    I'm having a dilemma - does a new toothbrush count? I don't know whether to add it to my tally or not?

    lol, i didnt think sanitary stuff counted either until i heard the amounts folks had:rotfl:. Ask yourself do you need it, do you already have a spare, are they gonna stop being produced in the next 6 months then go from there. Now if only i actually said this to myself whenever i go into boots/ debenhams etc etc:o.

    O/t
    Been listening to the news about those two boys who attacked the other two boys in Egglington(sp) Just so sickening and upsetting i have 3 kids under 7 and i worry so much about their safety, drugs, alcohol etc etc I can see myself walking them to Uni :eek: knowing me:o.

    You laugh because I'm different......I laugh cause I just farted!

    Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt. (A.C)

    Crime like that is very rare and agree it's very upsetting. Listening to the news the boys home life was horrific. Most of it down to their violent dad.

    I'm sure you children will be ok. Mum walking them to Uni:rotfl::rotfl:

    Ladies!!!!!!! Someone PLEASE stop me from going to Lush and buying stuff. I popped in today with a friend and the SA was over like a shot, telling us that they are doing the HSKT promotion (9 products for £12.50) AND the grab bags when you spend £10 AND 10% OFF!!! I had to wrestle myself out of the shop! So for £20.70 you get the £12.50 bag, another £10.50 worth of stuff (the 10% off makes it £20.70) and the £20 grab bag, and they are MASSIVE!

    Tara, Tara. Sit down, take a deep breath and ask yourself. Do I really need any of that stuff from Lush? :naughty::naughty::naughty:

    (I can see why you're temped but Tara be strong. Remember like Boots, Lush is a very dangerous place for us 'no buying toiletries' women/members/posters.:eek::eek:)

    I think we would do so much better if stopped saying what we didn't buy, as it's tempting. LOL
