    One last UU for the month, my last BOMB bath bomb. I actually emptied the bath rinsed it and ran it again this morning after putting this in. Very strong rose smell and hundreds of floating seeds-yuck

    Hello everyone, hope you're all well!

    Welcome 166million - of course you can join, we're a very friendly and chatty bunch :)

    Welcome back rosemary, hope you had a fabulous holiday.

    Has anyone heard from evilsquid? Been a while since she posted.

    I have my last few UUs from the weekend to report:

    69. John Frieda hair mask 25ml - WMBA for reasons already stated.

    70. Sanctuary Mande Lular Body Souffle 100ml - WDBA, HG but already bought *ahem* a few earlier this month so no need to replace until (much) later in the year at least...

    71. Champneys Distant Shores Body Butter 50ml - WBA, wasn't sure about the blancmange-y consistency at first but it absorbed well and I loved the scent. Made me feel very summery!

    72. Elemis Reviatlise Me Shower Gel 50ml - WNBA, it's fine but quite masculine and woudn't pay Elemis proces for shower gel as a cheapy tends to do exactly the same job just as well!

    73. L'Occitane Divine Eyes 1.5ml - WMBA

    Think that's likely to be it for March - see you all in April!

    Finishing the month with 30 UUs, 1 TA and 47 INs (spent £83.50), YTD 73 UUs, 1 TA, 86INs :o

    Big sigh of relief. Either you didn't mention you were going, or I missed it. Welcome back, Rosemary.
    Ma Griffe always reminds me of the Patricia Routledge character 'Kitty', she did a solo monologue spot on Victoria Wood's show in the 90s:-
    "I said 'What's that smell?' She said 'It's Ma Griffe.' I said 'Well, it wants washing.'...."

    Two more PP use ups: Avon Moroccan Oil Shampoo and matching conditioner.
    WIBA?: Definitely, luckily I'd bought another bottle of each before my Avon rep gave up a few months ago. These are really good products that seem to suit any hair type.

    Have a Schwarzkopf and Andrew Collinge conditioner to UU first though, so will use other shampoos, mostly the everlasting 400ml Pantene 2 in 1 Anti Dandruff shampoo I was given nearly a year ago.
    Erma Bombeck, American writer: "If I had my life to live over again... I would have burned the pink candle, sculptured like a rose, that melted in storage." Don't keep things 'for best' - that day never comes. Use them and enjoy them now.

    Some INs :o but first paid ones this year so that's ok and it's a Try Me Free Offer so even better :T
    I've a lovetoshop voucher that was expiring at the end of March so annoying as unable to transfer to another card, but had seen there was a Effaclar Duo on try me free thought this would be a good way to try and get some cash back ;) also bought some of the Natural Collection body lotion that's got 75% off and on 3 for 2 to get the extra ACM points. So although it's paid for INS it's not actual cash because it was earned through a cashback site. :rotfl:
    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

    One last in for march for me!

    TIGI heat protectant spray- my Toni and guy one has finished and the Asda one I have at the moment makes my hair heavy and sticky and I've been noticing smoke when I use my straighteners, so I bought this at the hairdressers. A necessary in I think you'll all agree:rotfl:

    My hairdresser now charges £38 so I've had to stop going to her. Even with the cost of the spray it was still £16 cheaper:eek:
    Toiletry spend £34.95 In: 10 out:13
