    Just had Dove post this on my fb page. Obviously haven't met us lot then :rotfl:


    If you haven't started spring cleaning yet, why not start with the bathroom cabinet. According to the Unilever Beauty in Numbers Report, the average British woman is hoarding an impressive collection of over 46 lotions and potions. What have you got hiding in yours?
    I think I can safely say I have at least 46 lotions. I also have numerous other potions :D
    Have done a list, just need to get round to typing it up now, so I can share it with you!

    Hope it all goes smoothly with your flight, Charlie. Maybe if we all look at the sky and blow really really hard we can send the cloud off in another direction for you? :rotfl:

    Hi everyone

    3 UU's:j(and no IN's):A
    L’occitane Rose Nuit de Mai Bath and Shower Gel 250ml
    L’occitane Lavender Bath and Shower Gel 75ml
    Decleor Aromessence Iris Serum 15ml

    Really pleased I'm getting through my stash. Generally having more baths than showers at the moment so using up stuff much more quickly.

    Will go back and read the last 8 pages now to catch up!

    Bye for now

    A UU:
    Lidl almond shampoo- I think they may have changed the formula- it's so much runnier than before. I love the smell but i wouldn't buy it again because it's too liquid!

    My Boujoius (sp?) blusher has also finally given up the ghost- i think it's 3 and a half years old with nearly every day application. How very MSE!

    One UU for me today-my sample Clarins facial moisturiser- its the longest 5ml i've ever known!! lovely stuff though, but couldn't afford to buy the full size tube.

    A few more splutterers though, should have a few more things to report in a few days time!

    Two unintentional ins-one BS shea BB and one M&S body polish that i'd forgotten i'd left at OHs mum's place. Only a slither left in the BB so that should be gone this time next week!

    Oooh this is fun (how sad am I?). :A



    Forgot to add: Did anybody get the free packet of nivea fragrance free face wipes a while back-FB freebie? or has anybody tried them? Does anybody think they are slightly dry?

    I love this theory - it reminds me of the one that says if all the sheep in New Zealand jumped in the air at the same time it would cause....well....something! :D Charlie try not to worry to much though - I was going to say hopefully it will all blow over by the time your flight is due to leave, but rather feel that might be seen as being flippant! :o Have a wonderful holiday!

    I did, in fact they were my most recent UU I think....I didn't particularly notice them being dry I must admit - thought they were OK, particularly the fragrance-free-ness of them, but nothing that special.

    Thanks guys :)

    Im feeling a bit more positive about it now, found a concentration map of the ash cloud and at the moment it shows the prediction up until 6am (flight is at 6.10 :p) it shows that by then the entire cloud should have just gone the other side of Bristol so the plane should be ok to leave but regardless the map shows that the thicker not so safe stuff is right up the top end of the country so should hopefully be fine :T


    Also BYYYYYEEEE as I shall be going to bed soon and try and get some sleep before tonight
