but only took a few in case they didn't do it and I'd have to cart them home again - but they had a box to post your empties in and a sign to explain what it was about - So I'll take some more next week, and the week after - it says you get one sample no matter how many you take in so I'll do mine in stages :p

    Went to Boots to see if I could get some No7 Gloves with my skinny and the girl on the counter told me that NONE of the city centre stores stocked them :eek: and when I asked if they stocked the Muslin Cloths because I couldn't find them she told me they had them but didn't put them on display :mad:

    I could have got some gloves from the Botanics range but they weren't in the 3for2 and were more expensive than the Avon ones so I didn't bother. Left boots without buying a thing :T :T

    Bath later - bit of a pamper and relax and early to bed :D

    :cool:
  • Evening,
    cant believe how quick this thread is moving, will attempt to read back shortly, but if I dont come back, then I am still trying!

    One uu for me - no7 essential day moisturiser probably wnba as nothing special and seems expensive, also slightly greasy.

    Only ins to declare is toothpaste from Mr T, buy 1 get 2 free and some mouthwash, so doing well.

    Have just been pampered by dh painting my toenails for me, with No7 Rose Truffle which looks lovely - lol.

    Anyway hope everyone well & now off to attempt to catch up.

    Im liking the sound of these crackle nail varnishes - when Ive paid the stud, I may have to treat myself....

    OBVIOUSLY to a colour that I dont have already, thus avoiding the naughty step...

    on a lesser level - I have a dilemma ladies - I have a lad chasing me who is very keen.... Ive usually been out with younger men, and find them way more fun and less baggaged than older men or men my own age.... but at 37, should I really be seeing someone who is 25??? Its not like hes a teenager or anything - and he doesnt care at all..... (hes lovely, and looks after one of the horses running at Cheltenham tomorrow - so eeeek and keep everything crossed for him !!)

    defo go for it, age is just a number from someone with a 10 year age gap and it makes no difference if you are happy, I like to think because dh is immature and I am mature :rotfl:we meet well in the middle!

    Guys, slightly off-topic, do any of you use TCB or Quidco? I'm not signed up with any cashback site, and always back down when thinking about it. Is it worth it and is it secure??

    It can be on-topic as I was looking at the TCB/free LYB card deal - just for general knowledge of course. TIA

    I use TCB mainly because they pay pretty much the same as Quidco but don't charge the admin fee.
    Did owe £9,951.96

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

    Owe Virgin [STRIKE]£5,950.00 [/STRIKE]at 0% til June 2009 £3,427.89. Owe HSBC [STRIKE]£5,460.78 [/STRIKE]2.9% til May 2010 £3,703.07. Owe Post Office £1,676.62 at 0% til September 2010

    Okay I admit it I gave in, after 24 hours thinking about the BS offer I made an order. But I didn't go mad only spent enough for free delivery :A
    Did go into boots today and get my No7 Cleanser and Toner, but they only worked out at £3 each with Vouchers. I got two meal deals and did them seperately with the No7 so walked away with 2 more vouchers lol :j But I am trying really hard :rotfl:
