    I just have to post this, I'm in complete shock!

    My friend Tori announced about three weeks ago that she was about 8-10 weeks pregnant.....then.......she goes for the scan and finds out she's actually THIRTY-ONE weeks pregnant.....then....this morning comes the announcement that she gave birth LAST NIGHT!!!

    Eight weeks early so the baby is staying in Neonatal for a few weeks but they're both doing well, I just cannot get over the shock!!! I am so used to friends posting about being sick of being pregnant as they're a week overdue and all the planning, these two haven't even had time to buy a pram let alone sort out the nursery!

    It must be so much for them as it's their first, but they're obviously so happy, bless them :D:D:D

    Oh and those who don't want to buy shower gel, stay off the l'occitane sale xx

    Wow! Oh my goodness how did they not realise she was THAT pregnant. That's crazy isn't it.
    I remember a girl at school (we were 17 so not too bad) gave birth in the loo..(not at school thank goodness) she didn't know she was pregnant at all and just thought she was having bad stomach cramps. She was still having periods although apparently not sting ones but teenage girls often fluctuate don't they. Shes a lovely mum :)
    Don't turn a slip up into a give up:D

    sting ones?

    I'm not sure, she might have irregular periods or none at all, plus she's a couple of stone overweight so if the baby had pushed up under the ribs it may not have been noticeable, she certainly looked no different hence why she thought she was only eight weeks gone :eek:

    i have an IN, a free this works body scrub from Red mag.

    my divorce has been finalised and my reaction was to just go out and buy stuff, kinda glad i ended up in a magazine aisle rather than selfridges or waterstones!

    Evening, hope you are all well.

    I have been back through some old posts and found this one from me at the beginning of March

    I have had a look at what I have got and I have got to stop buying. To sumarise I have:
    51 bubble bars (and this does not include the cut up ones in the bathroom) now 35
    41 bath ballistics now 6
    7 kg soap (Lush) now just above 2 kg
    6 bar of other handmade soap have more 17 full size (taking the GA below into account and a few sample sizes)
    7.25 litres of lush shower gel I have 2.800 litres now
    1.2 litres bodyshop shower gel have less that this about 0.6ltr but do have whipped soaps that I did not have before but some things on list already existed I just did not know I had them apart from a few elemis and Yves rocher (400ml)
    2 other shower gels these have gone
    56 other lush products (massage bar, hair, body products) this is down to about 22 (not including perfumes)
    170 items plus beauty box items (some bought because I liked them) some full size but mostly sample size
    I have 2 beauty boxes still to be unpacked
    3 body butters have added to this but not by as much as I think about 5 full sized items and more from beauty boxes
    And a box under the bed that has a hair products, shampoos, conditioners. I have not bough any hair care products apart from shampoo and conditioner and again I owned far more then than I realised.
    10 bottles of perfume again this has been added to but a couple will go out as Christmas presents

    I have not listed any products in the bathroom
    I actually feel better now, I have less containers now and have moved things as things have been used up.

    I really don't think you know what you have got till you list everything.
    My sink and bath look very clean thanks to head and shoulders (spluttering) and more products are spluttering. My desk as work has been anti bacterialed by hand sanitizer. I currently smell like an apple and my hair is like silk by mixing tigi and tresemme together (tresemme did not do alot and tigi seemed to leave a film on my hair) the only thing is that one is 750ml and the other is 900ml this could take a while to use up.

    The not so good
    INS
    5 items and no I really did not need them, they do smell nice.

    UU's
    Lush Brightside bubble bar WBA

    Lush Imogen rose perfume sample WNBA repurposed in water/ air thing, I don't like it.

    Posh brats patchouli and rose sugar scrub wnba smelt very much like roses and I don't like the smell of roses. Not as scrubby as others but had a lovely creamy texture.

    Biotherm blue therapy serum sachet WNBA how can you tell if you like a product from 1/2 applications.

    GA
    2 soaps siren and urban jungle (full sized)

    I am going to lush this weekend I have not splurged for over 9 months there and I am looking forwards to the Christmas items. I will not buy any shower gels. There will be a few bubble bars and several bath bombs there might be one small piece of soap (depending on if I like it).

    recently joined John Lewis beauty club(from their website if I remember) and had an email before my holiday with coupons for samples

    Any idea where that might lurk on their website? Been searching all over and can't find any mention of it :*(

    I think I need to join in the ban on toiletry purchases this month - there is absolutely nothing I need this month. I also need to work a bit harder to use things, as I've slipped back into the old habit of only using shower gel, deodourant and a spritz of perfume, which is doing nothing to run my stash down!

    UU

    TBS satsuma body spray - WNBA love satsuma in the shower get & butter but found the spray synthetic.

    Amie morning clear purifying skin wash - WNBA was given this to trial and really disliked it. Felt like it left a greasy layer on my skin. DD used it up.

    Lush fairy bubble wand - WNBA I liked the scent but found stirring it round the bath and the where to store it when it was wet a hassle so will stick to other items in future.
    No more buying toiletries
