    Few UU:

    Tesco raspberry ripple kids bubble bath - think this used to be my brothers, it's been hanging round in the bathroom for years anyway so chucked the remainder in my bath the other night. WNBA wasn't anything special. Not even sure if it's still available it's that old.

    Bomb cosmetics raspberry ripple bath bomb - WBA smelt really nice.

    Lush sex bomb bath ballistic - WMBA wasn't my favourite, smelt gorgeous but didn't smell so nice once in the water, maybe it was the hard water here I don't know?

    Tesco fruity strawberry shower gel mini - another off of the pp list, yay. WNBA nothing that special but there is another stashed away.

    The s&g righteous butter mini is on it's last dregs too, should be UU tonight. Got loads more stashed.

    Almosthere - I know what you mean, when you see the things on the site you have to have them, sometimes I have ordered them then have to rack my brains to remember what is going to be delivered. Best advice is to stay off the websites and delete the emails without reading - if you can.

    VALM - I google nail colours the trouble is I want them then :rotfl:.

    Deleted_User - hope your skin carries on getting better.

    Skin around my nails have become very dry over the last couple of months and despite the amount of cream I'm putting, it is only a bit better. Puts me off painting my nails :(

    No UUs to report just yet but I hope to have some by the weekend!

    I have 2 new INs though
    Baylis & Harding Jojoba, Silk and Almond hand wash 500ml
    Baylis and Harding Black Pepper and Ginseng Hand Wash 500ml

    In my defense I didn't buy them - they were a gift from a supplier so I still count this as me sticking to not buying anything new :)

    Also have just been browsing the Clinique website, let's call it window shopping :).

    Has anyone else noticed that they sell their moisture surge in the jar (50ml) for £34 and they sell it in the squeezy tube (15ml) for £5. Are they really charging us an extra £17.34 for a jar??

    Hi Asajj,

    I had something similar a few months ago - my cuticles actually shriveled up and dissapeared the skin was so dry - I took to using both my burts bees lipbalm around the nail bed and also pure shea butter (which I bought on amazon quite cheaply) as many times a day as I could. Things eventually returned to normal. I hope you get it in hand soon, not being able to paint your nails is such a punishment (to me at least)!

    First UU up of the month

    I've just coloured my hair, and had the dye in from a stock-up last year (still have more in).

    Taking my 2 youngest GDs away this weekend (1.5 and rising 3.5), and it always amuses me when people assume I'm Mum. Not sure that would have happened as much with the amount of grey/white that was showing, so decided I'd best cover it up ;)

    I love moisture surge so that is well worth knowing - thanks. It seems a bit odd though to be such a difference.
