I really like the Avon Planet Spa, I think its sugar scrub (at work so can't check). The Planet Spa stuff is usually on offer too. Maybe EH could let you know how much it is.

Is it the one in a bottle rather than a tube? If so it's the brown sugar scrub, and it smells gorgeous! It's not in the next book, and I have the slightly uncomfortable feeling that it MIGHT be discontinued.....they do however have another Planet Spa scrub available now which is a Dead Sea Minerals one - that is selling for £3.50 next time, with a "Usual price" showing at £5....having said that, with most Avon stuff the only time they are on full price is if there is either a special offer running (ie buy 3 for £6 is the usual Planet Spa one) or if there has just BEEN a special offer running!

Possibly a board nail painting party tonight? And with our aim to post more pics, pics of done nails as evidence or at least colour chosen?

Not very good at posting pics of my own hands but here's a swatch of my favourite red which I've now applied.

Have shopped in my stash for a new pot of PCMC ready for tomorrow too.

Just received a very nice, personal email thank you from Ailsa re the boxes, saying it had been received, together with the promised discount code.

Nice touch!

You get some Cadbury products over there that we don't have too, don't you!

As for the choc, thanks for the offer! I'm actually Irish (just been working in London for quite a while) and used to remember laughing at all my north american relatives who would go crazy and stock up on all the varieties you could only get in Ireland - and now it's me doing virtually the same! My trip back to the parents at Easter is going to be messy

Oooh, and now I have a massive craving for Top Deck :rotfl:Daydreaming about cadburys is not productive!

We have all varieties of Cadburys chocolate here, to be purchased alongside the other Irish favourites, Tayto crisps and Barrys Tea:) I don't really like Walkers crisps or dark chocolate/Green and Blacks probably because I grew up with Taytos and Cadburys:EasterBun

If only they still were good value (or maybe not!). That's how I got hooked on QVC because the TSV's used to be made up of a kit of full sized products for the price of one (the last Elemis one at Xmas is an instance of this - for the price of a pot of PCMC we were offered 4 extra products in the kit for free). However, since the recession the TSV's had become mean and were filled with travel sizes so that "ml for ml" (to spout one of their phrases) the value was rubbish.

Thankfully I've never been addicted to QVC but that's really strange because the recession has made the offers and the gifts with purchase better than ever from most brands.
