    Well I have had a bit of a sh*t day to say the least. My auntie passed away this morning, my FIL is in hospital and, to top it all off, I fished a drowned hedgehog out of my garden pond this afternoon :(

    :( of dear that sounds awful.

    Sundaysgirl, congratulations I hope you had a lovely day :T

    Despite all that I have had quite a few UU's this week and not bought anything but that could well change tomorrow if I find myself comfort shopping while my son is at Beavers church parade... :/

    Oh what a bad day --hugs--

    One UU here Timotei vivid Colour shampoo , looks like I'm on to my last bottle of shampoo so need to get scouring the £1 shops and restocking!:money:
    Debt free and busy treating myself:)

    No more toiletries/make up until I've used what I've got stashed since Jan 2011, graduated October 2012. Restocked Dec 13..damn those sales

    Couple of splutters - Time Belay cleanser, deodorant & shower gel. :p Should be finished in the next couple of days, finally I feel they've been in use for ages :)

    I used one up by using it to clean my hob. Took all the grease off :)

    :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    me being me I would probably give it to a charity shop. There's always folk out there who swear by that particular brand and buy it for 1.50 for charity.... but I like your alternative , dippy3103

    Finally a UU- sanctuary radiance Exfoliator - WNBA it's far too scratchy for face- it's really bad. Used it on my body instead.

    Hugs to everyone that needs them :))))

    Ah, girlybags, I'm so sorry about your Auntie's passing, and I hope your FIL is on the mend very soon. I also feel your pain re: the hoghedge, I was driving home from dropping my boys off with their dad a couple of weeks ago and I ran a duck over, it really upset me :( Sending you loves xx

    I have packed my wash bag for hols; it's rather large! Still my makeup to sort but I'm planning on packing light in that dept; just typing that has made me :rotfl: sooo not gonna happen!

    KT, if and when you get colour matched for ELDW, be sure to ask for a sample, the little bottle I was given initially lasted me more than a week so you can get a really good feel as to whether it suits you; wearing a full coverage base takes a bit of getting used to IMHO and with this foundation I find I need much less than I would with a high street one. I overdid it on Friday evening and DH said I looked like a painted porcelain doll :eek: probably preferable to him pointing out all my spots but still, not ideal!

    I straightened my hair today, and when I had it sectioned off I realised that the colour has almost completely washed out from the roots from my temples down. I haven't noticed before as my hair is too short to tie up now. Very bizarre as my top roots are fine and I know I applied the colour evenly as I checked when it was freshly dyed. Maybe the HE shampoo is to blame, or maybe the colour didn't stick so well there because I start applying from top down. It needs a top up anyway as my parting is heading towards 'badger' status, AGAIN.
