saw this thread and thought id ask if anyones used the 3day frizz ease by john frieda and is it any good?

I use it and like it, my hair is fine, but wavy... although I agree with xoxo that it makes my hair feel 'funny'.... It saves me having to take my hairdryer and straighteners when we go away for weekends though

oh that reminds me ive decided to have a slight clearout with nailpolishes - is it worth posting them on fb? would any1 be interested in them? no7-pink grapefruit4ml,frosted pink 10ml,rendevous?,and a metalicy one the names came off, nyc-shade 217 which is a frosted pink-most have only been used a couple of times but i have over 70! nailpolishes many many many of which are shades of pink...

I'm sure some of us would swap our 'used' stuff if we no longer want it.....

Vics - Flowers sound wonderful!!

Kaz - Hows DS feeling now?

Charlie - Tunisia is covered by europe (and is in northern Africa) i've been (many moons ago) and it was very warm, would go back again. Whereabouts you going? We went to Hammamet...

Oh and talking of phones, i'm due an upgrade shortly, happy to post you my old phone....

I went into Lush in Manchester at the weekend - didn't buy anything but some of the stuff looked lovely..... Maybe in the year 2020......

HOW BIG IS THE SHOWER PUFF FROM S & G???? :eek::eek::eek: Had to use two hands to get a shower this morning..... But judging by how much shower gel I used, I prolly have enough in my stash now to 'Keep Britain Clean'.....

So my splutterers :T Ghost Body Lotion - WNBA - was free with perfume a few years ago, pretty runny and smell is overpowering, my feet look a treat though

Mint OS shower gel - OH uses this more than me, but WBA if its a quid.... Think i've another in the stash to use first though...

Sanctuary Body Butter - WBA love the smell of this, but... have more in the stash, along with several thousand other body butters :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Sally Hanson NVR - WBA - got another ready and waiting.....

Charlie - if you don't use your phone much then consider Tesco's PAYG - you top up by £10, and that is then trebled to give you £20 extra which lasts for 30 days (there is no expiry on the regular top-ups) so you get a months of free use (texts, calls & internet) and then spend your credit after that. I find £10 lasts me 2 - 3 months easily and I probably send more texts than you do, although I only rarely make calls.

Vicster the flowers sound absolutely perfect - good choice!

Either Hammamet or Yasmin Hammamet....OH wants to go to Hammamet (Sentido Phenicia) but Id prefer to go Yasmin because the hotel (Averroes) is part of a chain of 4 others in the area and you can eat dinner at any of them which I think would be quite nice also the one in Yasmin is about £50 p/p cheaper so to me seems like the obvious choice but he gets the deciding vote seeing as he's paying
The only thing is because there hasnt been many people going out there since all the stuff out there there are very litlle recent reviews to base opinions on...but most of them are mainly good (some people are so fussy!)

Keep checking the TC site because the prices keep constantly changing - they make no sence. A few days ago the price shot up to £450 for the same week but yesterday it went to £270 and today its gone up to £286. No idea whats going on with it! Shame really because we wanted to go the week later as its our anniversary then but the price is almost double so not really do-able

Kids finish school on 27th May so all holidays covering the week after that will be more expensive..... Its always the case.... It really winds me up, we can't take them out of school to go on holiday, but then tour operators increase the cost of holidays when the kids are off....

We cancelled our holiday to Ibiza for the week in August, as we feel it will be too warm for DD, so we're going camping to St Ives for the week instead!!!

Kaz2904

Hotel holidays are really so expensive in school holiday time aren't they . DH really wants to go somewhere next year but I don't think we can afford it. Perhaps if we hire a villa type thing then we could but not for a hotel.

juliebunny

Charlie, a holiday sounds like just what you need. i was there a few years ago - well probably many years ago actually. It was very hot. The hotel was lovely and we barely left it, if I'm honest.

Don't be tempted by the internet cafes they totally steal all your passwords - they must have keystroke monitoring or something.

Can we please all send you our travel items!!

Any Boots addicts?? :rotfl: fearne cotton just posted this on twitter...

My new makeup for this Christmas at Boots is looking gorgeous! So excited. New packaging. New colours. Yummy!

:rotfl: :rotfl: You would think after the "success" of last years (How many of us got hat boxes in the 75% sale just for the box? :rotfl: ) they would have dropped her :rotfl:

I wonder what Gok and Strictly are planning :rotfl:

Oh that is funny about Fearne! Is it bad that I'm already looking forward to the Boots Christmas catalogue....

I've just been thinking...I started my big bottle of 'Clean on Me' from the S&G Christmas tote box about two weeks ago, and I've barely used any of it. It's going to take AAAAAAAAAAAAGES to use. I think the fact that it's in a pump doesn't help either, as it really does seem to make a difference as to how long it lasts. My theory on how it takes much, much longer to use up a product than I think is ringing true. I will not be splashing out on products for a very long time to come!

Yes, I really thought that by now I would be well through my stash - aargh!! I've hardly used anything.....haven't even started on some of my large S&G products. Will that stop me buying their offer of the week this year - not likely :rotfl:

2 UUs - Britney Spears perfume - the blue one - did like it sadly cos she is such a blimp. Sanctuary small pomegranite and cassis from about 3 years ago sale 70% off - I adore this WBA.

OK, just done a count of my stash. I won't bother listing everything by brand name, etc as I would be here all day:o. Some items are not too bad and I can see a big improvement since I last did a count, but other areas are still a bit :eek:.

Me too.

UU's first
Batiste dry shampoo (blush) - WBA and already have
BD Mango showergel from gift set - WNBA as whilst I loved the smell I didn't rate it in the shower and used it up as a hand wash.

and the IN's
Lush Mango bath melt (I love this and treat myself occasionally:D)
Tigi superstar shampoo X 2
Tigi superstar conditioner X 1
Tigi superstar leave in conditioner X 1
(to be fair 1 shampoo and the ordinary conditioner are not for me - honest guv )
also found an OS mint & Tea tree shampoo behind the chest of drawers last night too - no idea how old it is so might give it DH to use

finally - splutterers
Sanctuary bath relaxer - only a couple of baths worth left
S&G iFoam body wash - possibly a weeks worth left
C&C blackhead clearing daily scrub - again possibly a weeks worth
Pantene intensive hair treatment - a couple of treatments left
Elvive nutrigloss light leave in conditioner.
