    shandyclover - hope your daughters are recovering well. Flip flops are ALWAYS dangerous... My little sister went to pick blackberries down my aunts field in some, the middle part pulled through and some how cut into her foot bad enough for a trip to A&E! The unfortunate part was she had to hop/climb back up the field of cows and sheep to get to the house, she made it though, but she is banned from wearing flipflops! lol.

    Ouch for tooth and trotter trauma! I hope that's the end of the dramas for a good long while, shandyclover.

    IN #73: No7 Hot Cloth Cleanser 200ml; I had doubts about the cleansing oil as soon as I brought it home :( mainly because my skin has been so much better on my nighttime routine, I feel like I shouldn't fix what ain't broken. I will use the oil and I may well love it but at least I have another HCC stashed just in case. Used the £5 off voucher too so fairly :money:, if not strictly necessary.

    I have a spot coming on my chin, it's a bit sore but doesn't feel huge and it's the first one I have had all month :T The Elemis Trienzyme wash is good, but clearly my hormones are too strong a force!

    Nothing special really! To be honest, I prefer a spray for a heat protectant because I can spray it all over and I don't feel it will make my roots greasy, but as this was more like a white serum I didn't want to apply too much. I wouldn't recommend it, but maybe I'm just a misery guts, there don't tend to be many products I really like!

    been missing for a few days, RL is getting in the way. Hasn't this weather been wonderful :)
    I've had no OUTS but also had no INs either (maninly because I haven't been out since the weekend).
    Still looking for a job, had a telephone interview today, it was rubbish :o full of competency questions that I have no idea how to answer. Getting fed up applying and getting no response back from companies either :(
    Anyway being positive my garden is looking good because of my free time
    Life is a coin, you can spend it anyway you wish, but you can only spend it once.
    Go as far as you can see, and when you get there you'll see further.
    Take time but don't waste time

    What happened to good old fashioned interviews where people used their people skills to find the right candidate??

    I have a uu

    Dr Nick Lowe Anti Sebum Cleanser 50ml - WMBA, I used this as a morning cleanse, it is a liquid you use on a cotton pad and I doubt it is meant to remove make up.

    Shandyclover - hope the girls are on the mend.

    Your poor girls shandyclover, hope they're ok.

    Glad things still going well with your man kadison and hope your job interview went well. How are the bites doing? Whenever I get bitten it always swells up massively and takes ages to go.

    That telephone interview sounds ridiculous assett, really hope you find a job that you love soon. I bet your garden is looking lovely though and you can enjoy the gorgeous weather.

    Few UU and INS here to replace the UU. I was so pleased with myself as I resisted temptation when shopping yesterday. Went into the body shop to try the BB cream and the honey bronzer. The MUA applied them on me and it looked dreadful!! She was really lovely and offered to fix it but I didn't realise quite how bad it was until I got out of the shop! I just looked so orange! I'm not sure if it was the bb cream or the bronzer as she used the lightest shade they stock in both! Needless to say I won't be purchasing.

    OUTS -
    132 - La Roche Posay Effaclar Duo + 40ml
    133 - Origins super spot remover 10ml
    134 - Nivea cream deodrant - ended up throwing this away as it was dreadful! Went on fine and did the job but all day long I kept getting covered with little white bits from my arm pits :eek: looked like arm pit dandruff :rotfl:

    INS -
    127 - Origins super spot remover 10ml
    128 - La Roche Possay Effaclar H 40ml
    129 - Dove Aerosol deodorant
    130 - Dove Aerosol deodorant

    All to replace the above. Thought I would try the Effaclar H rather than the duo as thought it was cheaper. Turns out I was wrong and it is the same price :rotfl: hope I like it now!
  • 1 more UU today.

    Biore Perfect Face milk SPF 50 – WDBA – already have one more in the stash, but also have a bioderma sunscreen to try out as well.
    No more goo hoarding!
