Happy Birthday Maddiemay, sounds like a lovely day.
I have just had a long bath to escape the football, I found it boring at the best of times and this match does not look like the best of times to me.
Anyhow have a uu, No7 Body Butter, lovely stuff, really love the scent and it absorbs well. Have no need to buy again as I have 3 more in the stash and also 3 of the moisture lotions. I do find the body butter expensive at £13 full price and still pricey with the £5 voucher off. Just one more use in the matching bubble bath too so that will be another out for june.Debt Free and now a saver, conscious consumer, low waste lifestyler

Football on here too, cross with myself 'cos I should have gone and had a bath, reorganise my stash or at least found something else to watch on TV in another room, even the dog is fed up, she has just climbed onto OH lap to try and get a cuddle:rotfl:The best thing about the future is that it comes one day at a time.

Currently watching the football with a chocolatey-mud mask on my face...
Just when I thought I was getting through the stash of shower gel (only 3 left)... My friend gives me a bottle of S&G clean on me 500ml. I have opened it already and I will try to use up as quickly as possible. After that, I only have a liz Earle body wash, Molton brown heavenly gingerlily and an aveda personal blend shower gel i got for my birthday. I will use the clean on me as shower gel and hand wash to try and get rid ASAP !! XxxAll you need is less0 -
HAHAHAHAHA - Clean on me doesnt know the meaning of the word "quickly", it breeds....Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup0

Hello ladies!
I have another out:
Just some boring coconut oil- I use this as an exfoliator with a generous dollop of salt- I would buy it again but I have another huge jar to get through first.
I'm going through some toiletries as I am off on my jollybobs soon- I found a sample of sun cream for the body ( I don't want to take too much as we're doing carry on luggage as it's a city break)- guess what it weighs in at? (Highlight if you want to know the answer)
59 ml! How irritating!0 -
Replacing something you've used up is fine MoonJelly - and welcome back! I really do live a sheltered life, I've never heard of half of the products on your list. (This does not apply to Vaseline, Herbal Essences, Jolene, Palmers, J & J, or Revlon.) What is Black Soap shower gel? Sounds intriguing...
Not much to report at all, but I've tried the first mystery shower gel I got sent to trial . Well, it's not much of a mystery as the bottle has a very distinctive shape.
I looked at them in Wilkinson's today and there wasn't one remotely resembling the colour in the bottle. So it is a new launch product or relaunch.
The gel was a good one, fortunately. Lovely foam, skin felt fine afterwards but scent was a bit of a puzzle, as it wasn't remotely like the ingredients would have led me to expect. I'm relieved that I liked it as I will want to use it up and not have it cluttering shelves up for months.
At the moment I have a couple of body lotions that are under-performing and I hate that, as I enjoy my pamper time post shower. I used a new-ish Vaseline Essential Care today and it left me rather sticky.
I can't remember a Vaseline lotion doing that before.
On the other hand, with one (Nivea Pure Care) not rubbing in and one leaving me sticky, at least I can swap them round and not have the same irritation every day.
Belated Happy Birthday Maddiemay and well done on all fronts (weight, NPs, DH treats), ValM.Erma Bombeck, American writer: "If I had my life to live over again... I would have burned the pink candle, sculptured like a rose, that melted in storage." Don't keep things 'for best' - that day never comes. Use them and enjoy them now.0 -

I wasted the time as well flicked through tv and couldn't find anything worth watching, tried to read book and couldn't concentrate on it. Later on realised should have done some pampering like using face mask as haven't used one this week. I did manage to sort out my work clothes for tomorrow,so I at least achieved one thing.0 -
Birthday IN's
L'Occitane Travel set of shea butter shower cream, lotion, soap and 2 mini handcreams in cute little oilskin bag.
Some of the other lovely birthday IN's were plants from OH and Mum and a lovely glass tea light holder from OH. Just come back from having a gorgeous and huge afternoon tea. Going to collapse and zzzzzz while OH watches footie later, and a real bonus the sun has shone all day:D
Sounds like a lovely birthday treat maddiemay. Happy birthday ( in case I forgot to say).
Lovely stash list ilovecakes.
I have a TA - Clinique lipstick Shy. Bit gutted as I can only get this shade in the states. It broke off - maybe coz it is a bit old now. WBA when I can.
