    Glad to hear your SSB box is on it's way Rosemary :) Feeling the same with the weater; a bit lethargic. Roll on summer!!

    Scrappie, you're welcome!

    So slow this week, I keep forgetting things. Like when I got in the shower yesterday and realised my shower gel had finished and I hadn't shopped in the stash for a new one yet! Just used sister2's S&G one instead :p

    Feeling really sour and grumpy today :(. Argued with everyone this morning. DH has the alarm on his side of the bed and instead of switching it to the radio so you can wake nicely, he has it on buzzer and presses snooze every 10 minutes for about an hour. Then wonders why I can't wake up and am grumpy. Selfish ar5e!
    Hope I can shift this mood though :o

    I am sure the weather has a lot to do with our moods,hope the day improves for you
  • You're welcome Scrappie :) Hope you're feeling a bit better.

    Alarms are rubbish Kaz aren't they! I went home to see my parents last week and my brother (who still lives at home) had to get up at 6.30 for work. His alarm went off for ages every morning and always woke me up, even though my room is at the other end of the landing and I keep my door shut! Even then he still needs my mam to go and shake him awake as the alarm doesn't seem to reach him :eek: I don't know how - my alarm wakes me up really easily each morning even though I wear really effective wax earplugs!

    Waiting on some UU before I start on some of the beauty box products, determined to cut down on the number of open products I have. I had loads of UU last month but it seems to be slow going this month.
  • Got a UU to report and some INs. UU is TBS Aloe Calming Cleanser - very good and bought another one last week as I knew this one was nearly gone.
    INs - Palmolive shower gel, Garnier body lotion for sensitive skin and Garnier hand cream for extra dry skin - didn't exactly need them all now but had voucher and they were on half price special offer so only cost me £4.14 for all 3. However, I'm down to my last shower gel and have nearly used up all body lotion, so not too bad :)
