OUT - Boots Extract Mango Body Butter - WIBA? No. Got this as part of a set for Xmas. Love the smell, but it always had a weird plasticy texture and I've not used it for few weeks and went to use it this morning and it now feels like PlayDoh! so in the bin it goes.x

Oh I really like the texture of these - mind you haven't had one that's turned into play doh yet.

xoxo I agree with you re the spiced vanilla. I think MrM used mine up that I bought in the sales.

:UU 75ml L'Occitane Almond Shower Oil WIBA? Yes - I love the smell and the moisturisation. (Not for a while though.)

This is a fave of mine and MrM's as well although I'm out of it at the mo - had quite a few bottles from a TSV AD some time back.

It was £1.19 in Superdrug when I got some on Monday - seems to be instore only not online

I was in Superdrug today and it wasn't on offer. Did see their own brand dry shampoo and was wondering if anyone has tried this?

No UUs for me since my last posting however I have one IN - a bottle of L'Oreal eye make up remover. Thank you so much for recommending this ladies. Whilst I probably have a week's worth left in the bottle I was in Sainsbury's at weekend and it's cheapest there at the mo so picked up a bottle.

Snip...

Sorry, I've not tried the Elemis one (although a friend of mine at work uses a lot of Elemis products).

However, I would not class Clinique City Block as a day cream. It is more like a sunscreen, and I thought it should be worn over moisturiser but under foundation (or instead of foundation if you have decent skin).

Thanks, think this has made up my mind - I will be on the look out for an offer.

I've had an internet mooch - it seems it's made by Grace Cole Co - who have a dozen different brands - they even do BATMAN :D

Thanks.

I'd love to be able to train my hair to do this. I hate the feeling when I haven't washed my hair that day. It always looks really greasy and when I use dry shampoo it only seems to take the edge off it, looks ok to pop to shops but not to go to work/meet friends etc. I must be doing something wrong!

I find that too - but now that my hair is short I find I have to wash it everyday otherwise my head resembles a pineapple

UU the last of my Clinique eye make up remover tonight so I am now moving onto the L'Oreal one. Fingers crossed.

Did I read that right, Alanis, an escaped snake? :eek::eek::eek:

Yes VALM it is the Elemis Maximum Moisture - still haven't opened it yet thought. Very naughty given the sunshine.

Another UU: Sensodyne Pronamel.

WIBA? Darn right - HG product. But ouch at the price!

In a really good mood as I just found my snake again (yay!) in a bottle trap I set up, so now I can spray my room so it smells nice and not of mouse entrails anymore

I had more to say, but I've completely forgotten, lol, just so happy =]

Know how you feel, 60% of escaped snakes are not recaptured, we've only had this happen a couple of times with ours and touch wood, thanks to a very secure tank it will never happen again. We had a yellow rat snake go missing for a month years ago, (got below floorboards) and a snow corn got out twice when a juvenile. He was found in a towel bale the first time and coiled up in a sandal in a shoe rack the second.

Forgot a UU - A Morrison's Body Spray called something like Exhilarate. Must have had it for around 2-3 years. WIBA? I seldom shop there now - at that time I was working near that store. It's actually really nice but I have loads still to use. So no, I won't buy it.

I popped in Asda yesterday but just as well there were no reduced NSpa gift sets. I also mooched around TK Maxx and drooled at the Tigi shampoo but came out empty handed. I then went into the Body Shop with my Groupon but no offers tempted me and I decided to wait until May (coupon expires 25 May). Finally, I went into Boots - the naughty advantage card machine had rubbish offers for me. I made my way to the Champneys goodies thinking that I would succumb to the gwp offer but I wasn't tempted enough. I want to wait until the next Boots magazine comes out in case there is a points coupon in there. Oh well, yesterday I was truly an :A.

Morning everyone

Haven't posted for a week or so and there are so many posts (promise to catch up soon).
I feel I am slowly but surely using things up.:T I have one more application of shampoo in my 1 litre MOP bottle so will be pleased when that's gone and have not bought anything all month. Yes, I know I have been doing this challenge since the New Year but am pleased I have had a "No spend month" - determined to make it to Sunday with no purchases. Anyway, feel happy as there is a L'occitane TSV today on QVC which I haven't the slightest bit of interest in. :j Blimey, I think I'm cured. I am waiting for one parcel to arrive though -my half-price Easter egg from Hotel Chocolat -can't wait:D

Bye for now:)

We'll soon be seeing some of our ladies back on this thread instead of the DTD one. Tesco have dropped it, you now only get the difference back, not double. I think this site was sending them bankrupt :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

UU the mini Righteous Butter as predicted, and the mini Clean On Me this morning. WIBA? No but only because I have a full size of both and many, many others to use up, but I do love the smell, so in theory yes I would, in about 6 years!! BS Moringa next I think.

sofababe - i read this and went to check the tesco site to see if it was true - OMG it is. People are having a moan on the dtd thread but really they've had 2 good months at this and I can't see what there is to complain about. I'm glad it's over really, now I can stop stressing over vouchers and what to get. Don't know what some of the people on that thread are going to do with themselves now.

I just read that too - oh well I only had a 1p voucher anyway the rest of my weeks Tesco was always cheaper...hey ho


Can you believe its almost the weekend again! :j Unfortunatly the weather seems to have turned so unlikely to be going anywhere, its still sunny but no where near as warm but the forecast for the next few days is heavy rain! Did make me chuckle as last night we checked the forecast for the wedding and it said thundery showers...shouldnt laugh really as it is somebody's wedding day but at the same time makes me laugh at all the people camping out there to see it..... You may be able to tell I dont give a damn about the wedding, we're not a royalist city here and yet the whole town has gone mad, every single shop has signs, flags everything...even lifesize cardboard cutouts....I cant wait for it to be over!

Off to town this afternoon, have £13 left in my bank account and need to try and find something for OH's birthday on that amount...becoming an absolute joke now to the point Im going to have to either borrow the money off him to buy him presents or not get him anything at all
