    Heya, quick tip if any of you use the intuition razor blades - just popped into Sainsbury's this morning and packs of 3 are now £1! I bought all 3 packs there, so got 9 for £3. Whoop! They're now £6 something in Boots, so thought I'd let you know. It may just be my local branch though? x

    Hello! Happy very belated birthday Sofababe!

    Just a quick comment: I moved my toiletries to the OH's last night (they all fitted into one box!!!!!) and he said "I was going to leave them on the floor here (outside the car) and help you with the box of DVD's because I figured any stolen would be an out".

    Cheeky blight! :D

    I had a horrible dream last night that my toe nail came off again and that made me think I should look after them again then I came on here and two people have been talking about their feet. Must be signs!

    I had this dream the night before last too!!!! How weird!

    WARNING: DONT READ THE REST OF THIS POST IF YOU ARE GOING FOR A FISH PEDICURE SOON!!!


    (I dont want to ruin anyone's excitement, it may just prove to be my mad ramblings)

    I had a fish pedicure when they startedpopping up everywhere with my mom and it was immense, but now they're querying about the transfer of things like verucca's and infections etc between people, particularly if you have eczema (or open wounds I expect) =s

    So I'm going to let that settle down while they run tests and release those guidelines before I go for another one as I get eczema....

    My DD paid for me to have.......a FISH PEDICURE!!!!!! :j:j:j

    It was lovely and my feet feel amazing, I'm supposed to be going out tonite but I don't want to have to put shoes on and spoil me lovely feet :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Thank you for your birthday good wishes, u are all such lovely folk on this thread :heartsmil

    Hope you had a fab Birthday Sofababe! :dance::dance:
    Hi folks, :wave: I know I shouldn't be admitting to buying stuff on here but I wanted to be cheeky and take advantage of your immense combined knowledge of all things toiletries! :D I tried the Thierry Mugler Angel summer edition (lol, I just typed 'Angler') last year and really liked it. My usual summer perfume has gone off and Boots is running an offer I can't refuse. ;) I was wondering:

    1. does the Angel summer edition change each year or does it stay the same?

    2. is Boots still giving out a £5 off summer perfume voucher when you spend £5? If so, anyone know if it includes the Thierry Mugler Angel summer scent?

    Thanks in advance. I hope you're all doing well. :) I'm still doing my darndest to stick to the challenge (the perfume excepted, natch ;) ).

    I'm so sorry hon, I haven't the foggiest about any of that. (Not my area - now if you'd aked about Bobbi brown I would probably have been able to help!)

    I expect one of the girls who can be trusted :o to set foot in Boots and is into perfumes will know.

    I finished another 50ml of Ren Rose Otto shower gel today, but have already reviewed this month so won't do it again.

    It's my birthday in two weeks and I have asked for beauty supplies so I'll have some impending "INs" soon.

    Hope you're all having a fab weekend! :heartpuls:heartpuls:heartpuls

    Life is a coin, you can spend it anyway you wish, but you can only spend it once.
    Go as far as you can see, and when you get there you'll see further.

    Back for the No Buying Toiletries challenge. I pledge to only buy when I run out of a product that is not already in my stash no matter what wonderful emails land in in my Inbox or threads I read on MSE re: glitches!

    Morning all, hope the miserable BH weather is not dampening your day.

    Am reporting my total uu and ins for May as I won't be around tomorrow.

    Total in's (including 2 mag freebies) 14 - I have counted the Champneys gwp as 5 items.

    Total uu's and outs - 13

    My final uu for May was a head and shoulders conditioner, wba, never had dandruff but the heavenly hydration (I think it's called this) is lovely.

    Overall I had more in's than I planned but still much less than any other month.

    See you next month.
