    SO true!

    But that's what my cats keep saying too - especially my siamese. :rotfl:


    Tell me about it!! I have 2 cats and they RULE this house :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
  • Just googled pink rose candle because I wanted to track down the poem people have referred to. Found this for anyone else that wants to read the poem (plus someone's story about their very own pink candle):

    Keep using & enjoying those toiletries, ladies! :T

    I done that last week :rotfl: but the perfume is being eBayed - not as nice as I hoped!! The rest of the stuff I had plenty of in my stash :D


    have to agree on the perfume, I had it once and my mum visited and asked what cleaning products I was using because they smelled awful:eek: needless to say I didn't wear it after that, a pity though because I loved the bottle.
  • another uu today:
    tesco value brand conditioner - this cost me the princely sum of 24p for 500mls! it was as good as many more expensive conditioners I've used so it's on the definitely maybe repurchase list

    so far this month: 12 uu's/outs and 0 ins :A:A:A:A:A

    Yes, another household here where H.R.H The Cat is in charge! :D

    I've just noticed that I have some splutterers - a deodorant, a Softlips lip balm, and one of THE eye makeup removers. :rotfl: Will report back as soon as there is any progress on those!

    By the way, to clarify, with the date in the signature, mine will refer to non-essential spends, so if I buy something as a treat or just because I fancy it, or if I buy a product of a type I already have in the stash it will be changed, but if I buy toothpaste or something I have genuinely run out of, then it won't.

    Very sensible! :T That's a good way of doing it - so long as you don't buy 400 of whatever you need! :rotfl:

  • I used flake away last night
    It had already been used by me and i suspect I saved it because i liked it so much! :o
    thanks to thie thread I have now given myself permission to use it rather than save it for a special occasion (pink candle moment)
    and it's a big tub so this is one item I'm in no rush to use up!!:rotfl:

    Yay! So u should. I'm off to have my second bath of the day and I'm going to use my flake away.

    I'm not going made just have a painful boil in trying to encourage to drain.

    Sorry if TMI! :-)

    I just wanted to say how much I'm loving our "pink rose-shaped candle" attitude on this thread :D I don't remember who posted it originally (Andrea?), but it really seems to have changed our way of thinking in these few days since we read it. I'm wearing perfume everyday (I'm a cleaner:p) and I'm loving it. I'm using up my "nice" bits in my stash instead of saving them (for what???) and pampering myself almost daily, and lets face it, nobody else is gonna do it for me :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    We're all gorgeous, and we deserve gorgeous things :T

    So true! I'm off work at the moment because of my boil ( well its a 2inch abscess in groin so can't walk very well) but I've got up every morning and 'put my face on' added my perfume and done my hair.

    I prob looked odd in my pink spotty jammies, leopard print slippers and bright red lippy with winged eye-liner!

    Made me perk up a bit!

    Some lovely lists and lush stash pics on the go here ladies & gent.

    Continuing on the pink rose candle theme I have taken a bottle of my Issay Miyake perfume into work to live there. I always wear perfume and usually have some in my bag but having recently moved jobs, I now have some safe storage areas in work to leave things like this. It should also help get the old stash down too :D.

    I am going to collect some Christmas prezzies tonight that my extended family haven't passed onto me yet and traditionally there tends to be toiletries in the mix.

    Also for those on toenail watch Day 3 - I still haven't painted them yet...maybe tonight :p
