Gooooood Morning

I picked up the L'Occitane 3 handcream offer yesturday evening - lovely little treat to keep me going on my no buy challenge x

Wow hasn't January passed quickly?!!

After posting earlier that I wouldn't get to TC to L'occitane we are planning a trip on Sunday. This is due to us needing to start getting Emma skiwear for her Iceland trip in April. Am hoping to pick stuff up in the sales at Mountain Warehouse.

No, not sad at all to me. I love my Helmer too. Sometimes I just sit and look through all my polishes and marvel at their sparkly loveliness. Some of the polishes in my collection are well over 12 years old and still going strong.
I missed the photos! My bathroom here is relatively new after we suffered a burst pipe which caused extensive damage to our house. We used the opportunity to upgrade what was there and paid extra for marble tiles, a new bathroom suite and a new shower. I'm very proud of it, but I've only had one bath in it so far as I prefer showers now.
I hope your back recovers soon Fiasco and enjoy the jacuzzi party!

On reflection, some of my polishes are older than I stated, my SIL was a sales consultant for OPI once and gave me loads which are the old type with all the nasty chemicals:rotfl::rotfl: and pre- pro-wide brush, they are in fab condition to. I am happy to use them, I don't get it on my skin and am not likely to get pregnant at my age.

So my new PP list :-

[STRIKE]Elemis Pro Collagen Marine Cleanser
TBS Seaweed Toner[/STRIKE]
Vaseline hand cream
TBS Cranberry Joy hand cream
[STRIKE]LE Orange Flower hand wash[/STRIKE]
L'Occitane Verbena body scrub
[STRIKE]Molten Brown Ylang Ylang shower gel
Molten Brown Ylang Ylang body lotion[/STRIKE]
NSPA BB Cream
Elemis Neck and Bust Cream

And another one bites the dust! The LE handwash I was using at work has now spluttered its last. Have a new Boots Royal Jelly one to bring in on Monday. I liked the LE one but would not splash out on it for work especially. Will see how the Royal Jelly one performs.

Will probably bob on tomorrow morning to report my INs and OUTS for Jan. x

One UU, the Superdriug Vitamin E cuticle oil. WBA. Cheap and was very easy to use as part of my bedtime routine. Boyfriend liked it to and would close his eyes and pretend our pet rabbits were grooming his hands! (is that weird?)

Dare I ask how to get hold of one of these............?

I was trying to not ask that question, given the fact that I have so many hand creams plus body butters and lotions that could also be used for hands! Got about 3 hand creams on the go at the moment and bored with all of them but resisting the urge to open any others until they are gone. My Neutrogena is likely to last forever - HG but so unglamorous and boring. I've also got a Balance Me one somewhere and I hate this - think a few posters said the same.

Hi Ladies,

I couldn't get photobucket to work properly at all for pics of the new bathroom, so trying a different tack and taking a picture from Facebook. Seems to have worked better, might be too big this time! UU a Lush Bombardino last night, it was so nice, I only wished I have bought more, like bathing in a giant cocktail!! Also UU a Bomb Cosmetics Pink Bath Meltz at the wknd I forgot to declare, was pleasant at the time but left an almost off milk smell lingering afterwards, had this before and don't remember an issue so maybe just a dodgy one! Wasn't at all old as a Christmas present from OH so will have been panic bought not long before:rotfl:Enjoy the weekend, I will be mainly painting doors...

Evening all :hello:

Just reporting in at the end of the month as I haven't had any UUs (nor any INs) recently. Nor have I completed my Atrixo hand cream for the second month in a row - and it's been a Project Pan for 2 months too. :rolleyes:

Must try harder next month...

Sounds like your polish was fun - maybe next time he'll polish your teeth as well! :rotfl:


Jealous? Who? Me?

Good week for UUs:

Sanex deodorant, replaced with another one in the stash.
Nivea Gloss Wonder balm: WBA if I see it in Poundland, very moisturising and really highlights my lips.
Deep Clenz Anti bacterial hand gel: Replaced already
PP So Sinful EDT: So glad this is finally gone, been using it as an air freshener, hair spray, after gym just to get rid of it. WNBA Got sick of the scent very quickly. Will now rotate my perfumes as cleverly suggested by someone.

Went a bit mad with toiletry purposes this month but hope to do better for February now that Xmas/January sales are over.

ETA: Just bought 4 mini nail polishes from Debenhams . I should stay away from the grabbit board. :-(
