    Babafette and Kiwisaver - I am having a similar problem with some items on my Project Pan list! :( I'm trying my hardest, but it seems like the moisturisers just aren't reducing.

    Having said that, I have two UUs today! :j

    Soap & Glory The Scrub of Your Life 200ml - good smoothing scrub, but at the moment WNBA just because I can't see beyond my stash!

    L'Occitane Cherry Blossom Shower Gel 250ml - this was a freebie when I bought my mum's birthday present. WBA. Gorgeous... but it might be a couple of years until I get through my stash!

    And a GA: Next Diamonds Eau de Toilette 30ml which I got free the other week. Giving it to a friend.

    INs:

    Sanctuary Body Butter 100ml
    Sanctuary Body Wash 75ml
    Sanctuary Body Scrub 50ml

    All very generously given to me by a child in my class for Christmas. Perfect travel sizes too.

    Hi ladies,

    Hope you're all well. I'm ill so feeling sorry for myself and had a rare soak in a hot bath in a bid to feel better.

    UUs:

    10. TBS Rainforest Moisture Hair Butter 8ml - this was a GWP and, whilst it's hard to tell from a sachet I probably WNB as didn't notice any effects.


    11. S&G Righteous Lotion 500ml - this was on my PP as, whilst I like this and it moisturises and absorbs very well, I'm a bit sick of S&G lotions so fancy a change for a while. Also, I prefer butters in winter.

    Hey Trudij - merry Xmas to you too :xmassmile

    Just a small UU today...
    Emma Hardie Natural lift and sculp plumping serum 10 ml - WNBA - wary of EH products since I had an allergic reaction to her balm. :( Found the serum to be a bit runny and didn't feel it did much.

    :wave: Hi everyone, thank you for all your thoughts and messages, very kind of you all :)
    I am feeling better, had a meeting yesterday with my union who are going to look at the legal document I've been given from work, but annoying work didn't give me the document :( nor have passed it onto the union. :mad:That was 2 days after the end of the consultation period and they wanted me to sign yesterday, how could I when I didn't have it:mad: It arrived later and I've went through and made some suggestions.
    I don't think there's any point going to a tribunal, it costs £1200 before you start and there was an article in the Metro yesterday that said half of the people who'd won their case were still waiting to be paid :eek: that's just so wrong. I'll just wait to get my statutory redundancy pay and then want to move on.

    Anyway back on topic, I have 4 INs from the BS via a magazine subscription - showergel, soap, butter and lip balm. It's from the new honey range, not tried that before and smells very nice. :)

    I also have a 2 OUTs - toothpaste and shampoo from my BF's house. I must admit not being there as often since I've not been at work so UU my stash is going slow :(The shampoo was from the Herbal Essence range when the bottle shape was being changed, reduced to 73p with 100 Boots ACM :rotfl:I stocked up them!!

    And my lovely BF has also surprised me with a week's holiday, on Thursday. Eeek 2 days notice!! :cool: a nice generous thought but also a bit stressful to try and get everything organised quickly. We've also spoken about going away at Christmas and not been able to because I'm always working, so this year he's surprised me :D
    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.
    Take time but don't waste time

    Asset that is brilliant news, you had better start packing and look out all your pink rose candle toiletries. Your employers seem to be a complete shower (the censored version).


    Have a great holiday and then a new start, good luck.

    Oh Asset, such good news! Enjoy your break, as Maddie says, pack your PRCP products.
    I've just been accepted on a trial for a hair colouration product. Which, I now realise, means I can't colour my hair with the other half of the Aldi Carino dye before Christmas like I was going to. Ah...

    *peers in mirror at stray greys*.

    Oh well, it's got the '£100 For All Toiletries in 2014' off to a good start.
