    Morning all.

    Have two uu today -

    Champneys oriental body scrub, this was a 50ml mini pot and lasted for one use. WNBA as am hoping to not buy any body scrubs when I have used all the ones I have. It was very scrubby and moisturising (the oily salt type).

    Garnier colour conditioner - the little bottle which comes with the nutrisse hair dye.

    Have an in from yesterday - a bottle of Barry M magnetic nail polish in violet. I love the effect of these and they last really well, I have 5 different ones now and think that is probably enough.

    Hope the sun is shining on you today. I am full of cold and have a day of dry stone walling in front of me which I could do without.

    Evening Ladies!!!

    I have not posted on here for what seems like ages - life just got in the way.

    Well, mum had her surgery for breast cancer almost four weeks ago now - she is doing amazing. I truly can't believe just how well she is. She was at the gym last week - only did 15 mins on the bike, but crickey!!! I'm thinking that's positive thinking!

    Also, she seems to have found a desire to show 'anyone' who asks her 'new boob'. Almost happend at the tills in Waitrose last week - it was one of her friends asking, not a total stranger. Before I knew it, those five little words were out 'do you want to see?' and she was ready to flash!!! It's just not the Waitrose way. TBH I'm sure she would of shown a total stranger, she's soooo proud.

    I will try to do better to keep up with the thread next month. I'm off on my jollies next week - Vegas Baby!! Getting so excited about it now that I know mum is OK.

    Just wanted to say thankyou to all you lovely people who sent me good wishes through a really tough time - you kept me going and I really can't thank you all enough :D

    That is all such brilliant news for you and your Mum Scrappie - so glad to hear she's doing so fantastically, I'm sure you've been an amazing support to her. Enjoy your well earned holiday, what great timing! x

    Glad to hear your mum is recovering well scrappie. :) I've heard a few people say they prefer their post-surgery reconstructed boob to their original one!

    That's great news about your mum Scrappie :j
    Just in from a busy day out in garden, going for a shower and to try and get all the soil out from my hands and under my nails. Hopefully I'll have the OS shower gel as an out as it's almost finished :)

    Go as far as you can see, and when you get there you'll see further.

    Hi Scrappie. Great news about your mum. Have a fab time in Vegas.

    I went into Boots today with the intention of just buying Cutex Nail Lacquer remover but as we wandered past the No7 counter I noticed they are selling the lip stain and gloss double ended wands again. Don't know their proper name but they sold these years ago and then stopped. In the meantime Avon had done a copy of them but then they stopped producing them as well. MrM needed some razor blades and this then qualified me for the voucher so I treated myself to the Chilli coloured one. Problem is that that purchase also qualified me for another voucher ......

    Have repainted my nails and am wearing OPI Unforgretably Blue.
    Back for the No Buying Toiletries challenge. I pledge to only buy when I run out of a product that is not already in my stash no matter what wonderful emails land in in my Inbox or threads I read on MSE re: glitches!

    I have 3 more UU

    Ren Photoactive Sun Veil SPF15 3ml WBA seems to work better than my No.7 factor 50 and sits better on the skin.
    Ren Hydra-Calm Cleansing Gel 25ml WBA scent isn't great but is lovely to use and my skin seems to love it.
    philosophy peppermint bark shampoo, shower gel & bubble bath 60ml WBA loved it smells like after eight mints, thank you to my sunshine swap buddy for sending me this.

    Scrappie. Great news about your mum. Hope you have a lovely time in Vegas.

    Scrappie - great news. My friend had a breast reconstruction but waited 3 years for hers (her choice). She had an uplift on the other side too and she is very happy. I think it is great that you can have this done on the NHS.

    What a bloomin day we've had, supposed to be going out this evening but we are all shattered and I just can't be bothered now.
