    I'm trying to type out my list but I look at the Excel file so far & freak out!

    Crazy stories today guys. I'm very glad I'm not in the health profession!

    I've been trying out a Clinique antioxidant night cream (from a gwp), but I think its giving me a rash on my cheeks. Only using my EL advanced night repair tonight and going to see if I still wake up with the desire to itch half my face off :eek:

    Might have an in of night cream if it is that causing problems. And it is 342 at the moment in B**ts :o

    Sure I must have missed something but can't remember what.

    No UU's or IN's, just waiting on the splutterers finally chucking it.

    Clingfilm is a good idea, I've seen it recommended for using with a hair mask as well, it keeps the heat in helping the product to work I think but it's a bit awkward, you couldn't walk around with it on unless you wore the socks over it to keep it in place. No need to fuss about cotton socks, any socks will do, they might just be cotton anyway.

    A friend's son had terrible eczema breakouts on his feet as a young boy, my friend creamed his feet and wrapped them in clingfilm overnight and they were always fine in the morning.

    I always put on a plastic shower cap when applying leave in for a while then wash out conditioners and masks. It truly does make the product more effective.

    yes thats right, we call it "WET WRAPPING" the dermatologists use it alot for severe eczema especially hands and feet.

    right thats me off to bed , night all!

    Happy birthday to the birthday girlies!
    Didn't manage to have a full on pamper session tonight, had to ring my sister as my Dad started his radiotherapy sessions on Monday so was seeing how they're getting along.
    Will do toes tomorrow before I do the ironing. I can stand and do that barefoot whilst it dries.
    Shall moisturise tonight before bed :D

    Great stash ACCAgirl! You have some fab products to use!

    Few UU this evening:

    Avon strawberry bauble bubble bath
    strawberries & cream bath crystals
    boots tea tree & witch hazel peel off face mask
    gok body butter
    irish spring flavour speed stick deodrant

    Not that fussed about any of them really except the Gok body butter which I love. Don't really have baths often and am now down to two bottles which is great as I don't feel the need to have a bath just to use up bubble bath! Decided that I quite like stick deodrants too, I don't kill myself with the fumes from aerosol ones and I don't get all sticky from using roll ons!

    Gonna make a milkshake now to 'use up' some bananas :D and maybe some chocolate powder :D:D
    I want a perfect body, I want a perfect soul, I want you to notice when I'm not around[/SIZE][/FONT][/B]

    Well I had my pamper night (though rudely interrupted twice by dp and ds needing the loo!!)

    Decided to have an Avon fiesta - so Thermal face cleanser, soft and sensual shower cream and avon's 2 in 1 shampoo. Then soft and sensual dry body spray on body and arms and soft and sensual lotion on legs (because the spray stings on shaved legs!!!!!!!!!!) :eek:

    Finished off with a squirt of celebre body spray, then used soft and sensual warming hand buffer on hands and sole support on feet (which was then thrown away cos its gone all runny and half ended up on the floor!!!) :mad:

    I'm now waiting for my nails to dry - dp couldnt understand why its takes so long till I told him there's 4 coats on! BarryM's top and bottom coat and 2 coats of Maybelline 5 day nail colour in cool blues :cool:

    Off for my pamper night soon, seeing as I was too tired last night. That way I'll be all fresh and beautiful for my birthday tomorrow. :D Meeting a friend for an early lunch, so will be leaving soon after dropping my son off at school.

    Not expecting any toiletries INs though - but somebody had better have bought me a :bdaycake:!!!
    Happy Birthday PudseyDB :j. Hope you got some nice pressies and enjoy your day!
