    Oh my :eek:

    Just started my stash list and it is way, way, way worse than I thought! :eek: :eek:

    Why oh why am I stockpiling shower gels? At least if there's an Armageddon I'll be able to trade showergel for food.......... :D

    You and me both Dollypop...or squirt shower gel into the eyes of zombies?

    I watch too many zombie programmes!

    Hi peeps,

    Having trouble sleeping tonight, thought it would help if i mentally counted all my toiletries instead of sheep but it doesnt seem to be working.

    Anyway thought id post my one uu.:

    UU No 1 - TBS shine? (olive) conditioner
    WNBA - Too thick n doesnt really hydrate my hair. smells good though.

    TIP No 1
    - If you have conditioner that you cant get to work for you, try using it on dry hair before you wash it, like a sort of hair treatment. Or use a generous amount after shampooing n leave for as long as possible before rinsing. NB Its always good to give your hair a last rinse with cold/luke warm water to lock in the moisture.

    Couple of use ups to declare.

    Elemis Tranquil Touch Bath Elixier. WIBA?? Erm i id really like it but i'm so heavy handed and use far too much so i costs a ton.


    Olay Olay Regenerist Microdermabrasion and Mini Peel Kit . WIB? Hell yes - I love this stuff. I have one more stockpilled as it is now dicontinued, but once i've used that not sure if i'll fin anymore. I don't want to have to pay the price for the Philosophy version.

    Three of four Lush Bath bombs - still working through my massive stockpile.

    An Avon Skin SO Soft Lotion - WIBA? Maybe - it was inofensive and soaked in well so maybe if an offer was on... and whe i need lotion.

    A few ins - but all boring so won't dwell.
    I'm so boring, my clothes wanna keep someone else warm, someone cooler

    Hi All,

    Have been MIA for a few days as came down with this nasty stomach bug that's been doing the rounds, the worst is definitely over though thankfully! Cue several pages to catch up on!

    As a result no real movement on UU, or more positively IN, but have had a couple this morning as part of my recovery bath!

    Bath Bomb Co Jade Bath Meltz - picked this particular one for this morning as looked innocent enough without any pretty but annoying flower petals etc but turned out to actually be full of little seeds - served no good purpose I could see other than to make a right mess of the bath and meaning me having to shower after the bath to ensure they were all gone off me and particularly out of my hair which I washed in the shower :mad: Other than that lovely and moisturising and I do like these bath bombs generally but the whole bits/petals thing when its over the top is a bit of a pet peeve of mine :o Still WBA but not this actual particular one, love the range generally though

    Also finished off half a small bottle of M&S Groovy Berry Bath Caviar for no better reason than I felt like it ;) I like these, they're cheerful, colourful and smell nice - still have various other flavours to go - probably not something I'd purposefully BA but would quite happily use if someone else did!

    And finally a tiny IN that I found flicking through the Marie Claire I bought to get the Neal's Yard cream whilst stricken on the sofa yesterday afternoon - Clarins Extra Firming Cream - meant for 40's plus skin so may GA to my Mum as yet

    And finally a little non related MSE tip that may be of use to someone, if anyone wants to order flowers from Interflora for Mother's Day or otherwise today (only available yesterday and today), there's a voucher code to get 14% off and they've also got free delivery on selected products so pretty good. Not sure whether I'm allowed to put it on here but its available on all the usual voucher sites or PM me if you want the details.

    Have a lovely weekend all, I'm hoping to get out and about and some fresh air tomorrow after being cooped up for a couple of days

    just been to get my hair cut and wella massage treatment,it was my free treatment as buy 5 get next free usually costs me around £33 for the full works so expecting half that for the trim.....£20.50 :eek::eek::eek::eek:plus I bought a comb that cost £5.50(very wide teeth for curly hair...own fault should have asked how much before I ordered!)so the trim which takes about 10 mins costs much more than the treatment which lasted about 45 mins!!!!
    decided to start using up all the sachets of shampoo/cond that i have out of mags as soooo many in stash should not need to buy any for a while:)

    Heya Suz, are you a toiletry addict? Do you mind that were are the least helpful support group in the world? (Unless you want support to buy more, but better, toiletries)

    Well Hello and welcome!

    I just had an idea, do any washing things stil come in little muslin bags? Sticking a bathbomb in those might save on the cleaning of the bath after!
