  • I really don't know how Baylis and Harding get away with it, other than the fact that they usually have very attractive packaging. The products are uniformly carp, imo and a lot of others on here.
    I love their mandarin and something or another handwash - smells very like the Molton brown Naran-Ji one, but at a fraction of the price. Not tried many of their other products though, and the reviews they've had on here make me think I won't bother!

    I love Baylis and Harding stuff...just goes to show :)

    I've got a few UU to report:
    Sanctuary Body Moisture Spray - WIBA - probably not. I know my holy grail and its Vaseline Essential Moisture. I will not bother with anything else lol
    Dove Summer Glow - WIBA - yes, this is definately my holy grail for a tanning moisteriser

    My bathroom is looking quite nice and clutter free these days. It's a good feeling :D
  • 3 UU's

    Radox Shower Gel for Men WBIA No its nice but not for a girl :p

    Claires Lip Balm WIBA no was brought as a present

    One perfume sample.
  • Hi everyone, no UU to report yet but loads of stuff is spluttering! I need a new body scrub because I realised I finished my last one a couple of weeks ago and never replaced it, my cleanser is almost out, my night cream is almost out, I need a new mascara because mine is starting to dry up. I need some strength when I go into boots tomorrow so I don't end up getting distracted by pretty things!

    :rotfl::rotfl: I bought some of that - felt awful between my toes :o



    Don't give up - you shouldn't need to declare your disability - it shouldn't make a difference to any LL. I've never had to tell my LL that I'm disabled and that my OH is classed as my carer. As long as the rent get paid they don't care - and nor should they :D

    Rosemary - fabulous report on the Max Factor :T :beer: Thank You :D

    Sorry I've been a bit AWOL guys - very tired and blah. Did have a great time in London - the zoo was FAB! will share photos next week. Off to visit my brother & family for the weekend so will see you all next week :D

    Hugs xxxx

    It's mainly because DH and I are on benefits and most private LLs won't take people on benefits. :(

    Hope it goes ok!

    I gave up on mine, got fed up of my 'issue' being compared to a fear of spiders, which it's nothing like :o

    I hate it when people compare my fear to that of spiders. They are nothing alike whatsoever!

    Luckily my therapist doesn't do that but I've had it in the past.

    No more UUs but the splutters keep spluttering!
    In Mr T last night and horrorfied to see their'New' Vitamin E facial wipes now £2.32 :eek: Just as well I stocked up when they were under 30p :rotfl:
    Ack! I meant to try these when they were cheap, but didn't get round to buying any because I don't use wipes very much and I had other ones to use first. Now it seems I might not bother with them at all! :cool:
  • Oooh Mandarin... I love citrus smells ...could I yet find a B&H product I like? Bring back Aqua Manda...
    I'm off to Glasgow in the morning, can't wait, love the place. My late father - in - law was from there -Bridgeton.

  • Hi guys, sorry to bring the mood down but I have bad news and it's one of those times where talking to strangers is probably easier - not that I consider you lot complete strangers anymore! Plus everyone else is asleep and I can't sleep... My dad died on Thursday. Am in a state of utter shock and don't really know what to do with myself. It was completely unexpected, got rushed to hospital in the morning and a few hours later he's gone. I didn't manage to get home from London in time to see him. My family definitely doesn't do anything by halves - it was exactly the same with my brother 4 years ago, a&e in the morning then gone. I can't believe it.

    Sorry to write this here, but I really don't know what else to do right now and it feels like telling someone will help.
    hope you're all having a much better weekend than me, I wouldn't wish this on anyone.

    Flirtini, hugest hugs for you hun and my condolences to you and your family.
