    Ladies, a quick question for you. I'm going to MrBs tonight to get my multivitamins, and (luckily) it's the mix & match 342, as you probably all know :rotfl:

    I could just stock up on vitamins, but I thought it made sense to take advantage to get different things so I don't fall for a 342 on skincare next time and really enhance my stash :eek:

    So I was thinking of getting my Sanatogen Multivitamins and Sanctuary Polishing Hot Cloth Cleanser (meant to be v good along the lines of C&P, and I don't have any cleansers in stock bar the one I've just opened). Now I will need a night cream at some point soon (the serum bottle is opaque and seems a little spluttery recently). So are there any suggestions from you ladies from something I can get as part of the 342? I was considering one from the new No7 Beautiful Skin range, but am I just falling for the marketing??

    I did think about getting toner, but that's something that's usually a bit cheaper than night cream and vits so will buy one closer to needing it.

    I'd really appreciate some advice!

    Also UU a sample vial of Avon Far Away Eau de Toilette - WNB, it wasn't my kind of scent, a little too heavy for everyday

    I love this stuff and it's probably my all time favourite perfume. Absolutely love the smell.

    The Sanctuary one is my favourite, having tried LE, No7, Botanics and S&G (also have the Superdrug Vitamin E one to be used next).

    The No7 Beautiful Skin is just the previous brands repackaged I think - I have the one for dry skin in my stash and it smells as the same as the old "Advanced Hydration" one. I like the packaging better as it's plastic instead of glass so no worries about breaking it! I've always liked No7 skincare. :)

    Does anyone know how long the 3 for 2 will be on for? I'll be needing a couple of things soon (I go through moisturiser like it's going out of fashion!) so would like to get them when there's an offer on.

    I've been told by a pregnant friend that apparently bio oil is now free on NHS to pregnant ladies. Not that I'm encouraging anything at all. There even limits to my :money: :rotfl:

    Now I've finally caught up with thread I have a UU to report: 15ml bottle of OPI Avoplex oil. Have a few of the To Go versions in my stash so don't need to replace this just yet. Think I'd try something else anyway.

    My LE order has arrived from QVC and yesterday I bought an ASDA own brand roll on deodorant as it was reduced to 45p. I only have one deodorant on the go.

    Have a good day everyone. x

    Definately prefer to buy my own Bio-oil, altho' would need IVF at my age to get it free :rotfl:

    Avoplex is lovely, but I also like Jessica Phenomen oil and Creative Solar oil, do not like the LD Slick Tips and unfortunately I have at least 1.1/2 bottles of it (bought in sets), it just does not feel right on my skin somehow.

    Hello my lovelies. :) My lovely DH took me out today for a little shopping trip because I haven't been that great lately and he wanted to cheer me up.

    I managed to avoid Superdrug and Boots. Yaaaaaaaay! Normally when we're out I have to have a look.:rotfl:

    Oh and I saw this gorgeous bag in Acessorize that is big enough to carry my life in and it's £18 (cheap for accessorize!). This is the bag http://www.accessorize.com/en/restofworld/bon-bon-birdy-shopper/invt/18925301/?bklist=icat,4,shop,bagshop,allbagsandpurses Isn't it beautiful?! I'm not really a bag person, to be honest, so when I see a bag I love, it's a miracle! :rotfl:

    Some mobile companies if you haven't use the phone for a long time cancel the credit and the sim card, this may have happened to you. Used to happen a lot to my Nephew when he was young and never really used his, he had to send a text every six months to keep his credit etc.
    mmmm do you think if I contact Tesco they would fix it?trouble is I don't even know the number as I threw out the top up card as never intended to use it.
    felt awful as am on MSN to DS2 and told him about it and he said I have free texts so he did it for me before I realised you have to pay £1.50 op top of the text:eek:
    not been my day with technology as besides the phone a lamp stopped working (I changed bulbs but none of my new ones work so could be a fuse) and the internet has been on and off all day
