  • Hello TheDD! :jwelcome aboard
    So no problem in stashing skincare, make-up, hair styling products, shampoo/ conditioner, nail polishes? Or shower gel, hand pump cleanser thingies?:A

    No, not at the moment :A ... but I don't get the opportunity to buy - if i was working near a town with Boots and Superdrug, then I think I probably would :rotfl:

    Someone has just told me that there is a branch of Sallys near me, that often have a good selection of OPI nail polish, I'm trying to pretend I never heard that :eek: otherwise I'd be there a couple of times a week!

    I do have a little mini stash of travel sized bits and bobs from Clarins that were GWPs, which I keep for holidays.
    Enjoying the power and freedom of letting things go.

    101 pages?! What have you ladies been up to?! :eek:

    I've finally got internet (and a flat!) in Switzerland, so thought I might catch up on this - erm, it might take a while!

    I'm back in for this month/year, though my stash is a lot less now after manic clearing out when packing/moving - it just wasn't worth paying to move some stuff.

    I've got a big box of lush bath bombs though to use in my bath (I haven't had a bath in years!), and I stocked up on some HG products.

    I've also found some online sites that deliver some of my HG stuff to Switzerland, so that'll avoid some of the rather steep prices here :p

    Erm, UUs - I've so lost track, but there were a few in December. Only ones I can think of are:
    Pack of Tesco vitamin e facewipes. WIBA? If I could!
    Almost done - tub of Elasticizer. WIBA? Hell yeah! A 1 litre tub is currently on it's way to me :D

    re did the foam party and got in this time after ticking all the "right" boxes!

    had a look at the stash ....good news only 1 large and 2 small body butters left:)bad news about 20+(did not have the nerve to count them) hand creams left.plus loads of other stuff so don't really need to do the clinique bonus time....except that I could do with some moisture surge to be ready for my hols and always need concealer pen so might as well get a gwp at the same time:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:....Debs is a better option than Boots as got some Christmas vouchers to use.

    found quite a few openned items that had obviously been stuff I had taken on weekends away so put all the shampoos/conditioners ready in bathroom to finish so at least have some more space in cupboard:)

    Hi all :wave:

    Not been about much this week as its been my last week at work.... I'm now on maternity leave, so will have more time to chat until little miss decides to make an appearance.....

    I've done really well this month, not bought any toilettries in January :j way my list is still looking, wont be buying any in February, March or April either :rotfl:My only slip buying the Nail incs lucky dip set.....

    I've got to admit though, this has been helped by Boots crashing every five minutes when the sale went 'live', no one finding any glitches on the grabbit board (either that or i've missed them!!) and being a bit skint...... :D

    I've decided that I hear you all talk about lovely things that I wouldn't have dreamt of buying previously that i'm determined to use my stash up and then try something different (rose candle philosophy) as I tend to buy same stuff over and over......

    I did manage to get the Gok set (30th birthday gift for close friend) and a Botanics wash bag (fathers day gift) from the Boots sale for £15 for both, so i'm really happy with those and have put them in my 'present' stash..

    Have had 3 'boring' UU, can't even remember what they were, but another 3 quid in the pot.....:p

    Going to have a read back now, see what i've missed!!!

    Well I have taken to wearing make up when ever I go out now (which granted isn't often!!) and I met a friend today for lunch (working from home she was Master Yoda :p) and she said although I looked tired and in pain I still looked GOOD!

    I'm in the foam party too! I haven't dyed my hair for ages and really need to as I'm now going grey. I didn't have to be inventive with my answers so I'm clearly in desperate need of it!
    So shall we all try to dye our hair on the same evening and have a bit of a party on here too?

    One in: Nail polish remover

    UU: Finally finished off the dregs of a perfume I wasn't too enamoured with.

    One body spray is on the wane so will hopefully use that up over the weekend.
