To call my Sister a thieving cow

My sister who is 65 and should know better is staying for a couple of days, and came this morning tonight she asked if she could have a shower before BGT, well of course there was no problem, my shower is her shower, I got out fresh towels showed her how the new shower works and gave her a choice of Radox shower creams we have about 4 fragrances and left her to it.

Went to to the bathroom door to tell her BGT was about to start, heard her tuneless singing and the unmissable smell of my FENJAL body mousse, well I didn't say she couldn't use it but it was in the bathroom cabinet not on the side of the bath so she would have had to open the cabinet to find it, sitting here faintly fuming not said anything to her, DH didn't help by saying 'oh you smell nice'

I only use it for special occasions myself and it looks like she has used half the bloody can.

Not happy at all

YABU. I would understand your frustration if she had slathered her arse in creme de la mer, but not for a four quid shower gel.

IT’S £5.40 Sparkling

And it sounds like it’s a douche.

Popc0rn · 28/05/2018 21:43

That stuff costs £5.40 a bottle?!?!

My fav shower gel is usually 2- 3 quid a bottle, but I never buy it unless it's on offer for a quid. She probably didn't realise that a) it's so expensive, and b) you'd be so precious about shower gel Hmm

🤦‍♀️

Emma198 · 28/05/2018 21:44

I wish I had your life if this is the sort of stuff you worry about!

Sparklingbrook · 28/05/2018 21:45

It's £4.60 on Amazon.

SmileEachDay · 28/05/2018 21:45

😂😂😂

ThePinkOcelot · 28/05/2018 21:45

You are joking?! Right?!

GalwayWayfarer · 28/05/2018 21:48

Doesn't fenjal cost about a fiver?! For god's sake get over it! And stop saving it for special occasions yourself, life is for living - five pound body mousses and all!

lololove · 28/05/2018 21:49

Never heard of it before - but either way... it's a fiver (or under!)

StopPOP · 28/05/2018 21:49

Fuck that, I'd tell her sling her hook and direct her to the nearest Travelodge. Foraging fucking Fenjal? Shock Wink

Eveforever · 28/05/2018 21:51

What I can't stand is people rummaging through my things. Pet hate.

Lucked · 28/05/2018 21:51

Do you think this is one of those sneaky advertising campaigns because we are all going to want to try this now! 😂

Sebbies · 28/05/2018 21:52

Does the OP have shares in fenjal? I’d never heard of it before, but now I want some Grin

Sebbies · 28/05/2018 21:53

Cross post Lucked I’m a slow typist Grin

EmmaSwann · 28/05/2018 21:53

This thread is cracking me up! 😂😂

But to be fair - to a lot of us a fiver isn't much, but it might be to the OP.

IHopeYouStepOnALegoPiece · 28/05/2018 21:54

Radox shower gel is about a pound cheaper then FENJAL...I don’t get the big deal tbh even if it was more expensive...she’s your sister...it’s shower gel

spontaneousgiventime · 28/05/2018 21:54

When I have guests, what's in the house is theirs to use. If I wanted to keep something just for me, I would put it in my bedroom. YABVVVU.

Thieving cow, what a thing to call your own sister.

sparklingbrook shouldn't your posts be marked #ad

Something stinks here OP and it isn't your sister.

keyboardkate · 28/05/2018 21:54

Lock up your kitchen cupboards, and put a hefty bullbar on the fridge. Quick.

shakingmyhead1 · 28/05/2018 21:55

And it sounds like it’s a douche
that was my first thought, sounds like a feminine hygiene type wash for ya foof

SexyManatee · 28/05/2018 21:56

Is Fenjal supposed to be posh then?

Sparklingbrook · 28/05/2018 21:56

Dappled probably. Grin

I am so excited for tomorrow when the shops open though and I will be straight in the shower as soon as I get home!

SmileEachDay · 28/05/2018 21:56

Fanjel? Grin

lololove · 28/05/2018 21:57

Does it smell better than that Badedas? I bought some of that last time it was mentioned here, really didn't think that much too it personally but to listen to some it was the best ever.
