Thanks for the tip about the nivea pavlovsdog , I shall go and check out Tesco when I next need to go into town.
Oh boy am I tired today! I only worked 3 nights and I had cleaned the house before I started on Thursday night but it's like a disgusting pit again today. I'm just having my coffee break and will then continue shovelling out the hovel that it has become. I'm trying to keep a track of how long I spend on housework just so I have some sort of idea. Hopefully MiL will ome and give me a hand with some jobs soon like she said she would, if she does, I can get the kitchen dug out
I've splodged loads of cotton wool balls with sudafed oil and dotted around the house. Have also dabbed some bubs so the house will smell delicious later on tonight

Yeah, another UU, Superdrug Moroccan bath but I used it in the shower on a puff:p, WBA as only 19p but think was being discountinued and they were selling off cheap!

I've found a use for the TREsemme conditioner I'm not going to use anymore - I'll use it to shave my legs.

Three UUs to report:

TREsemme Colour Fade Protection mini shampoo - WIBA? - Definitely not. It made my hair so greasy.
TREsemme Colour Fade Protection mini conditioner - WIBA? - Again, definitely not as it made my hair so greasy. I used the last of this and the shampoo to shave my legs. Now they're all nice and smooth. However, I also discovered a nasty bruise on my leg and have no idea how I did it! I swear I injure myself in my sleep.:o
Original Source Shea Butter and Honey Shower Creme - WIBA? - Yes. I loved it. Smelt lovely and left my skin feeling soft and moisturised.

went on a groupon meal last night for £20 for a 5 course taster worth (so they said!)£50...no way would I have paid that...it was nice enough but when we looked at the normal menu we figured we could have had a proper 3 courses for about £30 instead we had the chefs choice(all diners got the same unless they said there was something they did not eat)

1/ a cup of beetroot soup with a couple of veg in
2/1 sardine on couscous
3/1 duck rillette
4/1 piece of pork cheek and 1 of ox cheek on cabbage
5/plum fool

no way could the food have cost more than £10 max as all cheap things except the duck.would have felt cheated if paid £50 as most of the other dinners did!...this was a place that won a Gordan Ramsey competition!!!!but looked just like a countyr pub with ideas above its station to me!!!

I know it is nothing to do with toiletries but felt worth warning you ladies as things not always as good as they sound..lioke the latest in beauty box!
I have also booked a night away on a similar thing to groupon so hope that will be better!

What area do you live in? We live in South Manchester and have been on four Groupon deals within the City Centre. Out of those I only really rated one of the places, the Blue Parrot on Portland Street. Was only small so had a pub feel to it and the food was very good. I remember it was very good value for money. One of the restaurants we went to was really prompous and they seemed put out that everyone who came in that night had a Groupon voucher. They then stuck a £5.00 Service Charge on the bill which we were not impressed by.

A UU for me and some INs although all were needed so not adding to any stash.

UU: Small pot of Boots Extracts Fairtrade Coconut Body Butter. WBA in a bigger tub though as the little one doesn't go very far. Won't be purchasing for a while. From memory I have three pots of body butter in my stash and will be buying more in US from Bath and Body Works.

INs: 2 x Batiste (half price at the moment at Superdrug), Always pads, Cotton wool pads and Cutex nail polish remover. Not an exciting shop unfortunately.

Had to repaint my nails yesterday as I did loads of housework on Sunday and so my hands were continuously in hot water. Am now wearing OPI Sparrow me the Drama.

PS. I voted for the cute bunny - wish I could get mine to pose for cute piccies but they're obstinate. Trudj sorry for your loss. xx
