    One IN

    Well I finally managed to buy that mag today for the take the day off freebie. Really like this and last month UU the last one I had. Been on the lookout for this all week but all the mags I found either had the lip gloss or mascara or nothing as it had been pinched!! I only want the eye cream now for my travels....The hunt continues...

  • I might be up for a pamper session as my nails need redoing... can't decide what colour to go for though!

    In other news, I went into town this afternoon to post my Give and Make Up parcel (finally), got to the Post Office and found out they've changed the opening hours so it closes at one not five on Saturdays now :( Oh well, I'll just have to try and go in my lunch break on Monday. No UUs but I did start the S&G Hair Supply.

    I'm *still* dithering about the S&G bundle on the Boots website, as looking at it properly there are quite a few things in that I'd use and I could always eBay the rest or it could go in birthday presents. I think what I might do is see how my big important dream job-related meeting on Wednesday goes and if it's successful and it's still in stock treat myself (which I hope means I've now jinxed it to not be there on Wednesday night...)

    I saw 50/75ml tins of Hello Kitty cherry and strawberry body butter in Poundland, price obvious!

    The tins are very cute - in fact just the sort of tin my grand-daughter would like for her little bits and bobs if Nanny (moi) used up the body butter first .... does that sound convincing? :D :rotfl:

    Although I'm not sure if I want to smell like sweets!
    I'll have to pop in to just have a nose at them...
    Which clinique was this? just asking as I think I have had a reaction to this too? cheers.

    Not to worry about the ins, as they are bargains they almost dont count!
    It's the super rescue anti-oxidant night moisturiser. I'm sure it's that as since I've stopped using it I've been ok. Unless it was the combination of my EL night serum and that. I might try it by itself next week - not feeling brave enough at the moment. Didn't get on with their toner 2 for dry skin either - it was so strong it stung!
    They were bargains weren't they! I'm not encouraging anyone btw. Just saying that it's a really good deal. The Tess Daly day cream (with spf I think) was also on offer. But as my Daywear Plus has still got some and I have a Daywear in stock I didn't want to add even more to my stash.

    I try to focus on the end result! The weather in London has been gorgeous today I have to say. My uncle & aunt iin Edinburgh are saying it's been snowing - talk about world's apart!!

    mineallmine pamper session sounds good to me. Waiting for my chance to sneak in to the bathroom to take as loooong as I want :D

    Also forgot to say I have another few splutterers to add to my ever lasting list of splutterers. Elemis Cleanser and Toner which I really like and a sure spray deodorant. Think I might get another week out of the Elemis products but the spray maybe one or two more days.

    I have 2 ins from today, not bought though :D. An exfolitor and a gradual tanner. Freebie given to me when I booked my spray tan. I'm having it done on the 26th April. I'll look lovely for the wedding. Do you think that I should buy a hat? They're sure to invite me as they're doing it on my birthday :D.
    Drain STILL blocked. I spent hours emptying it with a bucket _pale_ and pouring the waste down my neighbours drain. I even got into the drain itself which was not very nice and tried to get my hand in but couldn't reach as the hole's too small for me (I'm not fat but I'm long!). Realy want a pampering bath tonight so will have to do that and leave the water again. Desperate for the loo too so that's going to have to sit. We have family coming round for dinner tomorrow so I'll have to remember to go around before they come and flush all the loos before they think I'm a minger :eek:.
    I don't want to add any more water to the drain at the mo as I've poured 5 litres of brick acid down there to try and break up whatever it is. Hopefully that can sit and brew away overnight and will then clear it. If that doesn'tdo the trick, I'll have to call out the water board on Monday as it's actually past my boundary and is in the main bit connecting to the sewer. I can't believe the stuff I was pulling out though, I mean, who puts wipes down their loo? And why are they coming up and blocking my drain :(.
    I'll have to not do any washing until it's clear because otherwise, I'm going to end up with raw sewerage all over my front garden. Rats.
    I had so much I wanted to do this weekend and now I'm aching like a beast and the house is still a mess.

    OK, off to do some pampering.

    Has anyone ever used a clip in fringe? I really want to try it! Would be a lot less effort than actually having one cut in!
