    yes I do like the products and while Dh is away am planning a beauty night using some of them up including the nail polish which is a very pretty fuchia pink:)I alos got the black one last time but have not been brave enough to wear it(DH hates nail varnish anyway)tho I have seen it on others and quite liked it.

    2 ins today(don't get excited ........
    Scholl Cracked Heel Cream Active K 60Ml it is on offer at tesco for £4.09 unstead of £5.09 but Boots have it at £5.49 but a second is half price,bit annoyed as checked Boots and the half price thing must have just gone on.
    planning a trip to town and Debs as have £15 on beauty card and someone said it only lasts 6 months(it said on their website that they say this in emails but they def did not on mine!)so thought might as well use it on some essential stuff(will NOT be tempted by bonus times as soooooomuch stuff in stash:rotfl:)

  • Hello all - enjoyed your comments about Rosemary's son yesterday - laughed out loud over VALMs comment was it a spot the difference? :rotfl:

    Have some UUs finally to report:

    Trevor Sorbie mousse- this is my HG mousse so was worried it is no longer on the Boots website. need to get into a store and stock up just in case as not many left in my stash now.

    Virgin Vie mint conditioning foot and leg gel - have had this for ages - being on the challenge is making me delve deep into the darker recesses of my stash which is a good thing. Actually quite liked this, especially the cooling sensation. However WNBA at the moment as have another tube in use and plenty of other body lotions and butters to keep me going for a while.

    Boots No 7 stay perfect eye cream (vanilla) - another oldie liberated from my stash - no longer made but was impressed with this. Seems to have been replaced with a mousse which I got when the £5 No 7 vouchers were last in circulation. Am using the mousse now - good base colour (vanilla) and seems to have good staying power and doesn't crease.

    Have more splutterers so hope to be back with some more OUTs soon. A good month so far with 14 outs and still nearly a week to go.

    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??

    Too tall for me........haha im only 5'2. I wonder how he would react if he knew all these woman were fawning over him :rotfl:

    Go on wear red. x

    I too don't think I could do the £1. spend a day on food. Will be intrigued to see how you ladies do it.

    No UUs yet but think I may finish off the tub of TBS Coconut body butter later. Will shop in my stash for replacement. Did not order anythihng from TBS. Very virtuous aren't I? Actually I'm now waiting for the LE TSV instead.

    Going now. Am going to do The Biggest Loser work out again. Good job I don't have to type with my thighs x
    Back for the No Buying Toiletries challenge. I pledge to only buy when I run out of a product that is not already in my stash no matter what wonderful emails land in in my Inbox or threads I read on MSE re: glitches!

    Evening all

    Hugs all round

    A couple of UUs:
    1 x 40ml AvedaFoot Relief - WBA, but I have enough foot cream for the next 10 years!
    1 x Lush We Three Rings Bath Bomb - WBA, love bath bombs

    And a GA:
    1 x 30ml L’Occitane Dry Skin Hand Cream. MIL was visiting and didnt have any hand cream with her. She didnt want to take the hand cream as L'Occitane is so expensive :rotfl:That one was a freebie anyway.

    I seem to be the only still in love with S&G? I keep the hand cream beside my bed :p

    Trying to make inroads into my foot cream collection, so I must slather it on each night. I'm using Avon Planet Spa African Shea Butter Foot & Elbow Cream.

    I've got some INs from Paris :o 6 were freebies though, they seemed to give out free samples with everything you bought over there!

    Bioderma micellaire water x 2 (was on offer for 2 for €2 more than buying one - rude not to! :money:)
    bioderma moisturiser sample
    sephora waterproof eye make up remover
    sephora set containing eye make up remover mini, moisturiser mini, body lotion mini and eye gel (bought because i forgot to bring a moisturiser, wouldn't mind but I'm swimming in the bl**dy stuff too!!)
    sephora nail polish remover (have got only one use left on current wipes so needed, was on the lookout for the posh new bourgois one where you put your finger in and it magically removes it but couldn't find any then saw sephoras own version of it so thought id try theirs)
    sephora eye comb/eye lid protector thing
    Nuxe huile prodigieuse - got it for about a tenner in a little pharmacy, sells for nearer £20 over here :money:
    Nuxe perfume sample
    Topicrem sparkling body milk sample sachet
    rene fureter hair treatment sample
    kenzoki body creme sample
    Dior nail polish (from the Dior shop on Av. Montaigne - i couldn't not buy anything)
    Dior Diorshow heat curl eyelash curler
    Dior miss Dior eau de parfum sample
    YSL travel palette with 4 eyeshadows, blush and 2 lipsticks
    bobbi brown eye brow kit with 2 eyeshadows, mini brow brush, tweezers, mirror and magnifying mirror (i was eyeing this up anyway and found it in duty free for £6 less than the high street :money:)

    one UU to balance out :rotfl:
    Jurlique eye gel sachet - WNBA far too runny! was so hard to judge how much i needed for it when i was getting it out of the sachet. would have been much better transferred into a pot, shame i had none free for it!

    Another UU: Sensodene Pronamel.

    WIBA? Yes. Cost Mr. Dentist said so.

    In other news, have been using my BS body scrub more than usual of late. Am impressed with the difference I can see on the upper half of my legs. :)
