    Can't believe that we are 14 pages in already - I must catch up soon.

    For now - count me in for June, please!

    Sorry have dropped off the radar lately, lots of 'stuff' going on at both home and work that needed dealing with. Also the laptop was 'off-line' and TBH when I got home I was just to knackered to be bothered to go upstairs to the office and boot up the desktop. Just how lazy am I ???? !

    Off the top of my head I think I had 4'incidents' of the purchase variety in May. All were QVC related, two were auto-delivery. Both of these I had forgotten about, so on that basis I'm going to return them and stop the auto del.

    I will get around to reading all the posts - but for now hugs to all those needing them and hello to all newbies!

    Will definitely absolutely go to the GP tomorrow if I wake up awful again, I promise EH.

    Kaz EH is right. I really hope you sleep like a log tonight :)
    You better had! And... Hopefully not, I might get the sack :eek:.
    It's our 10th wedding anniversary now so hopefully he'll think of something nice to do. I don't really want him to buy me anything, I'd rather he volunteered to help me finish off the window frame or anything like that really :o. Apparently 10 years is tin. His friend at work suggested a tin of beans but he said he knew where they'd end up :rotfl::D.
    Right, breaks finished. See you tomorrow :)

    Forgot to mention earlier that I got offered free vitamins for hair from Amazon Vine so I'm on a 90 day course of horse pills. They are called HealthAid Hair Vit. Far too early to tell if they are having any effect, but I thought if I posted about them on here it would be an incentive to keep taking them.
    One effect was noticeable - bright yellow urine :eek: and I mean BRIGHT yellow. Apparently vitamin B can cause that.
    Watch this space to see if they work.

    I say night, but I mean when you're not working (digging out of hole quicker...) That is an unusual request. Kaz, you guys are opposites! It's like my dad when mum's away, he'll volunteer to come to Bluewater with me!

    :rotfl: I freaked when I started taking multi-vitamins more frequently and saw the super luminous yellow urine :rotfl: I told sister1 and she told me about it being because of the B vitamins, otherwise I'd had no idea it was related!

    Made an appointment with the GP for tomorrow. She said they have no appointments at all for today, I did try!

    LT It's funny you mentioned air pressure, I do tend to get normal type headaches with that. So does one of the guys at work.

    UU
    Beverley Hills Whitening Toothpaste - WIBA? I didn't buy this to begin with. It had been lying in my room for months, assuming sister2 bought it, so put it to use. I don't have a stash for toothpaste as such, I don't buy more than 3 tubes at a time and only replace when on last one. I do prefer to buy Sensodyne (when on offer), so will have to pop to shops by weekend. Got a small amount in a travel tube of Arm & Hammer to keep me going :)

    The new Bourjois polishes look so lovely! I think I have a problem... :rotfl:

    Hi guys!

    Really slow on the UU front although i'm desperately trying. I got the posietint and benetint today but these were planned and I also got an eyeliner from Marie Clare- i don't think i've bought make up since forever because there are always loads of magazine freebies! I', currently using the Body Shop one from a magazine promotion 2 years ago- craziness!

    Hugs to everyone who needs them!

    Quite annoyed that my subscription copy of Glamour hasn't arrived and the magazine is now out on the shelves. Normally arrives a few days ahead.

    My spluttering conditioner is now definitely on its last use - I thought it was going to go when I washed my hair this morning but it's lived to splutter another day.
    The hand cream is now cut open and sitting on my desk in front of me so I will keep using it - I've also just slathered some on my feet (working from home - not doing this in an office!) as once things like that are open I don;t like them sitting about too long so thought I might as well go to lengths to use it up quicker now.
    Noticed last night that my eye makeup remover is also down to the dregs so that will be a UU in a few days too. I think things are all going to run out in a bit of a lump over the next week or so! I also have a Sanctuary body souffle that's diminishing rapidly and am close to seeing the bottom on my foot cream, although that will be ages before it gets used though.

    Will face a challenge tomorrow as I'm taking my friend to the Boots Outlet - I'm hoping that there is nothing much there that ticks my boxes this time as if that's the case (unless I'm encouraged by her!) I'll be able to resist. Just looking in the bathroom cupboard now is a good incentive as there is masses of space in there! I don't intend to raid my stash-box until I actually need to as I'm running out of stuff in the cupboard. Got some nice S&G & BS stuff in there to go on with though!
