    By 'too red' what do you mean? How red is it?

    I'm looking for a dark but bright red (IYKWIM) to dye my hair for summer but all the ones i've seen aren't red enough. But I don't want letterbox red :cool: I'm struggling! :rotfl:

    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...


    To be fair - Sam Twiston Davies (assuming he is the aforementioned 18 year old kid in Gloucestershire (he is the current champion conditional jockey) had saved up somewhere around £25,000 from his winnings (not bad going for an 18 year old!) that went into the house - and his house was £450,000.... (friends of mine watched it!!) Hes a nice lad - works very very hard. (so probably the only one of the kids on the show who actually KNOW what hard work is :rotfl:)

    anyway - to keep things on topic, Ive just posted out all my benefit lippys that I won on the flake offer - sold them all on ebay. also sold one of my nails inc polishes, and a load of clothes....

    so I have 8 OUTS, and still no ins. Flake away will be gone tomorrow....

    Oh - and someone asked how Red was (my horse for any newbies!) - shes grand thankyou very much - but looking a complete mess where she wont let me brush her. Ive got the farrier tomorrow, so will try to get her up a bit early and make her clean, will get some photos of her - shes 3 months in foal, and looks amazing under the dust !! :)

    Clinique 7 Day Scrub - WIBA? Yes, but it's too pricey for me these days. Very effective though, I'd forgotten just how much so! This was the dregs of a very old tube, and I have another in the stash.
    I really like this one too! I've decided that I won't be trying any others for a long time because I like it so much.
    Clinique Rionse off foaming facial wash - WIBA? Unbelievably ANOTHER yes! Not certain they still make it though, and again it will be a bit pricey for my pocket now. It's a lovely wash though, and just great for dry/combination skin.
    I like this one too! They do still make it. I used to use it all the time, but have strayed onto others (that of course I don't always like as much!). I am currently using a GWP size, and have another GWP in the stash, as well as a full-sized one :) This is another item I'm looking forward to using again!

    1 UU- soap and glory hot cloth cleanser this has been lurking for a while as i naturally prefer wipes for ease but am determined to get through my other 4 cleanser i have. might buy again it does the job but nothing special onto the liz earle one which is stashed somewhere.

    Q- does anyone have things they find difficult to use?? i dont think my problem is over excessivly buying things i can use its more latching on to all the peripheral products you never need but make you go ooooooo

    mine will be tanners/ treatments as they are not an every day think like face masks especially when you have a few of them and foundations i have about 12 and some dont last on my skin so its going to be even more of an effort to use them.

    what are your hard to use up items ?
    keep calm and carry on :rotfl:

    may toiletries IN- 7 UU- 13

    I'm sheepishly owning up again to not having moisturised when I got out of the bath this evening. I came straight down to continue sewing DD's dress. I'll try to remember to put some on when I go up to bed.

    I have to confess to buying *some* [cough] face wipes, er, well 6 to be precise. I took advantage of the Boots cucumber wipes glitch. I ran out of wipes earlier in the month and have been trying to make do without any but it's been difficult. I don't always have the patience at night (or I'm too sleepy) to remove eye makeup with eyemakeup remover and then wash the rest of my makeup off with facial wash which means sometimes Ive not bothered at all. I figured its better to add to the stash than go to bed with makeup on.

    To balance things out a bit, I've uu a No 7 Blissful Body Wash, which was very nice, and a Sunsilk Deeply Brunette Shampoo which used to be a HG but I prefer John Frieda now. Also, at the weekend I applied a Garnier Belle Color Luminous Brown Hair Dye. A bit disappointed with the colour and it hasn't done a great job on covering up the grey - it looks ok until I lift up my hair and I can see grey underneath.

    Hope everyone has a good day.
