    Will just quickly ask though;
    We have a just opened shampoo and the one hair and body wash. Do I get the boots hair offer now or wait for a couple of months? I know that when I bought the conditioner a while back it was 1/3rd off which is the same as 3for 2 so feel there ought to be another offer before we all need to buy shampoo again but don't really want to run out either. What should I do? When do you reckon the next offer will be on?

    Well we all know that the offers come round and round and round - but only you know how long it will take the 4 of you to get through what you are using.

    I've got a bottle of the BS Spiced Vanilla Showergel that until a few days ago was being used as shampoo, showergel and handwash and I used about half a bottle in 2 weeks - now I'm not using it for shampoo it will last a bit longer :p

    OH gets through a bottle of his vosene every 2 - 3 months. I have 2 bottles of mine in my stash now and probably won't need anymore until the autumn - so on that basis I would wait until next time - but thats 2 bottles just used by me - quarter that if 4 of you are sharing :D

    And, of course, it depends how big the bottles are :rotfl:

    End of Essay :rotfl:
  • Of course being so strong willed [STRIKE]i rushed to the Body Shop online offer of buy 1 get 2nd half price and 20% discount and 25% Quidco cashback and spent £45[/STRIKE] didn't even bother looking looking at the Body Shop offer posted in Grabbit!:rotfl:

    I would ...... quite literally ...... crawl over hot coals for anything from the Spiced Vanilla range (except the soap - I'm not a soap person :p) :D

    Can't believe i have only just discovered it - I must have picked up the shower gel during the January sale, I agree about soap too its one thing i never use, much prefer body gels and lotions [And lots of them!:D]:rotfl:

    I find soap a bit icky - it just sits there and all the dust settles on it and all the hair and it's just :eek:

    Especially in our house as little Tix is losing his fur and we find it everywhere :rotfl:
  • While you're all talking about the boob fairy (and the hip fairy and thigh fairy), have you heard Deirdre Flint's song about the boob fairy? Makes me laugh every time I hear it.

    My UU today was a perfume I've had on the go for a long time - Jasper Conran Woman. It was very nice, but I'm ready for a change as summer approaches.

    Glad to see that I'm not the only one visited by those darned elves and fairies - my worst one is the flabby upper arm bingo wing pixie :eek: Have to keep them covered up, as I am :o Still with all the body polishing and buttering they are lovely and smooth :D

    UU - BS Vitamin C facial polish. WIBA - definitely, but must use up other stuff first. Will be taking the empty container for the freebie Origins facewash - too good to miss.

    UU - Satsuma body polish. WIBA - definitely, I love this stuff. The bathroom smelled lovely after I had used both these products and I was a bit fruity too :rotfl:

    INS - It was a mistake going in to the BS for an Easter pressie for my DD. I met up with her for lunch. She lives in Liverpool now and had hired a car to come home and pick up the rest of her stuff.

    Well :whistle: I tried the coconut shimmer body butter. I love it - so had to take advantage of the buy 1 get 1 half price. She and I have 1 each now :D I also got her a lovely Easter egg.

    It was lovely to see her again - hopefully will see her tomorrow before she goes back. She is staying with her Dad this time.

    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 :(

    I've been there. Honestly you need to get out of the house for a few hours, go for coffee or something, it's the only way to escape it. There's nothing you can do about it. It's better to have neighbours who care enough to do home improvements than ones who don't care about maintenance. Usually the very noisy bits don't last for too many days. And the neighbours have to tolerate the nosie from your home if ever you are getting work done. But yes I can understand why you are in a mood over it.

    Right - time to get dressed - the Avon Lady has just texted to let me know she'll be here at half three - expect a short IN's list after :o

    My Avon lady called tonight too. I also got that ANEW skincare kit. Used it and I'm not that impressed. It's ok for the offer price but I wouldn't be interested at full price.

    Life is a coin, you can spend it anyway you wish, but you can only spend it once.
    Go as far as you can see, and when you get there you'll see further.
    Take time but don't waste time
