Welcome back! Good to see you again.
There are quite a few of our old friends who no longer post -some are around on FB, so I know they are OK.
I often wander down toiletries aisles. I linger over products. Then I think of the fact that I am trying to de-clutter the bathroom and bedroom, not re-clutter it, and that I would have to confess all on here. That usually stops me.

Sorry it won't let me multi quote so I will just say thank you everyone it's lovely to be back

*waves to And*
Good to see you're still here! You'll be glad to know I still remember the pink candle sentiment even when I'd graduated because I finally used up my Molton Brown shower gels! Goodness knows what occasion is special enough for shower gel..

I've been off this week so I've been having a bit of a pamper before bed to try and finish those PP items and loving the effects! I've also cut open the nivea lip gloss so hoping that goes soon.

Thank you maddimay for the recommendation! I think I will try the boots vitamin E one as I'm not sure I even need an eye cream (but I'm told by every magazine and blog it's necessary!)

I don't have a day job at the moment, sadly. At least not a paid one. The outcome to the applications I've put in recently has been 'close but no cigar'. :mad:

Hi noelphobic. I hope you didn't take offence at my original post then. It really was an off the cuff remark.

IN #7: Jergens Ultra Healing Extra Dry Skin Moisturiser 350ml; I really didn't need this but it was reduced to £2.74 I think, and I haven't used their stuff before. It's in a pump bottle which I'm hoping will encourage me when I'm showering in a rush in the morning. 'Cause y'know, unscrewing the lid on a pot of body butter is such a hardship. No excuse *slaps own wrists*

This made me smile when I first read it this morning on the bus. I was thinking there am I moaning about having to put my Elemis oil in kettle boiled water to use it when you have to actually unscrew a lid on your body butter. I feel your pain, sister. xx:rotfl:

I often ask myself the same question when I look at the number of bottles of shower gel I too have been saving for a special occasion! :rotfl:

Meant to add 2 more UUs:-

Elemis Pro Collagen Cleansing Balm - Have 2 more in stash. This is a nice product. I may even see how good value it is when I have finished them all and repurchase.

Laura Geller Balance N Brighten. This morning nothing appeared on my kabuki brush when I ran it over the product. QVC have confirmed that my replacement has been despatched. Yay.

Of course I didn't take offence - you'd have to try a lot harder than that! :rotfl:

1 IN today - Boots cucumber facial scrub. Away for a work thing and realised I was out of travel sized face wash, this was within my points balance (so free!) and small enough to travel back with me.

Just use them up! In my case they were pretty disappointing:rotfl: certainly not worth the £18 a bottle people pay!

Val, now you've hit pan, please may I ask a question?
Laura says it's a terracotta pan but whenever I've finished one I've always thought it looks like metal!
What's your opinion please?

Evening all! Two UU to report, Ted Baker Hand cream and Bath and Bodyworks cherry blossom body lotion. Loved the cherry blossom, sad its ran out, will be asking someone to get me more when my stash goes back down a bit I think.

Think I'll save the hand cream tube just incase I go near a C&E store, 18 hand creams in my stash really isn't enough:eek:

I too love the B&BW Cherry Blossom range. I also like the TBS one.

Hi Clutterfree, I've dug my pot out of the bin to have a look. It does look terracotta. Funnily, I haven't noticed before.
