    My local Mr T had daffs in for £1 too. I love daffodils

    I'm not girly at all! Which you've probably guessed :rotfl:

    Glad you had a good day :)

    All these daffs that people are seeing, yet my town has none! Need to get myself to a supermarket pretty sharpish :D

    I wouldn't have guessed you weren't girly WB. You don't give that impression tbh, plus I'm sure you said you were straightening your hair once - that is the epitome of girly to me :rotfl: xx

    Another vote for nivea moisturiser. & their BB cream too.

    You heard it hear first ladies from our very own Beanie. :T It really is a nice moisturiser but I try not to shout about it too much in case Big Brother is listening in and they hike their prices up. :cool: xx

    I'm going to have to swim against the tide, I don't get on with Nivea at all - lanolin (or eucerit) brings me out in red bumps. I've gone through all sorts of creams over the years, some cheap and some eye-watering and have settled on one of the many Olay variants which I buy in bulk when I find the cheapest deal. My mum always used the pink Oil of Ulay when I was a little girl.

    JJ - I remember my Mum using the pink Ulay when I was little and it's one of those smells that would take me right back to being a little girl. I'm relieved it's Nivea that suits me.....and so is my purse :rotfl:

    K - I have really sensitive skin but only on my face. Weirdly I can use anything on my neck down. I'd definitely say give it a go but we're all different so no taking me to the small claims court if you come out all blotchy ;)


    Day 13/28, 11 NSD's, Prolific £18.57 cleared, £2.10 pending, Cash £13.75 for 8th-15th Feb

    I've just done a PA survey for £1.50 which has taken me over my £20 cash out target. :T Just need the £2.10 to clear.

    Had a lovely afternoon out. Church put on an event so I took Mum. Afterwards there was afternoon tea provided. They'd set the tables up with proper china cups and saucers and cake stands, it looked lovely. Definitely as good as what you get in a 'proper' tea shop. :) There was no charge or donation requested, it was all part of the afternoon. There must have been about 60 people there and I was the youngest :rotfl: I have stiff competition on Sunday mornings though as quite a few young families go.

    So even though I've been out, drunk tea and eaten cake my spends are still intact and I can claim another NSD.

    Hope you've all had a good day. xx

    Your afternoon tea sounds delightful and all the better for being free!

    Glad you've finally cashed out in pa. Think I might still be here in 2032 waiting to cash out...
