    However, I had a fall last week and cut my head quite badly. I was taken to hospital and they decided I needed stitches. Unfortunately this necessitated them shaving quite a large area of my head. Luckily I have quite long hair so can cover it with careful styling - I have already been practicing my combover! I have decided that I need to treat my hair with TLC until it grows back, which may take some time. I normally wash it daily but am going to try to leave it for 2 or 3 days until I get some regrowth.

    Ouch! The fall sounds really nasty - hope you are on the mend.
    No UU's to report but I did a mean home pedicure last night. I even went to work on the hard skin with this. It's a good job MrMRN was working late last night... the biproduct of my preened pieds would have ruined the illusion!!!

    That's some serious pedi kit there - did it work well and would you recommend it? The John Lewis footfile I normally use was out of stock last time I looked.

    2 more UUs for me today:

    Lush rockstar soap - liked the smell of this and WBA. The downside seemed to be that it UU fairly quickly though, much quicker that HG L'Occ soaps - is this just me?

    Smashbox glitz lipgloss - this was a mini 2ml size. Nice colour, not too dark. I have a mountain of lipsticks/glosses etc to UU so won't be buying any more anytime soon.

    Mine is sitting in the sorting office ready for me to pick up! I ordered the peppermint in the end, I need something refreshing to wake me up in the morning!

    Where did you order it from? Trying to find the cheapest supplier...I may get through a fair bit of this yet! :D

    Have one of those rare and beautiful things - a makeup uu. Only a mini size mind, it was the little lipgloss which came with the UD Naked pallette, it still lasted ages though. I have been putting it on for the school run and walking the dog just to finish it. WNBA, nice colour but I'm sure a cheaper brand will do something similar, not that I need to buy at the moment.

    UU S&G Heel Genius at last...this went on for so so long

    I think there's something in S&G products that makes them splutter forever! My Heel Genius was "nearly finished" for about a month. I quite liked it though, one of the better products in the Big Splendour for me (not a fan of the original S&G very sweet scent).
  • A couple of UU

    - sensodyne toothpaste - WBA. Actually I probably don't need to list my tooth products on here - they're basically under control, where I have more than 1 it's because they were on 3 for 2 and it was silly not to take advantage. Tooth products aren't as exciting as other products and liable to lead to hoarding of different types.

    - Neal's Yard Rose Water - WBA but don't expect I will for at least a year as I have a ton of toner to use up - I tend to use a wash off cleanser in the morning and much to my shame its not that unusual to fall into bed without cleansing (I often don't bother with make up - despite the vast quantity I have :o)
