    Good Morning Lovely Ladies!

    Few UUs to report after the weekend....

    Kiehls Gentle Foaming Cleanser (miniature) - WNBA as it didn't foam although that could be down to the age of it if I'm honest. Really didn't think it was anything special though. Have moved onto one of my many miniature No 7 Soft and Soothed Cleansers.

    Molton Brown Seamoss Bath Salts - a gift from my OH and I have another in my stash. Probably WNBA as they have quite a distinct almost masculine smell and I prefer sweeter smelling bath products. Having said that, they do make my skin very soft and the water a beautiful shade of aquamarine.

    Gillette Sensitive Shaving Foam - WBA but I'm really not fussy when it comes to shaving foam. I tend to buy men's products purely because they are usually cheaper and do the job just as well. Have moved onto a Gillette Moisturising Shaving Foam now which is the last in my stash.

    Sanex Dermo Protection Shower Gel - WNBA as although it does the job well enough there are far nicer smelling shower gels out there which I can't wait to get my hands on. Have moved onto Sanex Dermo Moisturising Shower Gel as I have 2 of those in the stash and I am being very liberal with applying it.

    Clarins Eau Dynamisante Body Lotion - WBA, love the smell of this and although it had separated a little through age it still absorbed well and I could still smell it on my skin at the end of the day. Have another half used one in my stash but I have moved onto the cheapy hotel body lotions and other random odds and ends to get them used up first.

    Yves St Laurent Cinema Perfume - WNBA as although it was nice enough, I found it a little too strong for me. Am forcing myself to cut down on the number of perfumes I have by using one at a time instead of my usual routine of a different splash of what I fancy each morning. Some of my bottles have been opened for years and I'm sure they are none the better for it. I would love to be in the position of getting down to a few favourites.

    Hope everyone has a lovely day today!

    Good luck for today thevicster.

    A uu for me today, Dirty Works hand cream:j, this lasted FOREVER, did the job but as I've said before with this range the smell doesn't do it for me. Moved onto an already opened Johnsons 24hr hand cream. Will have a few more uu's this week then am onto full bottles so nothing for a while then.

    A little in too, Olay wake up wonder sample just dropped in the letterbox this morning, don't remember asking for this one.

    Loved your 'stash table' sofababe!

    Have to confess, my pics are only part of my stash...I set out to count my body butters then it all looked so pretty I decided to sort it out into brand stashes - i.e. all BS or S&G together - then it looked sooo prettttty I just had to take a pic - and now I can gaze at it all from work :rotfl:.

    I didn't do my bathroom cabinet (4 shelves) or the 'deep stash' - drawer under the bed. And I won't even mention the gift drawer or the 'round the bath' stash :rotfl:

    The Glamour mag is still staring at me with the yellow moisturiser...someone please tell me I don't need it....
    Less stuff, more life, love, laughter and cats!
    Even if I'm on the shopping threads, it doesn't mean I'm buying! Sometimes it's good to just look and then hit the CLOSE button!

    Just thought Id pop in - only been away from here 2 days and its already gone on 10 pages! Finally caught back up again now :p

    My order from halfpriceperfumes finally arrived on Saturday, have to admit I was somewhat disappointed with it all - the maxfactor lipgloss is good in the sense that it actually stays on more than 5 mins but it feels SOOOO dry on its horrible so I spend the entire day licking my lips trying to make it not feel so bad - also when you do that it begins to flake and you end up with bits all over your teeth...not a look I was going for. Can't comment on the free lipstick as I really never use the stuff - just looks stupid on me. The free cowshed lipgloss is TERRIBLE, firstly it feels like there is nothing at all actually in the tube so you have to squeeze with all your might, then its so runny inside it all comes squirting out, end up having the opposite problem to the Maxfactor stuff and it just basically runs off my lips...again not a good look, and on top of that it smells horrible (same as the body lotion Ive got, rose and geranium - YUK)

    Somewhat dissapointed with them all so I can see them just sitting at the bottom of my bag never being used again. All in all Saturday was filled with dissapointment - went to watch the rugby down the local, after England lost thier game we had hopes of Wales actually winning the championship but alas we went from fighting for 1st to finishing 4th - what a disaster! To top it all off the local didnt do their usual free curry and chips at half time, ended up coming home about 10, going to bed as I had a migrane and OH cooking me pizza at about midnight...

    Have to say this weeks not getting any better, Sunday night I went to bed at 12, woke up at 3 and just could not get back to sleep, ended up just lying there the rest of the night and then had uni all day Monday! Had a careers interview which basically told me how stupid I am - the bloke basically said Im f***ed because I should have sorted all this out in my second year, not 4 weeks before I finish uni, In a catch 22 situation now, Cant do anything to help me get a job because I can't afford it, Cant get a job because I don't have the experience....
    Said I basically need to do voluntary work - of course that won't pay my bills will it? Said I should look at doing an MA in social work, but again I need to do the voluntary work first, even though I explained I could NEVER afford to do an MA anyway.... Really really frustrates me when everyone assumes just because Im a student I have mummy and daddy there to support me and that I can go back home etc - When in reality I live here, I have my own bleeding flat etc...

    Coming down with some bug now which is typical as Ive got to finish my dissertation this week too when all I want to do is sleep......

    Good luck the vicster .

    Juliebunny you don't need it, walk away. :D

    In the bath last night i noticed Ds2's Tesco Cherry 2 in 1 shampoo was empty so that's UU. I also finished the one packet of wilko's cotton buds this morning so they're UU too. My S&G Righteous butter has one more use i reckon and that'll be gone. :(
