    I have a few UU's to report

    Clinique 7 Day Scrub - WBA, love this scrub but I have a few others in my stash to use before I buy more.
    Armani Elle - WBA, love this perfume.
    Decleor Aroma Cleanse - WNBA, it is quite a nice product but I prefer wash off cleansers.
    S&G Glad Hair Day Conditioner - WNBA, it was ok as conditioners go but nothing special.

    I also have a few GA's as I knew I wouldn't use them
    L'Oreal Resist & Shine Nail Polish
    L'Oreal Infallible Eye shadow

    Also one TA as I did not like the smell and it was only a 5ml sample
    Clarins Body Lotion

    My good wishes to Evilsquid as well though I know what you're up against. I have worked in Law for 25 years (secretarial level) and was made redundant in 2008. At that point of the recession I was working in conveyancing so it's not surprising I lost my job but it seemed like the industry collapsed! I could not get work anywhere else and spent 3 years temping in the public sector. I've started back in conveyancing at the beginning of this year (got job through an old contact). I remember years ago people used to say that legal people would never be out of jobs but how untrue is that? Keep plugging away Evilsquid. What specialism are you looking at?

    thank you! i want to get into family if i can, I've done lots of work in that area in firms and with the national centre for domestic violence. the way it is now its virtually impossible to get a training contract without having known someone who can take you on or been working as a paralegal BUT all the paralegal positions now advertise as "must have experience" so I'm finding those hard to get too. i know the job centre think I'm making all this up and exaggerating when i tell them what its like too :(

    I haven't dropped off the face of the planet, I've been a busy bee! Finished my latest block of nights yesterday morning and just been trying to catch up with housework today. I've also been trying to sell anything that's not nailed down at home as I want to raise the £250 I've just paid my cousin for his 3 month old iPad 2 :D. I'm getting there with that.
    Do try out your local facebook selling pages guys because I've made loads on there!

    NAUGHTY CORNER (but I got a skinny latte to go so its all good)
    Used my 50% off code for mothers to treat myself (My mother was already sorted, she loves her photo mug, thank you Martin =) )

    So trial sizes of
    Balance Me rose otto body wash
    Clarins Multi active day wrinkle cream
    Dr Bragi intensive treatment mask
    Melvita youthful skin cream
    Monu skincare kit x 2 (wants to try sensitive and combination skin offeringins)
    Neom Body wash
    and Richard Ward overnight mask for hair.

    I have been very worried recently, and noticed my forehead crease getting really really bad... so must have been thinking of that when I ordered these thingies! Might try Botox, I mean its only a dangerous neuro toxin, what could go wrong!

    UU:
    Liz Earle instant boost skin tonic (spray bottle) - this is my HG. I've kept the spray bottle and decanted one of the normal bottles i have into it, i find the spray dispenser makes it last much, much longer than pouring it out onto cotton wool.

    also GA:
    Shu Uemura cleansing oil (mini bottle) - tried it this morning and it is a really nice product, goes on as oil then on contact with water turns into a milk. i realised it has isopropyl myristate in like the elemis that sent my skin crazy and I'm not prepared to take the risk with that stuff again as my skin is actually starting to settle down a bit now so its out.
