Rosemary if it helps put it into perspective your £73 is roughly 3 weeks to a months "disposable income" for me! :eek:

:rotfl:in my defense I live an hour away from the nearest town and only go there maybe once in 2 months so tend to spend a lot but not very often rather than a little all the time if that makes sense?

I've got a few pages to catch up on but have popped in to declare three uu's and two ins. I bought Harper's Bazaar to get the Leighton Denny nail polish - I had a voucher to get the mag for £2 otherwise I wouldn't have bothered. I got the Viva La Diva colour which is a reddy orange.

We've uu an Arm and Hammer Advanced White Sensitive Toothpaste and I've bought a replacement from Poundland. In a day or two the Colgate Total Advanced Whitening Toothpaste will also be a uu.

I've also uu a BS Satsuma Shower Gel. WIBA? Yes, I like fruity shower gels but not fruity smelling body lotions.

I didn't have time to declare the sum total of uu's and in's for June and so am recording them here: 12 uu's, 14 in's - oops, must do better in July.

I use the conditioner that I took when I stayed in a hotel and use this to clean my mascara brush with. The conditioner is also great to use as a shaving cream.

Another UU for me. Superdrug Naturals Coconut & Shea Butter Body Polish. WIBA - Maybe. I'm waiting to see what my Body Shop scrubs are like before I make a decision.

& 1 IN - Revlon's Scented Parfume Nail Polish in Ocean Breeze. I love the shade and I'm hoping I'll love the smell too, lol!

Looking at BS sale stuff... I want some stuff but I can't afford the delivery too

I'm always so tempted to go onto the Superdrug website and order stuff. :eek: Thankfully temptation hasn't got the better of me yet. *phew*

Not feeling great today. It's TOTM and the M.E is royally kicking my butt.

BUT:

Tomorrow I'll be getting a wheelchair that someone on the forum is kindly letting me have so hopefully I'll be able to go out and do more things (just need to continue battling the anxiety and panic attacks first *rolls eyes*).

Also, haven't bitten my nails in a couple of days. It's an achievement for me. Going to paint them soon.

I started off today with good intentions but just could not resist. I have my first UU today which is dove visible effects body lotion. WIBA - No, i found that it leaves my skin sticky, i don't like the formulation and although the smell is pleasant it is not as nice as some others in my stash. My updated list:

Walked past some people having fish pedicures in Durham on Thurs. I'm so pleased you enjoyed yours. They were all sat in full public view, I would hate this aspect of it!

Small Non Bought In. An Olay Wake Up Wonder 7 ml sample that I deffo didn't order, but it's arrived. Others on the Freebie thread reporting the same. No complaints, as I really like this. Putting it to one side for weekends away.

The bit I bolded is the most frustrating thing! - there is one woman there, she's been there a month and had NO experience in the role before. She was asked on her first day to be perm, another girl was asked on her second day - which is why its so frustrating because Ive pretty much done the job before anyway and the still won't give me an awnser but were bloomin quick to offer other people. I had an email from the agency today reminding me about submitting my timesheet so I might reply along the lines and mention Ive been offered something else, at least that way she might contact the company directly....

I see what you mean now. The only thing I'd say is that I'm coming across more temporary jobs being advertised than permanent so it seems to me that employers are not willing to stick their necks out and employ people properly yet. It could be a matter of budget for them because they will have to pay the agency an introduction fee when making any of their candidates permanent.

I do know how you feel though. On my first day in this placement the Manager said she was looking for someone permanent as she did not want to "invest too much time" in me if I didn't. I said I would be looking for something permanent but then the Election happened and due to all the job cuts (I'm currently in the Public Sector) there are no vacancies anywhere. I think I've only managed to stay in that placement due to two other team members being on long term sick.
