    Maddiemay & Willowbee, it doesn't sting at all and is the only thing that helped my eyelids. When I first started getting eczema I tried all different thick creams and E45 and this is the only thing that worked. I buy this one off Amazon. I do really recommend it and have got my mum using it too, just as a face cream!

    Pirateyqueen, my Calendula cream arrived this morning, it is lovely to use, rich, but not greasy and seems very soothing, I have used it twice so far today. Thank you very much for the recommendation:A

    I've been doing some swaps on the facebook group. And then I accidentally went shopping.

    I'm ashamed :P

    I'll update tomorrow.. maybe.

    No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries 2018 - Not going well!!
  • Feeling quite proud of myself this morning. All week I had planned to go the the B00ts 70% off sale, despite having more toiletries than you can shake a stick at. Well after having a think whilst laying in bed, I really couldn't justify potentially being in a situation where people are going to push, shove and be selfish all because there are some reduced smellies. So I decided not to go and although I hate missing a bargain, I don't NEED anymore toiletries! So that money will now go on paying our holiday off :)

    I hope you are all well, and if anyone did take a trip to the sale, I hope you stayed safe and got everything you wanted!

    I was in a store yesterday (optician appointment which resulted in a new presciption after just 7 months - and I'd thought 12-15 months was a poor show!!), and wandered around the sale section as I had time to kill before my appt.

    Only one thing caught my eye, but I didn't need it/wasn't prepared to pay even what they were asking in the sale - and this morning I can't remember what it was, so it was clearly best left on the shelf :D

    They have a couple of gift sets for my favourite (expensive) perfume in the sale, but only at a third off so I'm still struggling to justify the cost (even though I could completely pay with points). Does anyone know what the chances are of them reducing the price again if they're still not selling?
