    welcome lucyloo - hope you have fun with us !! :)

    no UU today yet, though maybe later. Anyone got any ideas (other than nail varnish remover) for getting hair dye off someones skin? a friend of mine dyed his (very white!) hair black to go to a party last night, and now hes discovered that hes got loads all over himself too - hes tried nail varnish remover, but apparently it stung really badly so he stopped....

    Hope everyone has had a lovely weekend
    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
  • I actually managed to hand my Avon catalogue back without an order this time :j although since I had just bought the Liz Earle TSV from QVC it wasn't that much of an achievement :rotfl:

    One UU for today (well last night) Avon Liiv Botanicals night cream, I WBA but Avon have stopped selling it, it was a nice light cream that was always on offer in the Avon book!
    Now trying to decide between digging in the stash for a moisturiser or going straight for the shiny new Liz Earle Superskin!!

    I am off work this week so aiming for some major pamper time to help UU all those toiletries!

    Have a nice evening all

    I was at HB today and picked up a couple of items. 2 Right Guard spray deos for 99p each. Really nice size so I have put one in my work bag to replace my sure one and another in my holiday bag. I decided that it is much cheaper to buy this size rather than the 3 or 4 mini travel size at 89p a pop that I tend to go through on a two week holiday. Very :money:!!

    Also got another twin pack of the nivea facial wipes - again one has went into my holiday bag - less than three weeks to go :j

    Me too, I'd be interested in reading about this.

    Two unexpected UU today-
    Clinique anti-blemish foundation in fresh alablaster- WIBA? Yes, at £22 a bottle it seems expensive, but I started that little bottle around May last year- so has lasted me 18 months! therefore I think its worth it. I have another one that I bought ages ago ready in line, but i'm also trying to use up a tinted moisturiser at the same time.

    Dove Visible Care softening shower creme- WIBA? Yes, at £1, lovely and creamy but doesn't last very long at all.

    101 UU woohoo!

    :T Well done Carolyn12 - To hit the 100 milestone is a great achievement!

    Hello everyone, please can I join in too? I REALLY need to....when people see the stashes in my bathrooms :eek: is their general reaction!

    Ok, so over the weekend these are my in's:

    2 x Bodyshop passionfruit cleansing gels
    Bodyshop cucumber cleanser
    Bodyshop cucumber toner
    Bodyshop strawberry lip balm (I got tempted by the sale thread on Grabbit for all the above)
    Bourjois correction pen concealer thing (again, tempted on Grabbit!)

    Do I need them? Nooooooooo!! Hence why I'm here to join the thread!

    One UU to report today:

    Kate Moss body lotion. WIBA? Maybe as I do like the perfume, but certainly not until I've used up my other million body lotions first! :rotfl:

    :wave: Weclome to the challenge lucyloo77.

    Baby oil? It's pretty heavy duty stuff and gets rid of quite a lot of gunk without too much rubbing and it's cheap :money:.
    Coconut shower gel spluttering now. Probably UU tomorrow :)

    From Wikipedia on Lush:- Lush has also been a supporter of UKuncut and its protests which have resulted in significant criminal damage.
    I was actually referring to the support of an anti-hunting group that was linked with some really nasty and highly illegal activities, the Hunt Saboteurs Association.
    I'm not pro-hunting incidentally. far from it. I love animals too. But the rights of humans must come above the rights of animals.
    Lush is hugely successful, massively multinational ... in Saudi Arabia, you might not be able to drive a car to shop at Lush or earn your own money, but you can still shop there .

    I'm unaware of this - is there an internet link or more info you can give?

    I've also bought Seanik but I haven't tried it - trying to use up my half opened bottles of shampoo before starting on this one. You'll have to let me know how good it is :)
    nevr heard of seanik or the criminal links!any one tell me more?
