How is 5 bags of 28g a bargain at a pound when you can get 10 bags of 27g for £1 in ALDI, I know they are Kettle but really once you scoff them you just want another packet and at least with ALDI you have 5 more in cupboard saying "eat me, eat me".

You can't compare Aldi crisps to Kettle! (Although the Lidl handmade S&V come a close second, but they only come in the big bags). G&T and Kettle S&V = my favourite dinner

Cerenia, I hope you don't mind my interrupting, not high jacking, this thread, but 6 years ago after having to shed one and a half stones, I discovered a novel way of maintaining my weight loss. When I reached the consultants recommended weight, I went into a jewellers and bought a watch with a non-expanding metal strap. I then got the assistant to remove links until from the strap until it fitted perfectly. Now, if I put on about 7 pounds, the watch will not fasten and after being extra good before I go on holiday, the watch slips right down my wrist. However, after the holiday like now, my watch is a little too tight so it's back to the diet again.

Saw plenty of these in Poundworld Argyle Street, Glasgow earlier - Collection Cover & Go Foundation & Concealer Duo in 2 Light, 35ml.
Review: http://sabshernandez.blogspot.co.uk/2014/01/cover-and-go-with-collection-cosmetics.html (she's not reviewing that shade, though)

Also lots of NYC Liquid Eyeliner 5ml, Black, stocked up a while ago from there but can always do with more! (Comes with a brush, not a plastic nub which I hate so much on cheaper liquid eyeliners). Loose in the purple strip packs this time.

Also, another growth activator formula (not that impressed with the Nutra Nail one so far), Kiss X-treme Growth Activator 13ml. Seems it's a base coat or top coat - prefer the dry-in ones but we'll see! http://www.wholesaledavinci.com/images/P/N08KS-KTR16F.jpg

Funnily enough, after me mentioning it a few posts ago, they have lots of Sally Hansen Hard As Nails in the strip packs too, maybe I should just stick with old faithful!

One I used to buy years ago was Nailoid Nail Hardener (brush on/dry in), a pink clear liquid, though it used to make my nails sting a little and had a strong chemically smell - it really did work. Don't know if it's available any more.

As for diet tips - I've been doing this nearly 18 months now - alternate 500 calorie days. Make it a lifelong endeavour (I plan on cutting down the fast days once I'm at my goal) and it will work

Picked these up in Poundworld, Argyle Street earlier. Can see these on Polish and Czech websites. Chocolate Delicious Milk Chocolate Truffle Selection, 150g. https://nakup.itesco.cz/groceries/en-GB/products/2001019236976 (around £3)

Edit: Surprisingly for cheap chocolates, they're really nice

Thank you I use a fortnightly tape measure - just stops me from going scales obsessed (as several people have scoffed at me not having lost more weight!) - and see more results with a measure myself - but thats a fab idea!

From Argyle Street, Glasgow Poundworld yesterday:

Emergen-C Energy Release & Immunity Support 8 x 9.9g sachets - Juicy Strawberry, Zingy Lemon or Super Orange flavours.
Olay Skin Adapt Face Wash (Combination/Oily Skin) 150ml (seems to be a South African import).
Simply Home Yankee Candle Apple Spice Potpourri* 22g 2 for £1, the only fragrance this store has at the moment, not sure if there's more out there?

Also got 2 for £1 Fox's Candy Bear Snowy Seals and Shivering Sharks 250g "big bag" packs (jelly sweets - a few other varieties out there such as Perishing Penguins, and of course Fox's Glacier Mints/Fruits/Dark Liquorice & Aniseed are 2 for £1 as well).

And a 5 x pack of Kinder Country 23.5g bars http://ii.worldmarket.com/fcgi-bin/iipsrv.fcgi?FIF=/images/worldmarket/source/12362_XXX_v1.tif&wid=2000&cvt=jpeg

*Was in the store earlier - they also have Spiced Apple and Savour The Season Yankee Simply Home Tarts, similar colours so I didn't realise yesterday!

I'm not often in the vicinity of a Poundworld but today I was happy to get some of these, just my shade (when it's not greying ).



RRP £6.69...allegedly

I shall report back on findings. Nothing seems to be 100% successful on me but Olia has been the best so far. I only picked this one up because it was £1 and the colour was a good match, if it doesn't work I shall go back to buying Olia on offer and using 1/4 of a box at a time, which means a box lasts 4 months
