    2 more UUs! yay!

    A yellow bottle of morrisons own brand body spray...no idea what it's called but it's in a yellow bottle...wasn't keen on the smell and found it hard to get the last lot out, had to push hard to get it out..so nah, wouldn't buy again I don't think...

    2nd UU is a royal bouquet bath creme bottle, little bottle from a set...found this quite nice :)
  • A UU!!! S&G face wipes WIBA No I found them very slippy so struggled a bit to wipe it over my face. I got them last Xmas in the tote bag, think they are over priced for what they are.

    Does anyone have suggestions on how to tackle spots on the front of the neck? I have been struggling for ages and have tried clearasil, dr spot, Clinique on the spot and lately tea tree oil which has taken them down but then another load pop up! I am sure they are hormonal, pushing forty and still getting spots lol
  • Oops, bought a few shampoos and conditioners in Sainsburys as they were half price. My stash of those isn't too bad and I had to spend a minimum of £30 to get £10 off my shopping so I think it's ok. That's my excuse anyway.

    UU a Rimmel foundation. WNBA. Ended up using it for really not important days, make-up-wise. Still, somehow, I've got another one to work through!

    Sol ong as you didn't spend £30 on shampoos I suppose that's ok Blonde Ambition ;)
    I have INS! 2 bottles of a rather scrumptious 1L of orange, something and something else christmassy bubble bath from Avon. (I'm sorry, it was just so yummy I forgot the full name :o). I *think* I can bypass the naughty step because I have only got the dregs of TBS coconut one left.

    Just had a phone call from a work mate. Apparently we're all going to have to rotate onto day shifts as of February. That sucks and I have NO idea how I'm going to manage. Or in fact how they are going to implement it. Do they not realise that there is a reason some people do permanent nights? It's not for the lack of social life that's for darn sure!
    I'd better start investigating some child care now :(. I've always picked mine up from school and wanted to continue to do so until they were both at Secondary school. Even then, I wanted to be here for when they get home.

    if you struggle with flat hair, just part your hair lift up the top layers of hair and slightly backcomb the layers underneath. no cost involved and it brushes out! i have terribly curly hair, yet my roots are flat! so i have to backcomb to get them looking full! :D xx

    Thanks hollieinbloom - my hair is quite fine and very short so I find using the right product can really help give it some oomff. I only backcomb when I am off on a big night out and want it to stand up. On reading this back it sounds like I am modeling a Jedward do and honest I am not - it looks fab :rotfl:

    No other movement to report.

    Alton Towers - I see you've used tea tree already...but thought I'd say I use the superdrug tea tree stick when I get big ones, I then apply it again and again all day and find it really helps...as for keeping them all down as a whole, I was given 'the pill' when I was 14 to control my hormones and this helped a lot! but that's just my experiences...

    Two more UUs!

    Lush twilight bath bomb....loved this!
    And a sample of Sanex 0% shower gel stuff, this is absolutely fine...obviously just a normal shower gel, clear in colour - I usually go for scented things, but this shower gel is nice :)

    Hi all,

    Okay, contrary to the majority opinion on here, I quite like the mystery trial wipes from Albascience :o I don't have to rub away at my face as I usaully have to do. The material? is a bit rough though, so I hope they aren't baby wipes!

    One UU: Greek olive oil soap. WIBA? I do like this very much, I just wish it would last longer! It seems to go all mushy very quickly at the sink!

    Some other splutterers: Dove mini conditioner, S&G body spray.

    I can tell this will be a slow month with the toiletries haha.

    :)
