    Haven't posted for ages but i'm still in. Working through my stash slowly.
    One in Avon frizz control shampoo this is needed as I've almost finished my only shampoo.
    Two uus BS pepermint foot scrub 15ml WIBA? No
    BS coconut body scrub WIBA? No

    Spotted the BS code for 30% off so been on the site this morning was so tempted but really don't need anything. Going to keep telling myself that this offer is sure to be on again when I need something.

    Also really fancy the clinique gloss free with the mag (sorry can't remember which one) trying to resist have set myself a challenge I will get if I can uu 20 things before it goes off sale.

    rosemary thats awful is that all he can get? do you have critical illness covers for him? have you been to the ss offices to see what you can claim? im not sure what my fil got looking after mil but i know he did get some help, ill have to ask him now xx

    daisygirl hello! i dare you to go and add up how much all your toilteries cost..be prepared for a shock, you can allways ebay the freebies and like you say make them christmas gifts..saves you a lot of money

    Much love to you Rosemary xx

    I really daren't add any prices up!! lol, I would be so shocked yes! I just discovered I had a cosmetics bag chock full of samples and small sample sized things that I haven't ventured into yet - so I really do not need to buy any more facial stuff for a long long time. The toothpaste I have has changed though, I need sensitive stuff now so will be looking out for offers on those, and the stash I bought I while back in Wilkinsons when it was on for £1 a tube on Colgate ordinary stuff will be good for the rest of the family at least!

    The Avon brochure's on the kitchen table ............NO! Seriously though, there's nothing in there that's even tempted me this time, I did want one of the glitter eyeliners from the last brochure but I was too late in putting in an order - was was good really lol.

    My main shampoo is Tigi Fashionista which I bought a huge pump container of last time so there's loads left still, plus the matching conditioner, using up one of my Clarins body lotions s l o w l y:o
  • Daisy If you really TRULY had your heart set on the eyeliner then talk to your Avon rep - she can order for you from the previous brochure still, assuming that stocks are available. ;)

    ooh keelini i did nt see the code but have now used it many thanks ..i know im not supposed to buy toilteries but these are items i need rather than want, so i now have coming cleaner, toner, moisterizer, face mask, eye make up remover, and soap..ok so the mositerizer i already have some of that but if you spent £15 you got the face mask free, plus i still got 30% off meaning i saved just under £5 and only spent about £11.20 on all that plus free delivery..very happy ..so thats coming out of the beauty treatment stash but hey i dont have any of the other stuff in anyways! thanks hunny xx

    UU Mini Aqua Light conditioner - WIBA? No - it's ok but not intensive enough for me.

    Lots of UU's this month so far. Still feels like I've got loads in my stash though.

    Hope everyone is feeling bright on this Grey Wednesday!

    I have 2 splutterers : Tressemme 24hr volume shampoo and Superdrug Vit E cleaning lotion.. I'll let you know when they are done :)

    Still perservering with a full face of make up to work everyday, much easier now i've got my car and not doing the 40min cross country walk in the rain and ending up at work with make up running down my face :rotfl: have just realised i've begun to slack on the eyeshadow so will have to look that out to ensure that they are being used up.

    Some ins to report: an eyeliner when I was at Asda (either maybelline or rimmel - can't remember!) as the one's I bought from BS are rubbish and do not seem to line my eyes! i do have one still in the wrapper so might eBay that and give the other one to my sister if she wants it.
    2x hair dyes as my hair is at a langth now where I need more than one carton to dye my hair - skin test is done so these will be UU tomorrow night in anticipation of the weekend :) back to boring 'deep frosted brown' as I couldn't decide on what colour to go!

    Rosemary - i hope your luck takes a turn for the good soon as you deserve it, hugs to you and your family

    hope you all have a good day x

    Hi Roshy Doshy

    If its a BS eyeliner, they are fab for wxchanging things.I have took lots of stashed goods back, sealed and they are always happy to exchange or put on a gift card (Not telling you to buy more stuff-you could buy a Xmas prezzie with the exchange!):T

    ohh thanks for the headsup - not sure if i should be tempted to go in there :rotfl: i can't remember the last time i went in store - the online offers are too good! shall i bring in my online invoice to swap it with as proof as purchase? i thought cosmetics are excluded as its hygeine? sorry!

    think i should buy a present with it - now to think who hasnt benefited from the overspill of my stash :cool:

    They have never asked me for a receipt,the fact it is their own brand should be enough....you could take the invoice in if you wanted for extra piece of mind...though i have always found the BS assistants mega friendly
    Good luck-and buy presents!
