    Have uu's today:

    2 sachets of Philosophy Microdelivery daily exfoliating wash. Lovely to use, very gentle and skin feels very soft. Used one yesterday and one today and wish I had some more.

    Pantene Volume mousse - WBA, have replaced it with another Pantene mousse and that is the last one in the stash. No need to rush out and buy as these last for ages and I am thinking of having my hair in a shorter crop around Christmas time as I will have lost quite a bit of weight by then hopefully and when my face is a bit slimmer it really suits me.

    Me & DH wanted to lose 10lb for our holiday at the beginning of October and I have lost 7 with 4 weeks to go. I have to be in the right frame of mind and then weight just falls off but I also put it on just as quickly.

    Here's a question - I'm a perfume nut. What are your HG/signauture fragrances?

    My day time HG perfume is DKNY Be Delicious as it's quite inoffensive to most people and fresh and light. I also have some Moschino Love, which smells exactly like D&G Light Blue but it's a bit too strong sometimes.

    My Going-out perfume is Lolita Lempicka L, which smells like incense and chocolate and quite seductive really. Always get compliments when I wear this, but it's way too heavy to wear during the day. Oh and it lasts forever on the skin!

    My Special Occasion perfume is Chanel Coco Mademoiselle which I would wear ALL the time if I could afford it!

    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.

    Hey ladies. Have some INS and UU to declare:-

    After being all self righteous about not buying from QVC on Beauty Day I then went and ordered an OPI kit during the 7.00pm hour. Naughty step here with come.

    UU: TBS Earth Lovers Fragrance Free shower gel. Awful stuff. WNBA. Smelt musky. Have opened a bottle of Philsophy Sugar Plum Frost to replace it.
    Back for the No Buying Toiletries challenge. I pledge to only buy when I run out of a product that is not already in my stash no matter what wonderful emails land in in my Inbox or threads I read on MSE re: glitches!
