I think they mean Anne Summers type stuff, rather than a bit of lace or silk.

MorrisonsEmployee - welcome - get your list out for the girls
we do like a nosy at the stash
Just a thought - with our sparkly new facebook swapsies group, do we have to declare them as naughty-steppable ins? technically we're not buying new toiletries, as swapping we're helping each other out and not actually increasing the stashes... what does everyone else think? Or should there be a 'naughty step lite' for new but free stuff?

Sawan - could you tell your parents that Telemarketers have got hold of your number and keeping bugging you rather than a nasty crazy stalker? Then you could change your number without worrying them too much?
I hope you get your mouse problem sorted - if you lived near me I could lend you our Tix for the weekend - he loves catching the mice when we vist my mum(she has stables and lots of mice living in the hay and straw)
Trudji - definately take the 'playing-hard-to-get' route. He may come back (if you want him back) but make him work for it
I've just got myself a voucher for a free open day at SK:N - you get a goody bag and a free Laser Hair Removal patch test - I'm thinking of saving up to get my chin done and will need a patch test anyway so the goody bag is a bonusIt's next Thursday so I'll let you know how it goes.
Two UU's for me:
S&G Hand Food:WIBA? Yes - love this stuff - not greasy on my hands and drys well
SD Essential Hand & Nail Cream: WIBA? Not for me - very greasy and never absorbed properly so came off on everything I touched. Was great on the dogs paws though and she didn't try and lick it off either :rotfl:
I now have NO hand cream :eek: but I think there is a half used tube in DD's room so will search that out later
Going for a quick mooch on the boards then into town - post office again as I got there yesterday just as it was closing *facepalm* and then Tesco - food only0 -
Wish I'd known about the Bra appeal two weeks ago - I've just given a load of mine & DD's to the Dogs Home
I would expect they end up in the same place anyway as I know all their donated clothes go to a sorting unit in West Brom too and they get paid by the kilo - so at least I didn't just chuck 'em. Will remember for next time0 -
Keep an eye out on groupon Sarah A, I think they must do a deal on laser hair removal atleast 2 or 3 times a week! Its usually like, 1 large, 2 medium or 4 small areas =]

You mean they don't use them for the dogs?:eek:But when I went online to look up what she was talking about, I saw this OMG - I so want them (if they're lovely matte type ones like the silver I have - not glitter ones)
Ooooh they're so prettyyyyyyyyyyyy!!:j0 -
I am not tempting anybody, and if I wasn't working I would [STRIKE]run straight there[/STRIKE] carry on doing what I was doing

I'm getting flashbacks to the Father Ted episode with Pat Mustard the womanising milkman and various Craggy Island housewives's shocked response when Dougal turns up instead!
No OUTs or INs for me at the moment but I'm definitely learning the meaning of the PRCP - I'm currently working my way through a bottle of Body Shop Sweet Lemon shower gel and it's definitely not as nice as I remember. Unsurprising considered I opened it almost a year ago :eek: but I'm still disappointed..."A mind needs books as a sword needs a whetstone, if it is to keep its edge." - Tyrion LannisterMarried my best friend 1st November 2014Loose = the opposite of tight (eg "These trousers feel a little loose")Lose = the opposite of find/gain (eg "I'm going to lose weight this year")0 -
I have been busy popping in and out reading when I can so hugs to all those that need them!
Sawan mice love peanut butter! I had a couple of uninvited guests a couple of years ago and used peanut butter and it worked a treat!
Am loving all the nail varnish, I am currently wearing dark red with the No17 gold crackle over it and have had lots of comments at work on it.
A UU to report Avon Botanicals perfume WIBA dont think its available but I got it for 2 quid in the sale and I have to say its been ok for work. I do have an in to report a bottle of Avon Spotlight which I got off ebay as it was cheaper. I love it and am tempted to get some more as I think its being discontinued :-(
Other than that I have been really good this month but am ploughing my way through my stash. I used the flakeaway on my legs at the weekend and it does leave quite an oily residue in the shower but I shall perservere with it!0 -

Just popping back in. had a very unproductive afternoon, don't know where the time went nor what Ive been doing!
Applied for a job with the AA - call centre work and weekend working required (BOOO) is it just me or does there seem to be so few jobs avaliable these days that don't require weekend work? Certainly don't want to be working weekends but I suppose if needs must for a while - at least the AA (IMHO) are a lot more ethical and the salary is about 2-3k higher than the last one I applied for...
Also sent of a CV to a company who deal with telesales recruitment for large companies like SKY etc, a friend used to work for them and she gave me thier details, figured it was worth a shot.
Maybe its just me being incredibly unimaginative in places to look but recently there has been NO jobs advertised. The job centre website for example reckons there is over 100 jobs in my area. Over half I cant do simply because I cant drive and they say its essential or Im just not qualified, 1/4 are lousy commision only jobs and the remaining 25 jobs or so Ive applied for them all!
Maybe think about phoning my local Tesco tomorrow to see if they have any vacancies but not holding my breath....Ive asked my dad to ask around what's happening about Morrisons - they are building a new store nearish to me and its *meant* to be opening in a few months but they still havent started recruiting. Seeing as working there seems to run in the family maybe Ill stand a chance?
Oh my days I found out something almost too perfect!
We've been going to the same Indian takeaway for the last 3 years, its amazing food for a ridiculously low price - we used to be regulars to the point the guy who owned the place would talk to us whenever he saw us out in town etc. Well last year sometime they set up a website, and not a very good one, not even a proper domain, OH emailed him saying he would like to do a new one for him but he never heard anything back - we've not been so much these days since we moved (used to be once a week, nowdays every few months) but anyway the guy has just emailed OH saying he would very much like him to re-do the website and could they meet to discuss it!!!
Tis brilliant so not only may OH have a new client we could be on our way to free curries
-
Whilst we're on about clients - technically not his personally in this case (his employers clients) well a heads up to everyone, but my OH has just designed the new sportswear range of Peacocks coming out in 2012MFW 2020 #111 Offset Balance £69,394.80/ £69,595.11
