    I use WS and get them from Home Bargains as they seem to be the cheapest - not sure which one you use but I think they have a few different types. I think we were all in Tesco yesterday :rotfl: I saw the Balance Me hand cream too and was tempted as I've loved most of their products I've tried but I wouldn't have read the magazine it was with - Good Housekeeping I think? So I stuck with Glamour[/QUOTE]

    Thanks emjune. My razor is a Gillette Venus but as I said I'm mean so picked up the WS disposable pack at weekend. It's done the job but I felt quite a bit of chaffing on my left heel afterwards. You get what you pay for, I suppose!:rotfl:
    That was me! I'm glad I hadn't actually paid for it!

    Me too. Let's hope it's not a LHJ. x

    Good luck for your interview.
    INs, elemis lip balm from cosmo and hair oil from glamour. i have a slight excuse as it looks like ill be moving house next weekend and im trying to come up with things to do in my weeks without the internet, one of which is read magazines!

    Is it the L'oreal oil that is a freebie? Am going to bob out soon as I have shopping list from MrM and Emma for bits and bobs so may see if I can get one.

    I'm in again - thanks for starting us off Absinthefairy. Last month sort of ran away with me so I failed to keep up with the thread. I did however, manage 17 OUTs and 7 INs so net result at the end of the month was minus 10 items. I am really pleased with this.

    Am avoiding the Q today and have added £5 to my SPC instead. I really don't need any of the things - this is a major LBM for me...

    Hi Kiplingmonkey. Good to see you are still around. I didn't watch any QVC at all yesterday. I did however start bidding on a bottle of Spackle on Ebay.

    My first UU of the month is a Compressed Sure deodorant - this is supposed to last as long as the big cans but it really didn't so I wasn't particularly impressed - WNBA

    I finally got my micro pedi at the weekend which my brother bought for the in the States for £14, and it is absolutely amazing after just one use. At this rate I might even have respectable feet this summer! It also came with a manicure set which is great, little head that you attach so they file and buff at the same rate as you do your feet. Best £14 I've ever spent!

    Im still sticking about for the gossip :D

    Welcome newbies - hope you have a long and happy time here :)

    Thanks for starting the new thread Absinthe - can you do me a favour please? Tokkiandoliver is also admin for the facebook site - please can you put her on the list with me? I think it might be time to take off xoxo and Sara*a - I havent seen either of them for ages on the threads and it might confuse people?

    No problem, have updated! x

    Poor you, Tolteca - that doesn't sound like the most relaxing bathing experience!

    Thanks for the birthday wishes and happy birthday to dolly84 for the weekend. I am def liking the idea of birthday toiletries not really counting as INS/being allowed :D

    I also agree that hand creams and eye creams should have SPF in them - would be really helpful and save having so many different products.

    I am new to the world of beauty bloggers and have been enjoying reading lots of different blogs over the past few weeks. Unfortunately this has meant that I have bought lots of make up after being inspired! Also bought a Helmer storage cabinet from Ikea (after seeing on a blog) for all my make up :eek: Built it last night, found it a bit fiddly but it looks good :o

    Haha! Luckily I don't live too far away from one so it wasn't too bad. The Helmer is a good size - I bought the Antonius basket inserts to go inside it too (another idea stolen from a blogger!). I love Ikea - ended up buying lots of other little bits for my house too :)

    Hope you can go soon - bribe your boyfriend if you can haha
