Thanks for the thumbs up on the Compeed lovelies. I've been using it for a couple of days and it seems very similar to the Scholl in texture andseems to be doing what the Flexitol did so woooo! :j

I've got another UU or two to report.

UU Yes To Tomatoes Shower Gel 500ml. WIBA? I was given this as a somewhat belated Christmas present and it's fine. I'm not in any way excited about it but it does the job, doesn't irritate my skin and doesn't contain many of the chemicals I try to avoid. My husband doesn't worry that it smells girly. (It just smells gently fresh, fruity and spicy.)

UU Yes to Tomatoes Daily Volumising Conditioner 500ml WIBA? This was also a gift. I have a bit of an aversion to pink goo (or blue goo, or any colour goo really) I worry about what chemicals they've had to put in it to make it so perfectly and evenly pastel pink. I want stuff in my conditioner that makes my hair look pretty - not stuff that's only there to make the product look pretty!

Having said that this is a fine every day conditioner. I might buy it in the future if it was bargainous.

I've got Yes To Carrots to use next!

Hope you're all having a great day. :heartpuls

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



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

I did order the primer and will def give feedback when I have tried it out. I did buy the SSS spray for camping, last summer I was nearly driven mad by bugs but they didn't bother the rest of the family, everything like that bites me.

Re. greedy people on MSE, just this week there was a tesco glitch on the grabbit board on those little bottles of wine (1 glass size), you had to buy a minimum of 8 then add in multiples of 4, so 12, 16 etc and one person said they got 400 bottles from one store. That is very greedy, I wouldn't have thought they would have had that many bottles on the shelf.

Afternoon all! Some UU's to declare Tesco Vit E wipes WIBA - Yes I would they did a good job for the money. Got a sample pack of simple ones next.

UU Elemis Cooling Eye Gel - WNBA Its refreshing but I dont think it does much else. Got one more tube to get through!

UU BS Enlivening body gel with ginger and some other jollop in it WNBA - got this is in a set couple of years ago, it wasnt very enlivening much prefer BB's.

Well got back from town and it looks like Im on the naughty step

Went to Bodycare for deodorant for OH, ended up buying another Tropical Baliste - in my defence I NEED some more, only have the horrible Boho one left and the smell makes me feel sick, wanted to have nice hair on holiday Also bought some cheapy razors to do the bits my epilator can't....

Then went into Wilko to get some batteries for OHs digital camera as he's not taking his SLR on hol, ended up having a browse at thier reduced section - left over mothers day stock which I bought....One was a little set in a metal stand containing hand lotion and hand wash 75p figured it was cheaper than buying handwash on its own even if its a bit girly for OH. Also they had a bath set for £1 with a small body butter, shower gel, a little sponge and a bottle of bath crystals not that I can use them as I dont have a bath but figured for the price it was too good to miss - felt a bit smug really because they had thier original price stickers on, then sale stickers saying 25% off which should have made them £3.75 and then the SEL with the current price....

Came home with everything on OH's list except breadsticks he said he'll impose a fine for them :rotfl:


Tried to go to the Docs this afternoon, out of tablets and need to get a new prescription but the door was locked...Shouldn't have been and there was no signs up.....so annoyed about it


Off topic has anyone been watching that 'Young, Rich and Househunting' programme on bbc3 :mad: wow it amazes me how immature 'rich' people are, for those that havent seen it, its mainly 18-20somethings buying ridiculous priced properties (500k-2mil) which in itself annoys me, secondly they havent worked for that money at all, its all 'mummy and daddy's' so they have NO concept of money....One kid (18) got a 3 bed terraced house in rural gloucestershire, cost something like £650k :eek: A 25yr old wanted to buy a £1mil 1 bed flat in London - surely common sence should say thats ridiculous, it wasn't even very nice, just a bog standard flat IMHO.....
One of them said they were going shopping to kit thier house out, with a budget of £10K - that got me and OH :mad: We spent £600 on our place, infact the cinema system he wanted to buy cost more than all our furniture put together....
I used to like BBC3 but nowdays the programmes on there just frustrate me - either pregnant teens or rich kids these days...

sitting in the corner using up products but nothing finished to report , trying to finish a eye-shadow using it everyday , it wont end haha !!

Its an eyeshadow..... it will never end.....:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Thanks for the advice on Avon, I put my order in for a eyeliner (never had one of these before) and another foot souffle :A:A How comes the SSS stops bugs biting? I've got scars from where I was bitten last year....

Know what you all mean about the greed, I thought the Tesco DTD was getting out of hand, I never got round to having a bash at it.... To be fair, I dont tend to look at food and drink grabbits (prolly why i'm always on the naughty step)

Quiet night for me tonight, might get my book finished.. OH been and had a tooth out, his face looks really sore, but he says he's still off into work :eek::eek::eek:

I suppose its pretty good we went for the all inclusive then, hopefully we won't need too much cash was thinking around £100 for the week....no idea if thats realistic but its over 200TND which sounds a lot Seeing as we're staying on the beach (not litterally YKWIM) its not like we have much travelling to do and all watersports are included in the price Infact after our hotel its just 2 others - just goes to baron land after that, it looks a bit wierd on google maps as the road totally stops....

Apparently they have desert foxes and horned vipers and apparently everything is written in Arabic and French - I don't know either I was sad and sat in Waterstones reading the travel book - stolen knowledge!...
Im hoping to see some camels although Im not sure if I will...
I do really want to go NOW!

Actually am having a bit of a crisis about my exam on Monday - well after the exam....we're meant to be going out for a meal afterwards, including our lecturers and we've booked a table at a fancy place, then everyone is meant to be going out into town for drinks...So so frustrating as I have no moneys and I don't know what to do..thinking borrow £10 for food off OH and then drink water all night?

OMG!!! I just pulled up a mid-month statement for the gas/elec....19days into the month and we've used......£7 worth of elec and gas :eek: How the hell is that freaking possible? - Just updated it with a slightly higher meter reading for the electric and the total charges have gone DOWN to £5! Only thing I can think of is that its using my credit amount but then that makes no sence because Im already £80 in credit and Im paying £60 a month DD for £5 of usage? No sense because then next month I go to over £100 of credit....

Oh and to top things off....my phone has broken

Evening all

One IN to report. Morrisons Cocoa Hand Scrub, it was reduced to 43p so was a bargain! And I've wanted a hand scrub for awhile

UU a 75ml tube of Clean Mary. I have another in the stash so no need to buy again but I wouldn't anyway. I'm not impressed with it, its very drying on my skin
I also UU Lacoste pour Femme perfume. WBA, its gorgeous, but have nearly 90 others so it'll have to wait
