Yay great positive post there Charlie, fingers crossed for the job.
enjoy Weston super mare, i've not been there for decades, can barely remember it really. Hope you don't get washed into the sea with all the rain.0 -
Oh no, she won't get washed into the sea. It's beautiful here today. Lovely and warm, very little wind etc. I've been sitting outside in the garden in between different paint colours. It's lush outside. I'm pleased because DS is at the park tonight with beavers.
Charlie, if you go to get an icecream, there's an icecream parlour opposite the pier. If you stand at the crossing facing away from the pier, it is to your left. Down by the putting green. It's called PJ's and has a green surround and sells 20 flavours of Mr Whippy. It's very good value for money.
Enjoy your afternoon. If you're going for food, go to the Old colonial down towards the big arch on the sea front or for fish and chips pappas on the boulevard is supposed to be fabulous.
EnjoyI love living here

2 x UU's this morning - Mitchum Deodorant spray WIBA?this was a pink one I think and much as I swear by Mitchum I wouldn't buy that flavour again as it was a bit choking. Replaced with a roll-on from the stash
Also Arm & Hammer Whitening toothpaste WIBA? I LOVE the A&H toothpastes - however this time round signal whitening was on 2 for 99p in the 99p shop so I have that instead.
Splutterers:
Bubble Bath (Radox one)
Shower Gel (BS Satsuma)
Eye makeup remover (you don't need to ask!)
All of these will go in the next few days.
One small IN I didn't know about - OH spotted the Nivea promo team handing out stuff at Liverpool Street yesterday and grabbed a card with two mini Nivea Soft samples on it for me. Those will go in the travel stash. There were also a couple of 50p off vouchers which last to the end of the year so I'll keep those in case I decide to buy at some point. Certainly don't need to yet though. I also got my Boots offers through - the Summer Event next Tuesday would be of interest if I needed to do a stock up as 750 points on a £30 spend is a good deal - I really don;t though, plus next Tuesday is an Avon delivery day so I'll be too busy to head to a store anyway! Other than that the only really interesting one is 1/3 off shampoo/conditioner which I might use as it will bring the Alberto Balsam I want to try next to a lower price than even the 99p shop. I'll have to remember to see if the AC machine is still giving out the same offer though!🎉 MORTGAGE FREE (First time!) 30/09/2016 🎉 And now we go again…New mortgage taken 01/09/23 🏡

Had a bit of a weird experience last night, had a bath using Sanctuary bath soak and after i used sanctuary body butter on my top half and the matching body lotion on my legs. the body lotion is thick and hard to get out of the bottle and i ended up with a large blob on my hands, i rubbed it in and off I went. Two minutes later my legs were on fire, it was a bit scary and took a good half hour to subside. Later i looked at the bottle and it says the ginger root causes a tingling feeling but if it persists you should rinse off.
Skin didn't feel hot to touch but anyone with sensitive skin be warned, use sparingly although the packaging says use generously:eek:The devil makes works for idle hands0 -

I remember a while ago, I had this feeling, ended up jumping back in shower and washing it all off, I threw the lotion too.... I'll bear it in mind when I use the next Sanctuary body lotion in the stash....
Kaz - I'm jealous of you living near the sea, wish we lived nearer, its not too bad just over an hour away...
Charlie - Enjoy your afternoon.... What you going to do about OH's deodrant?:D
I've been looking at the L'Occitane offer too, I love the shea body lotion, think I might wait it out a while though, see if things come down cheaper - not sure whether to buy mum's christmas present now or wait til later in the year - decisions decisions...
Off to update my stash list, I keep finding things I didn't know I had!!!Challenges - repay all credit cards by end of 2015Starting the savings for retirement :rotfl:

One small UU today - a random hair conditioning mask sachet, can't remember the make. It was toffee sauna, and heated up on head, which was quite nice.

went on Occitanne website as sale is on and put stuff in basket but then closed it as all the stuff I chose altho half price set had lots of soap in and you all know about my soap mountain:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
now have a nice dish near sink in downstairs bathroom and have filled it with the soap from 2 bags of misshaped soaps which looks really pretty:)
also been on clothes sale sites but bought nothing:A:A:A:A
HOWEVER!!! did spend a bit(well a lot) online today as booked a special at my fav hotel for august....D,B&B (with wine) and 2 x 1 hour spa treatments all fro £200 which I though was very good(usual B&B on a saturday is £155!!!!
Also bought tickets for the opera in November...I know it is a long way off but only a small hall and I know will sell out,it is 3 years since the last opera came to town.
anyway it is a good job I am not buying toiletries:rotfl::rotfl:
had my hair cut and price gone up again...£18 for a trim that took 10 mins:eek::eek::eek:
hope all you ladies are well ,with a bit of luck I will be back to(?) normal for July:rotfl:0 -
Woohoo - another UU:j
It's yet another soft & gentle aromatherapy deo - already started on another from my stash and think I'm now in single figures for these deo's so might actually clear my deo stash by the end of the year:D
Since finishing my Time Delay night serum I've been using the S & G Wish upon a Jar and I can't decide if I like it or not - I think I'll finish the 21 day course and decide then :undecided
Wondering if anyone else has used the Wish upon a Jar as I'd be interested in your thoughts - how did you get on with it? would you use it again? and does it do what it says on the tin???????
Have a great evening everyone:beer:
