    Hello all, hope everyone's ok?

    Just back from the Bath and West show (well, I went yesterday but I've only just recovered), it was amazing? I love that show the more I go to it, spent quite a bit but no toiletries :D

    My new stash list is in the new thread but my final figures for May are......

    Used Up = 28
    Given away/thrown away/sold = 6
    Ins = 1
    Non-bought ins = 41
    Total for May = +8

    My NBIs are a lot more than usual due to me adding all my Boots review items and the free samples I've been acrueing, at least 20 of which were from that L'Occitane voucher! :eek:

    Final UU for the month - Avon Skin So Soft Original Dry Oil Body Spray.

    WIBA? You bet... this is the one that works wonders as a midge repellent. It's so good for moisturing when you are in a hurry to get dressed and lasts for absolutely ages.

    On the hand cream debate, if it wasn't heavily scented I'd go for foot creams as being fine. Many are peppermint scented though. I don't actually use hand cream very often, as rubbing in my daily body, foot and face creams tends to keep them fairly well moisturised anyway - however I'm aware that I'm lucky in having a job and lifestyle that doesn't mean I have my hands in water too often.

    May gone... Over to the new thread.

    Thanks maddiemay - and it's most practical for everyone for the person creating the new month to copy the link into the end of he last thread...stops us having to hunt for it. ;)

    Long may it continue! :T

    One more for May that I forgot to enter:

    31 - Tea Tree oil from the body shop. WDBA...once I've finished other antiseptic creams. I use these on spots and sore bits.

    Yay! Managed one a day again. 5 months running. ;)
    Cookie, I think you're tame. :heart2:
