    I have some ins to confess to:(

    I went to boots today to buy a No7 mineral foundation for my aunt who lives in kenya and can't get hold of it. Of course I took advantage of the 3 for2:o and bought 2 bourjois blushers for myself in rose eclat and rose de jaspe. In my defence:
    I don't really stash makeup, it fits into a small drawer. I have one other powder blusher which is benefit thrrrob and doesn't really show up on my skin,and I've been wanting to try these out for quite a while but always thought they seemed too expensive for what they are. Also, I went into Lush to hand in my bottle caps and walked out empty handed:j
    I also have a £5 no7 voucher to use:(

    I'm so sorry Trudi-Hugs to you and red:(

    Awww - congrats And !!! :)

    only splutterers for me at the mo - almost used up my ted baker body souffle, and the random perfume with a faux pearl in it, but thats it I think....

    Hugs for everyone - and thankyou all for the nice words about the foal(or lack of foal) - Im sure shes grieving, she comes up for her feed,but as soon as shes had it she goes back down to the bottom of the field where it happened and stands there with her head on the ground, its so sad and I wish there was something I could do - but its just time I guess, exactly the same as a human. (mind you, she could just be miffed that the electric is back on the fence and she cant get through to the long grass ;) )

    watched the great British bake off last night and devestated to see the lovely Rod with his beautiful eyes thrown off and we are left with the 2 fat ladies who should swop baking for gardening and eat lettuce:rotfl:

    lots of uu as doing the end of tubes thing with many of my products(well with Clarins prices you need to!...even doing it with a sample tube of fake tan:rotfl:)had a sample of the new wonder cream from occitane but at £60 a tub I will not be buying it plus got a couple of samples in my mag yesterday to save up for when I go away for weekends:)

    got confused this week,DH told his assistant we were going to tenerife for our holiday next month and I believed him(this is really stupid as I booked the holiday to.....Spain!!!)anyway I was looking forward to the lovely spa at the hotel when I thought hang on we are not going there that is where the last holiday was:(:(...as you can see we need this holiday:rotfl:

    Mmmm - he was a bit cute ;) and I was sad to see Jason go too after he'd been star baker twice it felt a little unfair :(

    I have posted samples to those ladies whose addresses I have - I still need more though :D

  • One more UU: Frizz Ease Secret Agent Perfecting Cream. WIBA, possibly although I have a replacement at the moment which both activates curls and is a bit better at controlling the hair so 2 products in one and it costs much less.
  • UU- Aldi body wash. WBA- cheap, does the job and has a lovely silky texture.
    Managed to go into Boots today and come away empty handed.
    My Glossybox is due this week so more In's. However have seen sneak previews on some blogs and quite dissapointed. This is only my second month with them and havn't been impressed really. I think I'll give it another month and then look at cancelling.

    The first of my splutterers is now a UU - Listerine Mouthwash 500mls. WBA and have quite a few already in my stash :D

    I also think my Tigi Sexed Up Shampoo is on the way out, so I may be adding to the splutterer list soon.

    Life is a coin, you can spend it anyway you wish, but you can only spend it once.
    Go as far as you can see, and when you get there you'll see further.
    Take time but don't waste time
