    Boots seem to be on red alert for us lot - It seems that if i don't shop there and use my advantage card for 2 weeks they bombard me with e-mails and advantage card mailings offering a glorious amount of bonus points:mad::rotfl:

    :rotfl::rotfl: and I think Mr Martin MSE Lewis is in some sort of conspiracy with them :rotfl: :rotfl:

    I rarely get anything from Boots directly - I think I must shop there too much :o

    *sigh* I guess I'll have an IN next week - Will. (Try. To.) Resist. :rotfl:

    S&G was my January downfall with Boots - I still have 6 un-opened 'Bundle Packs' that they was selling - I swore i'd never buy anymore S&G after having 6 bundle packs, 4 big pink Christmas boxes and a Tote box from last year then Boots started the S&G 3 for 2 offer....:o:o:rotfl:

    You lot have had me in hysterics while I was catching up - but now I've forgotten half of the posts I intended to reply to!

    On topic - Yesterday I made the mistake of buying a 24 pack of disposable razors for £1....Litterally the worst thing ever, I tried in the shower last night but all it did was pull the hair and not cut it....Instead used my venus razor which has had the same head for the past god how many months but still does a brilliant job.... Not sure what to do with the rest of them now....

    Venus razors are fab :T

    Vic - lovely colour :D

    Sawan - agree about the peanut butter (and choc). Just a thought, but if you have no pets then you could try a sonic repeller. They plug in, so you could ensure your bedroom is a mouse-free zone.

    Very sad to hear about Elisabeth Sladen - not only did I not know she had cancer, I would never have guessed she was 63!

    Three uu's this week:

    Sanctuary Mela Rose and Pistachio BB 300 ml. WIBA? Yes, if on offer as normal price is quite expensive.

    Crabtree and Evelyn 0.5 ml Iris Eau de Toilette sample. WIBA? No. It did smell lovely but it wasn't a lasting smell IYKWIM.

    L'Occitane Fleur Cherie Hand Cream 30 ml. WIBA? Yes, love this. Hoping this will be a magazine freebie again.

    Hugs to everyone who is going through a sad/difficult time.

    Couple of UUs here:

    Tigi Bed Head Superstar (I think) shampoo has finally met it's end - WIBA? Yes I love these big pump bottles last so much longer and I like the products too - but this one wasn't available online when I bought my next lot so have gone for a different set which I'll start tomorrow.

    S&G greatest scrub of all. WIBA? Yes I like this, it's the 3rd one from my hat boxes last year (1 bought to use bits as gifts but didn't think it was a very good gift this product so used it too!) I alternate it with a face wash and find that works well. Now using my clinique freebie for a change but I would go back to the S&G one.

    Now that I'm in love with moisture surge I'm using the splutterings from my S&G catch a wrinkle in time cream on my elbows and arms at work today as they are horribly dry and I really want it finished!

    Wow! :drool: ... I mean :eek: :rotfl:
    So how should i post my stash list?:o:rotfl:Pictures of my overflowing storage spaces or a just list of goodies?

    yep - both or either - we do like a nose :p

    I'm in a foul mood today - next door are having some building work done and the noise is :mad::mad: - heavens knows what they are doing but it sounds like each brick is being hammered out one by one and then put through a grinder! I have the headache from hell and judging by the amount of scaffolding it's gonna go on for a fair while yet and they've already been at it a week. The noise is really setting my nerves on edge and I feel like I want to punch someone :eek:

    Completely irrational I know but I'm so tired I could cry :(

    Gonna try and have a proper early night tonight - except when I go to bed before OH he always wakes me up by clattering around (trying to be quiet :p) and I can never get back to sleep so it's fairly pointless *rollseyes*

    RANT OVER :o

    No real toiletries news - except that so far I'm not impressed with the James Brown Volume Boost Shampoo - my hair feels really greasy today. I washed it Sunday and will wash it tonight but it's usually not this greasy less than 48hrs after washing :( I've not done anything different or used any product on it and it was fine yesterday. :(
