    :wave: OMG! I struggled so much during the recent Smashbox shows on QVC that I had to keep physically going upstairs to look at what I've already got in order to convince myself that I do not need another purple eye palette! I have 3!!! :eek:

    Other than that I am just trundling along. We've got another Swap Fest next week, and I've got a few things on their last legs so I'm trying to target them and use them up.

    I've sort of thought about eBaying a bunch of recentish purchases that I don't really use - but I might need it all for "Swaps".

    I'm currently using hair mask instead of conditioner cos I've asked all the girls to bring any unwanted conditioners to Swaps so I won't have to buy any. :D

    Happy days! :j

    Darn the boots £5 voucher. I have about 3 washes left of my unloved S&G shower gel. That's my last shower gel. I love the No7 blissful body wash and it's 3 for 2. If I had a voucher I could get it for £12. Can't justify £17 on it though. Shame :(
    I'll ask my MiL if she has one. If not, I think DH needs some phone credit. I could use my points then to pay for the £12. Hmm, shall ponder on it. Don't suppose it's an online voucher is it?
    Debt: 16/04/2007:TOTAL DEBT [strike]£92727.75[/strike] £49395.47:eek: :eek: :eek: £43332.28 repaid 100.77% of £43000 target.

    AAARRRGGGHHHH....Bad Girl!! I've never tried Royal Jelly stuff and your description has totally honey-sucklled me into this one, it's sounds divine.


    Sorry, Bronnie! I hope the "honeysuckle smelling" one is still available but my local Boots only has the extracts of honey one and that is also the one that is on the website. I shall have a look when I'm next in a big branch of Boots - it was only £2.99 as well! It really is a favourite of mine.
  • Hello Ladies, another infamous "lurker" here who would like to join in if you wouldn't mind :o
    I've just recently graduated from university and am struggling with a £1k-ish overdraft that i'm determined to get rid of! soooooo little thing like not buying any toiletries until I have to seems like a start!
    So my contribution in September is:
    UU
    - The Sanctuary Mini Spa delights Body Scrub, Body Lotion and Body Wash (the Luxuary Bath Float is as yet untouched as I am a shower rather than bath person - might use it in the shower...hmm). WIBA? Undecided. I love the smell of these (quite spicy) but didn't seem to be moisturising and felt a tad oily.
    - MAC lipglass in Cultured. WIBA? No. I'm pretty sure there are better, less sticky lipglosses out there for less than £9!
    - Travel size Palmers cocoa butter. WIBA? Yes it's my favourite body lotion. Just got the olive butter one and a dove lotion to use first!

    Bought
    - Mitchum deodarent sticks - down to my last one and they were on 2for£3 in superdrug.

    Hoping to draw up a list of all the items in my stash at some point...

    Another UU boots Exfoliating Facial Wash WIBIA? I dont think so left my skin nice soft and clean but wasnt much of a exfoliator it was a bit too gentle just like a normal face wash so it is not worth the price but i have a lot of face washes in the stash dont think i need to buy one till next year.

    Morning all. Couple of UU here.

    UU: Clinique 30ml moisturiser. WIBA? No. Nice enough but doesn't really do anything for me.
    UU: BS tea tree body wash: WIBA? yes - its really great and does help keep the spots at bay.

    Onwards and upwards @:)
    New surname New start!
    Total Debt - [STRIKE]£9999.09 [/STRIKE]now 7633.16 23.66% paid off
  • A couple of UU's Wella Pro hair balm, WIBA - No didnt do anti frizz as it said and I have better serums in the stash.
    Boots No 7 P & P hand cream - WIBA - Yes but I have one already along with a couple of others.

    I am also using up an Aldi face cream as a hand cream as it was just to rich and perfumed for my face but I must admit is making my hands lovely and soft!
