    Does anyone know what happened to the Andrew Collinge Purity range? I used to buy the shampoo but I haven't seen it for a while :(

    Think it's been withdrawn Willow, according to Boots etc.
    The 'Colour' and 'Volume' conditioners are in Poundland currently and some Poundlands also have had the shampoos.

    Hi peeps,

    I have far too many toiletries that i care to mention but only come here occasionally as the talk about new products makes me wants to buy more, sorry weak willed.

    Anyway wondered if anyone knew of any other uses for facial toner or face mask. I have a few bottles and tubs but i'm defo not going to use them so before i bin them does anyone have any ideas what i can use them for.

    Also would a similar list not be helpful for newbies? e.g use face cream on feet etc

    BS soothing aloe night cream - WBNA but had 3 gifts sets for Christmas so already in stash. It's not a bad product just nothing special.

    Ooh I really want the Helmer cabinet! it means dragging my bf to ikea though (he hates it so so much!)

    IKEA is my idea of hell on Earth. Hate how I am made to wander all the way around it to find my way back out. We only ever get to go on a Sunday when it's full of parents who take their kids there for a cheap day out. Only good thing about the place is the meatballs.

    Hello I'm in again, last months totals where still a few more in then out but it was my birthday month plus I did stock up on some bargains and it was less ins the jan so I'm getting there!

    I stopped myself from ordering on L'Occitane earlier, my youngest (5 months) is ill and I'm super knackered so was going to treat myself as I had a discount and free p&p but then I reasoned I have everything I was going to buy in various small sizes so I need to use them up first as there is practically an offer every month!

    Anyway have to dash as she's so bunged up she cries whenever I lay her down but will hopefully get some time to catch up soon. Goal this month is more outs than ins!! x

    Hope you little one gets well soon - I remember how draining it was when Emma was so small and got ill. Take care. And well done on not putting in the L'Occitane order! x

    Phew, I made it to the March side! :T

    Just had my first two OUTs, both GA:

    1 - Philosophy foaming face wash, purity. Sold on ebay. Since I bought this my skin has changed and foamy things are not good, not good at all.
    2 - Added in an AVON anew sample.

    I can't use foaming face washes either. Do they make your skin feel tight? I was so disappointed that Purity made my skin like this (and it was the non-foaming one I used) as it was brilliant at ridding me of milia at the time.

    Hi everyone! Thanks for the well wishes, they worked as I got the job! Don't start my new role till June but I'll start the training for it next week.

    Tried the new MUA Volume mascara today and I am not impressed. It's flaked under my eyes and hasn't given me any volume at all! On to the new L'Oreal butterfly mascara!

    Congratulations on the new job.
    its Percy and Reed, they seem to just recycle the brands now!

    Thanks evilsquid. I completely forgot to look for the mag yesterday lunch anyway. I haven't been keen on the Percy & Reed products that I have tried so will leave it.

    Went into Boots yesterday but only bought the things on my shopping list from Emma and MrM - make up sponges, hair grips and toothpaste.

    Had a lovely surprise at lunch time. I run the lottery syndicate at work. We put on lucky dips each week and we have been lucky and won £10.00 twice already. I thought we had three numbers again but when I cashed the ticket in we had four so we won £60.00 instead. It would be lovely to get the six numbers though. x

    Another UU today. Elemis Pro Radiance Cream Cleanser. Am pleased that a full size lasts 2 months. As I had four in my stash plus a bottle of Lime Blossom cleanser am hoping I'm stocked for cleanser for the year. Have opened a new one this am as Emma is using it as well at the mo.

    had to go to the docs yesterday to do a medication review so when she said her usual "what seems to be the trouble?" I said nothing I feel very well!...have always wanted to say that to a doc:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:anyway it is not just toiletries that are discontinued....my psoriasis cream has been stopped so now they only make ointment which is so messy esp under clothes and on sheets,the alternative gel comes in a hard plastic containor so if you also have arthritus (common with psoriasis) it is very hard to squeeze any out :(:(:(:( and only comes in a tiny pack.and the bath emolient has also been stopped:(:(:(:(:(

    also on my flower arranging site they have stopped the oasis I use and it is 50% more on another site:mad::mad::mad:

    Dh woke at 4 today:mad:said it is my fault for giving him "orange" food as the same thing happenned last time (Waitrose sweet and sour chicken which I love as a treat when have no time to cook)well he is getting orange again today but he should not complain as it is salmon:rotfl:
    grass is white at the moment but forecast is for 13 degs so may get out in the garden

    Morning.

    Welcome newbies.

    Valm - I believe IKEA have withdrawn their meatballs as they contained horsemeat and the hotdogs. It makes me wonder just how much we have eaten without knowing.,

    Have two uu

    BS Seaweed face scrub - WBA, nice and scrubby but still gentle enough. Don't need to replace it for a very long time as I have loads of face scrubs, have moved onto a S&G Greatest Scrub of all I think it is called.

    Gum Hair Double Cream conditioner - WBA, get this for £1.99 in HB and it is really thick and creamy and makes my hair very soft.

    Also an in

    Percy & Reed no oil hair oil - free with Glamour, I like the mag and am a complete convert to hair oils so for £2 spend I am happy. I tried it this morning and my hair is lovely and bouncy and soft. It does have that strong scent that all their products have but I can't smell it on my hair now but you only need to use a little so maybe that is why.

    very frustrating morning,tried to buy something online and after first attempt got the message payment unsuccessful try again so did and same again.Called credit card company who said yes we can see the two transactions:eek:call the company and cancel one.Of course had to wait till customer services started at 9 then several calls later had to re call credit card as this transaction only showed with them.Why do I feel like it is my fault when they talk to me????so had to start again(used different card and all worked okay but would have been quicker to go to town!!!)Then had an order delivered only to find 4 of one item instead of two of two items:(...now the wrong ones cost 25p more each and can use but still need the other things.It is now 11.35 and got nothing done :(:(:(:(need a coffee before I venture into the garden tho:rotfl:
