    Trudij, behave! Have bought a pair of tweezers an tweezers today for DD's eyebrows. Also took her to get the middle bit waxed. She's been getting a bit self conscious about it and twice now when friends have been applying makeup to her, they have put in a big mono brow. Thought we'd take her to get it sorted before it becomes an issue. DH prints the stuff for the lady who owns the salon so he drove me down there and we popped in to ask if DD was old enough to have it done. Bless her, she's growing up!
    Also tried a little tester of the 17 BB cream. It's good for DD but I didn't stick any on my face so couldn't tell on me. Still waiting for mine to arrive!

    Rosemary, very handsome son and gorgeous cat, love the way they are lying in similar positions.

    hey guys,
    this thread has been moving quickly the last couple of days!

    UU for today

    BOOTS SOAP – COCONUT & ALMOND – 100G - WBA loved this. lasted about two months and was only 50p. have another in my stash.


    ENLIVEN COCONUT & VANILLA CONDITIONER – 400ML
    - WNBA. this was one of those cheap ones I bought from the shop across the road. It smelled a bit sickly and really didn't do anything for my hair. Very glad to see it go to be honest!

    Now for the INs :o

    Well before I begin I thought I did well not going for the many offers there are on shampoos and conditioners in Boots at the moment! It did take a while to convince myself I did not need them :rotfl: (twice they were put in my basket and taken out again1)

    INs (all from Boots)

    Radox Muscle Soak 500ml (this is mostly for him and was 1/2 price)

    Royale Jelly bath creme 500ml
    Royale Jelly Bath Essence 500ml
    these were 2 for £3.50 so thought I would treat myself

    Revlon Colourstay powder

    Natural Collection Samphire and sea minerals hydrating hair mask was £1 so thought would give a go seeing as I resisted the other hair products offers :p

    Ingredients Lavender and Jasmine Soap to give me a break from the other scented one.

    So for all of the above it was £17.01 - Advantage card points gained £1.04. Then I had £10 gift vouchers that I won at work, so overall paid £5.97! :T (I think)

    One UU today, pulp friction body scrub from the S&G ootw before Christmas. I had heard some bad reviews of this, but it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Won't be buying again though!

    Moving on to a liz Earle energising body scrub now.

    Love weesmiler xx

    Well, I thought my son was good-looking (and he is) but my goodness Rosemary, what a bonny lad yours is. Cat is lovely too.
    Some UU's awaiting, face cream is almost gone, Aldi body lotion is slowwwly going, but I don't mind if that one lasts a bit longer as it's better than what is lined up to replace it.
    As I typed that, an ad for Dove body lotion came on, with the news that 1/3 is off at Boots.
    I would be tempted but Savers will (nearly) always be cheaper, I'll go there when it's needed.

    nice cat!! :D
    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.

    I think everyone should put up pictures of their eligible sons... ;).


    I'm only 21, so no eligible sons for me to share- I will happily take part in the inspections though!
