    Was out from 7 am to 9pm yesterday, so too shattered to do the Clairol Foam - have just done it now.

    Regarding supposed ease of application, sorry, but Clairol are having you on in my experience.

    If you are one of those people who do make a mess no matter how hard they try, then it's just as messy as the colours in the pound shop. Mine was messier actually - the foam applicator gave a huge splutter as I squeezed it and the stuff went everywhere.

    At least the 25 minutes development time passed quickly, as I spent it cleaning up the mess in the bathroom.

    I had exacly the same experience with this dye, truely awful application! I used the Loreal Sublime Mousse one this week, much much better, and bottle of conditioner not a sachet.

    :( hmm, I've got 2 free vouchers to try it, can I ask where you got it as I've not seen it in store, although TBH not looked for it very hard as trying to stay out those kind of shops! lol :D
    Life is a coin, you can spend it anyway you wish, but you can only spend it once.
    Go as far as you can see, and when you get there you'll see further.
    Take time but don't waste time

    I got mine in Tesco - no problems handing over the voucer at all.

    I found it quite runny when I used it - but i like the colour, and its not the worst stuff Ive ever used...

    Mmmmm. I must 'fess up to spending £36 on 8 items from BS - 2 Mothers Day gift sets of Vit E items which I use.
    So not a treat. Just stocking up on items that are a bargain.
    Having said that, I do tend to stash these items so I have to add them to my siggy...
    Question: is it 2 ins (because I bought 2 sets) or 8 ins (because there are 4 items in each set)?
    I know which one I'd like it to be but suspect it's the other!!

    Some uu's to report. A bottle of shampoo. I'd been using this since the end of September to help with dandruff and it lasted me six months, finishing off the bottle I was halfway through so have 14 left, a bubble bath, which was courtesy of my two year old niece last weekend so now have 28 left and finally a little sample of perfume. I was using this at the weekends as I felt it was a bit too heavy to wear to work and despite being a tiny bottle has lasted what seems like forever. As i was using this alongisde another perfume I still have 43 left.
    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

  • Mmmmm I've been pretty bad this month, I see things I want and buy them, instead of resisting, a shocking 13 INs this weekend:eek:

    I got:
    Pink Cow Ginger bread Bath and Shower Gel, smells lush!
    http://www.boots.com/en/Pink-Cow-bath-shower-gel-ginger-bread-500ml_1106337/ Cost me 133 pts

    Then:
    http://www.boots.com/en/Boots-Aqua-Balance-Skin-Perfecting-Cleansing-Gel_1116011/
    http://www.boots.com/en/No7-Essential-Moisture-Night-Cream-50ml_15608/
    http://www.boots.com/en/Soap-Glory-Glow-Job-Daily-Radiance-Moisture-Lotion-75ml_641387/
    The 3 cost me £9.50

    And...
    Bodyshop Moringa Shower Gel
    Bodyshop Strawberry shower gel
    Vitamin E bodybutter sample, not that I needed anymore but the assistant was lovely and complemented me on my crackled nails!
    Used my £5 birthday gift, so only cost me £1

    And then I bought the Barry M black crackle paint and a turquoise nail varnish for £5

    And finally, I went for the 4 M&S bodybutters at £7.68

    I think I should be strapped to the naughty step :rotfl:
