Lol! Yeah well we've been together forever (12yrs) and since we technically got engaged in 2009 and we only just got round to getting me an engagement ring (with 3 young girls the money was always needed for something else) so I thought I'd better just get the wedding bit over and done with or it would never happen lol (so romantic, me!)

Anyways it's official as of today....it's gonna be on 23rd May this yr....just a small thing!

aww that's lovely, congratulations

Congratulations, it is lovely to hear good news:D Are the girls very excited?

Thanks!

The girls don't REALLY know yet although I do have fancy dresses for them to wear hanging on the outside of my wardrobe, lol!

OH's mum is a bit of an 'my way or no way' type so trying to keep it as hush as possible till as close as possible! Although we are pretty much organised! No big fancy wedding for me the registry and then a small sit down meal with friends (and parents and kids) and a bit of a party at night

Congratulations! :T:T:T

Back to the vat sized bottle of l'occitane almond now for a while, I'm not that enamoured with it either but it's going to be around for some time , ah well.

If this is the almond oil and you have a bath, try pouring some of it under the hot running tap. It goes milky in the water and softens the water and your skin beautifully. The bathroom smells amazing too :j

sjprmc01 - Congrats!

I haven't checked in in a while.... But I have another UU today! Yet another dry shampoo. I honestly don't use that much but it does seem I've used some out of all of them lol. So finally I'm down to 2! yay!

minicooper - I'm a bit funny about breaking into gift sets while I still have loose products, but I'm trying to overcome this (making some progress!) as finding that this leads to my stash getting out of control and accumulating some pretty old gift sets still in the carrier bags!

I'm glad it isn't just me! I have 4 hand creams in various gift sets, and found myself considering going out and buying a new hand cream so I didn't need to break into the sets... Then I realised how daft that would have been, and opened the oldest set.

Congratulations sjprmc01

I could just about open a shower gel shop with all the shower gels I've bought recently. I am struggling to decide which one to use next, as I'm breaking into gift sets now - does anyone else feel you should use all the little loose products before you break into a gift set?

Im the other way - I remove all the packaging from gift sets so more stash fits it the available space.

Congratulations sjprmc - I hope you have a lovely time planning your wedding.

Todays UU:

Bath puff - this time it was DD's that unravelled.

Lush shoot for the stars bath bomb - WMBA I usually let DD choose our bombs.

Estee Lauder serum sachet - WNBA think this was the last sachet in my stash and I dont feel its made a difference - cannot justify a full size purchase.

28ml Elemis white flowers eye and lip make up remover - WNBA ineffective - think I have another GWP in my stash.

Picked up a leaflet in Lidl today, They have a new perfume - Suddenly Diamonds - it is supposed to be a dupe of Boss Orange. Not tried it yet.
There's also Suddenly Madame Glamour, and a gift set (200ml Body Lotion/Shower Gel) - all are £3.99 each or any 2 for £7. I have a few of the Suddenly Madame Glamour and used it for going to work.

X-Bolt EDT for men (copy of Boss Bottled) is down to £2.99 as well.
