2 UU's for me today:
- 1 x Nice & Easy Colourblend Foam hair dye in Dark Brown - WIBA? Yes works quite well, but isn't fully non drip! Like the colour.
- 1 x Morrisons Cocoa Hand Scrub 100ml- WIBA? Probably not. It was only 43p on offer so worth it for that price but it's not scrubby enough for me. Ended up using it as body scrub so that I could use it up quicker! Good point is that it didn't leave a greasy residue like some scrubs.

Listerine Anti-bacterial Mouthwash - WIBA? Yes, definitely. It left my mouth feeling extra clean and made my teeth looked whiter. I like the taste of it too.lol.2019 Wins

List updated btw - usual rules apply, pelt me with manky handcream if I've missed you off!
Charlie if the job you've been offered is the one I'm thinking of PLEASE don't take it - you are in every position to be fussy if the decision is taking a job which will rob you of all your self respect. Bide your time with where you are - it's all money in the bank whether perm or temp.
Unfortonutatly yes it is THAT one, but to be perfectly honest its kind of make or break time for us at the moment financially. We really need to be moving house, and realistically it needs to happen end of August kind of time, which means giving notice by the end of this month! of course unless I have a perm job that isn't an option, and especially with OH's job being uncertain past August I honestly cannot invest my time in temping because the hours that Im working etc mean I just simply cannot search for a job elsewhere/attend interviews etc. Ive had several employers now contact me and Ive now been put in such a situation that I don't feel like I can go one way or another. Ive basically laid it straight with the agency, they either give me an answer this week or tough luck if Im not available due to having to attend interviews and things - then its the company Im working for's fault, its not my fault theyve spent the time training me up and won't give me a straight answer. They'll just have to deal with it.....
If I don't have any joy with the agency speaking to the management by Tuesday Im going to just have to say to them directly that I literally HAVE to know what kind of time period this position is for because Im in absolutely no position to be turning down other jobs just on the off chance they choose to keep me on. I genuinely don't think its fair that Im the only temp in the whole company who has not been told what kind of length of time Im meant to be there for!
Generally not had much luck this weekend.....Went to cardiff on saturday and saw urban outfitters had a 75% sale, got a pair of boots massively reduced to £10 - went to put them on this morning and I only went and picked up one size 7 and one size 5 :mad: Can't get back there until next saturday to change them now either....
Also having a massive facial disaster....not really sure whats happened although I had a kind of similar thing happen last year.
Basically, last tuesday I had what was like a spot come up on the side of my nose at the top by my eye. Think its from where my glasses may have been rubbing. Anyway its been getting worse and worse, and its now swollen a massive part of my face. My nose has now gone totally swollen from eye to eye, its started swelling my forehead and now I look like Ive been punched in the face as my entire cheek under my eye has swollen up and is now red and bruised. Litterally no idea whats going on but my eye is now closing up and I can't properly see out of it, think I might have to go to the doctors on Tuesday if it doesn't go down

Another UU, forgot I'd finished my Olay aqua pjysics night cream. WNBA its really expensive and doesn't do much for my skin. Now I've reached £100, which was spent towards paying BF for holiday! Amazing how much stuff one gets through!Debt free and busy treating myself:)

1 UU for me today. Alberto Balsam Tea Tree Shampoo.
WIBA? Probably not it didn't work any wonders. I only bought it for dh as he was moaning about the Tresemme shampoo drying his hair out! I told him to use conditioner but he started moaning saying it's too much effort, lol.

Hi there everyone
. I've had a lovely day today. Started at the boot sale and DS bought a puzzle. We then came home for lunch and went off to BiL's for the afternoon. Sat out in the sun and listened to T4. Had a little barbecue and then came home at 5.30. I then strimmed the edges and mowed all of the lawn. DH tidied up inside and bathed the kids.
I went upstairs and had a lovely long pamper. Whilst the bath was running, I took off my old NV. Then I got in and had a good deep shampoo of my hair. I applied a face mask and put some on my shoulders. Then body scrubbed all over. Shaved all over and then got out. Then moisturised all over and repainted my toenails. I also applied some face cream which I've been really lax with.
I've UU my No7 Blissful body wash and a small panic when I went to replace it and thought that I only had one left. I'm OK though, now this new one's open, I still have 2 left. WIBA?: Well, I don't need to yet, do I?

I've uu a S&G Heel Genius, I cut the tube open and got a few extra uses from it. WIBA? Maybe, it wasn't anything special though.0
