Another UU: Corsodyl Daily mouthwash.

WIBA? HG product, cos the dentist told me to. The dentist isn't paying the exhorbitant price for it, though!

I use this too, the price is crazy. Have you tried the toothpaste, OMG it is like cleaning your teeth with salty paste, you get used to it but one tube was enough for me, first thing in the morning was the worst.

Been a bit naughty in Boots today, got a Sanctuary gift set which i may (or may not) give as a present, and got the best of spa set which is free when you spend £8 or more. Wouldn't have been anywhere near boots if I wasn't going to the post office next door to post my ebay parcels and they were queuing out of the door so I called in there whilst i waited for the queue to die down, did resist the sanctuary stuff on clearance, I got some last week and they still had a few.

Must try harder in May. Don't need to buy anything at all.

Its times like this I really wish I had a bath so I could go for a long soak......Sooooooo bored, done all the householdy bits, OH got home from work and went straight to his 'studio', he got the go ahead to do his clients website so now hes busy working on that - at least it gives us a fair bit of money at the end of next month but that does mean I have the entire evening to myself and the TV is so dull... Ive taken to reading all the election campaign leaflets Ive had through the door over the last few weeks...goodness some of the parties don't half talk twaddle (Welsh elections incase anyone else thinks Ive gone mad )

Does anyone else here use Olay touch of sunshine/foundation products out of curiosity? I got some dead cheap in Bodycare a while ago around £2 for a fairly large tube but the consistency is pretty runny and I was wondering if its just mine or if its meant to be as runny as it is....

I went into a Savers today and just bought some disposable razors (which I don't count in this challenge). I did notice however that they had some Deadsea Source and Naked shower gels and body lotions at very good prices. The Deadsea Source stuff was £1.99 each, I think, and the Naked products were only £1 each.

I've used Touch of Sunshine moisturiser with self-tan, can't recall it being particularly runny, was it runny from the start?

Was it a slightly duff batch that ended up in Bodycare, I wonder - £2 is incredibly cheap. Perhaps it was a formulation for overseas or something.
Having said that, I've used similar products that are more like runny serums.

I never wear foundation, though my skin is starting to look a little more aged now, just a small mark or two and a few lines ... perhaps in a year or two I will.

Forgot today's UU A 400 ml Elvive conditioner for weak, fine, lifeless hair.

WIBA? I love it - I've already got a smaller bottle in stash.

I don't know if I'm the only person on here who has been dozy enough to try and shampoo her hair with conditioner from near-identical bottles first thing in the morning.

I've done this at least twice with the Elvive. The way I shampoo my hair means near-minimal lather anyway, so it's possible that I've done it more often. Now that I will be using a different sized bottle it shouldn't happen again.

I'm liberal with conditioner when used correctly which maybe explains why there is c. 200 ml of the shampoo left when both bottles were bought at the same time- some 10 weeks supply for me.

Day 20
UU DermaV10 night cream 50ml
WIBA? Probably not – even though it is only £1 – no better than a simple day cream so would just let a day cream moisturiser do double duty if I didn’t have better night cream

Total April to date UU: 4
Total April to date IN: 4

Well we have bought the entire stock of Asda and two of the butchers in town . DH's just running the bath so I shall get in and have a nice soak in a bit. The little people have given me a birthday card already because they are too excited to wait until tomorrow and a stone. The stone is to live on my dressing table. It's a very nice stone. Some sort of milky white pinkish quartz. Not rose quartz though. Bless them.
We've made up kebabs ready for tomorrow too so there's not too much prep left to do. A quick blast with the hoover should see the house straight in the morning.
I felt very unwell last night, really queasy and sick so I ended up going to bed at 6pm. I got up again at 9 for a few hours and then couldn't sleep very well when I was back in bed. Consequently, I was hanging this morning. DH kindly took the littlies to school and then sat downstairs until I got up. He had taken today off work because he couldn't be bothered to go in! The traffic in town is dreadful though and thankfully we grabbed the kids straight from school to go to Asda because we were only just back in time to take DS to beavers for his first session. He loved it and I'm glad he finally feels able to participate in something like this. He's a funny boy, ever so shy. Oh well, he'll get better (or not) with time. So long as he's happy that's the main thing .

Doubt I'll be on here much tomorrow. I will be watching the aljazeera (sp?) news channel as my cousins filming the wedding and has got a spot right outside Buck house looking down The Mall. Nice to see his handiwork. The only thing I've ever seen before that we knew was his was a BBC broadcast from the Olympics in Greece although he wasn't working for the Beeb. Such an exciting life. Not jealous (much!) after all, he doesn't get to see all the poop that I get to see

Have a lovely day tomorrow everyone, and have a nice weekend too. I will be back at work on Monday night. Grrrrrr I shall make grumpy noises about that all night!

one uu to report- salon selectives shampoo for permed/coloured hair.wba as it left my hair nice and curly and okay with my psoriasis. well thats dtd over so i can concentrate on one thread now :P got enough of some stuff like deoderant etc so wont have to buy any this year plus with the normal cupboard groceries aswell so hopefully will be able to pay off credit card sooner and start saving

have u ever tried joining shopandscan or any other shopping panel? i try and save up the points from these to buy pressies..has really helped me out this year and i think i would have struggled without them.also there is a site called dooyoo and ciao-pays a very small amount but something you could do instead o watching tv and they give amazon vouchers (dooyoo) or pay to your bank account (ciao)

Evening

Just popping in to report my Avon ins

Got the trial size skincare set thats on offer at £10 and my avon lady put in a free sample of Herve Leger perfume so that will be 5 Ins :eek:

I think I should just about be able to match my Ins with UU this month but no stash reducing for me!
I am determined to buy nothing in May and start making a dent in the actual number of products I have!!

Have a great weekend everyone (those lucky enough to have the days off anyway!)
