Thank you Rosemary54 and Fiasco55, I did not succumb to temptation. I closed the page. Thank you again ladies.
I will wait for the next offer.

1 UU today:
200ml HE soft and smooth conditioner, WIBA? Yes, I have 800ml in stock. Its probably my HG, but I did read some awful things about P&G and I feel bad about lining their pockets, I think i'll look for an alternative once i've used my stash. I am on to a 400ml HE beautiful ends conditioner.

4 OUTS:
1 Nails Inc. nail polish -ebay
1 Lush bubble bar- swaps
2 Lush shower jelly - swaps

yay! xx

Glad it worked for you It does get easier....

Hi LM, would bathing in a warm bath with bicarb of soda help? I was given this tip when my daughter had chicken pox and it really eased the itching.



Very wise. As mentioned before TBS offers are coming in thick and fast at the mo. They are probably the only company riding the recession I reckon due to all the offers they have on.

2 more UUs for me: 1 Dove deodorant - WNBA took too long to dry. Have replaced this with an Avon one. 2 Elemis Melting Cleansing Gel - have another one in the stash but WNBA after its use.

This is so true just now and the funny thing is I was thinking the exact same about M & S - every month they are having a sale. I don't buy anything from there now unless I get it reduced. A very slippery slope for a company to be on at this time....

There's even been a riot in my biscuit tin.
A Bandit called Rocky who was Crackers, hit a Penguin over the head with a Club,
Tied him to a Wagon Wheel with a Blue Riband, kidnapped Trophy and made a Breakaway in a Taxi. The police say Rocky was last seen After Eight in Maryland, Hobnobbing with a Ginger Nut.
Unfortunately they didn’t have a crumb of evidence so the Jammy Dodger got away

Hope the itching passes quickly and you are feeling better soon.





:eek: Don't do it ladies..........Think about :money: money saving mantras. Do you need it?, will you use it?, can you afford it? etc....stay strong and go and rummage around your stash and find something really nice to use as a distraction.

I have a freebie IN that I won on Facebook - a Models Own Lipstick. The colour isn't my usual daytime shades but it isn't hideous thankfully.

Do it:j:j:j:j:j

I will definitely try this but not for a while. At the moment I still buy LE C&P for Emma but once she has finished the current bottle I'm going to try this one. I'm actually really enjoying using TBS Aloe cleanser at the moment. It is very creamy.

A couple more UUs:-

Boots Extracts honey body butter. These are lovely but the travel pots are way too small. Don't last long at all.

L'Oreal make up remover - already replaced.

My Daisy perfume is spluttering. I removed the pump yesterday to get the last drops out.

May have an inadvertent out which I'm not happy about. Can't find my Burts Bees lip balm. I keep it on my desk at work and use it all day because of the stupid air conditioning. I usually put it in the front pocket of my handbag at night however last night couldn't find it so am hoping it's still on my desk rather than having fallen out of my handbag.

Have painted my finger nails this morning and used the Leighton Denny kit I got for my birthday. Used the cutilips cuticle and lip balm. It's fine for my cuticles but too greasy for my lips. Am wearing Berry Nice.

Have a good day everyone. I don't have much planned apart from trying out our new local coffee bar. Sells illy coffee - yay our local community has not been taken over by Costa! As well as this we need to visit our local pet shop to book the bunnies in for their hols.

Take care everyone.

Just got my £5 boots voucher from the daily mail rewards thing and I'm going to save it till I need to get some of my skincare bits. Need some mouthwash today as mine is about 2 uses away from being done, but will probably check out the pound stores in town and see what I can find. Hope you're all having a good weekend!

Following my post earlier (where is everyone??) I have another UU to report.

Having used up the Boots honey body butter thought I'd swap to my citrussy body scrub/shower gel/body lotion combo. This is when I found that the travel sized L'Occitane Verbena body lotion was spluttering. Got MrM to cut the bottle open for me and got the rest of it out. Didn't manage to moisturise all my body with it though. Decided to shop in my stash to see if I had anything else fresh fragranced and found another bottle of it (travel sized again). Remembered then that I received two identical Verbena gift sets last year and this along with the 4 x bars of vebena soap are what's left of those gift sets.

Then decided to list my stash and found that I still have tonnes of body butter/lotions to work through. I had good intentions of listing the stock here for you ladies but even gave up writing the list. At least I now have more of any idea of what I have. Surprisingly, I am quite low on skincare.

Hi ladies,

have a uu to report, Superdrug Cranberry and pomegranate body scrub, wiba? no, it smells great, of vimto, but is way too creamy and not scrubby enough, plenty of seeds but they are not effective due to the creaminess.

Have moved onto S&G Sugar crush which smells great.

Hi ladies

I have one UU to report - M&S Shower Gel Berrylicious - WIBA? Well, shock horror, I didnt buy this one either! I wouldnt bother with it. Nicer ones available.

I think I might use up my Aveda Foot Relief this weekend. Its been spluttering for ages. I also had a look at the stuff stashed on top of my wardrobe. I think I will be able to regift in the next couple of months

Thank you for my belated birthday wishes. Hope everyone is having a nice weekend.

I have a whole bunch of empty pots here by the computer ready to list my UUs, and I have a couple of cheeky "ins" as well, but I'm off out now so I shall have to do it tomorrow.

Love to all, :heartpuls:heartpuls:heartpuls

I love S&G Sugar Crush. It's so zesty.

I've been feeling really rubbish lately and the way I would normally cheer myself up would be to buy toiletries, but now I can't do that! :eek:
