    I wouldnt have thought things like nail polish would go on freecycle? I have used it in the past for other things though.

    Everything in the world goes on freecycle! I've got rid of half-used make-up, old cat toys, old carpet......I've also got a few things too, namely old sheets to use as dust sheets for decorating and an uplighter.

    Give it a go, if you wanted it someone else will!

    Snowy and still snowing in yorkshire today, is it snowy where you are too? Kids are not happy that school is open, I just hope they don't decide to close at 11am like they have in the past.

    Have a uu

    Molton Brown Vitalising Vitamin AB &C Shower gel - 50ml - not my favourite of their scents, quite masculine, however I would be happy to use again which is just as well as I have a couple more of these in the stash.

    Have replaced it with a S&G i foam.

    Painted my nails in Maybelline Forever strong in Really Rosy - this is a lovely dusky rose colour but I don't find the formula particularly strong.

    Finally brought home my bag of (17) unwanted toiletries from a work colleague. Its not really stuff I even like or would use normally but it seemed impolite to say no! Even my daughter (7) wasnt really impressed, so I explained 'its the thought that counts' to which she replied 'I bet you wish she never thought of us'.

    If you don't like then is it maybe worthwhile dropping them into your local women's shelter or a charity shop. :)
    I hate for items to be thrown away when someone else could make use of it.
    Life is a coin, you can spend it anyway you wish, but you can only spend it once.
    Go as far as you can see, and when you get there you'll see further.

    I've just got 3 75ml 'Floriography' hand creams from £land to give as gifts - Sweet Pea and Peony x 2 and Tea Rose.
    Am@zon has a Lily and Apple Blossom Floriography hand cream for £7.95, so they are a real bargain. They are paraben and SLS free too.
    The boxes are beautiful - Art Deco-ish - a lovely, expensive looking stocking filler for a quid.

    Get ready to vacate the naughty step please whoever is currently in residence:rotfl:

    Ordered this morning 200ml Emma Hardie Moringa Balm, it was a really good price on QV*, they said it is the last of the stock of this size, I am having outbreaks of red blotches on my face again, cannot pin it down to anything topical I am using, but only using products that don't sting atm. My two HG cleansers have been LE C&P and the Elemis Pro-radiance one, but the EH has knocked them off the top spot, it is so gentle and leaves my skin soft, plump and glowing.

    Cold, sleety and snowy here, hunkering down for the weekend I think, tired after my few days away in Dorset, plenty of food in so might hibernate:)
