    Hi. Just popping on as I actually got slight palpitations as I walked past Boots today with all their offers on. Thought I could just go in for some new eyeshadow (will need some soonish) then remembered that I've got a brand new freebie Clinique one to use. Felt so strong. Thank you to you all. Am finishing up a few things here and there, I love that feeling when you've scraped or squirted every last bit out and can officially throw it away!

    I love that feeling too! I make myself use up every last bit, even when I hate the product, can you tell MSE-ing is in my bones!!! :money: :rotfl:

    Me too! Although my DH thinks I use things too generously just to get the "I've finished it" buzz! (Don't tell him but he may have a point!)

    Little bit sad as I've found a s&g product i don't like! I didn't ever see that coming! I'm really not keen on Clean Mary, it left me feeling really greasy so I threw it in the bin with about half left as I had nobody to palm it off to!:(

    I'm not that keen on Clean Mary either, it doesn't seem to exfoliate which is a shame.

    I'm ok. I was sick earlier in the week, which I think was a bit of delayed reaction. We thought we'd solved it when I left her at the vets...so its been a bit slow sinking in. My little greyhound is missing her frightfully, they came to us on the same day from the same place :(. Clever's sister is obviously missing her too, but also slightly smug. :o

    You have dogs too lostinrates? I'm so jealous now! :o I have to make do with a virtual adopted menagerie which includes three dogs, two donkeys, an otter, a penguin, an elephant, a puffin, an orca and a green turtle. :D

    Back on topic, I am mortified to admit that I have just found another clutch bag full of nail polish and nail care products in the top of my wardrobe. :(
    Time may be a great healer, but it's a lousy beautician.... :/

    Hi all

    Had to go into boots today to get some tablets and got a £5 off voucher for no7 but I walked straight past and out the door without stopping to look. My mum was shocked and asked me if I was okay :rotfl:. I explained about the challenge and she said she could understand what I meant as she had seen what I had when I had unpacked when I moved here two and a half years ago. What she didn't know was that I have added to it since then:o.

    Finished up a Mary Cohr Ice Lift mask (15ml) wiba? It is ok, but not worth buying again.
    and a Liz Earle Brightening Treatment (15ml)...well, actually found that I hadn't put the lid on properly the last time I used it, and it had dried up...wiba? Yes (but have tube in stash so don't need to atm). I adore the smell and the glow it gives to my skin. Can highly recommend this mask (but only buy if you really need it, don't want you increasing your stash unneccessarily and then blamng me!!!!)

    Back from the bathroom...just 'finished' a Gatineau Eye serum (by washing the tiny bit left down the plug hole...). I do like Gatineau, but this serum did b*gger all for my eyes. wiba? nope!!

    They brought me a mouse later in the day. While I was actually being sick they sat next to me wailing (they are siamese) and headbutting me for reassurance or moral support or something. They are funny.

    Mine is a british shorthair and she thinks worms are funny. She has just started to go out into the big wide world and all she could catch was a worm. I love cats they are brilliant.
    Yours sound great too.
    8 months to go till end of the IVA :j:rotfl::T
