What's going on? Anything exciting?

Can't see much :rotfl:Saw a few people hanging around earlier, now there's three cars and an ambulance. Am assuming (hoping) it's not murder/suicide or something as there was no flashy lights/sirens and didn't turn up with the police cars. hmmmmm, I'm tempted to go walk my non-existent dog :rotfl:. Am thinking I may just have to wait until I see the gossip hounds at work tomorrow!

Oh no, nothings wrong with it. Its just that its so expensive.
I have spent years and goodness only knows how much money on trying to find the fountain of youth from a lotion or potion.
I now realise that enough sleep, happiness, good food and plain water (yuk:() and a spf15 cream are all it takes to keep you looking your best.
Did I mention chocolate and sex too? Not necessarily at the same time

I was a marketing man's dream, but not any more

:T:T:T:T I am going to copy and paste this and stick it on my bathroom mirror!!!

The rest of us are going to bet a bottle/tub of our favourite product on how long it will take you to use up that stash from TODAY (keep a count, love, and let us know).

I bet one Body Shop Watermelon Body Butter that it will take salesaddict exactly four years to the day (from today) to use up every product pictured on that table.

Who'se next?!

I'll bet one tub of discontinued Body Shop Honey body butter that it'll be 4 years and 8 months! :rotfl:

On the subject of smell, smells can be tremendously powerful memory triggers, hence why you couldn't bear the smell of fresh flowers for so long. You seem to find it particularly powerful.

I agree about scents, they bring back memories better than any sight or sound ever could. I think smell is my most powerful sense.

My mum hoards and I've got off her. Strange thing is when I lived at home I hated it. I was forever saying mum you NEED to get rid of this/that/whatever it was! Now at uni I buy buy buy, like others said though I think it's emotional stress. I'm finding it terribly hard being away from my family as we're so close.

A bit off topic, but what are these like? I've been toying witht the idea of getting a set which I've seen on the Book People website

I know, I was looking for somewhere to start a book thread rather than derail this one lol

The TB set?

I can't believe how many things we all have in common. The hoarding!

I hoard:

Books (almost all from charity shops/Grabbits)
Storage boxes/baskets
Tupperware
100W lightbulbs (as these WILL disappear from the shelves soon and I hate the ES ones, they're so dim - anyway I have about 300 in my stash LOL!)
Towels (I love nice white fluffy ones )
Herbal teas!
Bits of fabric
Pretty notebooks and recipe binders (almost all empty, as if I don't want to sully them by writing in them!!!)

And goodness knows what else... :rotfl:

I can't keep up!!!!!!!! :eek: How many pages have been posted today??

Anyway - to whoever said that they are addicted to tupperware and storage boxes, I am exactly the same! :rotfl:

I am not bathing/pampering tonight as I'm listing stuff on eBay, but am hearing nasty rumours about Paypal fees (on top of eBay's 10% final value fee eek) and am starting to think that I'll never make any money after everyone's had their cut.

ETA: Forgot to say, got a free sample of Olay Regenerist Eye Derma-Pod today - anyone tried them? Last time I tried the Olay 7 signs of aging eye cream it really made my eyes red, swollen and sore so a bit worried about trying this.


I used to sell Tupperware: you definitely do not want to know how much of that stuff I have:o Could have been worse as well: I've given loads away since they dumped all us party ladies:o

I know, it's strange isn't it. But comforting - we're not so different after all.....

Do you collect recipe cards as well tara? I'm a sod for that! :rotfl:
