    Been out in the garden today, my back is aching and I have nettle stings on my fingers, doesn't look like I've made much impact though! :(
    I have a UU - Boots Expert hand cream WMBA if a good offer, thick and creamy and felt it did work well.
    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.

    UU

    garnier simply essentials 2 in 1 makeup remover- WBA- definitely, a HG! Looking back I think I've had this open for since last January so it is very :money: when bought at half price. I should add that I used this a couple of times a week as I mainly have shower/use wipes in the evening. Have another in the stash that I've dug up.

    I'm coming to the end of some hair styling products which is very exciting because they take forever to use up!

    I've been out all afternoon at a cubs Olympic games event. It was good fun and stayed dry despite the strong wind. I felt compelled to go and talk to the organisers about one group we had. They were the largest group (10 children) and they were exceptionally well behaved. Very well organised and sorted themselves brilliantly despite being split into different packs. Must have been weird for a lot of them as I was running my base with DD's headmaster :D.

    Now need to go and remove my nail varnish as I'm working tomorrow night and need to have the time to get rid of any staining and moisturise them :)

  • Wow that was a lot of catch up reading! :eek:

    I have 3 UUs: :j

    1. Aussie Long hair conditioner (still going with the shampoo - shampoo always is a LHJ compared to conditioner for me!) still using up other conditioners so no need to buy more!

    2. Radox hand wash - the Tea Tree one WBA as I love the smell and seems to make my hands feel better than the Carex stuff I then switched to but today have replaced with some more Radox Tea Tree hand wash as it was not doing me any good. Will give the Carex stuff to mum as she wanted some for the kitchen.

    3. Finished up a pack of St Ives sensitive face wipes, so I purchased some Skin Therapy ones from Sainsbury's to replace them - not sure I like the Skin Therapy ones this time, seems to have reacted funny with my face - am not surprised in a way as everything is currently causing me issues!!!

    That does mean I have 2 INs mentioned above but also another 1 from today and not sure if I mentioned it last time but I got the Glamour mag's moisturiser and after a couple of uses am not sure if it works with my skin so might be handing this over to my mum as well... :rotfl:

    Didn't manage to clear up any more stuff from the bathroom as its been a hectic and depressing week that ended badly for me but I am no longer at work after Tuesday so will have a while to use and clear things up whilst not spending anything until I get a new job.

    Have started painting my nails again so my Lovely Nails Inc Victoria polish is getting used and helping me not to bite my nails :D

    Hopefully the next few days will be kinder to me than last week was *hugs* all round as they are always needed :) x
    Finally debt free! :j :j :j

    Hello Ladies!

    2 UU this morning - so £2 added to my pot

    Nspa body scrub, vanilla - WNBA. This was a gift - so thank the loard I didn't waste my own cash. It was soooooo watery, not what I expected at all.

    Philosophy microdelivery face scrub - WBA. HG for me.

    Had three in's yesterday -my QVC order ofa philosophy microdelivery set arrived. Used the full 'peel' earlier this evening, totally forgot how much I loved this product! I have a lovely big bottle of the face scub ready for use in the shower this week.

    Hope everyone had a lovely day.

    I do hope that things pick up for you soon. Virtual hugs.

    All the talk of Paradoxal made me go and dig mine out and I too have Paradoxal and SV on. Thickly annointed with oil and hand cream, so hopefully a very quick clean up in shower tomorrow.

    ValM. I have been wanting Leading Lilac for ages, just ordered it with another Supermodel tonight from Q** (nail polish excluded from no buying. Lovely sunny day here, a tasty but easy supper and now watching Wallander:j

    Well done to all those with UU's, I (at last) have a few bits to report, will catch up tomorrow.
