    Just incase anyone is keeping record, The Body Shop Raspberry Body Scrub also doesn't taste as nice as it smells :rotfl: :o _pale_

    Duly noted :D

    Congratulations Willow! :j

    Good news: I have finished the Cowshed Knackered Cow Body Lotion. WNBA - mega expensive, takes ages to sink in and an odd herbal smell.

    Bad news: I have started on a Lush Cosmic Dreamcatcher Massage Bar which smells even worse!

    Trudij I wondered where you'd got to! How's things with you?

    willow glad to see you've gone from the "I'm disappointed" of earlier to "Not bad" - well done! :D

    I noticed when updating my signature for NSD's earlier on just how long I'd gone without buying anything unecessary. I'm quite impressed (and surprised!) with myself! :A

    So... can anyone help??!!!

    Do you ever use Face Masks? I find they help me :D

    trudij - I was just wondering where you were today when I was talking to my mum about her horses (or horse flies to be exact - she's been bitten something rotten this year :()

    Re: Tesco's - I've been doing some mooching on the boards and I think I've done quite well with my £10 clubcard points - it seems the standard for complaining to Tesco is a £10 gift card - I've got £30 when I convert them to Reward vouchers. They're also sending me an official apology by post so I'll let you know what it says :p

    DD is with us this week as she's doing her work experience in town. She is driving us crackers :D She turned up on Sunday with the BIGGEST lovebite I have EVER seen on her neck :eek: :rotfl: and tried to convince us she'd walked into a door :rotfl::rotfl: She's gone to a friends tonight and we got a phone call off her mother and apparently she's grounded because she lost her blackberry and her iPod at a party last week :mad: Could of told us earlier :mad: She turned up without a penny on her and expected us to give her £5 a day for lunches because thats what her mother gives her :eek: Suffice to say she's got homemade sandwiches and can lump it :rotfl::rotfl:

    Quiet day for me tomorrow before I kick it up a gear for my weekend with my brother, pregnant SIL and nephew - I can't wait :cool:

    I only have the shampoo/conditioner I'm using and none in stock so don't feel bad about these. Not much I want in the new book but in the clearance book there is a gift box of 12 Planet Spa face masks for only £3.50 so I'll be getting a couple of those :o Thats for July's naughty step though :rotfl:

    I got these!!! One of them is a peel off mask - beware - I needed a hammer and chisel to get it off :rotfl::rotfl:the other two flavours are lovely though!!

    I've been good in June, went to SD but only bought some bobby clips so I could get a beauty card, couldn't see any 19p toiletries!!!

    Its pretty manic for me at the minute, working long hours and trying to spend as much time as I can with DD, and training for a marathon, i'll try to bob on as much as I can, love to 'hear' what you're all up to....

    No splutterers or anything as yet, looks like they're holding on into July!!!

    Take care all

  • Evening ladies, hope everyone is well.

    Just popping in to report 2 UU, probably my last for June

    Avon Skin so Soft body wash - WNBA, not keen on the smell, I much prefer a fruity shower gel. Have about 100ml left in another Avon shower gel so I will try to finish this before shopping in the stash for the next (and there's so much choice in the stash, I wouldn't know where to begin :rotfl:)

    Clinique Superbalm GWP size - WBA, in theory but no need since I have at least another 3 lurking from other GWP. This lasted ages for such a little tube! I used it as a lipgloss rather than a balm because it was a bit sticky.

    My UU for June are more than my Ins which is always a good sign!
    No more buying unnecessary toiletries 2018
    35 UU / 13 unnecessary ins

    SJP that peel-off mask does require a certain "grasp firmly, grit teeth, and pull!" approach doesn't it - like removing a plaster, best done at speed. On the other hand, would save money on facial waxing strips....! ;) :money:
