That's all, nothing to add.....as you were.
:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
Must resist....
Charlie - sorry to hear about your OH - hope it gets sorted soon.
Rosemary - hope you are ok today, further hugs coming your way. xx
Nothing new to report from me... am thoroughly bored at work today so the lures of internet shopping are lingering - am trying to resist as I have my Body shop order from last month sitting at my parents for when I go home at the end of next week, so while that's already been reported as an in for March, it'll be like a lovely new one for me
Am going to attempt a bit of a pamper tonight and hopefully some splutterers will finally give up the ghost - my skin's looking rather dull, so a bit of scrubbing and moisturising might not go awry!

I loooove the smell! It makes me want to eat it :rotfl:
I don't like it much as a scrub though:o
It smells like the Avon Planet Spa Brown Sugar one used to, but is much better in use as that was in a bottle which was rubbish to get the scrub out of. I have to say I was quite impressed with its "scrubbiness" this morning - deeply delighted that I like it as it smells so fantastic I was dreading that it would turn out to be like Flakeaway - smells lush, feels awful!🎉 MORTGAGE FREE (First time!) 30/09/2016 🎉 And now we go again…New mortgage taken 01/09/23 🏡

another couple of UU:j:
avon skin so soft body wash- WIBA? yes, really creamy and made my skin soft, lasts quite a while and not too expensive
boots pretty body spray- WIBA? maybe, smelt nice and only £1 but I want to try S&G glamalot next
alsso returning an avon 3 in 1 cleanser as it has given me awful spots on my cheeks and forehead:eek:
and the eternal magic perfume because it lasts about 10 minutes on my skin and if I keep spraying it, I get a headache:o
avon is so hit and miss sometimes:(Toiletry spend £34.95 In: 10 out:130 -
Hope you are ok, Charlie.
I've uu a Lee Stafford Blinding Brunette shampoo. WIBA? Yes, if on offer, as it is £5 plus for a tube. I will not be buying in the near future though as I've still got plenty of shampoo in the stash to keep me going.0 -

I've found all the S&G scrubs to be a bit horrible unfortunately (seeing as i'm a S&Gaholic!)They seem really greasy.
I liked the smell of the breakfast scrub so much that I tasted it once:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: It doesn't taste as yummy as it smells thats for sure :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::j0 -

Rosemary, I was very sorry to read about your cat
Charlie - congratulations on submitting your thesis!! That must be a real weight off your mind. It's not that long ago I submitted mine, and the feeling was fab. I'm very sorry to hear about the problems with your bf, especially the timing. I hope you manage to sort things out, if you decide that is what you want.
Ins:
None at all so far this month! :j
Used up::T
- M&S Fairtrade double-sided cottonwool pads (100). WIBA? If I need to make up a spend to use a voucher, yes. Otherwise no. They have a habit of splitting.
- Australian Bodycare Tea Tree Oil Intensive Cleansing Shampoo (200mL). WIBA? Yes. This cleans my hair really well and does not give me spots on my scalp. I have a 1L size of this in the stash, so just as well I like it
- Botanics Purifying Body Souffle (450mL). WIBA? Possibly. It had a nice light texture, sank in well and moisturised well. I don't rate the “purifying” or “circulation improving” claims, though! I think I bought this when it was reduced and I got a free pack of facewipes with it. I'd definitely buy it again under those circumstances.0
