    Well after a few barren months the UU's seen to be coming thick and fast at the moment:D

    My latest UU is a bottle of CK Eternity - NNTBA (no need to buy again) as I have several in my stash and another is already opened :eek:

    Happy bank holiday weekend everyone (and keep pampering:D)

    Another uu this morning, a gwp size clinique body butter. This is a really nice body butter, absorbs really well. I had a NPI in Cheshire Oaks in the Cosmetics Store where they had a 200ml pot of this with a handcream and another item which I have forgotton. I have so many other body butters etc so I didn't buy. WBA at some point maybe.

    Am having a good month for uu but spoiled everything with my epic haul over my holidays:(.

    Bother! I said that I'd look out for Aveda Damage Remedy haircare for someone and I can't remember who. Fried brains today...Was it you, tokkiandolver?

    Anyhow. Latest In Beauty have an Aveda box on offer and there are small Damage Remedy things in there. Here is the link:

    Don't look if you're not already an Aveda user! I don't want to knock anyone off their non-buying path :o (It isn't a fabulous can't-miss-it-offer. Honest!)

    Lots I'd like to reply to but I need to wake up properly first. Horrid insomnia/pain and my sleep pattern is way off. It will settle down - I just have to pretend it isn't a problem...(:eek:)

    Rosemary - I'm really sorry about your OH (not calling him DH). He sounds very controlling. :(:(:( *hugs to you*

    Morning everyone! Have a couple of UU to report:

    Naked Shampoo (the one for curly hair) - WMBA, I did notice that this (paired with the conditioner) did help to "awaken" the curls in my hair. But the scent was a bit strange.
    QUOTE]

    I've got the Naked volumising shampoo and conditioner and they also have a strange smell, not nasty exactly, just odd.

    Speaking of which I have nearly finished the conditioner. I have cut into the tube and should hopefully have enough for tomorrow but I am going on holiday and have some conditioner in a travel size bottle to take. Possibly the same but not sure - just hope it IS conditioner as not 100% sure!

    Yay! I'm glad that I wasn't imagining things :rotfl:I'm happy that it was helpful :D (Maybe it could be your next smoke-free week treat? There are some lovely things to try :))

    Suidreams - I thought you'd been a bit quite. I hope that things improve at work asap. *Hugs* Are you going to have a nice weekend to make up for a tricky week? I hope so :)

    No more INs but no more UUs either. I've switched my attention onto my clothes as it's free listing weekend on eBay and I've sorted loads of things to try and sell. Listing on eBay makes me really grumpy :rotfl: It's worth it in the end though :o

    Thank you Willowbee, will try and relax a bit this weekend. Unfortunately the dogs woke us up early this morning. I have a lot to do today including, going to the royal mail depot to pick up a mystery package. Unfortunately next week at work won't be any better, have extra work as its getting close to our holidays and I don't have any holiday cover. Can't wait for my week off though.
  • My first UU - listerine fresh burst (but two more bottles of the stuff in the store cupboard thanks to a bargain deal in Costco!).

    I was good yesterday I added two make-up items to my usual regime and I moisturised my body in a effort to decrease my moisturising lotion stocks!
