and a massive :T:j:T to salesaddict – I’m so impressed and inspired by you reading back over the posts I missed![/QUOTE]


Hello Fixx,

I have got to ask you, why?:(:o
I am feeling really bad about myself at the moment.
Do I need to read back over my posts?

Oh goodness!!!! My mum uses No7 mascara, foundation and lipstick and has asked me to get her some if they have any £5 vouchers coming up (which they do)!!! Trouble is, I will be avoiding Boots like the plague and don't intend to get (or spend) any vouchers! What to do?

Apply lenten chocolate resolve, go in, do it, and don't get anything for yourself. Be strong Tara, feel your power!

I'm finding it helpful to buy for others and not myself! I got the body shop glitch for my mum (and hemp cream for my dad!) and last night I took advantage of the Elizabeth Arden glitch for various gifts throughout the year. I don't feel like I'm missing out as I'm still getting the buzz of buying stuff, but it's not wasteful, which most of my toiletry shopping was before I had my LBM
I've been offering my purchasing skills to my friends too. I have a bit of a reputation amongst them for getting a good deal! :rotfl:

Have only used up a toothpaste and hopefully my cleanser will be gone in a couple of days so not doing too well.

Off topic, can I have a moan.

I planned to surprise my hubby for birthday/wedding anniversary present by booking us a holiday down in Cornwall but now he wants to sell our caravan and I want to try and get away with not listing it on the internet so as not to spoil the surprise and not have to tell him why we can't sell it yet. Have managed to come up with an [STRIKE]excuse[/STRIKE] reason for not having done it yet every night this week and now I'm running out of ideas. Why does he have to spoil my one good idea?

Its silly to try an sell a caravan in this weather...I've always read you should sell convertable cars in the week when hot weather starts..my guess is caravans are the same, you get more money....can you try telling him that?

When are the No7 vouchers?

Because you have purchased almost nothing compared with before.

I don't think he really cares what time of year we sell it. He wants it gone so we can finish buying out our business partner as they're starting to have to dos with one another (ok maybe the to dos are more to my husband starting them). Doesn't help my predicament though
