    I can't believe the no thanking thread! Anyway I have been over and thanked you guys for making a stand. Its interesting though that they must have taken the time to read this thread before commenting, I hope they found our tips and reviews helpful!

    Back to business a UU BS Passionfruit gel cleanser WIBA - Got two in the stash! Rediscovered this as I used it in my teens and loved it then and love it now so glad the BS brought it back! Am now using No7 age defence balm.

    Oh my! What a conspiracy-loving thread!!

    I bet they think that because they were never thanked as a child.... **eye roll**

    OT Can face wipes splutter if theres only a few left? Lol

    Also, I just wanted to thank (haha, although I probably alread have done) whoever suggested getting the BS Hemp Lip Protector, my lips are as smooth as a baby's bum (eww, maybe could have used a better analogy, lol) with no more occurances of chapped-ness =]

    Evening everyone,

    I haven't been on here for what seems like ages but thankfully the exams are over now and I can get back to some funstuff without feeling guilty :j

    I have only had a few uu's recently, everything seems to be lasting forever but I have uu'd - two boots own spray deodorants which I will never buy again - the amount of white fallout was unbelievable. The first time I used it I actually checked the ceiling as I thought the plaster was falling down :eek:

    Also uu a can of Elnett hairspray - this will definitely be bought again at some point, but not before Tuesday because for the first time since I started this challenge I HAVE NO INS :j:j:j

    I don't know if anyone else has seen this but it seems that our friendliness to each other seems to bother some folk :o

    I'm off now to catch up on about a squillion posts,

    hugs to all, xx

    Just had a look at that thread. I'm sorry, but what's wrong with us all being really friendly with each other, despite most of us not actually knowing each other, and thanking each other's posts.

    I'd rather thank a post than go to the trouble of having a rant over it :D

    Now how many of you are going to thank me ;)

    I have thanked you both. Just to be ironic really! lol. Got bored reading that other thread to be honest.

    Have been back over to that other thread now to thank the ladies we know and love from this thread. I have nothing to say to justify my use of the thank button but if there are any secret meetings don't leave me out will you??

    Back OT - I have 2 further UUs:-

    1) - the 50ml tub of TBS Dreams Unlimited body butter. WNBA although I have another one that I got as freebie. Not bowled over by the fragrance and it didn't absorb into my skin as per usual. To me it smelt similar to an old fragrance of theirs which was around at the same time as White Musk and Ananya - can't remember it's name but remember the packaging was blue. I much prefer Love Etc.

    2) bottle of Philosophy Amazing Grace fragrance. This is pretty good cos it means I have finished off the gift set of shower gel, lotion and fragrance all at the same time.

    Used up my free magazine Body Shop body butter, I might buy it again - in fact the magazine might still be on the shelf. In the meantime I've got a big tub of the Righteous Butter to get stuck into :)
  • Hooray, a UU - my Body Shop Cocoa Butter Body Butter. Would definitely buy again - luxurious, very moisturising and smells lovely. Now on to my Cowshed Knackered Cow Relaxing Body Lotion (the one I got free in a magazine). Rather apprehensive about this as I haven't heard positive things!

    I found the cowshed lotion to be quite runny, but quite enjoyed their shower gels. The fragrances can be quite floral - not necessarily to everyones taste

    Hey all,
    Long time no visit! No UUs to report but have a spluttering shampoo, conditioner, shower gel and body lotion - hooray! Only skimmed the most recent posts but the 'thank' grumblers made me laugh - they're clearly the ones who've been counting the thanks! :)
