    TBS Grapefruit body butter - WBA one of my favourites.

    Cutex nail polish remover - WBA is cheap and does the job.

    I am less strong willed than you:o a few days ago I succumbed to the Daily Telegraph/All boxed up one, it was a bit of a late response and I did not expect to get it, but e-mail received today to say it would be despatched later in the week.

    At least I can move someone else of the norty step:rotfl:

    Glad to hear your son is ok Rosemary, what a relief. Must have been really difficult for you being so far away.

    Argh there's so much temptation everywhere this time of year!! I have massive envy of the ciate advent calendar that I keep seeing everywhere. Did anyone here get a beauty advent calendar? I would have loved one but they all seemed so expensive.

    No UU yet, don't think there will be many this month as seemed to have a lot last month. Mainly on newish full sized products now.

    Hi all. Just a quick dash...another UU Sanctuary Hsnd Lotion (in a pump).

    WIBA? Got it in a 2 pump set along with the handwash in the Boots -75 per cent off sale. (Where on earth has the prfcentsge symbol gone on my keyboard?!) It's nice and I love the pump, but the Champney's seems to be absorbed slightly better into my hands, so I would probably go with that if I had the chance. Still, good product overall.
    Please call me 'Pickle'

    L'Oreal Revitalift Repair 10 sachet - the consistency was OK, but the smell was nothing special. I don't think my fussy skin likes this and it looks like I am now getting a rash so I wouldn't buy it.
    UPDATE: I most definitely will not be purchasing this product! My face is red and blotchy now and I'm supposed to be going out tomorrow. :embarasse :(
    Time may be a great healer, but it's a lousy beautician.... :/

    Make some room for me on the naughty step too please maddiemay - I had a despatch email from Yves Rocher (didn't expect it to be honoured!) so that will be 5 INs to add to the 9 from Kiehl's! At least I didn't cave at the Clinique GWP, though it was a near miss... I suspect my numbers this month will be pretty bad!

    Temptation is everywhere, it is a struggle to resist for me as I think if I don't get it now I will never get another offer like it. So far I have resisted Debs 15% off, Body Shop 50% off, the Clinique GWP to name just a few.

    I have some uu

    Mandara Spa Citrus Spice Shower Gel 50ml - this was the last of several of these and I am sad to see it go as it is gorgeous.

    Champneys Distant Shores Body Butter - this was a massive pot but it wasn't a chore to use as like all the Champneys I have used it is beautiful. I have a body oil in this scent left but I am not a fan of body oils.

    Epaderm - 500g - this was a prescription product for DD's eczema but I noticed that one of the ingredients is SLS which is added into it because it can be used as a hand wash too but we used it as a moisturiser and SLS thins the skin which eczema sufferers do not need so I used it up as foot cream.

    The weather here today is a bit extreme, rain and 70mph winds. School run was fun.
