Why don't you try Next Diamonds? I've heard it is like Miss Dior Cherie.
I'm a big fan of M&S and Next perfumes, very similar to brand names but much, much chepaer :T

Have another IN a Time Delay radiance booster but it was free and actually Mr B paid me to buy it with the till spit and points coupon!

Thanks Asset, I'll have a sniff next time I'm in...might even go on the way home! It would be a good stop gap whilst I use up the other perfumes I have if nothing else.

Morning all

Just having five with my morning cuppa (no gym this morning ) taking Immy Lou to nursery to have a chat about her routine etc, i've been having second thoughts about working five days a week, so i'm hoping that i'll still feel comfortable leaving her at nursery 2 days. I've not been to nursery since last November when we went for a look round, so should put my mind at rest. (if not will be doing a full finance overview to see about losing some hours at work) I enjoy my job though

oh wilkinsons do glass nail files for about £1 and i have had two they are very very good for that price!

Thanks for that, I'll call in and get a couple next time i'm in town...

Yay :j The Ghost body lotion died a death!!!! WNBA (prolly cant anyway) feet feel nice and soft and its got me in the habit of putting it on before bed.... So onto my only foot product in the stash, an avon Footworks Souffle..... (this also means I can buy a replacement without a further trip to the naughty escalator!!! :rotfl:)

I'm looking in the Avon book at the mo (purely for research mind ) and i've been looking back at all the Avon advice.... (need to put my order in by 10.00am or i'll miss out, my lovely friend says) Couple of questions for next book if thats ok?

Vivh - I can't see a green SSS spray that keeps bugs at bay? Sounds fab for camping... Did you order the primer? I'm tempted but would like feedback, suppose I could ask my friend to back order it next time to get it at £6?

I'm tempted on the Planet Spa Shea BB too, but i've 3 BS shea ones in the stash, so can't justify just cos its cheap.... Really do like the jars though...

So might be just a new footworks cream this book :A:A

Hope you all have a fab no buying toiletries day

Morning...

Well yesterday I lied to OH, told him Id gone to town but couldn't find any chicken for dinner - truth be told I got distracted (epilating my legs lol) and lost track of time and never went to town at all needless to say I need to go down today instead. For any of you who saw The Apprentice last night, I now feel very much like a candidate with OH giving me a long list of things he wants me to get him including some roll-on deodorant for holiday which means Im going to have to go into toiletry shops He told me I'll be fired if I forget anything

Haven't heard anything about these Olympic tickets yet - highly doubt we got either we applied (canoeing and bmx) but suppose there's still time, would be pretty awesome to say you've been to it....

Been looking of Facebook and everyone from uni seems to be moaning about revising for Monday's exam :eek: Ive not even started, apart from not being able to remember anything I revise, Im currently stuck in holiday mode having to get endless loads of washing done, dried and ironed - Ive ended up packing OH's suitcase for him now because he says he'll leave it until the day before we go and I know him, he will suddenly decide he wants entirely different clothes which arn't washed so Ive figured Im not giving him the option.
Worked it out that we're going to have to have a quick few hours sleep when OH gets home from work Tuesday, he'll be home at 5pm and then I figure sleep until 11? Probably easier said than done.....Then Ill do some dinner, wash-up and then be out the door by 1am...
Holiday requires so much planning!


I have a random question and I wasn't really sure what board would be most appropriate to ask but wonder if you guys might know - the other day in Tesco the SA gave me a voucher for free entry to theme parks etc, it says on the back valid with one full paying adult but I was wondering if I bought Tesco Reward Vouchers for said theme park, would this count as one full paying adult and then I could use the voucher too?

GRRRR: This is why I should be in control of everything in our house! As OH didn't bother to sort the airport car parking out last week when he should have the price has rocketed now as its only a few days in advance....:mad:

Is it weird that I had a dream about going into superdrugs? It was a huge HUGE warehouse style place with pull out shelves. I had to buy deodrants. And that's all I walked out with!


Weird!

SSS spray is the "Soft & Fresh" dry oil spray - page 80 of Campaign 9 book. If you've not already ordered it though hold off as assuming your friend is on the same rotation as me it will be cheaper in the C10 book which is the next one!

I'm tempted on the Planet Spa Shea BB too, but i've 3 BS shea ones in the stash, so can't justify just cos its cheap.... Really do like the jars though...

Don't buy the Planet Spa BB at the moment - use those you have and when you need to buy I PROMISE there will be another offer as good, or maybe better! The current offer isn't anything like the best they will do - particularly running up to Christmas there will be Buy 3 Planet Spa for £* (Probably £7 I guess) offers on.

No UU's to report here today - and the splutterers are STILL spluttering! Even my BB will be taking longer to use up at the moment as I'm trying to remember to use Holiday Skin on my legs.

Charlie might be worth checking out if there are any buses running to the airport through the night from local residential areas to the airport? We're 11 miles from Stansted and have a one-an-hour nightly service - quite often we spot cars turning up for a week - usually on a Friday night - and leaving again a week later! I'm also glad you asked about the Tesco vouchers as I was wondering the same thing - if you can combine Rewards vouchers and those then I can see the London Eye beckoning again!

Whoever it was who was saying about feeling uncomfortable with the really "grasping" freebie hunters you find on MSE - I'm totally with you! My latest "grrrr" is all those whinging about Tesco discontinuing the DTD thing - can they not see that it's the greed of them, and others like them, which has spoilt this for everyone?! :mad: Same as when they stopped taking the vouchers - it was because a relatively small number went silly with it and started using £20 plus as a time!

I WON! A free cut and blow dry at a salon round the corner... Thing is, I'm too ashamed of my hair at the moment to actually go... xD

Go - If you're feeling carp about your hair it's probably the best time to go - congrats
