    And - Sorry I missed you on the radio - must have been fun :D

    Right! Budge up on the naughty step I'm stopping for a while :rotfl:

    My Avon order arrived so I have some IN's:

    3-in-1 Cleanser/Toner/Moisturiser - for travelling
    2 x Lip Balm - Hot Chocolate & Spiced Cookie MMMmmmmmm :p
    Milk & Honey Body Whip
    Vanilla Body Whip - I do NOT need any more Body Butter/Cream/Lotion for the rest of the year :o


    They were all 99p so I don't feel too bad :o I also got a pair of Lavender Warming Slippers for me and a family size Face, Hand & Body Cream for the christmas charity box.

    I also popped into Boots to pick up a xmas book and succumbbed to the FCUK glitch - Body Wash, Deo & Lip Balm for £3.60 :T (on 3for2 and free lipbalm with any purchase - actually - thinking about it I should have got two lipbalms and the price would have stayed the same! Drat!) but it was for a gift so that's OK :p

    Off to the fair tomorrow with OH's sister and nieces - should be fun *sarcasm icon needed here' :rotfl:

    have a great weekend all :cool:

    Oh! EH - if you have any of the 50p MOC's that came with the Nivea Soft samples the 75ml tubes are £1 in Tesco's at the moment: which reminds me:

    1 x Nivea Soft 75ml Tube IN :rotfl:

    2 small samples of benefit It's Potent eye cream- i returned an old facial product bottle and got a free sample from the boots benefit counter.

    Hi all. Another UU: L'Occitane Lavender Hand Cream 15ml.

    WIBA? It was a nice consistency, but lavender isn't my favourite scent: they do better (for me, at least).
    Please call me 'Pickle'

    I went into Superdrug, WHSmith and Boots yesterday. Was very good - only came away with a pack of cotton wool pads from Superdrug which I needed. Did have a look at the free hand creams on offer but didn't want either magazine so didn't bother (had Marie Clare been giving away the L'Occitane Lavender hand cream it would have been a different story and I know that others on this challenge have posted that the cowshed products are not so brilliant didn't want to bother with that one either). I also have plenty of hand lotion/cream in my stash so very :money: of me.

    Was pretty impressed with the first OOTW at Boots. Don't like Boss Orange myself though.

    Will be going to JL today for my Sheer Skin tint though.

    Have also repainted my nails and am now wearing OPI Off With Her Red.

    Have a good weekend everyone. x
    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!

    Welcome Carer Adrian... now, would that be a carer of Adrian, who could be m or f ... or do we have another male?! There was another male just after I joined ... Do tell us a bit about what brings you here, Carer Adrian ... we are very [STRIKE]nosey [/STRIKE] supportive.

    A very nice little L'Oreal moisturiser freebie arrived for my son - not a sachet but a wee tube. I also UU'ed his OS Mint and Tea Tree shower gel as like Kaz's DH, he leaves large amounts lurking in the bottom of bottles. I'm quite adept at levering the cap off.

    DS used up the rest of the gel so can't really count it as one of my outs, but it is a bit less clutter in the bathroom. Though we usually use OS, I'd replaced it with a 400 ml Imperial Leather SG for Men, in the hope it will last longer than ten days...

    I've just listened to myself on the Jeremy Vine show. I did do ok, thankfully. I had no idea I sounded so Welsh, it really comes over on the radio.. I haven't lived in Cardiff since I was eighteen. Well you can take the girl out of Wales, but you can't take Wales out of the girl....

    I'm in at around 1 hour 16 minutes, you can drag the slider to the requisite point Andrea on Jeremy Vine
    This link will work until the new show goes up sometime Monday afternoon.

    2 small UU's to report. A sachet each of Biotherm's Skin Perfection catalyzing serum and skin energetic serum. I wouldn't buy either. Is it just me who can never see a difference when using serum? I also bought Marie Claire yesterday to get the free l'occaitane hand cream, I bought the original one, that's the only one like.

    Have a nice weekend

    One UU in the shower this morning! TBS Shea body scrub.

    WIBA? No way! This left a greasy film all over my shower which was very slippery and quite dangerous! I much prefer scrubby gloves with a shower gel. I got this as part as a TBS gift set so I have no more body scrubs in my stash. :)
