    One more UU this evening, chipping away at things gradually!

    Etat Pur micellar cleansing water. This came from a LIB box. WMBA, it's a reasonable price for a micellar cleanser.

    Did you like the Basil Lemon one? I am about half way through my "Pink Rose Candle" set of Korres Wild Fig, I love the body butter too as it is very rich but absorbs well (I loathe anything sticky). When I have got through my stash of gel I think I would like to try something non floral.

    Few UU:

    Liz Earle Skin Tonic 100ml - Love it! So refreshing & the smell is really relaxing. I have a few travel size ones to get through then a few other toners to work through but THEN I'll repurchase :)
    Clinique Take the Day Off for lids, lips & lashes 150ml - Well it works but it doesn't feel particularly nice. Quite greasy. I'll stick with my big ol' bottle of Bioderma instead.

    Damn, I've got 4 gwp size bottle of that Clinique. Maybe they will hav eto become stocking stuffers for my sons gf!:p

    Maddiemay - Wishing you a speedy recovery after your op. Since you will hopping about for a bit, get you OH to dig out and across body bag or ruchsack. Put thing you may need throughout the day in it so you can always have it with you. Went I blew my knee out and was in a wheelchair this helped my so much as I didn't want to contantly pester my BF to get this and that. It also helped my feel not so dependant too. I had hankies, mobile, house phone, MP3 bottle of water and loads of "things to do" stuff.

    Sorry to hear about Red Trudij.

    Two more UU's to report.

    Balance Me day cream - GWP from a mag. Quite liked this as it as suitable for my oily skin. Nice size too. I bought another mag for a second one to take on holiday.

    Nivea Facial Wipes - WBA does the job well enough.

    Still haven't bought any toilertries. I am now on day 58 :j

    Thanks Fiasco, I will do that, the hardest thing is a hot drink, yesterday I tried scooting along on typing chair with tray and cup on lap, bit of a struggle as it did not like wheeling on carpet and the door strip was a bit of a pig to get over, this a.m. was very proud, got full mug along worktops to door, then onto tv stand where I could just reach it from nearest chair:j (hopping on one leg not bouncing LOL)

    Well done on the 58 days:T
    Trudi, sorry about Red too, that is quite a blow.

    Rosemary, sorry you are not getting any joy re the *bay feedback.

    Maddiemay - hope you are soon on the mend.

    Trudij - Hugs to Red.

    Fiasco55 - 58 days - WOW, well done.

    Rosemary - take the Santander thing over the head of customer service. It may be a pain but satisfying if you get a result. Never had any real dealings with them but they are the worst for customer service apparantly. I have a Debs card so may find myself on the receiving end one day. I once had a problem with Barclays and I got in touch with Martin Lewis's newspaper column, they got me £100 goodwill payment and they printed a column about it.

    Have uu the Bamford Geranium shower gel as predicted. This is a eucalyptus shower gel really and I WNBA as there are cheaper alternatives out there.

    Hi ladies.

    Truid, sorry to hear about Red x

    Maddimay, take care with your recovery - glad the op went well x

    Well, I've now finished in my old job. Looking forward to Monday and a more stressfree one.

    Maybe the last UU of the month for me: Laura Geller Balance N Brighten. Love this foundation - is my HG so will repurchase. I bought Emma a pot of it in Porcelain shade and funnily it is suiting my skin colour though I have a tan still from the cruise so as long as it continues this way I'll use this up before buying another. They tend to last me about 6 months so all's good.

    The only other item I have that's spluttering is a 15ml tube of Elemis Neck and Bust Cream. Am gonna have a shower in a mo so will use some then and maybe it will be gone this time.

    Have some more OPI INS but they were a leaving gift. Got a set of 4 Nicky Minaj minis. I also got 3 x bottles of wine, 3 x boxes of choccies and a gorgeous bouquet of flowers. All in all yesterday was a good day. Went for a few drinks after work though and feeling a little muzzy this morning.

    Enjoy your Friday everyone x.
    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!

    I really like the Clinique TtDO, and it is a (rare) repeat purchase of mine. I find it gets rid of all eye makeup without needing to pull or scrub at my eyes. Since I wash my face after removing my makeup anyway, the fact that it has oil in it does not bother me - and I don't really find it very greasy anyway.

    Perhaps you should try one of the GWP bottles yourself before deciding whether to give them all away (although I'm sure your son's gf would love them!).
