No to Buying Unnecessary toiletries in August 2011!

Hi all.

I have a small Clinique sample lipgloss that is nearing its end, but there's a chunk of product stuck at the bottom of the tube that the wand won't reach and I quite like the colour Does anybody know where I could pick up a throw-away lipgloss wand? (for free )

I was in Sainsbury's tonight, and they had all the lovely nasty-free Good Things range half price! It smells delicious...and was so tempted but I walked away

Another UU: Clinique Take the Day Away Eye Make Up Remover.

WIBA? Yes, but I don't know anymore as I have loads of other ones to use up first! *sigh*

Thanks Guy - Sorry Ive been awol again due to work etc....


My main present from OH was a necklace - diamond and white gold. Its two hearts attached together and then a diamond in the middle of it. Its really pretty and has the finest chain ever that Im so scared of getting into a knot....
All in all was a bit of a wierd day..... Had cards from OH's family (his cousin, his uncle etc) and yet not even one card from anyone from my own family - was kind of thinking maybe now my nan had my address I could be expecting one but that was probably too much to ask for.....
In fairness I do have a whole 4 cards from family members back at my parents house apparently (my mum refuses to tell them where I live, Im assuming so I have to keep going back there for them!)

Got a few other bits from OH, and OH's folks gave me £50.... Got into work and the girls bless them had decorated my desk, put a banner on my chair and left a big foil balloon and a card on it. That was all I was expecting but I took a half day and before I left they all swarmed me on reception and gave me presents too, got me a personalised mug with my name on it, a engraved champagne flute and a thorntons chocolate champagne bottle with 'Happy 21st' on it too...Was really sweet

Met up with OH for lunch at the pub, then I came home and had a bit of a lazy afternoon and then when OH got home from work we went out for dinner in Cardiff.
Am going up to my parents house later today, not really looking forward to it (both me and OH are allergic to their dog) and both my dad and sister are working until late tonight anyway so seems pretty much like a waste of time but oh well, I guess I better show my face.....

Didn't get anything toiletry related and I actually UU my last free hair dye!


All I can say is thank god its a bank holiday weekend, Im dreading the absolute mess Ive got to face come Tuesday mind.....
Work were meant to be implementing a new system last week, it doesn't work and now we have the hugest backlog ever, to make matters worse despite us now having to use the non-working new system we then have to do it all again on the old system, its more than doubled our workload, our department is getting the s**t for it, when its nothing to do with us, not even to do with our company but because whoever have f***ed things up refuse to admit they have, everyone automatically has blamed our department just because we're the ones who are meant to use the new system....Total nightmare - needless to say next week Im going to be working a hell of a lot of overtime.....

tesco called and said they had had a fuse blown so that was why the freezer unit in the van was not working....no offer of compensation tho:mad:
had a call from magazine group wanting me to renew a sunscription and said they would give me 2 free copies ,a £5 boots coupon(toiletry link!)and it would only cost me £9.60 for 6 issues(usually about £3.50 each)then offered me another mag(again with a free issue) for £20 for the year....can't see how they are making any money or the girl on the phone any commission!think things are really tight esp after She went bust:(

had my hair cut and a wella massage treatment:)was given a free turban towel:):) and managed to get a 20% off coupon for Phase eight(current fav shop) out of a magazine:):):)
