roshydoshy - enjoy Westlife tonight! I LOVE them but don't know anyone else who does so I couldn't go to their Manchester date Mind you, I used to have a friend that liked them and we saw them together about 30 times so I can't really complain! Unfortunately she's moved away now though so no more

*sigh* Nicky...

I used to like them, but haven't really listened to them in years! My friends are going to the Dublin dates which I'm jealous of but we're only going tonight as I took advantage of the free tickets for the O2 on the grabbit board yesterday .... my sister adores me now! hehe

It's a shame that you didn't live closer to London to get some free tickets too

I know, when I saw it I was quite annoyed. Ah well - maybe it'll happen for the Manchester one too! I saw them in Dublin a few times, it was great to see them on their home turf (well, Nicky and Brian's home turf anyway!)

Oh! Enjoy it and report back! x

tried the epilating last night (bikini line and not thighs lol) when very tired and it really didn't hurt, just a tiny bit of a sting compared to the arms! I'm a true convert! I missed a bit but thats because I was tired and not paying attention so will be redoing it this weekend or early next week!

Good stuff! Have fun at Westlife! :cool:

OK, dilemma. I need some more night cream pretty soon and the Time Delay stuff is £5 off at the moment. My challenge was to not buy anything with the Time Delay £5 off voucher when it starts next week - can I buy it now while it's just £5 off on the shelf edge?!

Alternatively - any recommendations for a very cheap night cream or alternative?

lilian1977... I love the Carrot moisturiser from BS... it's rich and has decreased the creases in my face! It's also only £3.99...

Oh... made my list today. BLIMEY! 100+ items and that's not counting make up plus the box full I chucked when we moved. Wow. I'd better get going!

a lip brush is ideal for this - although i've rarely reached this point lol

i do usually use a lip brush roshy, but i find once i get down to the nubby bit its easier to decant it into a pot as its less packaging and just easier to get at. (anyway by putting 2 together in the pot ive minimised my stash by 1 item;))

Hi lynsey

did you ever post a photo of the 743 items? I would love to see it if so.
How can you have used up so much stuff?

I didn't have 743 items when I started this challenge and stopped buying. I probably only had a few more items than I have now.

I got rid of some of it by e-baying but also I think about 100 of those items were tealights that I had on my list and also what I have managed to use up over the years.

Didn't post a picture at the start, to be honest I don't know how to (and no it's not because of the embarrassment, I'm not embarrassed by it just fed up that I have so much stuff and can't try things I would like to try ). It's currently stored in 6 collapsible crates, 3 drawers in my chest of drawers and two little drawers in my bedside table. I am getting through it though and am pleased to say that I'm not buying anything like I used to (I could easily place an Avon order every campaign which is every 3 weeks :eek: hence why I'm in this situation).

I did treat myself to the Liz Earle TSV back in February and also to a Leighton Denny crystal nail file because I'd always wanted one and am now only buying things on an as and when needed basis. I have definitely come a long way since my days as an Avon rep and I'm sure one day, Sales Addict, you will become more like me and realise there is more to life than Avon or whatever your brand vice is.

Keep up the good work and we'll both get through this together.
