having said last night I had no real news on the toiletries front I decided to do a face mask and UU'd my Avon Planet Spa Peel off face mask - WIBA? Yes, I probably would. Nice to find a peel-off mask that comes off in one fascinating piece and oh BOY does it feel like it's doing something as you peel it off, too! :rotfl: (As a side effect, you can wax your eyebrows at the same time! LOL!) I'll continue to work through the moisture boosting one I have on the go at the moment, but may break out the other one I have in the stash too - a deep cleansing one I have been dying to try out.🎉 MORTGAGE FREE (First time!) 30/09/2016 🎉 And now we go again…New mortgage taken 01/09/23 🏡

Kaz - go to Harry Potter world for me???!!!!! Dying to try butterbeer !!!!!
I'll be there at the end of next month - this is our first port of call. I may try a butterbeer but I bet it's really sweet. I've actually come online tonight to print off our itinerary ready for when we meet up with our friends at weekend but have found I've only saved half of it. Think I chucked the draft out as well so am gonna have to start again.rosemary54 wrote: »new Pe teacher at school what a dish...pity he is youing enough to be my son:eek::eek::eek::eek:....now do I sign up to his monday night boot camp????
Emma's science teacher in Year 7 was gorgeous but sadly she has not had him since. Parent Evenings were so much lovelier then.:rotfl:Back for the No Buying Toiletries challenge. I pledge to only buy when I run out of a product that is not already in my stash no matter what wonderful emails land in in my Inbox or threads I read on MSE re: glitches!

Welll... with the new hot air brush I thought I'd better get some products to use with it. In true MSE style I ferreted round Poundland for something to add volume to my very fine, straight hair. I came up with Sunsilk Anti Flat Volumising Cream in a blue pump bottle. Time will tell if it's any good.
Got great results on hair that was 90% dry with my new hot air brush without using any leave in products, just Elvive shampoo and conditioner. Some reviews report that this make of brush (Vidal Sassoon) cut out a lot, I found instantly that it was very easy to block the air intake. I bet that's what was happening when they cut out.Erma Bombeck, American writer: "If I had my life to live over again...

Helen, my sides hurt as I've had to stifle giggles reading your comments on your stash list, thank you so much for such a great laugh.
Regarding foot lotion, I've posted before how I don't put this on in bed but always slather my feet in it before putting on cotton socks or trainer liners in the morning. I find it works much better for me this way, as bed socks slip off my feet instantly and I get the foot cream all over the sheets instead.Erma Bombeck, American writer: "If I had my life to live over again...
