    ready meal for one as DH had to go away again :(
    okay for him in a 4 * hotel with dinner!!!
    third time alone this week and two nights last week :(:(


    booked his hotel and printed the email but he did not take it and the hotel tried to charge him again!!!plus place I told him to phone first about new wiper blades as his broke on the road were closed when he got there after I read on their website they were open till late :(
    all my fault of course....imagine angry icon here!


    sorry nothing to do with toiletries!
    have actually been very good this year(apart from a few things I really needed/wanted!)so much stuff in the stash from beauty boxes from over a year ago and they all seem to repeat the same stuff so not tempted.
    doing a craft fair on Saturday so wish me luck as really need to sell some stuff as made loads now.


    bought a skirt on fleabay on Monday ...only 99p but had no word of it being posted and there is some neg comments about the seller not sending stuff,just what I need after the buyer not paying last month.that case is now closed so can sell again hopefully when free fees weekend.(maybe fleabay clothes are the new toiletries?!)have a few items for sale(make up from Benefit I did not want in a mixed box) but not much interest so far :(

  • Just painted my nails with nails inc fenchurch street plus used Kensington caviar top and base coat. The top coat is amazing - dries in 45 seconds! My nails are a chocolate colour which is making me want to eat chocolate! :rotfl:

    Just caught up on the thread.

    Happy birthday Sundays girl . Asset I can't believe your work colleagues either! Shocking. I agree with all the other advice given, I wouldn't bother spending time with them. Hope the job hunt is going ok.

    I wasn't interested in the LIB box either, had a look and nothing stood out to me. Just as well as I am not buying any make up this month. Hope you're enjoying your night in Rosemary - at least you can watch what you want on the tv :rotfl:

    1 UU from me:

    14 - Sure Roll on deodorant (can't remember the name) - WBA, I always buy whatever deodorant is on offer, always get roll ons though as I prefer these.

    May have another UU shortly as I'm going to have a bath. Feeling annoyed as my debt hasn't gone down as much as I thought it had. I can now check my loans online but couldn't previously so hadn't been including the interest added. On the plus side, at least I can monitor it all more closely now.

    Thanks everyone, very very useful advice :) After reading the suggestions I think I can come up with a few excuses to not see them.

    Back on topic, finally have 1 UU - a rose cream (can't remember it's correct name) from Weleda, bought over 18 months ago when there was a good deal on (obviously), I think 5 items for £5 so WBA. But not just now as have other ones to use first. :)
    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
  • Happy Birthday Sundaysgirl - hope you had a lovely day.

    Ins

    Colgate toothpaste - for DH overnight bag.

    Another lipbalm - DD keeps getting these taken away at school whilst I appreciate there are rules her lips get cracked and bleed if she doesnt apply.

    UU

    Moshi Monsters mouthwash - DD likes characters on her products.

    10g L'Occitane shea hand cream - WBA one of the few handcreams I can bear to use.

    30ml DHC deep cleansing oil - WBA one of my HG cleansers.

    28ml Melvita orange blossom toner - WNBA couldnt bear the smell.

    Have painted my nails with Liquid sky Lacquer - Are you a good witch?
    No more buying toiletries
  • Happy birthday Sundaysgirl, hope you've had a good day.

    Happy birthday Sundaysgirl, I hope you've enjoyed the rest of your day. :)
    Time may be a great healer, but it's a lousy beautician.... :/

    Sundaysgirl, I am sorry about missing out your birthday! May it have been a good day, but the rest of the year even better.
    The parcel postie brought me something to trial... all hush-hush, lol. He also brought me two Cushelle koalas...
