    Afternoon all

    One UU and some freebie INs to report.

    UU 1 x Soft & Gentle Shower Fresh Deoderant - WIBA? Yep, it's a HG cos I like the smell and it's small enough to fit in my handbag too. That said it's been replaced by a bigger Tesco one for now that I picked up last month.

    INs - I subscribed to Instyle Magazine last month on an offer I saw I on here (6 issues for £6) and it came with a free Burt Bees Radiance set, which arrived today. Set includes:
    - Day cream 7g
    - Night cream 7g
    - Eye cream - 1.5g
    - Body lotion 15ml
    - Exfoiliating body wash 30ml
    - Campagne lip Shimmer 3g
    I also got a 350ml bottle of Radiance Exfoiliating Body Wash.

    I've never used Burt Bees stuff before. I'm thinking I may try Ebay the set, but keep the big bottle. Need to find out whether it will make any money though!

    Hey guys, just a quickie
    Me and OH are much better, except yesterday when he randomly had a massive go at me on the phone as he was being paranoid that I was bad-mouthing him to my friends. The rang me in the evening and brought up every argument we've had this year (a fair few!), just to argue about it again!!! **eye roll**

    Some unintentional INS;
    BYS black eyeliner
    BYS Pink lipsgloss
    BYS Bronzer
    BYS false eye lashes
    BYS silver liquid eyeliner
    BYS black mascara

    I went for a photoshoot with my friend yesterday and for recommending 100 friends I got all that stuff above (should have had a NV too, but I dropped my bag and broke it and they replaced everything except it ¬_¬) plus a bottle of bubbly, plus a £45 voucher for money off any pics I bought. I they'd given me more time I could have put 10 more names down and got a french manicure set and an eyeshadow pallette :@ :@ :@

    I'm worryingly low on shower gel now, only 3 100ml bottles plus a teeny bit left in another bottle but I have no shampoo so I use these instead.

    evening....

    Somewhat random but Ive just got back from the pub :p OH got home from work and said he fancied sitting in the sun in the beer garden with a bulmers, so we did :D times like this I love living almost right next door to the pub haha

    Went up to Cwmbran this afternoon to get stuff printed for OH - was so strange as I went there with OH well over a year ago but somehow this bloke remembered me, knew who my OH was and even knew where OH worked....Anyway we had a bit of a chat hes a nice enough bloke and he hardly charged me anything..... Should have been around £25 reduced to around £20 with student discount but I asked how much I owed him and said 'lets just call it a tenner' so very MSE :) Not sure if its because he remembered who OH was and just wanted repeat business or it was my womanly charms haha (Ill pretend the latter) but anyway a good deal.

    Grrrrr What is it with "charity" collectors - to be honest I have issues with door to door people anyway (actually got offered a job to be one and turned it down because I dont beleive in the ethics of it) and the fact its late enough but GRRR but what part of 'I have NO money' do they think is good to ignore? they are only wasting everyone's time.
    I said I had no money to give as soon as he started but he then continued to tell me it was fine if I didnt have cash on me now as he could set up a direct debit....NO. He then tried to continue to tell me why I should, at which point the only way I got him to leave was by telling him I was unemployed and unable to pay my own bills. It really annoys me as I shouldn't have to be hassled on my own doorstep and explain to a stranger my personal situation

    Had a small IN this morning - sample of a face cream from FB


    Oh and someone mentioned that in the Grazia mag is a coupon for benefit stuff (as opposed to freebie with the mag) does anyone know where it can be redeemed if thats the case. I highly doubt anywhere near me :/

    It can be redeemed at Benefit retailers, Boots, Debenhams or House of Fraser.
    Remember to get Grazia at WHSmith though...only £1 there! :D
