Will do my updating on my stash tonight as I have a few UUs and INs to declare after a very difficult holiday away last week (husband and I had a massive row which is indicative of our relationship right now). But just wanted to update in case some of you remember the big exam I took in July? Got my result today and failed by 3%. Utterly, utterly devastated for lots of reasons.

sorry to hear about your holiday,sounds similar to mine:(hope you can resit/get your exam remarked

SuiDreams

I have more freebie ins won from a giveaway

Garnier Intensive 7 day Body Lotion 250ml

Plus a deodorant which I won't count as an in as don't count deodorants as part of the challenge.

Quite glad about these especially as starting to run low on body lotions, should save me a few £

UU

Lush Soap, Icey Blue - WBA, lovely minty soap
Elemental Herbology, Cell Food,2ml - WNBA as too expensive but a nice enough serum
REN Omega 3, Night Repair Serum, 50ml - WMBA im liking these overnight serums as my face doesn't feel tight and dry in the morning. Quite a pleasant smell aswell!

Catriona - that's bad news - hope you get something sorted on both fronts.

Me and DH had a bit of an argument today, we have a fridge in the garage which we use for things we can't fit in the kitchen one. I had filled it up with yoghurts, butter, cheese and the like and also made some meals and put them in the little freezer. I went in today and found that he had unplugged it on Saturday and not plugged it back in. Everything had to be chucked. I know he didn't do it on purpose but this is vintage behaviour for him. Very careless.

Have a little freebie in - Dirty works body butter - just a little mini one. Have used their stuff before and it is nice but I don't like the fragrance and as far as body butter goes for me it has to smell good.

oh no Catriona, can you get it re marked or resit it soon? xx

UU:
REN mayblossom cleanser - WNBA, i dont like the texture of this.
REN body scrub - WNBA far to expensive for what it is!

and FINALLY a Laura Mercier eyehadow UU :j:j got loads in the stash (inc a repeat of this colour in another set :rotfl: ) but a step in the right direction!

also, i have some INs. took out a subscription to Zest (i read it every month now anyway so already was more :money: ) and got 3 issues for £3 AND this as my gift came super quick too!

Oh no - big hugs. Hope you can get the exam remarked and/or resit as others have suggested.

Nice INs ES!

No movement on the UU front for me but quite a few splutterers so am hoping there will be more soon - think Sept will be a good UU month which is good as it will balance my INs. Hopefully next months Amarya box won't have quite so many minis!

even at university different lecturers may give slightly different marks for the same essay.

Hell, to the yea, on that one! Back in the stone age, before the internet, a "friend" basically retyped an essay I'd written a semester earlier for a Poli Sci course. I got a 78%, she got a 90!

She'd asked to borrow it to get an idea of what was involved. She slipped up big time when discussing NATO overseas garrisons, because my other half was stationed in Germany and I'd mentioned something very specific and she blindly used it. I actually asked the Professor how closely he read essays because as I knew of a case of plagarism that was ridiculous. His reply was he had lower expectations from some classes:eek:

evening all,

hugs to those that need them

uu - umberto Giannini hair mousse - the onein the black tin, I like this, it gives good volume and doesn't feel sticky, I've taken another one out of the stash

TA - johnsons baby oil gel - I have had to chuck this as it has very definitely gone off - smells awful, but in fairness, I have lost track how many years I've had this languishing in the back of the cupboard

only 2225mls of body lotion still to go!

happy pampering, xo
