    Welcome Karen ! You're welcome to join right away - no need to wait until July!

    One small UU this morning - we've been to Cardiff for the weekend for the speedway Grand Prix and I finished off a Dove intensive repair Conditioner mini in the shower (a shower! Hurrah!) this morning. WIBA? Maybe - it is a nice conditioner and leaves my hair feeling nice and soft, but I found the texture surprisingly runny for a conditioner. If I needed a conditioner and it was cheap, probably yes though. Oh - best of all, the accomodation we were in last night was student halls of residence so no temptation there on the toiletry front!

    My 'Clean Girls' is finally spluttering! :j God i'll be glad to get to the end of that :rotfl: It seems like i've been using it for months.

  • One UU for me: iFoam shower cream. WIBA? No, only because I really disliked the scent. It's lovely and creamy though. It seemed to run out really quickly - I'm not sure if that's because before I was using a 500 ml shower gel. In which case, I may run out of shower gels faster than I originally thought!

    I've now got an Aveeno 400ml shower cream that's been partly used, a Lush shower jelly and Ted Baker 200ml shower gel left. I'll alternate the Aveeno with the shower jelly. :)

    I've uu an Avon Planet Spa Mediterranean Olive Oil Firming Chest and Neck Serum. WIBA? Yes, the area below my neck and above my boobs looked better after I'd applied this than before, but then this is the first serum that I've used and so I have nothing to compare it with. I've now got a Dove Pro-Age one to move on to - this was free with Woman & Home mag. last year.

    I've PY(T)NM with No 7 Rendezvous, a lovely shimmery pink. It will brighten up my Monday morning, along with the lovely sunshine. Hope everyone has a good start to the week.

    Sorry I haven't been on here for ages (again) - once again, I am feeling guilty for my Body Shop purchases. I've taken a photo if anyone wants to see the extent of my shame...

    On Friday I went for a skin consultation with Decleor. If you bring your voucher along from Woman & Home you get a free 15 ml facial moisturiser, a 5 ml night moisturiser, 3 serums and a 50 ml body moisturiser for just having a consultation. I was really good and bought nothing. Is anyone using Decleor? If so, what do you think of their new cleanser Aroma Cleanse? This product looks really good but when I asked for a sample of it they said that they didn't have any so I said that I am not buying a product for £25 without trying it first and felt like a really good MSE person.

    In June I also bought 2 samples of Glamour in order to get the benetint and the posietint. I have never tried them before and was really

    Decleor is sold on QVC and I really like the Hydra floral moisturiser but haven't tried the aroma cleanse. But the QVC website have tons of reviews of the product if you want to check it out:

    Two UU's
    MOP c-system hydrating shampoo and conditioner travel sizes 50ml each. WIBA -I love MOP but am using the c-system range for curly hair now which is really good and smells lovely.

    Still trying to book flights and have found a cheaper alternative £700 with insurance, check in and credit card fees included. BUT my DH is not giving me any help- keeps avoiding helping me arrange it and I'm not getting the blame if I mess up the booking.
    Now then can I ask you all .......if the flight is 6.55am when should you check in? About 3 am? With two young kids will it be a nightmare????
    I could get a three hour train to the airport the day before and stay overnight but then from what I can gather the airport shuttle bus starts running at 4am:(. My DH won't drive to the airport so I could look at a longer distance taxi service?
    ......I might just go to a travel agent and ask them to sort it because I am going round and round in circles.....

    My oh my! You ladies do chat a lot!

    I'm moving out of my place today/tomorrow so i've had my last shower in the flat- along with a UU: Baylis and Harding Lavender shower gel. Unlike the body lotion it was quite pleasant in a cheapy way. Wouldn't buy again though :)

    Bev - ring a few travel agents and save yourself the journeys, tell them what you want and what your budget is and see what they come back with, they know their job and might get a really good deal.

    Absinthefairy - wow that is some haul.

    sarah - hope you are not suffering too much today, very hot in yorkshire again today.

    My avon arrived today, oh naughty me, I have had two lots this month, anyway this is what I got today:

    Hairdye - in deep mahogany
    Minerals powder foundation - ivory
    true colour silky eyeshadow - misty mauve
    cherry daily hair refresher
    cuticle balm
    planet spa dead sea minerals hand cream

    I am looking forward to trying the hair refresher as i cannot get on with batiste.

    Have a good day everyone.
