    Gemguin, I forgot to say that Lush does 2 scalp treatments both of which I have used and they were both brilliant but a bit of pain to wash out. I had to rinse my hair 3 times at least. I think one is called snake bar which you can buy online and in the store and the other one is a retro one which you can only buy online.

    Happy Birthday, ladies :)

    The shampoo and conditioner were from a market research company and the way the scent lingers on my hair is fabulous.

    One UU freebie toothpaste - Colgate Max White. Good but not my HG.
    One In freebie skin cream to join the stash.

    Gemguin - Last year I randomly started getting an itchy scalp and really bad dandruff. Switched to Sulphate free shampoo and my scalp has been a lot better. I have used a couple of the naked shampoos and they are ok, also like the L'oreal Ever range and Tigi Extreme Volume.

    1 IN for me, VO5 dry shampoo, was half price in superdrug, only have mini batiste cans left and like to save these for when I travel to Oxford which is at least once a month so these will get used!

    1 UU LE C&P 30ml, really love this and it lasted ages, but not so in love with the price :(
    Have a few cleansers to work my way through then I will try one of the superdrug hot cloth cleansers to see if I'm converted!

    Feeling a bit rough today, so might have a bath later to try to relax :)
    Addicted to MSE, I can't resist a bargain ;)

    Have two uu to report

    No7 Cleanse and Care eye makeup remover - gwp size, I WBA but I do find that it really soaks into my cotton pad so i have to use more of it than other brands.

    S&G Breakfast Scrub - I would be happy to use this again but once my current stash of body scrubs is gone I will try to just use my body brush and gloves, better for my pocket and the environment too.

    DD has baked me a cake today, all by herself too, have had a slice with probably my ninth coffee of the day so far. Friends have been round (loads of people all arrived at once including an Avon customer, the Kleeneze man and the postman and the dog was going ballistic it was chaotic here) with wine and more chocs, candles and earrings. Feeling very lucky today and still have Mother's day to go.
