    500ml Bayliss & harding orange & lemon hand wash - WBA bought for 99p from home bargains - was a pleasant fragrance and did the job.

    3 UU to report:

    Seaweed therapy shower gel - freebie from a hotel
    Seaweed therapy shampoo - freebie from a hotel
    Tea tree and witch hazel exfoliating face scrub - bought this because I had a money off/points deal that meant it cost me about 50p, but I used it up really quickly because I wanted to get on to a better scrub I bought. Not very MSE I'm afraid...

    UU:

    24. Dove rich moisturing creme 30ml - WMBA, nothing special but did the job.

    25: No7 P&P hand cream 25ml - reporting this now as reckon it only has one use left so will finish today. Prob WNBA, bit too greasy for my liking and leaves my hands looking very shiny! Have to make sure I don't use it if i'm going to have to shake hands with a client anytime shortly afterwards otherwise it's a bit embarrassing!!

    A couple of splutterers so have high hopes for more UUs today :)

    Rosemary, enjoy your pampers, God alone knows you've earned them... I would agree that it does sound as if your OH has been depressed. - bipolar passed through my mind and would explain a lot of things, wouldn't it?

    No news on my front on toiletries, other than v. impressed with the Lacura BB cream I got from Ald! the other week, sod's law that it's a special and not part of their normal range.

    A buddy has asked me to get some cheapo toiletries that don't look cheap for birthday gift bags for two friends of hers.
    We don't have a Home Bargains that's very easy to get to though we do have a BM Bargains and Poundland/Poundworld.
    This is the sort of challenge that I enjoy, and as I have free bus travel it won't cost me anything. I hope I cam resist temptation for myself.
    Just wish I'd cleared the shelves of Floriography when it was in Poundland!

    I tried the new Timotei SLS free conditioner, can't remember if I said I was well impressed, but I was. Mine was the normal/greasy variant. Funny how not many shampoos seem to be for greasy hair these days, other than bargain basement own brand ones.
    Erma Bombeck, American writer: "If I had my life to live over again... I would have burned the pink candle, sculptured like a rose, that melted in storage." Don't keep things 'for best' - that day never comes. Use them and enjoy them now.
