getting desparate for UU here lol so will declare
one horrible pink cheap razor - i hate these things but the MSE in me won't let me just check them all out before using each one at least once.
box 200 ear buds, got loads so no need to buy more at the moment. ( OH decided to buy me 5 boxes for christmas two christmases ago for some reason)

Oh and more importantly..... i went in Boots and only bought some water with my point. I was seriously tempted by the Sanctuary offer as i had enough points to buy the salt scrub which is £10.2 and would then get me the free gift ...... but i thought about my list of stocks and realised I DIDN'T NEED IT!

Hurrah! Well done you! :T

Sorry

no need to appologise, i could understand them in my stocking as they're good fillers and i do use them but to also get them wrapped up as pressy's was a bit bizzare. Think i'm going to have to come up with better lists for pressies so he doesn't have to do too much thinking around the edges lol

My mum has just left and has taken a clinque foamng cleanser with her as a donation. Very happy with this as it had caused a rash of spots on my chin.

Another £2 in my pot

Went to a boot sale this morning (Do love a good boot sale!) and bought for 50p a Chanel Sample Foundation brand new. It must have been a GWP as it's quite large and has a sponge. Looks like enough for a couple of weeks. The only problem is it's absolutely amazing!! used it when I got home and still perfect tonight.I've looked it up and the full size is £43.50 and I have £30 sitting in a card that my OH gave me for mothers day so am going to use it for the next couple of days and maybe invest. I only have one foundation at the moment which is Bobbi Brown which I don't really like but am determind to finish. I may be on the naughty step in the next few days but this would be the first time in 5 weeks so is allowed I think!!! And I am hooked on DTD'ing but have not bought any toiletries:T

That's so funny :rotfl: At least you won't need to buy any for a looong time :money:

I once got 4 boxes of cup a soup wrapped and in a gift bag as a present for my birthday from my Grandad who didn't know what to get me but wanted to get something :rotfl: :rotfl:

Some in's today but not intentional. Earlier this week I returned two collection 2000 foundations, they were both the same and were supposed to be Ivory but were bright orange. Contacted them by e-mail and they sent an envelope, postman came today with replacements, the two I sent back were 2 for £5 and they sent me lasting perfection foundation, lasting perfection concealer, some fancy mascara, illuminating undereye concealer and silk foundation. Wasn't expecting that lot.:j

L'Oreal should take a leaf out of Collection 2000's book!!

I've now emailed them twice about the lack of any red hair colour and I've not heard a word from them. Not an apology, nothing :mad: Rude, rude, rude!!!
I'm now boycotting them which is handy as the Body Shop sale is on so I'm not going in there out of principal. The number of brands that L'Oreal own is alarming :eek: They're taking over the world!!!!

morning!
Firstly apologies for being such a misersable moo the last few weeks - i do appreciate the lovely support from you guys.

Me and OH talked and he says i should turn the job down (actually his words were ruder ) gave me a huge list of reasons, ranging from the unethicalness of the company to the fact he'll have to do his own washing if im never home haha. He says were not that desperate for cash that i need to sell my soul. He says he will train me up to help him out with his freelance stuff, saves him time but also he says that way i cant feel guilty about using his money as i would have earned it too. In the meantime im just going to be a bit of a housewife and keep applying for jobs lol.

Have a lovely day!

Edit: you guys picked a horse for today? Its always a tradition in my family that we all pick one - OH has just put £1 e/w on both our horses, if they happen to come in 1-2 we'd make £99, unlikely but anything can happen OH's horse won last year, shame he didnt bet on it then because I think the odds were really high...like 200-1

Glad you turned the job down - it was way too many hours for far too little pay!

I did have a little wager on the National. Mine came 14th, while dd2 backed last years winner who came in 3rd. Was good fun watching it actually - though spoilt by the jehovahs Witnesses knocking on the door just as they approached the finish line. :mad:

Apparently I opened the door and said something like "horse racing - nearly finished - I was watching it" while still trying to watch the end and the woman just gave me a leaflet and said "bye". Ok, so I was a bt rude...but anyone with common sense would realise lots would be watching.

I was shocked though - to find out 2 horses died during the race I know I cringed a few times watching them fall, but I never thought any would actually die.

:jAnother UU to report.... and like someone else said its an own brand anti dandruff 2 in 1 shampoo that seemed to have lost its ability to do what it was meant to do... in fact normal shampoos have not been agrivating the dandruff but this had started to create it:mad:. Maybe it was because of the age of the bottle?? WNBA

On to useing up the boots brunette pro vit shampoo now! before the mammoth task of the 3 large tresemme bottles lol we could be some time!:rotfl:

Made a small profit on the grand national. Nothing to do with toiletries, but it makes me happy.
