    . Did you hear that I fell of the stage in Newcastle and broke a woman's arm?

    Just had a little read back of my last post and I meant that HE fell of stage, not me! I wasn't on stage! Although I did fall over when I tried to climb over the seats into the row below us. Still hurts but I deserve that for being a numpty.

    Are the little bottles from L'Occitane a spray?

    They are dab ons. I like the smell of all of them and am wearing the Magnolia one today.

    Am going to go out in a mo to Boots. Have filled a virtual basket online with the items I need and it will take my total over 1650 points so will make sure I go and get my Benefit Lemon Aid at weekend so that the points don't get squandered on anything else. I have a very thin rim of product around the pan so it will be UUed soon.

    I really need to update my list however off the top of my head I know I've UUed a bar of Lush Dirty Soap (WBA) and a bottle of L'Occitane Cherry Blossom shower gel (WBA also) however I have replaced the latter with a small bottle of L'Occitane Cherry Blossom hand wash for the shower and replaced the former with my huge bottle of S&G Sugar Crush.

    See you all later. x
    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!

    Welcome littlehope and hermia!

    maddiemay wishing you a wonderful relaxing holiday

    rogueylawyer - pleased to haer your mum is on the mend, hope you're coping ok

    emsjune78 - so sorry to hear about your relationship wose - I hope that you resolve things and that everything works out for the best.

    kadison - the pain really isn't bad but if you're worried pop a painkiller an hour before. I'd vote for a Hollywood over a Brazilian though (if your salon does them) - I just find the "landing strip" really weird and kind of defeats the point?! But only my opinion :D Also, you'd be fine to gym afterwards, just probably best not to do straight away. I've gone swimming/gym/sunbathed less than 24 hours afterwards many times and never had a reaction.

  • Hi everyone,


    Hugs to those in need of them.


    I have a UU to declare, another of the Lush bath bombs, 3 left now!


    My Superdrug HCC is getting a bit spluttery so will cut that open tomorrow to see what's left inside.


    Had a NPI today, had an email to say Free Delivery on all orders of L'Occitane today only, nearly succumbed to more bars of soap but remembered my existing stash!!! Thank goodness for this forum, it has made me aware of just how much I already have!

    I am a big old failure.

    Just bought 9x body washes from Molton Brown and a free hand cream sample.

    In my DEFENCE, I will TRY to split these up as Christmas/birthday gifts - TRY!


    Bought is to buy. Brought is to bring.

    Good luck with the waxing kadison, hope it's pain free :D I've only been waxed once, on my legs, and I had SUCH a bad allergic reaction I woke up at 2am thinking my legs were on fire. I'm a bit of a sensitive soul though. DH has bought me an epilator for my birthday, as I said nothing says "I love you" like the pain of 40 pairs of tweezers working simultaneously :rotfl: I want it primarily for my legs as I shave them every. single. day and I'm sick of the permastubble, but I'm hoping I'll be brave enough to give it a go on my pits and bits too ;)

    FizzWhizz - I can't even stand my epilator on my legs, it is just too horrid.

    I have 3 ins

    Avon White Lilly Bubble Bath
    Avon Soft Pink Bubble Bath
    Avon Spring Garden Bubble Bath

    These were all tagged on to one of my customers orders to get an offer so only cost me £1.50 for all three. DD won a bottle of bubble bath in a tombola at the weekend too so we should have enough for a while.

    dolly, I remember the pain when I first started plucking my eyebrows, I found it excruciating to begin with but now I don't even feel it, same goes for my 'tasche :o so I'm hoping the theory will hold up for my legs too. There's a money back guarantee on the epilator I chose, so if all else fails I'll just ask for my £50 back :D
