I'm quite philosophical about it tbh, I have no real regrets apart from the fact I haven't got the enjoyment of using it all yet. I intend now to use it all up or gift some of it on. A lot of the stash is online glitches, boots clearance, presents/ bought with vouchers, bought much cheaper in the US etc so at least I know I didn't pay anywhere near as much for it all as I could have. The shower gels for example worked out to be practically free due to a price glitch/good points return/ being sent a duplicate order and told to keep it:rotfl: Toiletries are my guilty pleasure so I'll never completely stop buying non essentials, but I do intend on being more selective and in control from now in. I think thats a good first step:)

Hi Claire,

you have a wonderful attitude and a wonderful amount of stuff.
Any chance of a photo of it all?:D

Oh the shame of it:o

I just opened my fridge and discovered something I had completely forgotten about - the BS elderflower cooling eye gel. I have just applied some, and whacked some on the OH as well:rotfl:

I keep my eye gels in the fridge and my nailvarnishes too. Claire I really recognise a kindred spirit in you. I am so glad you have joined us.

Just used up the dove summer glow and my p&p night cream sample. Full size P&P got out from stash. I already have another body moisturiser out to alternate with the S&G righteous butter (which I'm not particularly impressed with btw!).

Don't be too sure! Exclude make up and I'm sure I could rival a few of you ladies.

Y'know, I'm not so sure you can call yourself a true culchie if you have so many toiletries... do your male friends know about this? :rotfl:

question for you all - do you use gradual tanner that is sold for the body on your face or do you buy a seperate one?

I use the body one on my face BUT I use serum/light moisturiser under it so that my face doesn't go too dark. HTH!!!

Just for anyone who still cares.... Ive just had an msn brief conversation with mr stood me up on Saturday night.... he asked me what i did at the weekend,to which my answer was "got stood up Sat, which changed my plans for Sunday - so not what i thought I was going to be doing..." then he went offline....

so i text him and asked him if he was ok, and told him he cant treat me the way he does - got the reply "please just leave me alone" - wierdo !!!

I refrained from replying "with pleasure" and sent "ok, if thats what you really want,then thats fine.good luck with everything x "

hiya sorry i've been away - not ignoring this comment! i usually use the ones that comes with the eyelashes but had an incident with one last weekend and thought i'd try a new one - i bought a Revlon one from Boots (about £5 i think) and used it last night - is it worth it? YES my lashes never budged all night! defo a convert to that now when messing around with non named lashes, but eyelure works well too!x

Thanks for that, will have a look in Boots! Is it withthe make up?

But would you want him? Sounds like you are better off without someone who would make plans and break them again with so little regard for you.
