A UU Lush rub rub rub WBA as think it comes in a tub rather than bottle now...too difficult to get out the bottle through. Can anyone recommend a good body scrub? I like S&G breakfast scrub but dont want to be spending that much say a fiver max but all the ones I've tried aren't scrubby enough:(Debt free and busy treating myself:)
No more toiletries/make up until I've used what I've got stashed since Jan 2011, graduated October 2012. Restocked Dec 13..damn those sales0 -

I love the raspberry ripple shower gel, smells better than the regular raspberry one for some reason, or maybe it's my imagination...
I keep calling it that!!! It's actually It's Raining Men. But it smells like HIWTK. It was out for Valentines Day.0 -

I'd definitely recommend scrubby gloves - you can get them in supermarkets and pound shops/Home Bargains etc. for around £1. They're really scrubby and you can use any showergel you like with them. They last ages, I've never had one fall apart and you can just pop them in the wash to clean them.
I have TBS Shea scrub and it leaves an oily (and very slippery!) film over my shower. :mad: It also seems to dissolve away when I'm using it so not very scrubby!0 -
Hello ladies,
Lynseydee - belated congratulation to you & your hubby, hope he's now also as excited as you.
xoxo - love your nails, will have to give that marbling effect a go.
mingle - so sorry to hear about your car, what kind of lowlife does something like that.
I have some more UUs:
M&S cotton collection bath foam 150ml, courtesy of my Mum. Discontinued so can't buy again, but she really liked it.
Balea hand cream 30ml - WBA, great travel size and cheap too
No7 Protect & Perfect hand cream 25ml. This was a GWP, WNBA as there was no real scent to it.
Alberto Balsam tea tree shampoo 400ml. WBA as this is a bargain product.
And the INs:
I haven't bought anything this month and was so proud, but dear old Mum gave me 6 M&S nail varnishes for my b'day (incidentally, same day as you EH). My nail varnish drawer is now officially overflowing.......
Have a good evening allDo nothing in haste; look well to each step; and from the beginning think what may be the end - Edward Whymper0 -
No INS or OUTS or UU's for me since the weekend :eek::rotfl:
Well I should have some INS tomorrow as I've missed 2 parcels which I presume are my 2 swapsies parcels.

Mingle - OMG your car, that is awful, what does tagged the ignition mean?
I would also recommend scrubby gloves, they really get your circulation going, also like someone else on here (sorry I can't remember who) I am a fan of Cyclax apricot facial scrub, it is scrubby enough for body use and is about £1 for a big tub, if you compare that to The Breakfast scrub you could get 9 pots of cyclax for the same price. It smells great too.
Some in's today courtesy of a friend -
Next just pink - hand cream, shower gel, body scrub and body lotion in a little cosmetic bag. She also gave my DD a mini BS strawberry shower gel, lip balm and a soap. She was very pleased but won't want to use them, she likes to look at them but won't crack them open because she won't have them anymore. Think she will be a member on here in a few years.The devil makes works for idle hands0 -

When they 'tagged' the ignition, it means they've kind of done their 'signature' near the ignition. For example half the shop shutters (and our wall at work :mad:) have been tagged by 'neet' :mad:

Thanks for the kind words about the car. £160 to get the rear window replaced which is a lot better than I thought it would be. Apparently acetone free nail varnish remover removes spraypaint, so maybe i'll have an out soon! VIVH- by tagged I mean a signature, like a street gang sign? It's what they graffitti'd across the back.
I too would recommend the scrubby gloves, even my BF loves them!0 -
