No buying unnecessary toiletries April 2014

Sundaysgirl, congratulations! hope your day was just perfect.

sjprmc01 (OMG so today started off with me trying to sort out our livingroom (toy) cupboard as OH was getting a new bike delivered (his prev bike was stolen out of our shed, a planned robbery.....they screwed the lock off the shed) so he won't keep the bike in the shed........)

My hubby owns quite a few mountain bikes, apparently they are worth more than the car! We cannot fit them all in the house so he detaches the wheels and keeps them in the utility room and the chassis of the bikes are all hidden in the garage so they can't be seen through the window. All this security from the man who has on occasion forgotten to lock the car!

Another trip into town and managed to walk past the bargains and sales all over. Yeay!

Evening ladies

Just popping in to wish Sundaysgirl a fabulous wedding and a long and happy marriage, xo

I have one of each (moisturiser, BB cream, lip balm, deo) in each of 2 bathrooms, in the car and my handbag - no wonder it takes so long to finish things but I really hate the idea of having to look for them

Clutterfree

Oo just found out I've won an organic cleanser worth £30 on Twitter! :j
My Merumaya balm is starting to splutter so I will try to hold on until this arrives rather than shopping my stash.

Also have a few other splutterers so hope to have some more UUs next week.

Still waiting for my You Beauty Discovery Box. :mad:

Sorry to interject with a note of severe :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

Just got back with my car, with the four new tyres, the front ones were damaged and needed replacing - fine - but the back, all of the tyres in fact, were apparently winter tyres that needed replacing at a further £66 a tyre so £132. They were replaced with all-season tyres, so I asked for the old winter tyres to be put in my boot.

Imagine my surprise to get back and see that the old tyres were all-season tyres all along so never needed replacing at all! Now the * frost symbol is in a different place and is more visible on the outer of the tyre than the 'all-seasons' logos, but did they really not notice?

I am :mad: at the idea of being conned but tbh, if they were going to con me, they must have realised I'd notice the old tyres were all-season when I get them out of the boot, somehow I do think it was an honest mistake but not really sure how this could happen, for nobody to notice?!

I have left a 'very much trying to keep my temper' answering phone message for them and will be over there asap tomorrow to sort this out. Either way I didn't need those new tyres so I will be getting the £132 back come hell or high water!!!!!!

Excuse the rant. SO F************************* (insert expletives!)

It looks as if it's been a sunny-ish day in 95% of the UK, I hope the sun shone on you, Sundaysgirl. CONGRATULATIONS!

Have any of you seen on YouTube the wonderful rendition of a version of Hallelujah by the priest officiating at a wedding in Ireland, Fr. Ray Kelly?

He was magic - this was just last Saturday and now ten million people have viewed it on YouTube.

I have a PP UU - my Avon Dazzling Xmas Glitz shower gel, just in time for Easter, lol.

WIBA? Hmm, lovely scent, loads of bubbles, but it's AVON and I need to avoid buying their stuff as it just builds in the stash!

Replacing it with one that DS gave me for Christmas, from my HG OS range, Shea Butter this one. I like this shower cream, looking forward to using it again.

I get Yours magazine, being of that age range, and a recent article mentioned how you shouldn't have ageing make up in your bag.

I only use lipstick , apparently this should be chucked out after 1- 2 years. Hmm. The only lipsticks I've had that ever needed chucking were literally about 15 years old.

My favourite has lasted years, I don't use them daily any more, but 2-3 times a week.
I can understand caution with eye products but not with some others. What's in lipstick that will go off in a year if it's stored carefully? Manufacturer hype....

They won't be pulling that carp on me! I am like a juggernaut when I get roused and have an 'I'm not moving until I get what I want' posture that seems to work wonders!

If they try that I'll say that it was their fault they were on there in the first place, so that's their problem!
