    Emsjune, how horrible for you. We had a water related incident, son showered and didn't have the curtain in place.
    Water cascaded behind the bathroom storage unit unseen and as the floor slopes slightly, it went unnoticed until it came through the kitchen ceiling.
    There was a lot.... This has happened before, but I'm normally hyper - vigilant.
    DS doesn't believe that it was his not having the curtain in place and we had a very nasty slanging match. He finds it difficult to accept responsibility for anything that goes wrong in the house.
    I think it goes back to when he was small and his father carped on at him for the slightest thing.
    Luckily ex was gone before too much damage was done to DS.
    Sorry, completely off topic!

    I experimented and used the Sanex bath cream as shower cream this morning. Worked very well, but it isn't a very exciting product.
    We had quite heavy snow during the morning rush hour today, when the weather's like this, wintry scents are still in vogue with me, so I'll be using the Avon cranberry & cinnamon gel for a while yet.

    My boyfriend bought me a set of these products last Christmas and it was done up like a box of chocolates and almost a shame to use! They were really lovely, just one that annoyed me a little as left tonnes of little bits in the bath! :rotfl: Enjoy!

    Had a bit of a fraught week last week, so was MIA - thank you Itzy, for starting the thread.

    A friend had been gifted a huge amount of toiletries and cleaning stuff, far more than she could use. She duly regifted. Stand by for Non Bought Ins.

    I now have a 600 ml Sanex bath cream for very dry skin (will use as foot bath), a 400 ml Pantene Anti Dandruff 2 in 1 shampoo, DS has a large men's S&G shower gel, also I have a 75ml BS strawberry body scrub (will use on feet again) and a 60 ml BS Moringa shower gel.

    I also had a S&G men's hair and body wash that I passed on to DD for DSoiL.
    DSoiL likes labels, so he will be a happy bunny.

    I am chuffed with all this, it will all get used.
    I had really wanted to try Moringa, as so many people raved about it, but I can't justify BS prices on my current income.

    I used the Moringa sg on Saturday, and I did like it. I also tried the Pantene and it really seemed to suit my hair, despite my not usually having a problem with dandruff.

    My friend recommended the Moringa to me and I've currently got a massive bottle of the shower gel which I love, although I'm alternating it with other stuff so I don't get bored. Your foot warmer sounds fab, my hands and feet are always freezing, enjoy!

    Morning!

    Another UU for me...

    Batiste Dry Shampoo - Floral & Flirty Blush 200ml

    WBA but I have 7 more of various flavour Batiste ones in my stash thanks to a glitch which made them 10p each instead of £2.99, so of course I stocked up!

    Ah thank you for clearing up the mystery, I must admit I did wonder when I saw your stash list why you had quite so many, I mean I know its a great product - at that price though it'd be rude not to and I've got to say I'd have definitely got more than 8 :rotfl:

    Thank you ladies, your thoughts are much appreciated. I'm feeling much better now the house is warm and the water is back on, last night I really was in despair, I'm a terrible worrier. I've a trip to the solicitors tomorrow and a meeting with the landlord on Thursday which I'm not looking forward to but OH will be with me for moral support (my flat, not his) and at least I should be forewarned of where I stand and what my rights are. An early night beckons xx

    I've got the Stay the Night one and quite like the matte look. Have never liked it before.


    Im sure that one was in my mini set - I think I just have to get used to matte and textured - sadly my nail broke today so will be sacrificing the rest as soon as I locate the clippers.
    No more buying toiletries

    Ems is there any way you could have the meeting somewhere that isn't your flat? I.e. neutral ground?

    You would be in your rights to not meet him and ask for everything in writing so that there can't be any "misunderstandings" etc, and I'm sure you know this but absolutely do not agree to undertake any costs/blame etc at the meeting.
