    Sorry all. I weakened and bought the S&G set. However, I am going to get my mum to give it to me for a pressie. So do I still need to 'fess up to an IN?


    Yes :rotfl: :rotfl:

    I bought another bottle of Nivea cleanser as I ran out of 'creamy' cleansers and only have the 'wash your face' variety left. Sometimes the creamy stuff is more practical. :)

    Also, I bought some Sally Hensen leg tan stuff for a wedding I attended. It was discounted, but I didn't use it in the end, and I wanted to return it, but couldn't cos of the bad weather. I'll have to make a point of using it so it isn't wasted.

    I also bought a half a body Fake Bake which has proved very good value as that was discounted as well, so all's good here! :D

    Two more UUs for me, this is quite a week! Two bottles of BS cucumber cleansing water (weird that two ran out at the same time lol - I have one in the bathroom and one in the bedroom). WIBA - yes, I lurve it and was so happy when it came back. It cost £3.99 (although I got mine as part of a glitch) so will put £7.98 into the pot. :)

    I used to buy this years ago - it smelt lovely. I might be tempted at some point - only when I get low on face wipes/wash though of course ;)!

    I have been tidying up/clear out of my flat before Christmas and have found some more items that I forgot I even had. They were stashed in a toiletry bag I haven't used in a loooonnngggg time. I have added them into my inventory but for the record they are:
    • Next Define 30mls fragrance (1/2 used)
    • Clinique Lipstick bronze (almost sputtering)
    • Clinique Lipstick Travel Size (almost spluttering)
    • The White Company Shampoo, Conditioner & Body Lotion all 50mls
    The list goes on and on...:( And this is before the xmas prezzie round up of the usual toilerties for auntie xxxx!!!

    Also a splutterer to report - Listerine Mouthwash. Love this and already have several in my stash to replace it.

    I have plenty more in my stash lol.

    I have fallen well off the wagon again ladies, the BS sale tempted me... £41.50 of goodies for £12.60 yay! My gift stash is actually running a bit low :eek: so I needed to replenish it. I got myself a nut butter trio for £3.66 (RRP £10!) as well so am chuffed. (sorry though :o )

    p.s. can a lipstick be said to splutter? :rotfl:

    Must resist S&G tomorrow when I am back at work ;)
    Life is a coin, you can spend it anyway you wish, but you can only spend it once.
    Go as far as you can see, and when you get there you'll see further.
    Take time but don't waste time
