Book a cabin at Centre Parcs on a Friday. Sell it at the back of the bike sheds at 2AM. £140 a tube. I'm telling yea.

Shove 'em up your arse, what else? Grin

Loving the comments so far.

Unfortunately UK haemorrhoid cream isn't any good for the black circles/eye bags problem. They used to see the good stuff but now it's US only because some of the ingredients can't be sold over the counter here.

Try putting a couple of teaspoons in the freezer and using the backs of them to gently press/massage your eyelids and under eyes in the morning. The cold helps reduce any inflammation and it's free.

Sob story time.

DD (age 2) got hold of a VERY important letter last night which was on my laptop awaiting action. She toddled over to her dad and handed it to him. I said, very clearly "for goodness sake don't let her rip it!". With this, he decided to try pulling it out of her hands. She pulled back, and the bloody thing ripped in half (because fuck you, Squiff).

Suffice to say I saw red and went ape at him, then had to pick up our poor DD for a cuddle and reassurance because she was shocked at my outburst.

So, if you could spare 5 of those tubes, I will have good cause to use them next time my DP is a pain in the arse probably tonight when he gets home from work.

I tried Anusol under my eyes.

For all the good it did I may as well have shoved it up my arse.

I guess you could put them in a food bank collection (we used to collect soap and loo roll so I can’t think why not).

just keep one for own use (you don’t want to be short of that stuff)

Squid, you are welcome to my 5 surplus-to-requirements pile cream.

Squiff! Sorry - autocorrect doing it’s (wrong) thing there!

@HalfShrunkMoreToGo thank you for this information - will save me buying 6 more tubes of useless pile cream!

Oh no @Nailest !!
I have to check the ingredients in mine then!

I do wonder what the chemist assistant was thinking when you bought 6 tubes.

Would it work as lube? For various activities...

I was far too cowardly to go into an actual shop - ordered online! Your username is very appropriate for this thread!

Post them to random people.

I could give them as birthday presents. I’d be so popular :)

I know (now) it’s the wrong stuff for my dark circles but it’s quite moisturising what with the coco butter and lanolin etc, and I’m not going out today so I have some on under my eyes. I look like a scary version of Adam Ant.
