I agree re toiletries. I do have a stash to use up, but mainly because I buy when on offer (body shop sometimes have great offers) and from wilkos/home bargains/B&M. Never buy from supermarkets as part of the regular shop.

Is it my imagination or have these offers dried up lately? DH is a fan of their men's range and we don't seem to have had their emails for ages.


Envy you your walk by the sea alec. It's been a lovely day here too but no time t fit in a seaside walk.:(

Ive had loads of body shop offers lately, I have a couple of codes that might be of use if you want to use them.

The ones on the site are the same ones I got emailed, but I also got emailed a black friday offer, it may still be in use, I couldnt see an end date on it, if you spent £50 they gave you £25 off and free delivery, the code for that one was TREAT.

Trouble is those cheaper shops are great ie "quality save" on price but not choice, they may stock your chosen brand of hair dye but you won`t get your shade, more often than not, so you end up in the supermarket anyway.

TBH, if you shop around you can generally find that they have as good a range as any s/m, and the saving is well worth any inconvenience of not having the full range. Anyway, its good to swap shades every now & then

I always buy my toiletries, shampoos, DHs soap etc from HB or B&M, only my No.7 from Boots and always when on 3for2.

One of the good things about living in a small market town, with better shopping facilities a round trip of 50+ miles away, is that I am not often tempted to buy from shops on a whim, the downside is that we only have a fairly small SM, small B**ts and no B&M, S*perdrug, HB or the like for the good prices:(

I have a girl's lunch tomorrow with my knitting group, I need to have a trying on session later. I have lost quite a bit of weight recently whilst not been very well, the bonus is that the very few slightly tight things will fit better, but the majority might be too big:(, bit of a pain as I was a healthy weight previously and I do have a lot of lovely clothes. Not getting rid of anything yet though, as hopefully things will settle down. Horrid multiple cold sore not healed yet, so it is a nightmare cleansing my face etc and it looks :eek:

Hello all - I'm loving December! I've made my own advent calendar and put trial sizes of beauty products etc in the pockets (I have lots...) - its spurring me on to use them up

I have a posh work do last week, had my outfit planned out, leg wax booked ;-) - then work have asked me to go to an even posher do on Thursday. I'm not complaining as it should be fun, but I've had to reschedule my waxing appt and am now stuck as to whether to wear the same dress twice in a week (with many of the same people) or find something else to wear. I'm off to root through my wardrobe...

Hello lovely ladies

Upstairs carpets Down today, wardrobes being delivered tomorrow. Almost there.

I'm going to celebrate by having a mega clothes sort out and then treat myself to some fab new gear. I intend to go out for full on glamour this winter.:rotfl:
