One UU this morning, Batiste Tropical Dry Shampoo - WIBA? I love the smell of this, but I do find I UU Batiste way quicker than other dry shampoos. Replaced by a cheapie Home Bargains own one.

Have two uu to report-

FCUK polished bath syrup - 75ml size and the matching whipped body cream. The cream lasted ages and both were really nice but I am fed up of the smell now, I have one bodyspray in this scent almost finished and one full one, then that's it.

Alanis - no you are not on your own with the glue thing, I like hot candle wax too, dip all fingers in, let it dry then peel off. Once I was doing this in a restaurant when the candle was still lit and i set the table cloth on fire:eek:

I have got this feeling sometimes too. I saw the date in your signature, you're doing great! Try making new products out of the old ones, or finding ways to use your existing stuff in a new way. Today I used my slightly too dark concealer to contour my face instead of a bronzer, it works great and I feel like I bought a new thing I also saw some videos on youtube on how to make a good cream eyeshadow out of your cheap, old pressed shadow.

I think petroleum jelly means vaseline, you can also use some body lotion you have

Oh no hun! Have you tried some gentle exercise? Seems to work for me, even if I just go for a faster-than-average-walk around the block with the dog, gets abit of energy pumping....

I does help sometimes you're right - I try (although admittedly not very hard ) to get OH to drag me out with him and Big Dog - but the pain this week is in my hip and I'm finding everything very difficult :mad: Roll on my appointment with the CFS/CPS specialists next month :T

(Little Dog I can walk myself but he often refuses to go - at the moment he can make it halfway round the block then he lies down and I have to carry him home :rotfl:)

Also, am I the only one who used to LOVE pulling PVA off my fingers/hands in art?? So much so that I used to purposely paint it on just so I could pull it off?? I think I'd love one of those masks!!

The masks are fun - until you have to peel it off your eyebrows :eek: :rotfl:

One UU :j

BS Wild Cherry Body Butter: WIBA? Definately! Love the smell and it goes on well. Didn't lose or change it's smell either like the cranberry one did. If they really are discontinuing I shall have to keep my eyes open at sale time

Have a great day y'all :A

A small UU here - a packet of cotton wool pads. The one I've just put half of into my pot is my last one too so I'll have to think about getting some more. Goodness, that was exciting stuff eh?!

I'll need to have a sort-out of my travel stuff ahead of the Beer festival coming up the week after next - I think I might do well to decant conditioner into a larger bottle than I'd usually take away with me though as I tend to wash my hair every day while I'm working there - it gets sticky otherwise with a combination of sweat & beer! I ought to get through another travel size shampoo though, and another shower gel too.

Isn't beer supposed to be good for your hair? You could save a fortune on shampoo and just get someone to chuck a pint at you at the end of the night :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Thanks for all the congratulations and Sarah I love that bunny

Keeping fingers crossed as hubby has a trial tomorrow for the job he's gone for. He's a one in four chance of getting it, which considering apparently there were 200 applicants is amazing.

Things might be looking up for us yet :T (although hoping not tempting fate by saying that )
