I want pancakes now. Stupid gluten-intolerance.:(

I'm a ceoliac and have pancakes often, we use Doves farm gluten free flour and they taste the same as normal pancakes.

I have another UU Montagne Jeunesse Cucumber peel off mask 5ml. WNBA wasn't anything special and didn't feel like it did anything. Do not have any other masks in my stash.

Currently painting toenails in Caite My Fair Lady. Don't paint fingernails as get these done with Jessica gel colours every month, but giving my nails a rest next month as have been using this constantly for a long time. Currently trying to get feet in order for when warm(ish) weather finally comes.

Would it work with gluten free flour LadyM? I know that I saw GF flour on approved foods a while back, don't know if it's still there?

1 UU: Axe Shock Glacier Water+Deep Sea Mint+Menthol - WNBA

Received this one in a box of cleaners and toiletries from a friend moving abroad. I'm not so choosy on shower gel scents, so I didn't mind the smell, however, the consistency of this one was thick and it seemed very artificial and shiny, almost like it had flecks of glitter in it.

I re-assigned it to be the cat's litter box cleaner, and while it was up for the job over the past few weeks, thankfully it sputtered to a final death this weekend. Probably not what the Axe marketers had in mind. :rotfl:

Next up in the cat box queue: Body Shop earth lovers apricot and basil shower gel. It's a good product but I don't like smelling like an apricot.

Id I remember right Axe is the european name for lynx, I now have images of your Tom attracting every lady cat in the district lol.

Gluten free pancakes sound like they are worth a go, see this is why we are on this thread, informational as well as addictive

(Oh and I took the kids out to play today and one of them spun round so much on the tyre swing he threw up. Wated to come home and felt very sorry for himself, so back home a lot earlier than I expected)

have never even heard fo Sisley so had no idea it was sooooo expensive,I will take note to see if I thin k it is worth it:rotfl:

Hmmmmmm it gets fab reviews but I'd have to see something pretty amazing to spend £250 on a face cream! I know I have a toiletries 'problem' but even I have limits!

I would expect my face cream to wake me up with a cup of tea and a warm croissant for that price!

Glossybox spoilers are out on their site. the overall selection is ok but depends how they've divided them up, theres only one blog with an actual box so far. i do want to try one of the things but not worth the risk of having to buy multiple boxes trying to find it, may as well buy full size!

OH came back earlier than I had expected, I misunderstood, cyclists meeting for coffee and ride, not lunch, however, I had my pancakes and had left some for him (apologies for the temptation ladies), hair looking glossy and feeling all soft and bouncy, shall have to leave toe nail re polishing for another day.

Hi Dollypop, I too love Philosophy shower gels (have not got on with any of their skincare though) and have some firm favourites: Cinnamon Buns, Amazing Grace, Pure Grace and Double Hot Cocoa. I also loved a couple that seem to have been discontinued: Fresh Cream (I had this a couple of years ago in one of the Cookbook sets released at Christmas) and Pumpkin Spiced Muffin although I bought Harvest Spice last year and to me smells exactly the same so am pleased. I have the Snow Angel one in stash (picked up in the Boots Sale) so yet to try. Some that I haven't liked though are Gingerbread Man, Red Velvet Cake, Cinnamon Dots and the citrussy one released last year called Glow something or other.

To answer your question though I think I've used it a couple of times as a shampoo and I think it was fine but unfortunately I am not all :money: yet as I think I'm still influenced by the con instilled in me by QVC that you have to have separate products to do certain jobs. Maybe I'll get there one day!

I know what you mean about the skincare, I have 'Hope in a Jar' but I've relegated it to a neck cream because it smells so chemically!

I fell in love with Philosophy in New York last year, my favourite is Falling in Love but I picked up loads in the Boots sale including Snow Angel and Marshmellows for Toasting amongst others

I have a 20% off code for the website if it's any use to you?? :rotfl:
