    UU- one of tesco's own brand hand wash, it was 22p for big bottle and is creamy white with no over chemical smell. Does the job upstairs ... I have 3 more in stash.

    UU sanctuary body scrub - original one in tube, nice enough but more of a shower gel with a bit of scub than a body scrub really. I like a grainy one. This one comes in gift sets. WMBA

    UU- Nivea in shower moisturiser with honey. I have to plain ones in stash already. WMBA. I like the original scent better. Wouldn't rely on it solely for moisturiser it's better than nothing on rush days

    Lol lush I believe still have retro on line where you can get discontinued products every now and again.

    But it's freshly made, right? lol.

    Another UU : Burts Bees Hand Salve. I spread this liberally all over MrM's feet and my hands last night. Warned him against going into the kitchen or across the hallway as feared his feet would not touch the laminate covering at all! Awful greasy stuff that did nothing for my cuticles at all. With the exception of Burts Bees Lip Shimmers I have hated every other product of theirs that I have tried. Must remember not to get caught up in any hype about them again. Will be opening a bottle of OPI Avoplex oil next and no doubt my cuticles will love me again.

    Repainted my nails at the weekend. On my toes am wearing Nails Inc Motcomb Street and on my fingers Leighton Denny Supermodel. I see that these are free with Harpers Bazaar at the moment.
    Back for the No Buying Toiletries challenge. I pledge to only buy when I run out of a product that is not already in my stash no matter what wonderful emails land in in my Inbox or threads I read on MSE re: glitches!

    Morning.

    I have a uu

    Alpha H Absolute Eye Complex - 7.5ml, this is a gel and as far as I could see it did nothing. I haven't been impressed with anything from this brand so far and am over them.

    Ladies, I've been very naughty and forgot to declare a massive 20 INs which I ordered last month and collected at the weekend :eek:

    INs:

    113 - 122. Cussons Bump Relax & Unwind Bath Soak 50ml x 10
    123 - 132. Cussons Bably Sleep Tight Baby Bath 50ml x 10

    I've adjusted my May numbers.

    I'm not counting the hand gels.

    Some of these will be GA to friends when I next see them, however some I will use as gym shower gels as running very low. The bargainous 50p per set led me astray!

    Hope you're all well, will catch up later on hopefully.

    1 UU and 1 IN this weekend.

    UU – Lush Sandy Santa Body Butter – WNBA I'm not sure how I feel about Lush. So many of there products are so messy to use (but then maybe that's because I keep them stashed away for months)
    IN – Plum and Peppermint foot cream – got to get those tootsies ready for summer!
    No more goo hoarding!

    2018 UU: 9 IN: 1 TA: 0 Total: 58/67
    2017 UU: 50 IN: 16 TA: 2 Total: 42/78 2016 UU: 53 IN: 17 TA: 0 Total: 36/72
    2015 UU: 74 IN: 43 TA: 3 Total: 32/64
    2014 UU: 114 IN: 67 TA: 7 Total: 38/92
  • Good morning all


    Sadly no UUs to declare from the weekend, the splutterers just keep on spluttering!!


    I have, however, decided that I do not like the Vie Seventh Heaven Cleansing balm as a facial cleanser, the smell is off-putting and it is far too greasy for my liking, I've decided I prefer a cream cleanser. But all is not lost, I got it for a bargain price and will still use the muslins with my other cleansers and the balm itself is excellent for shaving my legs! A little goes a long way and it left my legs lovely and smooth and moisturised!


    Have a great day ladies

    just been to buy Dh some hay fever tablets as we went to a flower festival yesterday and he had a flare up after not needing anything for a long time.....er so long that the expiry date on the tablets he had was 2009!!I told the pharmacist and she said something about losing 5% of the effectiveness over 5 years and the one he took seemed to work, a bit like sell buy dates I guess on food.still enjoying being a blonde(tho don't know about them having more fun)but roots are looking a bit grey so not sure whether to go back to brown

    Caught up!

    Welcome city_girl and Lil Miss :hello:

    Fiasco your holiday sounds lovely, I visited Venice and LdJ on a school trip many years ago and have very fond memories of both places.

    This weekend has been non-stop, I arrived back from my work trip, tipped out the contents of my overnght bag and repacked for a weekend away - knackered now and so ready for the weekend to roll around again! To cap things off, I did a bit too much dancing at the weekend and have ligament damage in both feet - one is very sore indeed and not a pretty sight, very swollen and bruised! So I'm down in the dumps at the lack of future gym visits (and knock-on effect on my UUS :eek:) and super manic with work too :(

    kadison how did your date last night go??

    FizzWhizz hope your migraine has finally done one! and hope rosemary and Willowbee get their teeth sorted soon.

    VALM lovely to see you back!
