    Everyone's quiet tonight - does everyone but me have a life :( :rotfl::rotfl:

    Just out of my bath and have a couple more UU's to add to the pile :D

    Aveda Smooth Infusions Shampoo (sample) and Conditioner (sample): WIBA? If I could afford too *sigh* I really liked the way these made my hair feel and didn't need to use too much at a time. Think I maybe adding these to the 'pretty please can I' gift list :D

    I've also got a 10ml sample size of the Aveda Smooth Infusions Style-Prep Smoother which I won't use. If anyone wants it PM me your addy and I'll pop it in the post for you :D Might as well go to someone who will appreciate it ;)

    Hope you're all out having fun - have some for me :p

    I should really be doing some work but I've just been taking a stroll round Superdrug's website, deciding how to maximise my tiny windfall. I know what I don't need - body lotion, body spray, shower gel, eye gel, anti-perspirant, shampoo, perfume, moisturiser or hand/foot cream - but anything else is fair game...

    Leave in conditioner? Rinse out conditioner? Body polish? Moisturising soap? Body butter? Hand wash? What to choose...?

    When I was there today one of the Body Butters (It's bugging me but I can't remember which one) is on offer at 2 for £3.99 - I think I'm gonna go for that and give the extra to my Mum :D

    Thanks BTW for the heads up on the voucher - I was going to wait until tomorrow to get my dye - and probably would have bought the handcream and lipbalm anyway - but when I saw your earlier post I decided not to wait incase it was a 1-day offer :D

    ETA: It's the I Love .... Strawberry & Milkshake / Raspberry & Blackberry 200ml Body Butters -and it's 2 for £2.99 :T Think I'll add another handcream to go over the £3 spend - hope the offer is still going on Tuesday :p

    Is 'I Love' a Superdrug own brand? I've tried to avoid toiletries aisles, so am not aware of it. The £3 applies to Superdrug own brand products only. Reading the small print it's valid from Monday until Sunday April 10th

    I'm here! Very little life :p Went to a quiz night at my old secondary school (my niece currently attends). They're raising money for a production, so good cause. We didn't come last luckily, but only a few from the bottom :p My excuse is the questions were too old for me. Knew the history stuff. But my knowledge of 60s & 70s songs is seriously limited!

    Already in bed, wanting to open goody bags from yesterday, but no energy to :s

    Thinking about perfumes. If I next use my half full Anna Sui Secret Wish Magic Romance, it'll be a UU. But I do really like it, and I think it might be discontinued. Actually, will go with Emporio Armani Elle, if I can find it. That's older. And still available. Sorry guys, just thinking/typing out loud :)

    sorry guys feel like i've deserted you for the tesco thread, man its all been happening over there!!!

    To asset, mariella and anyone else who got vouchers well done,

    pudsey B you made me laugh, i initially thought £26 pounds for a £50 spend thats no good! mine are usually around the same amount, well done!

    remember tesco vouchers have been capped at £20 now so don't go overboard and calculate before hand what DTD to expect

    Givenchy Very Irresistible EDP 50ml(?) - WIBA? Yes! This is my favourite perfume, my HG of them I guess :) I have an open one in the car and a full one in stash. Been using it daily, but think I'll use a different one daily to finish some other ones, had some for 10 years! I do love being able to choose whichever one I want to use from my stash though :D

    My favourite perfume of all time!!!!!!!!!!!:T:T:T
    Unfortunately NOT one of my stash of 97 collected from lloyds!:(:(
