I couldn't resist either and I can't say that I am nearly out of shampoo or conditioner so it's on to the naughty step for me!

I am disappointed with myself as I thought I was winning this battle :mad:

A bargain through so at least your safe in that knowledge:)

UU - Dove intense care deep replenishing hair cream WIBA perhaps though this ones been on the go for at least 3 years

Just cut open my Clinque moisture surge tonight, quite a bit left in there

I have a couple of UUs :jfcuk sport body lotion - WIBIA maybe but have plenty others to use first.
Johnsons tinted body lotion - WIBIA not sure that it really darkened my legs, my palms yes but my legs not sure! :cool:
I have a couple of Ins via Tesco DTD so effectively free :j so not really a spend, right?

Damn damn damn. Forgot to report an IN back in March. I talked about buying it but didn't 'fess up. It is neatly balanced out by a UU but still...:mad:

IN - Johnsons Gentle Eye Make Up Remover. Just used it and it is RUBBISH! Left an oily film round my eyes and I had to really rub to remove my mascara which isn't even waterproof!

UU - Tesco My Skin Eye Make Up Remover. Didn't think it was anything special but compared to the above I probably WBA!

Hope everyone is ok and having a nice evening!

Really cheesed off tonight. Been clothes shopping with the kids and KH. DD is trying to dress like a prostitute ..........He said she was always coming down in unsuitable clothes and I said that it was because someone else bought her the skirt that she always wears (really really short denim) and I've told her she's not allowed out without leggins on with it because it's too short. He let her out at the weekend with just the skirt . It doesn't mean she doesn't have any other clothes, just that she has no taste. That's where we have to guide her !!!!!!.
Anyway, I'm going to sulk for a bit longer and then go to bed. I've got a terrible headache

Oh Kaz {HUGS} :rotfl: how old is your DD? We've had the exact same problem with our DD - she's 16 now and beyond talking to/listening to us but she dressed like a stripper from just after turning 13 :eek: We had the same "you're not wearing that without leggings/tights" arguments and the "please don't go out without a coat it's below zero today" one - it all fell on deaf ears - she'd just take the leggings off on the bus or 'forget' her coat constantly.

And of course we got the 'but all my friends wear it' waffle - then we'd see the pics on FB and ...well! would you believe it! all her friends were sensibly dressed in jeans/jumpers etc and there's DD looking like a streetwalker who just wandered into the picture :rotfl:

It didn't help that it was her mother buying her all this stuff and we were fighting to get her wear something age appropriate :mad:

OH has told her to her face that she "looks like a 'ho'" but it didn't even dent her *rollseyes*. Only compromise we ever got was at family parties after she turned up at one in all her finery and her grandmother told her to 'never disgrace her again' by looking like she does and she now turns up in something resembling normal clothes when we visit :rotfl:

Is there someone who could shame her into it? Like her favourite Aunty (a little more tactically than your OH ) who she might see as not just being 'bossy mum?' It might work - but then so might washing everything on super boil wash so it doesn't fit anymore :rotfl:

Good Luck - I've been there and lost - I hope your DD is less superficial than our primadonna

:shhh: okay, I probably shouldn't be admitting this but...I tried a radox coconut shower smoothie simply because it said 'DO NOT DRINK' (yeah, I'm such a rebel:doh:) I ate a seed/oat from lush porridge soap and a bit of sweetie pie shower jelly (it tasted good:o) and some mange too but you're allowed to eat that:rotfl:

let's just move on..:whistle:

another UU I forgot about:

johnsons baby powder: WNBA- it wasn't bad, I just didn't know what to use it for. I did try using after a bath as some of you suggested but I really didn't like it so I did what someone else did and added all of those annoying splutterers and things I didn't like into a bath. It was certainly an...interesting bath:rotfl:

Absinthe Fairy and xoxo are now asked to please leave the naughty step and make their way to the funny farm A pair of wallies :rofl: Anyone else like to admit to having eaten any of their smellies? Are you two the reason that my bottle of radox says on it please don't eat me?

Probably:rotfl: I'm 99% sure the breakfast scrub specifically says don't eat it, but I had to try a nibble, it just smells soooooooooo good :rotfl::o

Someone else must have tasted something...surely....anyone....? :rotfl:

I used to eat lip balm too. Not licking it off my lips eating it... scoop it out the pot kind of eating it:rotfl: The BS ones were the nicest, so I had to ban myself from buying them

Can't believe i'm confessing all this on a public internet forum when RL friends know my username:rotfl::rotfl::o:o

Sorry to hear people have problems with their DDs and how they dress:( Can imagine it's quite frustrating seeing them dress so badly

Re Tricky DD's: Worth trying just ignoring them? I know when I dressed outlandishly years back I saw it as a major victory if anyone commented disapprovingly - at the point at which everyone got bored mentioning it, I quickly got bored with doing it.

Baby Powder in a bath? I would imagine it looked (and felt) a little like wallpaper paste? :rotfl:

Did you not look a bit like casper after your talc bath?? :rotfl:
