    Like the decoration, Kaz: I'm normally more of a plain bright pain colour rather than dark flowered wallpapered girl, but I like what you have done. :)

    Hope you enjoy it! x

    I'm at w*rk at the moment so I can't access facebook. It's linked from my facebook album so should just open when you click the link. Unless you're at work too? I seem to remember you can't see pics from work and have to wait until you get home.
    I can't wait for the masks to arrive.
    Oh how quickly we forget! I've just remembered confessing to buying 5 pots of microwave wax last week (Thursday I think) which I went to use that evening and had a microwave fire. I then found I had blocked drains on Friday. They stayed blocked until Monday morning despite me emptying them with a bucket on Saturday and rodding with all my might on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. 5 Litres of brick acid seems to have done the trick though!

    Hi,

    My S&G Glad hair day went from spluttering to empty in one wash. :(WBA because it smells nice and leaves my hair silky soft. It'll have to wait though until my shampoo stash has gone.

    I have three splutterers, the S&G hand food that lives in my bag, i've cut this open and it's now in the bathroom. My Sunsilk conditioner and Ds2's kid's shampoo.

    The nails are growing on me although my OH wasn't impressed with them.:cool:

    Hi all

    Just a flying visit
    Two IN's Mitchum Smart Solid Anti-Perspirant Deodorant Stick - Waterlily -haven't tried the stick before usually a roll-on user. Have started using Mitchum Deo as I know it was someones (sorry can't remember who) HG deo so thought I would give it a go and it is really good. I went though a few years of trying several "natural" deodorants but to be honenst they just didn't do the job. Anyway, if anybody has a Waitrose near them they were selling off the Mitchum Smart Solid Anti-Perspirant Deodorant Stick - Waterlily for 69p each, in the toiletries clearance section.:)

    One UU - Liz Earle Botanical Essence™ No.1 50ml- WIBA - It was a gift last March so I would use it again but I have about 6 full size perfumes (600ml approx to UU first) :o

    Another UU -Gatineau Activ Eclat Radiance Enhancing Gommage 5ml - just a sample UU that was given to me by a friend. Did like it but prefer the Liz earle gentle face exfoliator I think so WNB.

    Don't understand this tesco DTD thing -need to go and look into it will ask celebrate if I get stuck!

    Welcome back Tara and well done Bronnie:T
  • OUT in this morning's shower - Body Shop Coconut Shower Cream. WMBA as it smelt lovely and I thought it was very moisturising, but it was a little bit on the thick side when first applied to skin so it might work better in a shower puff. That takes me to 19 OUTs for 2011 so far, I'm aiming for 25 by the end of the month but that does include Give and Make Up parcels.

    I'm also taking a load of stuff to my boyfriend's flat this afternoon as I'm off to visit him in London (for the last time before I move, no more Sunday trains for a long time!) so have updated my list with the stuff that's now at his.

    Morning everyone!

    Couldn't get online yesterday to report my many UUs! Can't believe how quickly this thread moves.....

    Vo5 Volume Boost Elixir Shampoo and Conditioner - WBA and I have another set in the stash! However, I have moved on to Original Source White Pear and Avocado for a wee change.

    Pantene Clarifying Shampoo - WBA and have replaced it with the last one of these from my stash so will need to pick some more up soon.

    Olay Self Heating Exfoliant - WNBA unless it was on a ridiculous offer and still have another 2 in my stash. Does the job well enough but I think there are nicer products out there. Have to admit I've been using this on my face and upper arms in a bid to use it up quicker so have been cheating slightly. Have moved on to Olay Total Effects Radiance Cleanser now.

    Herbal Essences Beautiful Ends Intensive Conditioner - WNBA as there are far better masks on the market. Didn't feel it made any real difference to the condition of my hair and the lurid pink colour put me off a little bit too. Have moved on to Garnier Fructis Deep Fortifying Treatment which has been in my stash for ages so hope it's not gone off. No more in my stash so will need to buy some more soon.

    Sanctuary Moisture Boosting Mask - WBA at some point, my skin suffers from dry patches and this definitely seemed to make a difference. I have 2 No 7 Heavenly Hydration Masks in my stash which I need to use up first.

    Avene Extremely Gentle Cleanser (Sample) - WNBA, goodness knows where it came from but I've had it ages. I am going to make an effort to get some of my miniatures and sachets down so will be using up these random bits and bobs over the next few weeks.

    Origins Ginger Souffle Body Lotion (Sample) - WNBA, I really didn't like the smell of this at all.

    Hotel Shower Gels (x5) / Hotel Shampoos (x4) - Have managed to offload these onto the OH who isn't that fussed what he uses. It was either that or bin them so at least they are not getting wasted. I'm happy to use up the hotel soaps / body lotion we have in stash but the moral of the story is to stop taking these home! In future I'm going to leave them well alone unless I happen to be staying somewhere posh and they are Molton Brown samples of course!

    Hope everyone has a smashing day!
