    Ordering perfume online for a friend, and I've seen a really lovely tote bag that comes free with a bottle of perfume... I'm having to try really hard not to buy the perfume just for the free bag! I can buy the bag on eb@y for £16, but the perfume is £18.... Someone stop me!

    Could you buy the perfume and use it as a gift for someone, and keep the the bag for yourself ? That would make you feel less guilty and only £2 more than just buying the bag on eBay :)

    Possibly, I should probably just wait and smell the perfume at the weekend. I might like it, and my bottle is getting low... I'm just having to stop myself ordering it straight away.

    2 more outs to declare:

    Aquafresh multiactive toothpaste - WNBA did the job but there are others that leave my breath fresher.

    Lush Secret Garden bath ballistic - WMBA like the fragrance but not overly fond of the floating petals.
    No more buying toiletries

    UU Renu hair volume spray WNBA this was quite good when used with the shampoo and pre treatment conditioner but didn't wow me.

    UU Boots day and Night serum WBA really liked these especially the night serum really made a difference woke up in the mornings with lovely clear skin.

    A TA - a bit annoyed with myself, this was a good product that I'd mislaid, and when discovered it had leaked and looked rather unsavoury.
    Lacura Caffiene Eye Roll On. I think this is still made, but I wasn't hugely keen on the steel rollerball, so will probably give one of the standard Lacura eye creams a go, as I've noticed some in stock. I have nearly used up my Amazon freebie eye cream.
