    I have an unexpected UU. I have come to the end of my No7 cocooning body butter. WIBA?: At the moment I have no need as there is another in stock. It's a little pricey so will have to see what offers there are when I need more BB's.
    For now, I've dug out a 475ml The Sanctuary body souffl!. Looking forward to trying this one out.

    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'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.

    :rotfl:

    I do exactly the same thing so I now keep mine on different sides of the bath (we don't have a shower) :p

    3for2's are good for me as 2 bottles of conditioner does one bottle of shampoo ;)

    A couple of UU's after my bath -

    BS Spiced Vanilla BB: WIBA? I think you all know how I feel about this range by now :rotfl:
    No7 Revitalising Hand Saviour: WIBA? Well this is my HG and I can use a skinny so I may get another next week :D

    Kaz - Happy Birthday for tomorrow :bdaycake: Have a fantastic day!

    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:

    :hello: As predicted, here I am.

    Are we going to welcome back the deserters? :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    I hope so, please. I haven't been keeping up with you lot but haven't bought any toiletries either.

    Sorry for my absence and the fact that I've added slightly to my stash...I'll go straight to the naughty step. As well as DTDing I had to move flat but will now get back to keeping up with the thread and using up my products...I've slipped out of a proper routine with them and was not pleased with how many I had to move.

    Kaz hope you enjoy your birthday and have a wonderful weekend.

    Hope everyone else is well, I'll try and get caught up this weekend, although I have to work:(
  • Im another deserter (hangs head in shame) as a certain other thread has been occupying my time!

    However im still using up my stuff! nearly at the end of a sample no 7 eye and face cream! still no compliments that i am looking younger.... sigh..

    I sat on the naughty step for using my body shop groupon..... honest! scarily i had it justified that it was for presents!

    I predict some ins for my birthday on tuesday, where i will be looking about 35 :D but i cannot be held responsible for presents.... can i?

    bf has bought me something useful....... he assures me it isnt an iron....

    hope everyone is well :wave:

    Can't sleep so checking in from my phone.

    Question about Royal Wedding tomorrow- I've noticed lots of people on MSE say they have to work tomorrow. Is it like a Sunday with all shops and restaurants open? For some reason I was under the impression everything would be closed like Christmas Day.

    Back on topic, I have a rather nice in. It was a freebie. Benefit skincare sample set from the Debenhams beauty club email and a card with 4 Estee lauder lipstick samples. I was shocked (but in a good way) when I saw the size of the Benefit box, it's huge compared with the usual sample sizes. The SA did make me have a quick consultation. Surprised nobody here has mentioned this offer.

    There are body shop butters free with Marie Claire and nails Inc polishes with In Style in May.

    Happy Birthday Kaz :bdaycake: and welcome back the DTD Deserters.

    Mags - thanks for the heads up on the TSB body butters. Will keep an eye out for the Love Etc one as that is gorgeous.

    Two UUs for me yesterday. The L'Occitane Verbena liquid soap in the bathroom has spluttered it's last. I managed to get through yesterday without ordering anymore from QVC although I did see part of another show later on. Had a seen a really good offer for a pack of two I could have been swayed. Have opened a new one from my stash and also a bottle of Philosophy Pure Grace handwash. Decided to do this because if I save the Pure Grace to open on its own MrM won't use it.

    Also used up the bottle of Philosophy Cinnamon Dots shower gel that my sister brought me from her last visit to the US in January 2010. Admittedly I didn't start using it until Autumn last year so it's lasted a good 8 months. Was fed up of it in the end and poured the last of it into my bath last night. WNBA. I'm offer to the US myself in October and whilst I will look out for Philosophy shower gels not available here in the UK I wouldn't seek this out to repurchase.
    Back for the No Buying Toiletries challenge. I pledge to only buy when I run out of a product that is not already in my stash no matter what wonderful emails land in in my Inbox or threads I read on MSE re: glitches!

    I think it's normal bank holiday shopping hours - some are ignoring it totally others have shortened hours :p

    Off to see Doctor Who - woohoo :T
