Wow celebrate, you are on a roll, well done with returning the Lloyds stuff, be brutal.

No I haven't had my tesco voucher, I haven't opened any of the things so Mr T will get the whole lot back if no voucher. Don't see how they can not though. When they came up with this idea you would have thought that it would have occured to someone that people would exploit it but still be within the rules.

morning guys feeling a bit better, managed to tidy the house up

i am soooooooooo cheesed off this morning:(:(:(:(

just heard that lloyds reduced their buy one get 2 free to 50% off on top of that this week and I MISSED IT!!!:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:
have returned an order i haven't received yet (sorry sneaked it in without telling you guys-oops) out of protest

loads more lloyds stuff being added to the return boxes as we speak:T:Tsure you'll all be pleased to hear that!

trudij great news about red! loads of hugs (but i'm scared of horses!)

tesco vouchers are through :T:T(got another £48 back on a £54 pound spend -was really a £51 pound spend as had some moc's as well) but price checker is still down if anyone wants to risk going could try or wait a day or two like me

2 more UUs!

Sensodyne Pronamel: WIBA? Yes - HG. Not cheap, though, so it's a special offer purchase. On dentist's orders.
Soap & Glory Heel Genius: WIBA? Maybe. It's pretty darn good, but like most things, not quite good enough for the balls of my toes, which seem to dry out like no man's business. Back to my nice tub of Nivea blue to sort that out (Nivea blue seems to be my HG for feet as it's just so good. The cheapness is nice, too!)

Thanks hun *hugs* I did try to tell him that he's doing this for totally the wrong reasons - he should tell his parents he's not happy about it, and they love him to want him to be happy - but no luck Stupid, stupid boy He'll realise one day. Just didn't want it to be too late!! Not that I'm biased or anything, of course...

I'm trying to focus on totally material things to distract myself. I'm so glad today's sunny, so just reminiscing about happier days gone by, and not thinking about the future at all.

I thought it was an absolute bargain too - but I stopped myself from stocking up in case I don't like them!!

Todays nails are Rimmel I love lasting finish fruities (the scented ones) in Cranberry Zest with the crackle. Though I've decided for bold and bright colours to no longer use the crackle. It just doesn't complement it very well. I tweeted nails inc that they should bring out a white-ish or silver-y one (like floral street) to put over darker colours - in theory I think it would look pretty good

So although they now just look very dull, the Cranberry Zest makes them smell nice

celebrate Hope you feel better soon!

Today's (early) NPI was G with the eye cream. Now I'm kicking myself for not buying. But I still have 1/2 - 2/3 of my EL Advanced Eye Repair. And you need such a tiny amount, I couldn't warrant buying it

Love that colour VALM

Great news that Red should be home soon trudij :T

Lemon Tree: Eyeliners - I love UD liners obviously (on offer at lookfantastic at the moment-but obviously higher prices), Bourjois duochrome pencil liners (342 at the moment in B**ts), No7 metallic liners seem quite nice (I only have the gold in that - £5 voucher), Avon In-A-Blink Liner/Shadow double ended pencil.

Hope he comes to his senses soon Stupid, stupid men!

How did I not know that there was such a thing as scented nail polishes??!!!! Might have to go and investigate...:rotfl:If you find the crackle polish looks a bit dull, trying using a clear top coat, I've found it seems to make the stronger colours stand out a bit more. A silvery crackle would be lovely! I'm not so keen on the new Barry M crackles - white, and rather insipid pale pink and blue. I do really want that purple nails inc crackle though! :rotfl:I keep thinking about it! :rotfl:

Great news about Red, trudij, can't wait to see a piccy of the new foal when it arrives!

Oh, used up an Impulse Goddess body spray at work so have put a new Into Glamour one in my bag -would definitely buy again - I love most of the Impulse sprays.

A couple of uu for me today, more of my C&E La source minis, shampoo and conditioner this time, think I still have 2 of each left but will save them for camping trips.

3 in's aswell, bought FCUK minis on 3 for 2 using ac points, got pure body wash, body lotion and body spray, already have the scrub. Lovely smell, natural and reminds me of nettle tea.

Had an e-mail from tesco re my big shop, apparently they were £4.42 cheaper so I didn't get a voucher, still waiting on the others. Can't see me doing this again, too stressful.

hi all

Well done celebrate on all your Lloyd's returns and thanks for the update on Mr. T.

Well I got my LYB card yesterday and I will not get my birthday voucher this month as it will take too long to process my registration. So I will recieve it next month which may be better as the mothers day gifts could be reduced by then.

Could anyone tell me if the BS foot scrub or Liz Earle foot scrub is any good or if anyone uses one they really like? My feet need something stronger than a general body scrub and the LE one and BS one seem to get good reviews.
Also, what body butters do people like as I getting to the end of mine but don't know which one to buy next? TIA:)

You can just take your LYB card into BS and they will knock £5 off for you there and then, you don't need to wait, just make sure you write your DOB on the card, they did this for me without any problem.

On the subject of Body butters, superdrug's own brand are lovely, I think they are called naturals, and are £3.87 ish, as good as BS but 1/3 of the price. HTH

Great news about Red coming home soon.

Loving the nail pics ladies - note to self must put polish on more often.

Glad your feeling better Celebrate and a :T for your returns.

I have three IN's to report. Popped into b**ts for the 3 for 2 offer and to use my £5 off voucher too. Needed some more balanced results night cream as I am over half way through my only jar and also bought 2 P & P serums as I am spluttering through a GWP 5ml one and then I have none left. So cost was £34 for all of this and not unnecessary spends at all. This is most I have spent on toiletries since my holiday in November.

I had a wee look in Sally as well to see what they had on offer but walked out as the prices were :eek::eek:

Well I plan on having a wee pamper night tonight and will be using the following.

Elle Macpherson Release the Day Bath Soak
Decleor Clay Mask
Clinique 7 day scrub cream
Ultimaii eye Mask
Fake Bake Body Polish
Fake Bake Body Lotion
Elle Macpherson Foot Butter



Anyway - have a lovely weekend all

Mingle

Just a quick update.

UU: Toothpaste: I think it was Macleans or something? WIBA: Probably- wasn't too strong, but toothpaste is toothpaste!
Lidl cleanser: WIBA - yes, smells nice and did the job but the pump was a bit irritating.

Spluttering: Planet Spa olive oil deep hair conditioner. I have one application left. Hurry up and finish!

I'm currently typing with a planet spa thermal face mask on, planet spa deep conditioner in, and my feet have been soaked, pumiced, scrubbed with Avon foot spa watermelon scrub. I now have planet spa volcano paraffin hand and foot treatment on my feet which are also wrapped in clingfilm with a pair of fluffy socks over the top! Now about to the do the same with my hands!

Enjoy your saturday
