    What's your Clarin's blue bath stuff? What does it smell of? :o:o

    I'm going to have a bath to tonight with a Yon Ka face mask...I've got a flush of spots on top lip, thankfully they feel worse than they look:o
    its called relax bath and shower concentrate and it smells lovely but can't explain what it smells of as quite unusual:)............off to run the bath :):):)

    Im still in - with the mission to use as much as possible this month, so that I can take advantage of the sales in Boots after and around Christmas, and stock myself with things that I need - but only stock up with things that I actually LIKE rather than anything as long as its cheap.... (does that make sense??!!!)

    Hi i am still with the challenge, just spent an age putting some make up on ebay most of it unwanted gifts or stuff that has been knocking around a while - can't stand the clutter any more! (am on declutter challenge also) I have got so much better since joining this challenge, am now at a point where for many products (shampoo, shower gel, bubble bath) i only have one that is in use. Still got a way to go before getting through the stash and Santa normally brings a few goodies to me (have dropped big hints about elemis) Currenly using up a few of the clarins mini treats - the gentle foaming cleanser is a lovely product. Lots of things at the spluttering stage - like other have said must get back into a routine to use the stuff up!

    Thanks footymad, am in again. Will go find my stash list from last month to try and keep it up to date.

    Another UU: Original source lime shower gel. DH bought this and used it. He has replaced it with an original source honey one. WIBA?: He likes the original source gels. They aren't too expensive either so probably wba.
    Lots more stuff to get through now. Hope to get some lovely products for Christmas too. :) see you later :)

    Thanks for the new thread footmadgal, count me in yet again.

    Hopefully will manage more outs and than ins again this month. 3 ins today, but they were free so does that count :o 3 Rimmel lipsticks, not sure why I got 3, but 2 are one of my fave colours so am keeping them, the other 1 will be giving to DD when she comes back from uni next week. I am actually running low on lipsticks in colours I like so was actually getting close to buying some new ones so these have saved me having to do that. I have loads of lipsticks that I have bought as I liked the colour and then when I try them on my lips they are just not me :(, why do the colours always look right when you try them on the back of your hand and then wrong on your lips? I cant seem to throw them away as nothing actually wrong with them, could do with another trade in like they did in Boots years ago.

    Impressive list Jacks, must have cost you a fortune to amass all that :eek:

    Most of my stuff was picked up with many glitches/freebies, etc over the years and is mostly run of the mill stuff.

    I'm a naughty girl. I didn't have a bath last night because I felt hanging. The night before, I managed about 2 minutes in it. It was freezing! So I didn't wash my hair (my sister was on the phone and I couldn't get her off). Consequently, today I really really need to wash my hair. I need a good and proper scrub but the water just isn't staying warm because it's so cold outside. I would just wash it over the side of the bath but DH fitted one of thos stupid water savers to the shower head and now you can't get your hair wet under it. Complete pita and he can't remove it :(.
    I suppose I could be really decadent and have a nice deep bath at about 11 and then get out of it and go to bed until I have to pick up the kids. That way, I won't be so hanging at work tonight. I must remember to put my ice scraper in the car too actually so that I can see to drive home in the morning. Catch you all later :)

    Hello new shiny thread!!!

    I have resisted all Body Shop offers for MONTHS, am so proud. :beer:

    Haven't been Bootsing at all till the points events and currently have £220 of points on my AC through massive glitches, which I will either save for the 75% sale or buy a load of Chanel perfume to flog on eBay (thereby removing the temptation to buy any old tat just to spend them). Perfume sells really well on eBay, sometimes for close to the RRP! claire21 has been a fab source of Boots glitches so my points have been accumulated for very little money and all on Christmas presents. Best of all, I got £50 of free points after the Lancome glitch - bought £55 of stuff, collected in store and returned straight away in a fit of shoppers' remorse, but the SA forgot to remove the points! :)

    Will list my recent INs shortly. :o
    Get to 119lbs! 1/2/09: 135.6lbs 1/5/11: 145.8lbs 30/3/13 150lbs 22/2/14 137lbs 2/6/14 128lbs 29/8/14 124lbs 2/6/17 126lbs
    Save £180,000 by 31 Dec 2020! 2011: £54,342 * 2012: £62,200 * 2013: £74,127 * 2014: £84,839 * 2015: £95,207 * 2016: £109,122 * 2017: £121,733 * 2018: £136,565 * 2019: £161,957 * 2020: £197,685
