    Just a fleeting visit today - Willowbee - I dont know the finer details of what has gone on, but from the response you have got on here I dont think that poster has done any favours for their company at all - I certainally wont be buying it simply because I feel she was so bloody rude !!!!

    ignore them- and keep doing what you are, the whole thing with this thread is that we post our own opinions on things and give each other the heads up if we think things are a bit iffy

    xxxx

    I agree - to me this is a company to avoid, simply because how awful the poster was!

    Hugs to Willowbee, and also Scrappie.

    Have finished a couple of things including my bath salts (yay! I don't see the point of them at all) and Lush Glogg Shower Gel - love this stuff but it's time to move on to something else.

    Wow, you ladies are truly amazing. I never expected that and you have no idea just how nice it is to get that response. A huge, huge thank you to you all. Terribly sorry if I missed any reply in this post, I'm just a little overwhelmed right now:o


    So, onto other things -

    MadScientist - get you with your eyeshadow UU
    :j:j:j
    It screamed "take me to Vegas with you!
    Wondercollie - I'm having a lot of these moments, I don't go untill Sept:eek::eek:

    Rosemary - any more news on your SSB box yet?? Glad that your home is now weatherproof!

    Evilsquid - yey for Paris, have a fab time!!

    I was clearing out my underwear draw and found a tube of Barry M foundation

    Happytorty - you have no idea how much this made me laugh. Thankyou for cheering me up! Good luck with the house move - it's an exciting time. I know what you mean about saving though..... But well done on the advantage points! I was really lucky, I did get a lot of stuff given to me/ sold cheep by family/ friends. The only new things I bought were a stero and a matress. So I did quite well!

    Valm - I'm with you on the Elemis TSV. I don't 'do' baths - I'm a shower girl, and I really don't need to start up on Elemis shower products. So we will see......

    I had some UU this morning/ last night
    MOP shampoo
    MOP conditioner
    Philosophy face scrub
    Alpha-h face scrub
    £4 will be added to my pot for those

    I opend my Philosophy TSV - WOW I love it!! I think it's a bit 'heavier' than the other grace fragrences, which I wasn't expecting. Thought as it was 'summer' grace, it would be much lighter. It's not so heavy that it's a night-time fragrence so I put it on today and even my mum commented that I smelt nice!!

    Just to say won't buy from that company either after that post.

    No UU or ins in the last few days, trying to avoid all the current offers. Already had 3 small purchases and 2 beauty boxes this month need to cut things down further before buying anything else.

    You're very welcome scrappie - I think! Hope you're feeling muh better xxx:p
    Thank you for the luck :T
    I never even knew Boots sold things for the home until I was hunting for fridge freezer! It's only a let property but we are basically left to it. The landlord is going to supply us with paints of our choice! :D We have been saving for a while and we have his cousin moving with us to save money and split the costs (not to mention the money my lovely mummy gave me to help :D)


    1 UU
    Rock and Rose by Valentino EDT - WBA I absolutely loved this. I will be buying this in the future!

  • Scrappie - belated hugs! And also hugs to Willowbee - thank you for your updates - argan schmargan that's what I say! :tongue:

    Have come on the thread for some support - was emailed about a LE offer that is 48 hours only via the LE website- soooooooooo tempting but trying soooooooo hard to be good. I know with all your support I will manage to resist.

    Have some INs from my Philosophy - YAY:
    Summer Grace fragrance 120ml
    Summer Grace shower gel 480ml
    27 wishes balm 30ml
    Raspberry sorbet high gloss lipgloss (I can take or leave these - feel a bit meh about the lipgloss but it was still great value).

    And an OUT - Trevor Sorbie mousse - my HG mousse - am down to 1 in use and 1 in the stash now - I was looking at the Boots website earlier and it wasn't on there so I hope it isn't discontinued. Will need to check next time I am in store and stock up I think.

    I do not need the LE, I do not need the LE.....

    A UU Champney's Hand Cream that was part of a gift set at Christmas. I'd used this on both hands and feet. Lovely stuff.
    WIB? I'm not a great hand cream user as my hands get very moisturised rubbing in face, body and feet creams. So possibly not, it is quite expensive.
    Tomorrow I may have a planned purchase. Aldi have the 10% Urea foot cream on special buy from tomorrow, Thursday. They also have a 5% Urea hand cream. I've got a few scraps of 10% Urea body butter left but this isn't back again. There's also a new Lacura range of foot care.
    Details here.

    Just think that the offer WILL appear again. Use up what you have and by the time you've done that it probably will be on offer again! :)

    Aldi offer looks good but think I will decline, still wading my way through the S &g hand cream
    Life is a coin, you can spend it anyway you wish, but you can only spend it once.
    Go as far as you can see, and when you get there you'll see further.
    Take time but don't waste time
