    Very exciting news, I have to go out and buy shampoo tomorrow! The little guys are just using up the last tonight and there is othing else suitable for hair in the stash!
    Quick, where's cheapest for shampoo at the moment? We like alberto balsam but will try out other brands if anyone thinks there are any better ones. Would prefer not to spend over 75p per bottle (4 for £3) but if there are no offers on, I'll have to get one of the basic ranges. Easily accessible to me I have Asda, Tesco, Waitrose, Aldi, Lidl, pound shop, Wilkinsons or Boots.
    Hope someone can suggest me a bargain :)
    ETA: alberto balsam is 4 for £3 in the big 3 so I'll pop to Asda tomorrow and get some :)

    Wooo Congrats! I think Wilkos had some shampoo on offer when I went on Friday. Didn't really pay too much attention because I was looking for something else, but they had herbal essences all by the door with the massive yellow stickers which usually means there's an offer going on!

  • Done your questionaire Ruby, had it goes ok, almost a year to the day I finally got my MSc one into something worth reading...so don't miss having to spend every waking hour on it thats for sure!

    An IN to report, feeling a bit down so treated myself to the gingerbread n-spa bubbles from Asda, been wanting to buy some for ages but wasnt quite on the last shower gel. Decided to be naughty through:)
    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 sales
  • Ruby - I'm doing it now for you

    I have some ins:o

    I got a molton brown gift set from my parents as a late eid present. It has 4 100ml shower gels and 2 100ml lotions. Looking forward to trying it (I hadn't heard of it till you all mentioned it on here!:D) but also just want to keep them because they look pretty:o it came in nice zip up box which I will use to keep perfumes in:j

    and a set of mac brushes but these will be used as I needed a decent eyeshadow brush:)

    need to buy an anniversary card tomorrow which means going past lush and superdrug and temptingly close to boots and BS. Might have a look at the sleek palettes...oh dear someone stop me now!:rotfl:

    Booooo! I just placed an order at TBS

    ..........However, the majority of the order is not for me, going to make a little gift set up for my sister for xmas so got her a whole load of the shea range seeing as it was reduced :p plus give her one of the free mascaras that I get with the order too, technically the only thing for me from the order is a hairbrush and the second of the free mascaras and a free eye liner so I don't feel so bad about placing it now.....
    I have to admit Im reasoning with myself that there *might not* be another BS glitch before christmas so I might as well make the most of it now :p

    Another UU: l'Occitane 4 reines rose (or whatever it's called) hand lotion 15ml.

    WIBA? It's nice, but not as nice as some of the others.

    I bought a little Vaseline rosy pot. I don't have any more and thought it would be good to have in my desk drawer at work. Does that count as an in?

    I still need about 30 odd people to do it, so if you know anyone or fancy doing it again and I don't know....making some answers up, I would grateful, not that I'm advocating cheating of course!

    I have done it and so has my best male pal who is round just now. Good luck :)

    So to the bad news....I was out for a spot of shopping and I have crumbled spectacularly. So INs

    i remember 'not' doing that (nudge nudge wink wink) when i wrote my disseration as i didn't know enough people to answer my questionaire and was too cowardly to approach strangers. Oh so long ago now :(

    i answered it earlier this morning
