A UU S&G hand cream finally gone, :jcan safely say I WNBA as the smell is horrible when it goes off.
Unfortunately I have discovered another one in my car,so will keep uising that on my feet.
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 time0 -
A couple of IN and one UU from over the weekend - not bad going at all as has been a long weekend with a shopping trip to Chester on Friday, did have a bit of a splurge, but mostly clothes and I don't have a stash list for those (Although I probably should.... :rotfl:)
IN
Primark 4 in 1 Face Wipes Twin Pack - not tried these before but for £1 it'd be rude not too!
Body Shop Cocoa Butter Lip Balm - originally bought one each of these for me and OH but he doesn't like it, says its too chocolately (as if there's such a thing?!)
UU
Argan Oil Treatment Shampoo - Must admit I misread this as Argan 'Oil Treatment' shampoo - was a gift from my Mum and she will buy things without reading into what hair/skin type they're intended for so I thought "Hmm I haven't got greasy hair, I'll use this as a handwash", which is exactly what I didSo can't comment on its effectiveness as a shampoo but did a fine job of cleaning my hands. Have replaced with Sanex Zero 0% shower gel as the next repurposed product for the bathroom handwash - just can't get excited about using this as a shower gel but I'm sure it'll be just fine for my hands.
Whilst I was shopping on Friday I replaced my foundation which is almost finished and L'Oreal had 2 items for £14 so got two which was quite a bargain as is something like £10.29 individually and I like to stock up as my smallish local Boots have stopped stocking it. Although I did notice that although the packaging is exactly the same its now called Matte Magique instead of Matte Morphose but is strangely still Morphose on the website, presume it is otherwise unchanged.0 -

Well Rosemary's two gorgeous boys (both son and cat!) have cheered me up! I'm 28, married with a kid and I still appreciate
Another UU for me this weekend - Lush Floating Island bath bomb. The date on it is April 2010. An old favourite of mine, makes my skin feel soft but didn't lather up much (possibly due to the age of the bomb!)
Hope everyone has had a nice weekend. I'm feeling like I'm coming down with something, after little one was put to bed I fell asleep on the sofa for an hour. Hoping to perk up tomorrow."Why, this is hell, nor am I out of it."0 -

Just bought the fridgefreezer from boots. Only got 816 advantage points but that's going to get me something
the freezer was cheaper than everywhere else anyways so was a bargain!
Then I got that deal from living social which is £10 instead of £5 points. Looks like I'll be doing lots of shopping in boots
Move in to my new house next weekend so am well chuffed :jMay Grocery Challenge : 64.81 so far

thank you for all the lovely comments about DS2,must admit he is a bit of a hunk,6 feet 3 with a great body:):):)and he is a nice chap too what more could a mother want?He called me yesterday to say they are planning to buy their first house together and that there was a big garden for Gary:rotfl:I did not tell him I had posted his pic:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:did say I liked his pic on fb and he said he was fast asleep and so was Gary and did not know it was being taken.
had a good weekend with supper at friends and a biuffet dance on sunday but have paid for it with weight gain:(:(:(:(Dh away thia week so will try to exist on lettuce leaves(and maybe the egg from SSBbox that finally arrived:rotfl:)
going to town tomorrow but not sure why as no need to buy toiletries and want to lose weight before buying clothes
planning to PYNM as DH started a dance on the wrong foot and took the tip of my big toe nail off so ruining my "carefully?"applied smashed finish nails:(
off on a mini break in a couple of weeks and thinking about a lux ped....do I need to go with naked nails?always find it hard to get the polish next to cuticles off.
anyone watching silent witness?is it me or is that programme getting more depressing and way out??0
