    'What's everyone doing for tomorrow?' working!

    Not sure how I managed to pull 12hr day shifts on both mothers day and my mum's birthday (two weeks ago)??

    Bronnie - looks like you will have a lovely time - let me know how you get on!

    Just off to put on yet another layer of body lotion and a face mask - need to make use of 'apple pie making' time!

    Bronnie - hope you have a lovely evening, sounds great.

    An in that I forgot to mention earlier, again courtesy of dtd:

    HE Fresh balance shampoo and conditioner 400ml each

    thats 1200ml of shampoo and 1200ml conditoner in total in this week. The kids and DH have their own stuff and I have a short cropped hair style so this is going to last a loooooooong time.

    Asked for 1 toiletry in for tomorrow but we will see. DH is working 12 hrs tomorrow so it's me doing everything with the kids so won't be particularly relaxing. They've been told if they aren't on best behaviour the police car and hello kitty handbag bought today will be going on ebay;). We'll see.

    Thanks Scrappie, I might try that next time! I'm usually quite lucky and not too hungover, but I think I deserved a sore head this morn!

    Just popping back in mid-pamper (just applied the clinique 15 minute facial - I never use facials/masks etc so we'll see how this goes!)

    So, I was considering the Tesco DTD - and think I need to check I've got this right as it seems a bit too simple - so all I do is check Tescos website, and Asda's site for the respective prices of the same item. If Asda is cheaper, then buy from Tesco, put the receipt details on their price check site, and they'll send a coupon for dtd? Therefore, if HE shampoo conditioner is approx £3 in Tesco, and £1.50 in asda, if I bought one I'd get a coupon back for £3, making it free... Am I missing anything here? If not, I might be popping to the shops tomorrow...:D

    I'm sure Celebrate will be along shortly to correct me/encourage me towards free toiletries... :rotfl:

    I spent all morning compiling my list :eek:. I think that my problem is that I have lots of items which I have half used before moving on to something else. I have now moved a lot of these to the bathroom so hope to have a few quick UUs.

    In addition to this little lot, I know that I have left some items in my last house :eek: which I will collect within the next week or so but I won't count these as INs because I've already bought them, just can't remember what I have...

    I decided that I'm not going to include make up, nail varnish or perfume as I'm better with these.
