....So shall we all try to dye our hair on the same evening and have a bit of a party on here too?

Sounds like fun :j

Well a sh!tty day yesterday seems to be turning into a sh!tty weekend for me as I feel awful DD has come over again tonight which is lovely but noisy

Been 'shopping' on eBay again :rotfl: I did bid on some lipbalms (24 of them :eek:) but was outbid so have left it - saw some better ones after I bid on those so was quite lucky really Now just have to be good and not bid on the ones I really want :rotfl:

Gonna have a good long pampering bath and hopefully it will help me feel better and sleep better

:cool:

2 OUTs- The BS Cucumber Cleanser that upset my skin is off to a new home with my mate who loves it.
- CK Obsession Night 7ml to my daughter. I was showing her my stash and she just stood there with her mouth hanging open shaking her head! This was a mini that came from an offer sometime ago, 2 7ml bottles for postage of £2.95. I got 3 sets = 6 bottles. DD had one when they first came and now she's swiped another one, but I still have 3 left

My Delicious Night (type) from Perfume Parlour is nearly dead, a couple more days I reckon.

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:

OOPS, just been in the airing cupboard looking for toothpaste(just 1 small one from Bzzzz left)BUT found another 4 large and 2 small body butters:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek: and yet more hand cream....at this rate I won't need to buy any more for at least a year.

must also be cracking up as am sure there was some more toothpaste as usually have loads in:(

Good news DS2 now has a job and will be moving in with girlfriend(I will miss him of course but at 23 it is time he went his own way and after 3 years at uni it is not good for him to be dependent on us.

Evening all,

To balance out buying 2 BS hemp hand creams last night I have decided to give my mum a l'occitane hand cream and soap out of my stash along with her bday present.

Makes me look super generous and keeps the stash down a bit!!

Didn't get along to Debenhams to swap my mascara at Clinique so I am chucking it instead, it was finished already. So one UU Clinique High Impact mascara GWP size. Wouldn't mind if I got it for free again but not my favourite Clinique mascara so wouldn't buy myself.

Have a good weekend xx

Hi all

I can't keep up!!!! I've been sooo busy. No UUs to report, but am getting near the end of a few things. I have a few INs to report... several (cough) Batiste dry shampoos but they are on an amazing offer so I have stocked up!!!

I've started going to Curves (really need to lose weight) and am enjoying it! Does anyone else go? xo

:rotfl:LOL at the image of your daughter in shock at the size of your stash. She must be one of those organised people I've heard about!

OK, have read back a little bit

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

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

Hi fixx, good to hear from you again! How's the weather with you?

I have tried Elasticizer (just bought s small size) but wasn't sure about it. Do you need to use it for a while to see results or should it be effective from the first go?

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......

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!!!

Hi SJP, good luck with your maternity leave and the big day! :T

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 ) and she said although I looked tired and in pain I still looked GOOD!

That's fab Dragon, good for you :A

Well, suitcase is packed and I have decanted some of mys stash into smaller bottles. I've also taken some samples from magazines with me that I can try out while I'm away.
I hope that next month I will be better and have more UUs that INs
Still have 2 £5 No7 vouchers to use up, but decided against buying anything today in Boots, everything has gone up loads in store.
Have a nice weekend

Have finished another Mitchum deoderant today.

WIBA? Would I not buy again is more of the question - it's very good stuff and I work in a generally very hot environment, so it's a must.

Onto the next one...

Edit: WOW, I've had 10 UUs since the beginning of the year! :j It won't carry on at this rate as some of them have taken a whole year to use up, and others were travel sizes that I needed to use up quickly before they went off, but it's a great start to the year! :T
