    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 :(

    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... :/

    Sorry to hear about this, I hope your FIL is out of hospital soon.

    Re the wildlife (this is to FizzWizz too), it happens, they are wild creatures and that's how they live, it's an unfortunate consequence of that, I have run over at least two rabbits/hares in my time and I still feel guilty even though there's nothing I could have done or you could have done xxx

    ENABLING POST!!!!

    Sunday's Elemis TSV is worth about £165.25, not sure what the price is going to be yet but I'm interested to find out and attempt to stop myself from ordering if the price is very good! :o

    So sorry to hear this, hope your FIL is better quickly. Hugs x

    Fizzy how did you get so many GWP? i've been online and they say 2 or 4 with purchases, i am buying EL double wear for my wedding so the expense is a must but if i can get some GWPs out of it aswell it'll hold off any extra costs for a while x

    BB turned up yesterday so 5 ins

    cucumber wipes
    colour club in gold
    lord and berry eyeliner
    laura mercer body souffle
    how 'bout them apples cheek and lip tint

    I didn't need any of that^^ but it was the best of a bad bunch of boxes and i didn't pay for it.

    other than some on offer bath stuff for kids at xmas i've not bought anything so feeling quite pleased, next month so i don't get lost with what i've mentioned i'll save up all my outs and do them at the end of the month in one go.

    Got £8.50 in my stash jar now :)
  • Yep it's definitely my stupid sensitive face. Rashes up just using the face mitt at the mo. It's gone down already tho so def a better option than a facial scrub right now

    tiffanyjayne, it was an in store promotion at John Lewis, I looked online and it's not available there. If you have a store nearby it could be worth your while to nip along, sharpish ;) It was free with 2 purchases, one of which had to be skincare or foundation. HTH :)

    Oh my god. Obviously couldn't resist peeking at their website. It's even on 4 easy pay.

    I must resist, I must resist **gets bank card out**

    I have been reminding myself that the flash balm is the only item I really want as I have or have had pretty much all the others, so it's not worth buying it now.

    Trawling through and making a PP list to keep my mind off it :rotfl:

    UU no 9/ and it's off my PP list :A. The ted baker body scrub! WNBA don't particularly like the scent, it wasn't particularly scrubby and it seems to leave a coating on the skin.

    I'm on my phone so can't really check back properly, but ((hugs)) to all having bad times

    In other news I'm really impressed with the stunted hair growth from just one use of the Philips lumea

  • morning ladies,

    girlybags, sorry to hear about your Aunt, hoping your father-in -law gets better soon, sending you hugs, xo

    well ladies make some space on the naughty step please, I've gone comfort shopping and have the following ins:

    Philip Kingsley body building shampoo x2, this then qualified for a gwp of the 'happy hair kit' which consists of 12 mini sized shampoos & conditioners

    Superdrug B day cream - the B range is currently on offer at half price. I already have one of these which I just recently started to use and I'm absolutely loving the results I'm getting

    Superdrug B serum

    Superdrug B eye cream

    these 3 superdrug purchases also led to a gwp of: sample sizes of eye shimmer,lipstick, day cream, serum, micellar water

    all this and I'm currently eyeing up the elemis TSV - help!!!!!!!

    happy pampering, xo
