    I'm a fan of this too!
    :D and me, I got it with a glitch a couple of years ago with a magazine voucher, ;) I use it after gardening as it really cleans the ingrained dirt and leaves my hands nice and smooth. I could use this since my S&G Flake Away has only 1 use left before its a UU
    Life is a coin, you can spend it anyway you wish, but you can only spend it once.
    Go as far as you can see, and when you get there you'll see further.

    3 UU's today (well 2 are small ones but hey!):

    1 x Garnier Herbashine Hair Dye Shade Red Mahogany - WNBA, this is the 2nd one of these I've used in same shade and this one is so not red! It's more brown unlike the first one. Also it hasn't covered some of my greys either :( Need to find a new hair dye, only got this one cos it was on offer.

    1 x sachet of Nivea Pure & Natural Body Lotion (4ml) - WIBA? nice smell but I'm more a body butter gal. Also not much in the sachet, normally get 2 applications out of sachet but only one from this.

    1 x Biore Ultra Nose Strip - WIBA? I like these (kinda wierdly fascinated by them!) but only used this as I found it whilst clearing the bathroom when I was waiting for the dye to work. Probably won't buy again as they are expensive.

    Need to take my nail varnish off but only have a little remover left so may go buy some more if I go out later

    Hi Everyone!

    I havent been on the site for months and months, i think the last no buy toiletries thread i posted in was about February lol :rotfl:

    Some of you may remember the photos i posted of my massive stash, including about 50 Liz Earle items and about the same in bath and shower gels :eek:
    Since then i have gradually been using my hoard and even sold some new bits on ebay adding to my fund to save for my first home :D

    I have continued NOT to buy things i dont need and i havent bought anything from the various Body Shop glitches etc, even though its one of my favourite beauty shops :o

    In fact the only beauty things i have bought are daily things like soap, toothpaste etc and some Liz Earle bits for my Dad for fathers day.

    Its lovely to see my stash disappear and creating more room and above all saving me money for more important things :j

    Good luck to you all :D
    Saving my pennies for my wedding on 10th August 2013! :D :j

    Hi ladies, I haven't been on in ages!Hope everything is going well :)

    Three UU:
    A small bottle of shampoo, no brand. I'll wash the bottle out and save it for my jolly holiday in Berlin :D:D
    Avon shea butter foot cream- I would buy it again as it was so moisturising but i'm not sure they make it anymore.
    Thai spa lotus and orchid body lotion- WNBA as it wasn't that moisturising.

    hiya girls nice sunny day here today, need to dye my hair wanna do it red any ideas for a nice red hair dye,

    uu- bodyshop jolly orange bb wnba smelt vile.

    2 ins 2 lots of the garnier 14 day trial sachets

    :wave: I used to use Feria when I was red, but that was years ago. My friend uses a Garnier Nutrisse one that she's very happy with, but I haven't used that brand myself yet. (because I'm being good and using up my Perfect 10s and Root Touch ups first.) But I stick to boring brown these days for easier upkeep.

    he asked if I would be here when he gets home...if only

    DS3 going to cheating committee on tuesday and am so worried about him so didn't really need a bad day here.You can tell I am fed up as can't even be bothered to look at sales!!!

    Evening - Just caught up from the posts from the weekend.

    Nothing in or out to report......

    Not much to really say....went out Friday night, went for dinner and a few drinks after. Didn't really drink that much but OH ended up saying he felt pretty drunk, got home and a fight ensued - litterally no idea even why :huh:
    I ended up with a large glass of water poured over my head - as I was lying on the bed at the time absolutely everything got soaked:mad: So I took to hitting him with my soaking wet pillow (in all fairness it was soft....)
    He eventually came and apologised though which in all fairness is something he has never done in all the years Ive known him.
    Ended up having to put towels on my side of the bed just so I could get some sleep, still a bit damp now :(
    Hey ho, put it down to a stupid drunken thing and we're fine again now anyway...
    Car on the other hand is not..Its proper sketchy and every time we turn left makes this terrible noise like something is scraping. His dad had a look at it today and thinks it might be the suspension so that's going into the garage on Tuesday....

    I am REALLY confused....I asked OH to put some money into my account for the DD's due the other day but he forgot to do it, I panicked as it was the day they were meant to go out so I did it myself that morning but the DD out was already listed on my bank statement. The thing is I only had £26 in the account and the DD was for £50. I paid in £82.99 to cover the next DD too which went in immediately. Now my bank balance is showing at £72. I can't make the figures make any sense but its saying my £50 DD has been paid! Think im going to have to ring the company on Monday to confirm they really do have my money

    Found out yesterday a band we like is playing in Cardiff in August - saw them back in '09 at Reading festival but always good to see people at thier own gig. Didn't even realise they were doing a UK tour as they are a lot bigger in the USA than over here. I imagine they are over here for the festival season though. I was in to them back in the day when I was a lot younger (like 12!) but they are still fab (and theyve been going 14years), but I can see us now being some of the older audience :o Anyway OH just checked to see if there were tickets left and there was so he's paid for them for us :)

    OH is making bacon and pasta carbonara tonight so Im looking forward to that :D and we have left over cheesecake his folks gave us for dessert...mmmmmmm

    I always use the Schwarzkopf Live Colour XXL - they do loads of shades of red. I tend to either go for either Red Passion for a brighter red or Cyber Purple for a darker one....
