    2 IN's for me Mitchum 24hour solid AP/Deo 2 for £4, currently have 1 in overnight bag and 1 in bathroom, so not a stockpile:D

    Try cutting cotton pads to fit nails, soak in Acetone remover, put pad on nail and wrap tightly in small piece of kitchen foil. Find comfortable chair, and if possible place feet on hot water bottle or pad and cover with blanket or thick towel and wait for about 20 minutes, if polish does not lift up easily re-wet if necessary and leave for another 10 minutes, repeating ........until done:):)

    If you cream your feet well first, you can kill two birds .......

    Thank you maddiemay and everyone else for their recommendations. It seems that acetone nail polish remover is the way to go. Will go and get some tomorrow lunch. I suppose I can get any cheap one as long as it's full of acetone.

    I did suggest to MrM that I get an appointment to go back to the salon and have them remove it and replace it with normal polish but he didn't see that as a favourable solution!! :rotfl:

    slightly off topic but may help some on here as lots of your sigs still look like swearfests.

    if you go inot user cp, click on edit sig. but do not alter anything then click save, after that your sig will reappear in its full former glory. ChrissyG pointed this out on another thread i use.

    need to buy some soap and or showergel but its not for me so wont count.

    My sig looks ok when i'm viewing when signed in but when I look at the site on a device which isn't signed in, I have exclamation marks!!!!

    Will try to fix.

    I am pleased with myself today. I hesitated outside the Body Shop attracted by the Sale signs. I didn't go in though. Resisted.

    I have used up the last of my face oils in rollerball bottles so I can start on solid oil in a little pot that I need to use. I've also finished my Balance Me moisturiser and started on my preferred Liz Earle.

    Not looking, not looking. Is it on feelunique.com though??

    Have another UU : 500ml bottle of Soap & Glory Sugar Crush shower gel. Probably won't buy again. I love the Sugar Crush body scrub for its zestiness but this shower gel version smelt synthetic and the fragrance did not linger on my skin like the scrub does. My prefereable zesty shower gel is L'occitane Verbena. Do have an Elemis Lime and Ginger on the go at the moment though so won't be looking to purchase any more shower gel anytime soon. Saying that I have four soaps/shower gels on the go! Have Snowflake soap by Lush (sweet fragrance), L'Occitane Amber & Santal (warm fragrance) and Philosophy Pumpkin Pie (also warm). All of them have loads of product in them so won't be declaring any more shower gel UUs for a while.
