    Val, you mentioned a problem with printing coupons. There is some special coupon printing software that you are prompted to download for use with most coupon sites, I wonder if your firewall is blocking the download? Off the top of my head I think it's called CouponSafe.
    I've printed off some super offers over the years, it seems a shame you can't get them.

    Some free goodie bag INs from today.

    Dove hair therapy hair oil
    Nivea soft cream
    Colgate toothpaste

    Also some non toiletry items

    Tetley blend of both tea bags
    Kopiko coffee treats
    Half spoon sugar

    We had a good time at the show. There was a lot more exhibitors there today than the last few years. I only go now if I get free tickets as it just wasn't worth the cash. Luckily in the last four years I have managed to get free ones. I am sure you will enjoy it tomorrow itzybitzy.

    :j:j:jCONGRATULATIONS for whizzing past 200 UUs Ma-ri-ella! :j:j:j

    I don't think that I'm going to get many UUs this month because I've been opening new things :o I was looking at the body scrubs that I've been trying to UU and realised that they all have probs (!) so in true PRCP style I opened a super-fancy Bliss body scrub and used it this evening. It was much better and it felt good to be using it rather than leaving it sitting at the end of a very long queue...This month I'm trying to get into better body care habits :) I'm still focusing on using up older facial products though because I don't want any Neal's Yard stuff to be wasted. :)

    VALM - huge congrats to Emma for doing so well with her exam :j

    Did you see Prometheus in 2D or 3D? My local cinema only has one showing per day of it in 3D and the 2D showing would be in the massive main screen, so I'm a bit confused as to which to go for..

    Thanks Willowbee. At Christmas Emma will be grading for her 2nd Dan in Freestyle Ju Jitsu. She's amazing to watch.

    We saw Prometheus in 3D. To be fair I don't remember many popping out bits of 3D but the picture had real depth so I'm guessing it was 3D all the way through.

    We saw the Avengers film last night as well however because it's getting to the end of it's run it was only being shown at 8.45pm. Guess who fell asleep.

    tokkiandoliver -glad that it's no just me that can't remember to used body lotion!! Have set myself a target to use it EVERY day in June - so far so good. My 400ml Decleor BL is now spluttering. [/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]

    Come on ladies. Moisturising is so important. I'm nagging Emma at the moment about this and exfoliating especially in readiness of our cruise in August.

    Valm - I'm just coming to the end of my Sugar Crush, do they still do it? Can't remember when I last bought it. I do love it tho. With my BL target, I also plan to use many more scrubs this month - am really going to make an effort!


    I'm pretty sure S&G still make Sugar Crush. It used to be part of their Spa range which now seems defunct.
    VALM - We should do a swap haha as I absolutely hate sweet smelling body stuff, and you love it :)

    Have PMed you. I'm up for a swap.

    How do your body scrubs have probs? Have they gone off?

    Willowbee - I second the idea of trying aveda damage remedy. I use it once a week, and I love it. It's the restructuring treatment conditioner xxx
