You do have LOTS of stuff for your personal use! You sure you need all that?

No i probably don't need all that, it always seems such a good idea at the time and i probably don't use a lot of it. i've included my 2 Son's stuff in there too. My youngest is only 5 so just has the kid's shampoo but my 14yr old spends a stupid amount of time on his hair. :eek: Most of the hair products are his.

I've UU a packet of the face wipes. IWBA because they do the job and are 2 for £1 in Wilko's. Although i have tried the tesco value wipes and they're just as good.

:j I've just been on the Jeremy Vine show on Radio 2, on Martin's Money Saving Spot! I'd emailed PRCP in but what they picked up on was the recipe for home made laundry gel - gloop. I got asked about that.

The interview process was really muddled, noisy and confusing - lots of voices cutting in - but I think I got my message across!

OMG that was YOU?! I was sitting in the car listening to that, and thinking how eloquently the person being interviewed was getting the method across! Well done - you were excellent!

morning all,

another 2UU between yesterday and today.

UU: Lee Staford treatment for hair that doesn't grow past a certain length! WBA, only when on offer! Not sure if it is actually helping my rubbish hair grow but it is a really nice deap conditioner!

UU: Sanctuary shower gel - WNBA, really don't think it is worth the money but then again some of this always turns up at christmas!

Have now opened a BS Love ETC shower gel to start using! Also away with work for a night this week and think I may use a travel size up as well!

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

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
Milk & Honey Body Whip
Vanilla Body Whip - I do NOT need any more Body Butter/Cream/Lotion for the rest of the year


They were all 99p so I don't feel too bad 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

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:

Those Body Whips smell gorgeous don't they - I had a sneaky sniff of a couple that customers had ordered....mmmmm!

Glad to hear that the baby arrived OK, but agree with the others that although it would be lovely to meet the new arrival you truly don't need all the hassle that goes with it. Hurrah for the giant Eeyore though! :T

I have another UU - Dove Roll On Deo. WBA as I really like it. Not harsh on my underarms and dries quickly. I have a few more already bought in my stash.

Had a tough day yesterday. Whilst I was at work my mum was admitted to A & E with a suspected heart attack. She didn't contact me at work and waited until I was due to finish. I then had to get round to her house and pick up some of the things she needed for hospital then into see her. She just seemed so calm through it all and was more concerned about mne paying for parking at the hospital! I then left her to nip out and get her some nice food (the hospital dinner looked awful). Came back armed with some M & S food, fruit, humbugs and a nice mag for her. They were going to run more tests through the night as thankfully the other tests were coming back as negative for a heart attack.

Oh Fiasco - glad to hear that your Mum is on the mend and it wasn't too serious after all. Terrifying for both of you though.

Kaz OUCH! to your nail - that's so painful isn't it - I always trim the nail as low as I possibly can and then use the single layer of tissue that someone mentioned above - will you be able to get away with just enough nail varnish just over the affected area to glue the tissue in place?


2 x UU's to report:

L'Oreal Gentle Eye Makeup Remover - WIBA? Of course! Although not for a while as I have about 8 left in the cupboard still from when Superdrug were selling them at a ridiculously low price a couple of months back.
BS Satsuma Shower Gel - travel size - WIBA? I would, I love the smell and it lathers really well too. For now though I will continue to use the supplies I have!

Checking in 3 skincare products but they were free (Boots Skincare Swap)

Hi Everyone!! I am back - and safely moved into the new flat - I am officially now co-habitating with the bf :-)

Firstly, good luck Absinthe Fairy for the job I/V, I hope you get good news!
Fiasco55 - sorry to hear about your mum having a turn like that, and I'm so glad it turned out to be something that can be monitored and controlled. What a relief.

Soooo, I do have an IN - But I am not claiming responsibility for it as it was an unexpected gift - from my boss when I came back to work yesterday after being off on compassionate leave for my Dad. She gave me a lovely Elemis gift set (this one http://www.johnlewis.com/231342585/Product.aspx) and a lovely sympathy card telling me to make sure I take time out inbetween sorting everything with my Dad and looking after my mum and then moving house - and so the bath set should help! So sweet :-)

So am currently in the hell that is changing addresses on everything, trying to find the cheapest gas and elec suppliers etc - I don't remember it being so complicated the last time I did it! All of a sudden there seems to be a million options. Can't someone just tell me where I can find the cheapest price per wattage or whatever?! Ah well, plodding onwards!

I don't think scrummy gifts should be listed! The kit looks gorgeous. Be sure to post what the fragrance is like will you?

Thank you! My sister quite rightly pointed out that I didn't give quantities ( I blamed Jeremy interrupting me!) but these can be fairly flexible anyway. I've just made some yesterday and did it all with eye measuring - the borax substitute and the soda, that is.

I've just tried to have a nice relaxing bath, it would have been more relaxing if Ds2 hadn't come in with blood pouring from his foot after standing on a drawing pin. :eek:

I've chucked a razor after realising it must be blunt as my legs were still hairy today after shaving them last night. And i've had to cut open my S&G Butter me up. I tried my best to use it all up but i ran out of skin. There's an annoyingly tiny bit left. :cool:

Evening all.

Impressive stash list hollyh, enjoy using it all up! (I think my stash is even bigger but I have been trying to UU some before I made a list so there was less to type up , next year I'll do a list!!)

3 more UU to report and no ins for October (so far) :j

Lush purple soap sample, WNBA, can't remember what the name of this was but I have many soaps to work through. It was also quite soft and went a bit mushy towards the end.

Roc Blemish Correcting Emulsion, WNBA, I bought this off a bargain cosmetics website and was never very sure whether to use as a moisturiser or a spot treatment, which is why it took so long to finish!

BS Vitamin E body butter, this is a mega UU, I have been using this for at least 2 years and am so fed up of it! It just smelled boring and I think it had lost any smell it had from being open so long. Finally I get to root around in the stash for the next body butter!!

Hope everyone has a good evening!
