Thanks lin.c - if you needed it then that's cool. I find Max Factor mascara really good. Used to be able to use Rimmel but I think they must have changed the formulation as it seems to make my eyes sore. £15 is a bit of b*ggar as the mascara is about £9.99 mmm - how do I get up to the £15 with stuff I need? You see this is how they get you.[/QUOTE]

Good you can see that!!!!;)

Yes, I know Packaged all prettily and glowing and feeding on our one of most basic female desires....;)

And you're welcome for the info

Thanks lin.c! I do need some lipliner but something really neutral if you know what I mean. I have used their lipglosses inthe past but dont really need one of those. They do a bronzer for £5.99 and I need one for my desk drawer (to stop me looking quite so scary). Mmm, need to have a careful think! Look at me I'm getting myself in twists here just thinking about it. I do use their mascara so maybe 2 of those will be useful and will be loved and used. Phew!

The free listing days don't seem to come around very often really. I recently discovered that Ebay now take 10% of the final value which I think is really high. I'm sure it was a couple of percent when I first started. Paypal takes a chunk too, not sure how much.

If you're listing something starting at 99p or less it's free to list anyway.

Hi ladies i havent read through the thread yet but need to confess my sin first:o. Hands up in shame i bought the Coco Chanel ive ben lusting after. As per usual i have a list of justifications listed below:D

1 I bought it with a gift card
2 Chanel is never on offer (points, money off, gift etc) but in the store i went to they had a promotion of £5 off some fine fragrances and it works on chanel.
3 I only have 5 bottles of perfume left, so i would have been buying this at some point this year.
4 I resisted some reduced body washes in M&S that were really lush, actually got to the check out had them on the counter then changed my mind (was going to use them as handwashes as they had lovely pump bottles) as ive got loads of body wash etc at home in stash.

So what do you think then?? Shall i do my lines now or later:rotfl:.

Right off to catch up, am going to cinema tonight so have to make sure everythings all organised and spic and span before i leave, cause dh will panic if im not in the house.

Don't bin it, Ebay it!

Definately good advice, i ebayed some naked stuff before on a bin , think it was some kind of butter and it sold within days.

I'm also hoping to adopt the garnier roll on thingie which hubby bought for himself.

I've also started using some bodyshop face wipes for removing makeup at night followed by a little bit of vitamin e facial oil .The wipes smell lovely and the facial oil leaves my face feeling soft and absorbs quickly but I will have to use these items for a bit longer to decide if I WIBA.

This made me laugh:D

Morning everyone sos not posted for a few days,

I was very naughty last night



BUT it was only 70p

shampoos in tescos reduced, i had LOADS of aussie stuff in my basket aswell (half price) but i put all that back and only got one silverkrin shampoo at 70p

So monthly spend for toiletries so far in feb is grand total of 70p so far, and i found 80p yesterday so didnt really use my own money for it

:rotfl::rotfl:, so if you use your dh/ oh etc hals credit card does that not count either? Very simillar to the if no one saw me eat it, it does not make me fat:D.

Kidding though, see my confession .

Morning ladies-I'm going to get booted out of this thread -don't blame me though blame boots.

They have reduced bio oil
They have reduced the lee stafford box of tricks
They have got the frontcover rainbow eyes reborn on offer for a limited time
They have a maxfactor gwp -I love maxfactor gwp & I use 3 products regularly
and I desperately need/want/will use all of the above.

I have a £3 off mascara voucher for maxfactor
I only have about £20 in points left as I spent £60 worth on baby items
I am almost out of bio oil and need some more for bump
I gave my last front cover set to sis.

Am I allowed?:)

How much is the Bio Oil reduced to? I'm coming towards the end of my current bottle and will need some more soon anyway so it'd make sense to get some sooner if it's going to be cheaper!

Hi sonee2405, that sounds interesting. I need to get some of their mascara. Is it a minimum spend, what's the gift? Might make a useful gift for the MIL. :A

Lol me too

Paypal charge about 4% (i think) of total inc the p& p

Hello everyone, hope you's don't mind but I'm here to have a moan

I've been sanding the woodwork in the hall/stairs/landing and my hands are sore. I've got period pains. I've eaten 1 and a half layers of Milk Tray that OH bought me this morning because I feel a bit rubbish

Phew thats off my chest (and onto my big fat bum... oh my how nice is chocolate)

Right now I need some advice please I'm nipping into Boots tomorrow while I'm out to get some moistoriser that I'll need by the end of the week. Can anyone point me in the direction of some good cheap spf15 stuff please? On the website I've spotted Boots own vitamin e moisture spf15 for £2.79 but does anyone know how good it is? I'm planning on taking the exact money rounded up to the nearest £20 (just kidding:rotfl:) to the nearest £1 so I won't be able to go nuts and fill a trolley :T

Shall be back later for a proper read and giggle after I've cleaned myself up a bit and blew all this dust out of my nose... wow it's horrible and I hate decorating... well the boring bits anyway... how brill is painting though, can't wait
