    Happy Birthday Dr_Roberto

    I won't be cruel and tell you about the stuff you've already bought that will be cheaper in upcoming books, but you can hold off on the Cherry hair stuff until Book 10 or even 11 as it's half price again then! ;)

    I thought I'd done quite well too - I didn't pay full price for anything :o:( Thanks for the heads up on the cherry stuff - I'll hold back :p

    One unexpected UU - BS Wild Cherry Body Lotion: WIBA? Have one in stash already. It's expensive at full price but would buy again when it's on sale as it's lovely and light for daytime and smells super :D It was unexpected as I thought there was a few more days left but it was fooling me by clinging to the sides with nothing in the middle :rotfl:

    Belated happy birthday Dr_Roberto


    I had no idea that MOP and Molten Brown were no longer on QVC. I also like to occasionaly get some sets from them but I must admit that I stopped watching before Christmas just in case I was tempted to buy. I still tune in for the Lulu Guinness Handbag shows though...

    Ayeshalush - I like the SBC gels in particular propolis and arnica which my kids call "magic gel".
    I have noticed that TK Maxx also sell some SBC products sometimes (as well as MOP which QVC no longer sell) and I bought about 5 or 6 handbag size SBC tubes for £4.99 a few months ago -worth keeping a look out.

    I too miss Molton Brown - the Xmas TSV's used to be fab - yet another brand gone to QVC heaven :(


    Note to self - must stay out of TK Maxx!!:D

    They are prob my favourites too as well as the aloe vera gel which is great for sunburn. Ohhhh, and the collagen gek which is geat as a cooling body lotion, ohhhh and..... ok I'll stop there:D!

    50ml ( I think?) TBS Mango body scrub- WNBA- it was pleasant enough but i'm going to carry on with my body brushing and exfoliating gloves.

    This leaves me with.....

    well done Mingle you deserve lots of gold stars for this. :)
