Here is our itinerary: Southampton, Gibraltar, Provence (Toulon), Florence/Pisa(Livorno) Rome (Civitavecchia), Ajaccio, Corsica Cadiz, Lisbon, Portugal Vigo, Spain Southampton, England

Am really looking forward to this. Last time we also visited Gibralter, Lisbon and Vigo. Not so sure that we will get off in Vigo as there is nothing much there. Did you do any of the planned tours? We only did a couple last time. We visited Morocco from Cannes and went on the trip to the Caves of Drach in Majorca. Thoroughly enjoyed both days. The rest of the time we wandered about ourselves or took the local tour bus.

That sounds brilliant! Yes we did tours in Madeira, Lanzarote and Casablanca, I think we did one in Tenerife as well. We were booked on a quite expensive one in Portugal to see the kicking (Lipizana?) horses perform, but it was cancelled due to lack of interest

Due to the rough crossing from Southampton, we got to Vigo so late that we basically only had 4 hours there before we departed again, I knew there was bogger all to do near the harbour but I just wanted to touch land so I didn't really care! It was a local holiday too so everything was shut!

Your trip away sounds fantastic, glad you had such a good time in York

Firming creams, i need a good firmer for breasts and bums/thighs, i'm losing weight and it's showing on my skin so i need some help but don't know where to start, anyone tried S+Gs latest?

Personally I would recommend Bio-Oil, it has been a favourite of people who are losing weight for years, it is greasy though so I personally use it only on the bits I really need to (boobs and tum) and then put my pyjamas on, it can stain clothes apparently but I've never found that it does.

I think you utterly deserve it and if you look at the savings on full price you have saved more than you spent which makes it's very MSE & makes you a financial whizz.

Does that help at all? X

4 INS today, toothpaste samples from the dentist. I'll only get the splutteres of 3 Oral B professionals one day (unless beloved teen moves out before they are finished) but will keep the Sensodyne in my travel bag.

Some INs to report 2 x Timotei Vivid Colour Conditioner and 2 x shampoo. Not very exciting and I have to stock up when they have these in the £1 shop lately.

Yes and no in equal measure! I wondered when you'd find your way on here from the Grabbit post :rotfl: Or were you here before and I haven't remembered?

What did you buy for the original £30?

Vissionairre. I am never without & had birthday money left over. You?

I followed you to grabbit & then came back again. Never one to miss a bargain

I have a terrible feeling I'm going to have given in on the Lancome offer, not once but twice as I want the Neurocalm eye stuff too!

I have some other INs to declare, I had to go to boots as I'd completely run out of both sizes of the double-sided cosmetic pads I use. While there I noticed my HG wipes on a good offer, so stocked up as I am almost down to my last packet. These were 1/3 off last week so £2.32 but have £1.50 off now so £1.99 a pack.

Botanics Cleansing Wipes (25) x 5 - IN

Also....

Balance Me Moisture Rich Face Cream 20ml - UU - Used this on my feet
Toni & Guy Wave Memoriser 100ml - GA - Sent to test by Boots, didn't like it at all, really didn't suit my hair so I'm giving it to the refuge unless anyone on here wants to try it?

I like your style!

I haven't succumbed yet but I want the pink toner and the neurocalm eye, both are over £30 so if I get both I will buy them seperately and get two gift sets.

I have just started using my little Genefique bottles, I have to say I love this! I have some Visionnaire samples which she said to use at night, with the Genefique in the morning but I've got Dreamtone to use first. Can you tell I'm a Lancome fan?

Thanks guys, your all so helpful!

Hammyham it looks great and they have some great offers on but i need a more natural palette, it's wedding make up and i'm not sure my ivory dress will suit those shades

Clutterfree any of the natural ones, i know they do 2/3 palettes but none were available on the mua site when i ordered, i'll check superdrugs again shortly
