    Welcome xoxo and Silly Girl! Awesome S&G stash! Love it!

    Few UU/chuck aways:

    Pantene smooth and sleek mousse - definitely buy again, it's great and totally not sticky. Onto an Umberto Gianni one now and not keen, leaves my hair a bit sticky. Will give it a couple more goes and if it doesn't improve, will sell it on ebay/give to the charity shop and get another PAntene one. Anyone have any mousse recommendations? I use it before I blow dry.

    Chuck aways:

    W7 pink glitter nail polish - an amazing glittery hot pink colour but really needs to be put on thick to get it really glittery and takes ages to dry (evil to get off too) so sadly had to go.

    e.l.f brown mascara - it was so dried up I couldn't get the brush out of the tube!

    I finally UU the S&G Righteous butter :j. I WBA because it smells lush and is lovely and thick. I've also UU another razor.

    A couple of In's, another pack of razors and a tube of toothpaste. Both of these were needed so no naughty step for me.:D

    We've all had some kind of wierd stomach & flu bug mixed together so there's been lots of baths over the last few days.

    Sorry to hear you've all been poorly Hollyh - hope you're on the mend now? Oh, and Kaz - I forgot to say how gorgeous that cushion is - stunning, clever you! :T

    As for the issue with the eBay moisturising socks - yes, the listing is clear enough, but equally I can understand why nobody would imagine for a second that it was actually for a single sock, I mean why would you?! I presume that the seller makes extra on the postage so it is in her interest to get people to buy the second sock individually. Extremely cheeky if so.

    springsmile.gif hurray for the fab weather!

    hope you're having a lovely weekend,

    welcome Silly_Girl, and XOXO - :wave: you will have a lot of fun on this thread, XOXO that is truly a magnificent haul you have!

    Kaz fab cushion, looks very expensive and designery

    Mingle - that ebay seller really is clearly a real chancer :rotfl:

    grouphug.gif to those that need them

    I have one uu and one chuck out to declare: dumped - the truly vile smelling cowshed moisturiser that was free with Marie Claire, I had planned to use it as a foot cream but couldn't even bear it for that

    uu Lancome Hydra Zen - a 15ml gwp., this is a really gorgeous cream, it glides on to the skin and sinks in really well leaving a lovely glow - if it wasn't for the fact that I have so many facial moisturisers to get through I would buy this again.

    Off now for a pampering session, but no more uu's in sight bath.gif

    have a great day girlies, xx

    I agree with that too.


    See I don't think INs count if they are a necessity. If the other products you have don't agree with you there's no point struggling on with them.

    (snipped), I agree with this totally, life's too short!

    I need to fess up to buying some bits from LUsh today - my mother's day present - even though I'm not a mother...
    I'll have about 12 items arriving if I count the individual items in the gift box...
    no regrest just yet but i might be disappointed with myself when it arrives
    I don't need any of it.

    Realises that it's actually 12.33am and not 11.33pm so scuttles up to bed in shame.

    oooh I'm not a violent person, but I could slap you!!!! :mad: - For the panic you just gave me when I thought "it's mother's day TODAY????? but I thought it was next week - OMG I've forgotten to post Mum's card!!!!!" :eek::eek::eek:

    Lovely Becky - where are you off to? /QUOTE]

    Thanks Fiasco55, I am going to Chamonix in France which is my favourite ski resort.

    I cannot believe how quick today is going now when the clock has changed.

    Enjoy your Sunday
    No toiletries challenge, started 18/1/2010 - Putting £1 in my savings jar for every item that I use up. Pot 1 to 4 = £261. Pot 5=£23
    Boots points:£39.21. Extra money in 2012:£674.59. In 2013 £603.48. 2014: £85. 2015: £0 :j
  • I used the Nice 'n Easy voucher to get the freebie hair dye and heard on here or on grabbit that as it's on offer in Boots (down to £4.99 from £6.99) the till takes the £2 difference off another item that you buy. Sooooo, bought an Extracts Coconut Body Butter. I've been fancying some coconut smelling toiletries for the summer and so I'm quite pleased to get a 200 ml bb for £3 something.

    This moring I've uu a 50 ml BS Japanese Cherry Blossom Body Butter so effectively one BB in and one out.
