    Those of you who remember or bought a big deluxe Gok set, how much were they in the sale? I hoped I would get one for christmas but never, then missed out in the sale :o I am now watching/bidding on some on ebay but don't want to spend more than they were in the sale.

    Many thanks :D

    They were £45 to start with, and then I think I paid £11/12 in the 75% sale...

    for me, the ones on ebay at the moment are being a bit hopeful - though things are worth what people are prepared to pay, hopefully there will still be people wanting to buy them when/if I decide to put mine on - I have had another sniff and cant decide if I think I like it or not...


    BTW - Glamour Mag next month have freebees again - Clinique things this time.... :eek:

    UU today - a Sanex roll-on deodorant which I've only been using at weekends as it takes too long to dry when I'm rushing around for work. WIBA? I tend to use sprays now so I'm unlikely to buy another roll-on.

    Many thanks Trudi, I am bidding on one now so fingers crossed. I couldn't believe it when I saw some BIN's at £35+. Fingers crossed I may win it, if not I will wait and see if anymore come up but I am only prepared to go up to just over the 75% sale price for it :p

    Edit, didn't win it which I don't think is a bad thing. At least thats not another 7 in's :)

    Thanks trudij for the Glamour Clinique poss freebies next month.

    I've changed my sig to show - total unplanned spend in 2011. Which so far is £2.99. Nope make that £2.99 plus Avon foundation of £4..... trots off to update sig. Hopefully this figure will shame me into not splurging on stuff I wasn't planning to buy and so I didn't need. :A

    HELP!

    Hello ladies - if anyone in the world would know - it would be you guys....last few weeks my hands have become so dry! On the backs of my hands the skin sometimes gets inflamed they are that dry. I apply hand cream all the time and slap extra on at night, but nothing is helping and they are so bad! Any ideas on what I can do to help them, or what products I could buy to help them? Please??
    Desperate!

    Updated plan! I've removed cleanser, exfoliant and oil free moisturiser from this no need to buy list - it's just that I will only buy my HGs for these products at MSE best times to buy. They are my day to day products which I use up so quickly. So I'm now focusing on getting everything else in balance and under control. Like my additction to bronzers and body butters......
    Stuff I'm targeting as a use up in *pink*. Stash on right hand side:

    :eek:No need to buy any of this for 9 months (1st Nov) - so no:

    Moisturiser (rich) - Nivea soft; Clinique x2; Clarins red/firming/multi x2/SPF (Clarins)
    Body butter
    - Palmersx2, Avon, S&G, Clarins, Elemis (HG Champneys)
    Hand cream - S&G, Nivea, Aveeno, Clarins.

    :(No need to buy any of this for 6 months (1st Aug) - so no:
    Foundation - Bourjois; Avon; Tesco; Coll2000; MaxFactor; L'oreal (HG Coll.2000 mineral)
    Face masks - Elemis; Clarins; Mudd. +Jeunessex4 (HG Dermologica) Eye cream - Avon; L'Oreal
    Bath/shower/scrub - Radox, S&G, Nivea. S&G scrub x2.

    :oNo need to buy any of this for 3 months (1st May) - so no:
    Mascara - Rimmel volume flash, Clarins sample Lip gloss - Rimmel, S&G, Superdrug
    Eye make up remover - L’Oreal; Clinique.(HG L’Oreal)

    :money:My Holy Grail (HG) list, used up regularly and bought at the best MSE time::money:
    Clarins Cleansers
    Dermologica exfoliants
    Body Shop seaweed moisturiser SPF
    Clinique spot clearing gel


    Will bin:
    :(Laura Geller Balance & Brighten - wiba no. Doesnt suit me. Binned as too old.
    :(Clinique foundation - wiba mmm maybe. Binned as old and I cannot remember when I bought it. I know I bought another colour afterwards which I've since given away about a year ago.

    Used up
    :oPoured Avon Candy Bath into a pump to use near the kitchen sink - wiba no as now taking showers and this smell was very overpowering.
