  • So sorry about your aunt EH :(

    Welcome back Flirtini! Sounds like you had a good time.

    I did your survey a couple of days ago Ruby_Eskimo, forgot to mention it!

    Lovely nails as usual Sawan!

    Bohemian rose - I have the Vanilla Puff dusting powder from Lush. I use it sometimes after a bath or shower as well as a moisturiser (but on different 'bits' if that makes sense - moisturiser on my legs and arms, powder everywhere else!). It smells lovely. Sometimes I sprinkle it on my bedsheets or the carpet to make it smell nice too (luckily my carpet is cream!).

    Huge Hugs EH xx

    Rosemary - why not try just potting on small plants to sell on - like primroses and such like. or bulbs into tea/coffee cups and saucers ready for christmas flowers (cups and saucers are usually cheap at CS or people don't use them so give them away)

    INs I have made my first puchases in over a month - 1 John Freida Sheer blonde go blonder shampoo and 2 conditioners. This makes my hair amazing and means i only have to have it coloured 2x a year, and it was on offer in A*da - i try to only buy it when on offer

    UU - UG shampoo WNBA, Sheer blonde go blonder shampoo and conditioner WBA, JF sheer blonde moisturising conditioner.

    Sawan - love the nails - wish mine looked like that but i bite mine. thinking of hypnotherapy to try to stop this habit as willpower only works for 1 week!
    £400,000 starting Jan 2020 current end date Aug 2041 I would love the end date to be 2027 but will aim first for 2037.
    1% target £4000 so far £20 paid
  • EH, I'm so sorry to hear that, sending huge hugs your way.

    Trudij - I just tried to find a picture of the dress (and then the one I splurged and bought for myself too!) online but no joy - I shall duly take a snap when I get home tonight for you to see :D

    On the toiletries front, I had to cut open my St Ive's Apricot scrub to get at the dregs this morning - I think one more use out of it and I'll have my first UU.

    I'm desperate to use up my kerastase shampoo - it's a few years old, and only a little left that I've since decanted into a mini bottle for space saving reasons - but have been using it for the last couple of days and it smells quite detergenty to me for some reason - so might have to be a bit heavy handed with it to hopefully use it up in the next few days! :rotfl:

    Hope everyone has a good day. x

    Sorry to hear your news EH.

    Sawan your nails are such a lovely shape and length, no idea how you keep them so nice all the time.

    I have used a no7 voucher today on a body lotion, I have other things in this range and love them and it worked out at £5 with the voucher, gave my other to DH. Then when I paid they gave me a £5 fragrance voucher and another no7 voucher valid until October. Heaven help us with these vouchers.

    1 in pantene conditioner as had a £1 off coupon from Mr T so saved £1:)
    bought a pack of batteries and managed to lose them on the way home(lost £2 ):(

    going on hols soon and going with EJ(20 kilos bags) but coming home with RA(15kilos bags)...and sharing 1 bag with DH.......so buying joint shampoo/conditioner/shower gel(renting a flat so no goodies) and just leaving what is left,did this last holiday as those items weighed about 2 kilos!!!!!plus will buy cheap books from Amazon sellers and leave those and magazines behind.
    DH did the same trip with work and 1 woman did not realise RA was less generous plus she had bought stuff...total 24 kilos!!!! so Dh ended up with a load of her clothes in his case and was quite worried in case she did not take back all her undies:rotfl:

    Sorry to but in everyone, but I desperately need some more participants for my masters thesis. Appears that I have lost a large amount of data somewhere and I'm panicking now! The link is HERE and it will take about 10 mins tops! Thank you all who help me out!

    Hugs to you and your family EH...


    On the toiletry front one UU just my nice smelling Balatise - just have to use the remainder of the horrible smelling one now I guess.

    Feeling really really rubbish today - my flat is making me so ridiculously depressed and even worse Ive spent the evening looking on rightmove and not seen anything remotely suitable in our price range :(
    My shower now no longer really works - in that if you have the water on for litterally more than 5 minutes you flood out the entire bathroom + kitchen so that probably explains why Im hardly using any products up anymore because Im litterally in and out of there in a flash, I could run of an entire list of complaints that are getting me down about the place but that would probably take all year, oh and the tenants upstairs who moved out last month have now moved back in again as of yesterday (no idea what the hell is going on with them), Ive already forgotten what it was to have silence... :/
