    One UU for me: Sure Minimising Deodorant: WIBA? well - I'm gonna give it a week before I decide as it seems to have worked at slowing down hair re-growth but presumably a week without using it will give a definate answer :p

    :rotfl: I tried the umm I can't remember what it is, dove maybe?, minimising deodrant and spent the whole 3 months of using it (in true toiletries addict mode I got about 4 in one go without trying it first :cool: ) moaning about how it didn't work, it was rubbish, I would never buy it again etc etc it was the worst product i'd ever used... then about 2 weeks after not using it I realised how well it had been working when I woke up ape like one morning:eek: (maybe a slight exaggeration) :rotfl: oops:rotfl:

    I found the hair minimising ones dried out my skin though so I don't bother with them anymore:cool:

    Maybe I should use this to tide me over between waxings? Hair is the The Partners pet peeve so he hates it and moans constantly haha. Can I use it on my legs??:cool:

    I intended to have a nice relaxing night-in last night, UU 1 of my face masks, wear my moisturising S&G gloves/socks etc, but had an almighty row with The Partner after he promised (and was bedroom bribed) to be home by 8, but then got in at some UNGODLY hour and still expected me to pack up my stuff ad go to his house (which, stupidly, I did). So long story short, no UUs for me =[ :(

    Also, my false nails are one by on falling off, so thinking I'll remove them soon. But today, my left thumb one came off and underneath part of my nail has gone GREEN! I vaguely remember this happening last time I wore false nails too (I only get to wear them at xmas, easter and summer due to my job/placements). Anyone know what causes this? Or has it happened to anyone? Is it just a stain? Or something more sinister??:huh:

    Lastly, xoxo, that sounds like a FAB idea! Will PM you momentarily!! :j

    I'm not sure i'd use deodorant on my legs!! :rotfl: There's hair minimising moisturisers that may work though? Never tried them! :D

    No idea about the green nail _pale_ Hope it's nothing gross! :rotfl:

    Oooh, I'll have to keep an eye out!

    I suspect (and hope) its just a stain, maybe my nails react to the glue?

    Won't be able to join in the FB swapsies thing, do have a FB page but no info on it and only joined because someone put pictures of me on her page and I wanted to see what that was all about (she is someone from years ago who I don't see now and don't want to and she didn't have permission). Anyway not long after I started getting messages in my inbox from someone who used to stalk me (bit dramatic but true) a few years back and I was really upset so deactivated my account and never go near FB now.

    Couple of ins today, 2 more of the xpanding hair cream things, only £2 at the moment and it is really nice. Also S/D have vaseline moisturisers at half price so i replaced my beloved Aloe Fresh for summer and also got the vitalising gel. Off to the naughty step me thinks:o

    That's a shame hun :( I avoided it for ages after being stalked by someone, but eventually gave in and just didn't use my real surname and never put my pic as my profile picture. You could always use a fake name on a new FB profile if you feel you want to join us xx


    Welcome to the naughty step, I think I will be living here til i'm 50+ at the rate i'm going since I joined:rotfl:

    Hmm, its only faintly green and only a tiny part =s
    Theyre the ones you buy and apply yourself, there wasnt any lifting before it came off =s will try the alcohol suggestion thing tonight, thanks!!
    I'll be painting them soon anyway to try and UU some nail varnish lol. For me, nail varnish on my nails last a day (maybe 2) before I start picking, which is why I prefer false nails.

    Hopefully it's not that then and just a reaction to the glue like you say :D xx
