    an IN to confess:o:

    mini S&G Hand Food- bought it because it was a 1/3 off:( Oh well, I lasted 2 weeks with no spend:T

    and a UU:

    so...superstar body spray-WIBA? maybe, smelt nice and wasn't too expensive but I finished the bottle in about a week:eek:

    I will finish the love at first glow perfume before starting another body spray. half way there...:(

    Incidentally if anyone has any recommendations for treating eczema that doesnt involve steroid creams please let me know. My eyes have suddenly flared up terribly with the warmer weather, and also the side of my mouth and one ear. :(

    I've had eczema (when I was young) and now I have Urticaria but I found something really natural helped and used Essential Care Calendula Balm, it is about £6 I thin,k and is really soothing. Just a suggestion though....

    Thinking of trudi and sawan at the moment -really feel for you both and sending you both a grouphug.gif.

    Still struggling to UU stuff but haven't bought anything so far this month :Tas the free BS Body butter from the Daily Mail has gone in the gift drawer and I will make up a hamper nearer Xmas.

    Have a lovely Sunday afternoon everyone:)

    PudseyDB, when my psoriasis flares up around my ears and forehead I use Estee Lauder's Advanced Night Repair which actually heals it. I do this morning and night until it's gone. It's pricey but well worth the money in my opinion. I don't like using steroid creams either.

    Hope you find something that works for you.

    Afternoon all! I have some naughty INs to report:

    Aussie Miracle Moist Shampoo and Conditioner
    Aussie Aussome Volume Shampoo and Conditioner
    Gillette Satin Care Shaving Foam (miniature)

    In my defence, the Aussie stuff was 2 for £5 in Tesco and I did need some to take away on holiday - I find the mini shampoo and conditioners last me no time so thought I'd take standard size bottles. The shaving foam is also for my holiday. And I do have a UU to report (although it in no way justifies my INs!):

    Tresemme Colour Protect Shampoo and Conditioner (sachet) - WNBA, my hair felt awful after using them and even my fancy dan Babyliss Big Hair didn't do the trick!

    Will shuffle off to the naughty step...

    Xx

    Thanks people - Im not feeling quite so wet now (though not far off it!!) my friend messaged him this morning telling him that she was suprised to hear that he had finished with me, especially after seeing us together at Aintree - and while she wishes him all luck in his new relationship, she thinks that it was quite thoughtless to post the changed relationship status so soon when I am so devistated and hurt....

    his reply was "yeah - I know ive hurt her really badly, I hated telling her" so that, coupled with him telling me that he wasnt sure he wasnt making a big mistake, and in a text today answering my "I hope she doesnt hurt you like before" with "hopefully she wont" does kind of imply (to me anyway!) that hes not very sure at all about getting back with her - my friend who was talking to me most of the night reckons the other girl has got wind of him having me - and decided thats not allowed - and the speedy status change thing would suggest that shes not far from the truth I guess - I havent looked at his profile yet - not ready to see that it says hes in a relationship with anyone else. Part of me wants him to realise that its not likely to work and come back to me - but theres a bigger part of me that just wants him to be happy, and if thats with her - then so be it. Id comment on his change of status with something suitably nice - like congrats pet,hope you are happy - but I dont want other comments to be messaged to my inbox if anyone else every bloody responds on it!!!

    Hopefully at some point I will stop getting all tearful whenever someone asks me how I am - its hardly the first time its happened to me !!!!

    HUGS Sawan - I was sympathetic before, but nothing prepared me for how I am feeling at the moment, and I now think I havent been anywhere near sympathetic enough to you.... xx

    Hello everyone - it's a sunny Sunday here in Yorkshire - hope it's lovely where you all are.

    I had 2 UU this morning
    Amazing Grace shimmer body lotion - WBA, love it!
    Gatineau throat gel - WBA (HG), but several in stash to UU first.
    So, another £2 in the pot for me today. I'm getting very overexcited at saving money - my mother thinks it's hillaroius, as previously I could never keep money in my pocket for more that 10mins! It only took 38yrs for me to realise it's good to save:rotfl:

    Hugs to Trudij - life sucks sometimes
    Scrappie:p
