Hi tara,

"OK, confession time, I spent £22 on two lots of stuff from the Body Shop - the Polynesian set, plus 2x Vit E facial oils and a Vit E body butter. I tried the facial oil today and it is gorgeous!!!!!!! Quidco at 15% will bring it down to under £19. Anyway, sorry girls, I feel guilty and I shall not ever look at their website again. :o:o:o"

Sorry I missed it! Probably blown away from the amounts you're making from ebay! I have some Superdrug vitamin e oil to use up - it's ok but it's quite messy to use - dont think this one is pure vitamin e either. Step away from the Body Shop mineallmine!

As we are all in confession mood I confess that I will be buying Benefit sugarbomb next week when debs have the 10% off promo on , I will also buy the flora gucci that I am saving and selling on ebay for.
I may also succumb to temptation and order shimmer cubes,3 more vitamin e products and a free grapefruit bodybutter from the bodyshop all for £24-shimmer cubes are £16 fullprice so it is very tempting.I stopped myself last night by thinking about the lemon body butter that will be instore next mth.

OK, good morning: everyone want to know what was in my goody bag?

A fullsized one of these:
http://www.spacenk.co.uk/product/bath+%26+body/life+nk/life+nk+soul+soothing+body+lotion+-+200ml.do

Samples of:
talika lash enhancer (I have used fullsized and not impressed, gave to my mum!)

Nuxe cleanising water : gave to mother who loves Nuxe.

Nude Skincare sample trio: cleansing facial oil, advanced eye complex and miracle mask (the latter two are exciting to me!)

sample of the new Iris Nobile scent from Aqua di Parma...which reminds me of livin in Italy
Eve Lom radiance cream

Nuxe Hand and nail cream

Kate somerville deep tissue repair cream

Radial snake serum (they are actually calling this snake oil a spade it seems!)

What a shame! I'm really looking forward to reading The Time Traveller's Wife

I think eklynne meant the book was better tha the film in both cases so you should still enjoy the book.

I loved the lovely bones (first chapter was hard and i nearly stopped reading) but once you get past the murder its a really good story.
that sounds really wrong doesn't it
i wont go to see the film as ive been put off by reviews saiyng its not the same as the book and my DD went to see it but hadnt read the book so i had to explain some of the gaps in the plot to her.

Ive seen the time travellers wife but not yet read the book, its on my tbr shelf

took my polish off last night nad nails are starting to look a bit discoloured after 4 weeks of constant painting so ive decided once the polish chips it comes off and they get the rest of the week nude with just cuticle cream etc on

managed to use up
a small bottle of bodyshop oceanus body lotion WIBA no i have way to much in my stash to even consider buying body lotion.
bottle of morrys vitE cleanser WIBA it did what it said on the bottle and was nice and cheap but i have a simple one to use next that was cheap from tesco
threw out, a fake bottle of blue ice fragrance it had been knocking round for ages and was too awful to wear but i didnt want to bin it so it sat on the top of the cupboard reminding me what a waste of money it was
3/4 of a bottle of mouthwash went down the loo as it was well past its date.
a couple more revitalift moisturiser sachets used

started on a white musk body lotion next it feels a bit watery but its only a lttle bottle so should manage to use it up in under a week.

Also ebayers, keep your eyes and ears open for free listing days and REMEMBER Paypal and Ebay fees. I got a bit of a shock when I got my bill in this month.

Everytime I have a few items finish I pay the ebay fees, I also use the royal mail posting online on ebay and therefore I know that the money left in my paypal is the 'profit'!

To be honest, if you have so many things that you know it will be impossible to use them up before they go off, then it's the sensible thing to do.

*Looks around innocently*

That's not a hint to some of you on here or anything, honest!

Thanks InaPickle. I did this last year when I did cosmetics on the 100 day challenge too and I think selling things/giving as gifts and returning if appropriate are all as important using things up. It's all about reducing what we have, realising we've bought something we shouldn't of done and then with the money we get we can buy something we do need/want whether it be me buying some flake away which I've almost run out of with money made selling things I've got from all those Boots vouchers or Tara buying jewellery with money made on ebay.

Well that's my take on it!

Hi ladies quick hello, nice to hear what you think of the film/ book Lovely bones, one of my friends had read it and was disappointed with the film, whereas the other loved it and we had to walk her to her car poor girl:eek:. I havent read it but will borrow it soon, probably after ive read the time travellers wife thats been on my shelf for what seems like forever.:o
