    Thanks And, glad its not just my OH who seems to be socially phobic, especially when it comes to my family! Its kind of been forgotten but he's in for a surprise if he thinks I'm going to that party!! :rotfl:

    You're so right about the new shops, I'm really looking forward it it - I used to be near enough to walk to work and have to drive everywhere else but now we've moved offices a few months back and the new shops are coming, it'll be the other way around!

    An IN from lastwek but only brought it home today - perfume and body lotion set from my BF for my birthday. :) Without sounding ungrateful I really don't need it so perhaps will try to regift it :p

    I'd like to join in, I always like to pamper myself
    and I haven't used hardly any of my toiletries I've been given at christmas.
    I'd like to start using it as I have so much stuff and need to clear out as I'm getting a new double bed which will take up most of my room.

    I've never done a challenge like this though so I'm really new :D

    Another UU, ladies! Sanctuary Hand Cream. WIBA? I really liked it: it was rich but easily absorbed and made my hands feel smoothilicious. The only had point is there is no SPF in it - when are the manufacturers going to start putting it in more commonly?!

    I use a Time Delay one that has SPF 8 in it, got through a glitch at Boots a good few years ago. ;) I totally agree that a SPF in hand cream is important, the condition of your hands is one of the biggest giveaways of your age. :(

    Goodness this thread moves really quickly.... Or maybe I've not checked regularly lol

    Well oh is really annoying me today, this morning he was in the shower and his shower gel ran out so instead of using my shower gel he said he couldn't see any so used the 'purple stuff' eh that would be my daddy o shampoo from lush then!!!!

    Really stressed today at work and new systems in place so started house work tonight to de stress but also so I could relax at weekend... He managed hoovering.., ghee what a contribution!!!

    Sorry ladies... What a moan and I'm just new on here too I'm sorry, how rude :(:(

    On another note I have started moving my stash so hopefully get another few items used up. Looked some sample face masks n body lotion n hair masks which I think I'll use it the gym over next few days :):)

    Keep up the good work ... X

    Hello, may I join for this month? I have joined in previously and thanks to keeping the idea of 'no buying unnecessary toiletries' in my mind it has helped me a lot over the past year or so!

    Will report my UUs :)
