    Another couple of UUs, S&G Flake Away, had 1 use left and used it last night. Quite liked it although I know lots of people on here don't like it :cool:
    Cut the top off a Avon Skin so Soft shower cream, WNBA again as there was loads leftin it and I couldn't get it to come out, ended up cutting the top off carefully :p
    Almost UU - Dove cream gel, 'bought' through the heady days of Tesco's DTD :jthink it only had a couple of uses left.

    Got burnt today in the sun, off to put some cooling aftersun on it. :o
    Life is a coin, you can spend it anyway you wish, but you can only spend it once.
    Go as far as you can see, and when you get there you'll see further.
    Take time but don't waste time

    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 :)

    need to change that date to urm...yesterday :P:rotfl:

    Busy day in welshmummy's house today. Up at the crack of dawn to do a car boot - made £45.

    Also inventoried more of my stash - only 2 more cupboards to do before I can list it all for you to have a nosy at!

    Have done my first swapsies on the FB page - well chuffed, hopefully more will follow.

    Have just spent the last hour checking sites to work out food shopping for the week/month as I tend to stock up when I see a good deal. So off to Mr T's tomorrow with my list and coupons so hopefully will not be an expensive shop.

    Oh, and I have also listed more things on ebay and completed a musicmagpie order for all our old dvd's that we found in the loft.

    Off to bed now as totally knackered - night all

    Another 'been around for ages' UU. Just added the dregs of an OS Orange and Ginger Hair and Body Wash for Men to my bathroom handwash. That's about the sixth product of a vaguely matching colour to have gone into that handwash which was originally manuka honey and oatmilk. Goodness knows what it is now, apart from being quite an attractive peachy colour.

    WIBA? Well this one is a 'for men' that DS Craig didn't use for some reason. So no, but I do like orangey scents so may scout around for another orange themed scent sometime.

    Another UU this morning, ESPA's Essential Moisturising balm. I wont buy this one again. In fact I don't want to buy any products from ESPA again. Too expensive for the product you get.

    Absinthe Fairy, enjoy your holiday in Portugal.

    Have a nice week everyone.
