    I've been Money Tipped!
    I like lemon aid, from the realness of concealness, and found that the under eye concealer seemed not good in daylight but better than touche in the evenings.

    The lip plumper is horrid, I like high beam and.....I can't remember but there is a third thing in there isn't there?

    i always re-iron them and fold them beautifully so they look lovely when they come out of the packet for the buyer. ;)

    That's what I'll do too then... into the vacuum bag with them for now!! I am so impatient and can't wait to be rid of everything.

    Do you fold them with tissue paper and what do you post them in? Just an envelope? I'm thinking of tops, dresses etc.
    ohhhh i was soooo impressed!! got 4 packs of extra strength cold and flu tablets (in 2 shops so as not to be accused of overdosing) as DH told me I have given coild to him so thought I'd better stock up you know what men are like. 79p for 16 in Wilkinsons and 99p for 16 in Savers (bargainious they are paracetamol, phenelephrine (sp) AND caffine ones!!!!!!!!!!! and 97p for 12 plain decongestants (as i prefer decongestant and ibuprofen but after being stung over £4 for 16 neurofen cold and flui thought stuff that). plus they are 1 4 times a day so last a long time!! And and got DS some calprofen at a barganious £1.91 in Wilkinsons.

    Also got rid of pearl drops teeth whitening stuff - you paint it on and it's supposed to make your teeth look whiter. No idea why I bought this I know it was on offer when I did (most of my stuff is!) but I could just've gotten another toothpaste! Anyway, I wouldn't buy it again as it didn't work and started chipping off if you ate anything and looked ridiculous.

    I personally would be uber thrifty and phone them and tell them this and ask for a refund as its sounds likethe most ridiculous product ever!
    :beer: Well aint funny how its the little things in life that mean the most? Not where you live, the car you drive or the price tag on your clothes.
    Theres no dollar sign on piece of mind
    This Ive come to know...
    So if you agree have a drink with me, raise your glasses for a toast :beer:

    I STILL haven't managed to use anything up :mad: I was trying to be money saving and cut the top of an empty bottle of cleanser... now it's lasting me another week at least!!!!!

    Today I went into Boots for toothpaste and nicotene patches, I was dragged through the s&g display by my OH (on my orders) But I did manage to grab a quick spray of the perfume on the way past. I must of looked daft being escorted around by the OH with his arm firmly up my back pushing/pulling me along :o I managed to get to the till with the 2 things I needed.... then the lady gave me a £5 No7 voucher :D After a bit of giddyness I decided to use the voucher on another day ;) Check me for self control!!!!!
    Even if you stumble, you're still moving forward.

    *slinks into the thread*

    I have been trying to follow this, seeing as I have 2 body scrubs, 3 bottles of lotion, 2 body butters and endless perfumes and deoderants to use up - but I went mad last week - I went in Lush, and got Rock Star soap as I love the smell - persuaded myself to buy two and another one, and a massage bar and a bath thing "The Comforter". Now, how do I use the massage bar that I shouldn't have bought?

    Your stash doesn't seem to be too bad. I have multiples of multiples of body butters, shower gels, body lotions...the list is endless:eek::eek:. Not many deodorants though just Lush and Green People

    What massage bar have you got? Most of them you melt in your hands and use a body moisturiser or for massages.

    Elfen, I am keeping out of Lush. Too easy to like you to intend to buy one thing and end up with 10.:eek::eek:
    I went away and now I'm back.:j:j

    Erm, depends on what it is. I don't sell all that many clothes TBH, but, for example, I sold a gorgeous thin jumper a few weeks ago so I folded up all professionally (I've worked in a lot of shops - I'm good at that! ;)), then wrapped it in a sheet of tissue paper (also swishly), then put it in a large padded envelope as it was only quite small. Buyer feedback indicated that they were most impressed. :)
