    I wish I lived near the boots clearance shop :(

    Is it easy to get to on public transport if I was in london for the weekend?
    Oi!! QONMW 157lugy.gif You're doing so well, you don't need the tempting clearance shop! Go and take a look at all the fab bargains you already have in your stash. 29q12kg.gif
    Time may be a great healer, but it's a lousy beautician.... :/

    Ladies I opened a No.7 mascara lash 360 today, it was so bad after an hour I had to remove it. It made my eyes water, I was continually rubbing them and it generally felt uncomfortable and tight.

    It was the 1st time I have used a no.7 mascara, will I be able to take it back I do not have the original receipt?

    Oh Good Lord :eek: is that use up or open your own business lol!!!

    Unless you can actually get through it all I'd think about shoving some on ebay or even making little tiny hampers type gifts for birthdays maybe? I'm a little bit jealous (a lot bit jealous) that my stash is pretty pathetically teeny tiny hehe. I would love to spend all day sorting through that lot :T

    Thanks for the links, they are still a bit pricey. I only want to pay a few pounds for a shower gel or bar of soap. I really begrudge paying more. Is original source okay?

    If not I think ill swap my deodorant and go for aveda body moisturiser but thats all. Its too expensive to change it all :( The government should do something about this! Or whoever does this sort of stuff.

    Hi

    Waitrose has an organic toiletries range. Not sure about the prices. Also, Tesco's Bnatural.

    I've just put in a few bits in my boots trolley (on line) but can't actually buy them because I need the money for something else tomorrow :o It's a few bits and bobs of make-up that I do need. It's not even a fib... I don't wear much make-up and really my skin could probably do with it lol. My OH is staring at me from across the room with a knowing look and I feel slightly uncomfortable atm :rotfl:He noticed I was on the Boots website and said "What are you doing now"? I can't reach into the drawer from were I am to get my bank card... not without him seeing me :o

    I gave him strict instructions that I'm not allowed on Boots for a bit. I don't spend a huge amount, maybe a few quid every now and then. Have now closed Boots and opened the Sky News site befor I get in trouble ;)

    phew finally caught up with the thread.

    My avon order (from before!) arrived today. Three skin so soft body oil sprays Even with swimming three times a week and using it after every swim that's easily a year's worth.

    I have just begun with the OCM and am liking it so far - using olive oil at the minute cos its what I had in but it is a good olive oil. Might try to pick up some of the proper stuff though. I will need to buy a few muslin cloths though - using an old facecloth at the min but I need a few alternates.

    Please tell me the bodyshop offer is over, I am resisting going in but it's taking all my willpower!

    At the minute using up a minature dove shower gel and the last drop in my bottle of SSS bath oil (but don't worry, 7 more where that came from) :)

    Well done everyone!

    Belfastgirl, if you would like a muslin cloth, pm me your address and I will send you one, I have 3! I don't need 3!

    And me :D

    Haven't used up anything today, but MIL bought me a night cream today :eek: I seem to have developed a dry patch on my face so am trying to cut things out and find out what caused it :( I've got a bloody rash on my legs to from some rubbishy hotel shower gel/body lotion :mad:

    Don't think I will post my stash just yet, it's still a bit scary :eek:

    I'm soooo near the end of a tub of body moisturiser.

    So near, and yet so far: I'm sure that it lasts longer the nearer one gets to the end of the tub!
