The last one I stayed at was in Cheltenham and I went shopping and bought lots of clothes while I was there. I've just recalled a skirt I bought there which I wore to a friend's 40th birthday celebration which was a barge trip. My friend is now 46! So the bath foam was 6 years old, assuming it was left over from Cheltenham and not from my trips to Buxton or Oxford :rotfl:.
Well, thought I would be on my sad lonesome checking in here on a sunday morning (whilst wating for the Body Shop to open....) so hiya to yee all. :wave:
Good to know bubble bath lasts for so long - I wonder how long other things last? I've got some soap that I'm sure is 20 years old and it still smells lovely (sentimental value so I'll never use it.)
Anyway, my thinking being, although I don't neeeeeeeeeeed anything from the BS, at such good value, could I stash it away for the next 6 years.........:rotfl::rotfl:I am not sre body butter lasts as well as bubble bath would.....Less stuff, more life, love, laughter and cats!
Even if I'm on the shopping threads, it doesn't mean I'm buying! Sometimes it's good to just look and then hit the CLOSE button!0 -
Forgive me people, for I have sinned....I went to Body Shop.
I only wanted to look at the Seaweed stuff for your face (your fault for recommending it) and then the lady told me about the sale and the buy 5 items save £10. I managed to get £80 worth of stuff for £40. Plus the lady said if I react to the Seaweed stuff, I can take it back for a refund.
So I managed to get 2 of the holdall sets (Strawberry and Pink Grapefruit) and virtually the whole Seaweed face line. I don't know how many "ins" that is. In my defence (if you will allow me to proffer one), my skin had a massive reaction to a new cleanser I tried and I broke out like crazy plus my moisturiser has died a death. Also, the body gel I've been using is spluttering.
Hopefully, I won't need anything for a while now. Plus, it went on a gift card so didn't detract from my debt repayment plan.How long til pay day? :eek:

:jHi all
I have decided to join this thread because I have that many toiletries I am struggling for places to store them. Bought myself S&G tote bag and bundle, had a set botanics, FCUK and some anatomicals as well as Clarins and Olay for christmas. Whenever i have a UU I am going to put £2 away (unless I have to replace them such as deodourant/toothpaste/shampoo). I have loads of shower gel, body lotion etc. UU two things tonight; a small body scrub from M&S, WIBA - probably not because it was in a set (it was ok though) and dove body lotion WIBA - yes but only when others have been used.Declutter 300 things in December challenge, 9/300. Clear the living room. Re-organize storage

:)Very tempted by the QVC TSV of Decloer but nope I resisted, I thought of my tote filled with stuff and the fifty odd quid that I could spend on something better than more stuff.Declutter 300 things in December challenge, 9/300. Clear the living room. Re-organize storage

I'm staying away from The Body Shop sale. I don't really find their stuff all that great. I do have quite a large Body Shop stash, mainly from presents though.
Today i am having a much deserved lazy day0 -
I've touched up my roots today. I have been very MSE and will get 3 uses in total from the pack. Once it is gone though will need to buy more but should be ok for at least another month or so.0
