I know Vic - that's why I am struggling not to buy it! :eek: Glad to hear your friend's funeral went off so beautifully and that the flowers were as you'd hoped.

my treseme shampoo is finally spluttering, i'll bet there's only one more use in it, though i've been thinking that for the past 3 or 4 times that i've used it lol.
had some reflexology today, it's was lovely, and it was free because it was a voucher i was given for christmas. I have one more to use, so i will use that wisely.

The Nicky Clarke Hairomatherapy Heat Defence Spray spluttered its last this morning! :T WIBA? I doubt I can - it's so old it surely MUST be discontinued?!

:rotfl: I've still got one of these somewhere :eek: I wonder if it still actually does anything or if it's like using water it's so old?:rotfl:

Thanks ladies! I was worrying about being wasteful you see. I'm so glad i'm not the only one who uses it every day.

I find it really funny that some of you say that BB is a winter item- I use it all year round, particularly because I like the fruity smells and I think they're better for summer.

Oh but it isn't a waste if it makes you feel good

Well, unless you're using buckets of an expensive version anyway :P


According to a brief survey conducted by my nose a few minutes ago.... mango smells like summer, moringa like spring and cranberry like autumn/winter I think cocoa butter's wintery too

Sadly the smell seems to have faded from my papaya one The matching lip butter smells yummy but the body stuff's just a bit plain.



Happy Birthday to Lemon Tree

I have news ladies, went to see the new TV show "Penn & Teller: Fool Us" being recorded last night, I was 3 rows back and 3 seats in from the centre on the right; practically sitting behind Penn and Teller!! It was amazing! Maybe dreading watching it back though as I'm sure I look like a goofball laughing my head off, lol
Anyway, this makes 3 more (kind of) CTF Jonathon Ross (who hosted), Penn & Teller. Jonathon Ross was HILARIOUS!! He really got stuck in with the audience, very down to Earth =]

Then today I went to have a photoshoot done with one of my mates, which was immense! Had my makeup done in smokey black so my blue eyes really really lit up (if I do say so myself!). I now OFFICIALLY have no money though (until Friday), owe my friend £80 tomorrow (from savings =[), and will be paying £20 a month for the next 18 months (until I get a job and can pay it all off in one go hopefully). We both bought 13 pics (26 in total) =s it came to £1120 as we got a half price package (for haggling) and 2 of the pics were free!! We got £200 off for recommending 120 people, and we paid £100 each for a deposit. Apart from the price, I'm really impressed with the pics, I took my combats and got 4 pics of me in them as I do alot of Help for Heroes charity work so I thought these could come in handy for advertising (if thats the right word?). I also do alot of military work anyways as my dad is ex-military and has 3 military vehicles that I command for, which we take to the War and Peace show (Beltring, Kent) and the Bunker Bash (Brentwood, Essex) every year =]

Anyway, the long and short of this story is, I have no money. I literally have reached my overdraft limit, which in fairness is only £200, but however, this does motivate me to not buy toiletries lol, so no ins for me (yay!!)

£1.19! - that was a great price - this is def an HG product for me.

I have this as well and I love the smell of it (didn't at first though - it is a very strange smell - sort of chocolatey mixed with tobacco!). My problem with it is its too much hassle too use, I hate getting my hands all greasy applying it.

Hi all. Have just caught up with all the posts. Can't seem to get near the PC these days. In the am I've been doing Wii Fit but my back's aching today so am having a rest from it. In the evening MrM has been hogging the PC due to PSN being down. Now that it's back up and running his PS3 has died. Hopefully he will buy a new one this weekend so I can have my surf time back. I'm finding it difficult to look at lunch time at work as well because as soon as I sit down to read someone starts talking to me.

Anyhoo. my last post mentioned me going into Boots for a birthday present for Emma's friend. I did succumb and buy some things but refuse to go back to the naughty step just yet as all the items were needed. Bought 3 x Batiste as it was on 3for2. Emma only told me that morning that we had run out. Also bought some exfoliating gloves as I was down to my last one! These are like socks in my house and I never seem to be able to keep a pair. I let Emma use one of them for an art project (using different textures) and my last one may have dropped down the back of the bathroom cabinet. I also bought a new sponge bath lilly thingie as ours was very old. Also bought Emma the bottle of Impulse with free Barry M lipgloss as she uses Impulse. The girl is becoming more high maintenance than I am.

Re: the Ojon treatment. I don't like the smell or the greasiness of it but don't think I could bring myself to throw it out. Do like the results I get with it though.

An OUT for me also : the free Nails Inc Electric Teal lacquer. Don't like it nor does Emma so it's being donated to a friend at work.

Lastly no UUs but my Amazing Grace body lotion is seriously spluttering and will be gone in the next couple of days.
