UU - S & G Greatest scrub of all WIBA Yes I probably would but I have a Flakeaway to use next then a breakfast scrub. I am dubious of using the flakeaway though after some of your feedback but will give it a go! I have also slapped on some fake tan today as my legs were whiter than white!

Greatest Scrub of all is wonderful stuff - definately a HG of mine. I'm afraid I LOATHED Flakeaway so I wish you luck with that one!

Afternoon everyone! And what a sunny afternoon it is here in Yorkshire - just lovely!

I'm so loving the suppport and inner-strength you ladies give me on here. I may not post a lot, but I think of you every day (while trying to avoid purchasing) and you give me the power to say 'NO'. I am determined that I will stay away from the naughty step for the whole of April (my frist month of the chalange). So at the mo I suppose I'm going cold-turkey. Not quite as bad as I had feared it would be - again thanks to all of you.

I'm actually getting a kick out of UU now, before I used to hoard everything, and just admire the pretty bottles. Well, no longer - I spent my hard earned cach on all this stuff and I'm going to ensure my body is buffed, polished and moisturised to perfection as a result.

Have another UU today - the Prai eye cream finally went. That's another £1 in the pot. WBA, but not untill I have used every eye cream in my collection. Keep layering on the collagen gell today - had a very big night out last night, my skin is paying the price today. So hopfully that will be anothe UU by this evening.

Am going to spend the afternoon sorting out gifts for friends - on is leaving yorkshire for the bright light of London at the end of the week - will be so sad to see her go. But very much looking forward to free accomodation in London!! Have other birthday's that I need to get sorted for also. So, looks like I will be 'gifting' soem of my stash - much better for someone else to appreciate a lovely gift than for me to be sat here looking at bottles of stuff that I'm wishing were not there.

Off to apply some body lotion - forgot to do that after my shower this am, just realised!

Well - 4 'outs' sorted as gifts - all molton brown shower, 300ml toko-yuzu and 100ml each of blissful templetree, warming eucalyptus and bracing silverbirch. All these to go with some yankee candles - should make my friends new place in london smell sweet!

I don't have a massive problem with horse racing as such just the national. Unfortunately the horses don't understand the risk they are taking. I've had horses since I was 5 and you are right they will only do what they want. I know accidents happen at other races but it just seems to be almost every time at the national and it gets so much publicity. Don't even get me started on motor racing - another one of my bug bears - me being a bit of an enviromentalist and all.

Filled my basket online at BS today 7 items and a free full size BB for spending £30 online, 10% LYB discount and free delivery. Then shut the site down and left it at that, only half pleased with myself as would have been better if I wasn't even on there.

Well - now doing not so good:o

Move over on the naughty step please!

Beauty day on QVC - have not even had the TV on, they e-mailed me to tell me! HAD to have a look and see if Laura Geller B&B was in stock, and it was. So bought 2 in order to be sure that never run out. This is a HG product for me, and is never in stock when I need it. So try and keep ahead of the game when I see it!

Feel bad for myself that I HAD to do it - but I shut the site down and am going to watch a film while I paint my nails. Will not give in to temptation and switch to 640!

More ins for me

Some S&G lipgloss, and S&G hot pore cleanser whatever it is! :rotfl: I had boots vouchers and thought i'd use them while they have 1/3 off S&G though. That's my excuse and i'm sticking to it

UU - Nivea deodorant....WIBA? Don't know, I liked it but it made me cough

Mingle

I got rid of an Avon SSS tanner- WNBA as it smelt of burned biscuits

I have returned from hols, no UUs sadly but my Squeaky Green shampoo bar from Lush is nearing the end of its life! Have gone on a bit of a banana kick with Gumback Express Shower Smoothie, Banana Moon Soap and Sympathy for the Skin Body Lotion (all Lush) so I smell all nice and fresh!

Just checking in - spent half the day out in the sun at OH's folks house washing OH's car, they've been doing roadworks down our way all week and it was thick with dust...nice to be outside though....Good news is we found some scratch remover and managed to get pretty much all of the scratches I put in the bonnet when it snowed....I'd gotten a little carried away with digging the car out

Am off to COMPLETE my dissertation tonight, finish referencing it, write the contents pages and add the appendix's etc...then print the 80 or so pages ready for tomorrow when Ill get it bound and hand it in!...With the exception of my two exams + my graduation this is the last time Ill go back to uni, so sad but thankfully we're all local so will try and keep in touch and see each other now and again....
