S'ok

I'm too lazy and at 6.30 in the morning dont have the mental ability to start messing about so I literally just add 1 drop of tea tree oil to the dollop of shampoo in my hand, rub my hands together to mix and then apply to bonce I just use cheapy tea tree oil from SD:D

(just checked and I use the essential oil not the blended oil http://www.superdrug.com/treatment/tea-tree-100-essential-oil-5ml/invt/81191/ )

Might be a stupid question but how did you know which tea tree oil to get as I've had a look at the SD website and there's also a pure tea tree oil?

For me it was the nasty greasy coating that stayed on my skin after using it - which in turn came off all over my towel when I dried myself. Definitely not something I EVER want to use again. Breakfast Scrub, on the other hand, smells fabulous, is really effective, and washes off the skin brilliantly.

oh I'll need to try this once I clear my S&G, BS stashes! :rotfl:

Just had Dove post this on my fb page. Obviously haven't met us lot then :rotfl:


If you haven't started spring cleaning yet, why not start with the bathroom cabinet. According to the Unilever Beauty in Numbers Report, the average British woman is hoarding an impressive collection of over 46 lotions and potions. What have you got hiding in yours?

:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:WE'RE NOT AVERAGE!!! :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

There are some impressive stashes around - vivh & Dr. Roberto


Well done! I did look at the BS website but couldn't get it to work and gave up, just as well really.....


My sentiments exactly.

Alanis - I suffered with CFS for as a teenager. My school days were very unhappy because my teachers didn't believe I was ill & thought I was school phobic. I still have nightmares about that time. But going to uni, taking baby steps & entering a whole new world gave me so much confidence and I am glad to say it is all in the past. Don't let people put you down.


Vivh - so sorry to hear about your dog & thevicster my sympathies


Fiasco55 - if nail varnish can make one feel so much better, then maybe doctors should start prescribing it

:rotfl: I quite a agree with you on that...

One UU for me - my Tigi Catwalk Sexed Up Body Building Tonic. WBA as it really works on volume and body without leaving my hair crunchy. Shame it has been discontinued. I have had a look around quickly and can buy it for around £9 still.

I am moving onto the Toni & Guy Volumising spray tomorrow morning.

Another £2 in my pot.

Splutterer update - eyeshadow almost done only a few loose powder bits left, foundation - still scraping the jar with a cotton bud in the morning and my loose powder has broken is almost done too.

I can add to this list my sure roll on deoderant which is now feeling really light.

Still feeling rough today but went into work to find most of my team is now complaining of a sore throat (which is what it started with on Thursday night). I don't think I will be very popular in the morning with the team if they have caught this

LOL at the idea of more Flakeaway! Seriously though, you do need to let them know as it might be something that affects all of a batch. The side-effect will almost certainly be that they will send you some vouchers, or a goodie bag, or something, which can't be sneezed at after all!

I've emailed them

Please no more Flake Away, please no more Flake Away :silenced:

Apologies for hijacking!

I use any essential Tea Tree oil - currently I see it's on offer on the SD website. I got the latest one in Savers, think it was £1.99 for 10 ml.
Add it to the shampoo in your hand - a couple of drops, no more, and mix it in on the palm of your hand. Works a treat for me.

I'm on here instead of painting I keep putting off going and starting and I have no reason not to other than the fact that I'm sulking because I don't want to have to paint it I want DH to do it and he's left my least favourite colour here and has the other 2 pots of paint still in his car. I have the alternative of ironing. Yay for me

Morning all

No UU's to report - nearly at the end of a SPF moisturiser though!

Have been updating my CV ready for my careers advisor appointment tomorrow. (Getting a sinking feeling when I think about it and my CV looks rubbish) I just don't want to be fobbed off again and told I'm umemployable. All the advisor will probably do is give me a list of phone numbers of other people to talk to. . I know I want to ask about voluntary work (which area would suit me???) and also agency work and maybe see about doing a typing course (although my speed is quite fast anyway).

If I get a job, I can hopefully get my own car (will need refresher lessons first haven't driven for years and years -long story_pale_) but more importantly there will be less strain on my relationship with DH. Every argument is about me not working now the kids have started school -and that I do nothing all day blah blah blah.
What I wouldn't give for a job right now:wall: -but DH also wants me to fit around his work and his hours and be there for the family such as taking the kids to and from school, meals on table etc (I haven't got my Mum or MIL since they passed away and my Dad would not manage to help out regularly.) Just don't know how I would juggle it all and keep everyone happy.

Sorry for the rant - but feel I'm stuck in a huge rut and feel on such a downer -nervous, agitated and crying all the time. No bloody wonder I've bought so many toiletries is there - but will not comfort buy today.
Hope all is well with everyone and Vivh, hope your dog is on the mend.:)
