Well I have not bought anything for ages but that is because I had a c section 10 days ago and still finding it hard to walk...so not by choice!!! Annoying I have a money off voucher for BS to use by friday

Just a note about the teenagers thing, i used to work evenings in a betting shop in a little parade of shops and we used to get a gang of kids outside (about 9-mid 20's) there were loads of them and one night there was about 25 of them, there was just myself and another girl working and they were opening the door and throwing things inside, one was a firework, they were all drinking and shouting. We phoned the police and put our shutters down so no customers could come in either, the police didn't arrive before we left and we had to open the shutters and go out the front door and they were throwing open but full cans of beer at us. All this was for no reason, we hadn't done anything to them and in no way antagonised them, we tried to ignore it thinking they would go away. After that a male member of staff had to be on duty in the evenings too, it was scary enough waiting to get robbed without all that too. This wasn't even in a rough area. I left after that.

I know we can't tar them all with the same brush but you can see why they get a bad name.

Hi Tara, hope you had a nice holiday. I woke up thinking, Ooh, I forgot to say hello to Tara, how rude of me!
I'll try to get pics up after it's done. Managed to get the back wall painted white today (3 coats- gah!) and as I had the roller all white and the tray full of paint and a white brush, I went and painted the downstairs loo while I was waiting for the wall to dry off enough for me to do yet ANOTHER coat. So I spent a good 4 hours doing that. It will need further cutting in tomorrow if it's dry enough (don't think it will be actually as I've pulled the dehumidifier into the dining room for tonight.
Tomorrow I also need to get the first coat of colour onto the dining room walls (3 of) and all the cutting in done. DH will try to paint the coving when he gets home. No way am I painting coving after the walls are done, I'll wreck the walls. Hopefully we'll be at wallpapering stage by Friday night. IF we are, we'll get the kids sorted and into bed and just chuck it up. We're very quick at wallpapering.
I meant how much was the actual rollerball jobby sorry .

EH (or anyone else who knows...) a friend at work says she uses the Avon room fragrance as a reed diffuser. I managed to pick up some reeds the other day and wondered if you could give me a link to the fragrances?
Anyone else who knows, can you get the top off a spray atomiser perfume thingy with pliers? I have that rose thing from M&S. Not my fragrance really but would be fine as a room scent. The bottle would be good too if I can get the labels off as it's little and square and quite funky in an unobtrusive way.
Worked out that we've made almost enough from our ebay sales to pay for the dining room decoration, my new bedding which DH hates and I love http://www.matalan.co.uk/pws/ProductDetails.ice?ProductID=31364&redirect=true , the 4 new pillowcases and the 8 new pillows. We'll be about £25 short. Will total it all up when the sales are through and everything's been posted.
Had a lovely pampering bath this evening. Scrubbed so much I tingled, moisturised and was going to PYNM. Only I'm sick of painting so I didn't :rotfl:.

Right. Sorry for the epic, mainly off topic, post. I shall tootle off and catch up .

Aw, bless you. :A I haven't actually been on hols yet, that's next week!

Your bedding and wallpaper are absolutely gorgeous!!! :T

Hi newbies. Join up, you'll love it here. Just stay away from Tara, she's a bad influence . I'm an :A and never buy anything (Don't tell them, you lot! I can hear you all sniggering from the naughty step/ escalator!).

Oh Rosemary, you didn't get the Olay because I emailed them and told them you had too much stuff :rotfl:. *Kidding*. Maybe it's on it's way?

It's in the same type of packaging as the Benefit one (Girl meets pearl etc)

and the following blusher/bronzer is good for the price - when I fly to ireland (and take advantage of the hand luggage only !) I always stop off in Penney's/Primark to get some of this, and its often reduced to 50cent!

I've never seen these before in my life! Are they available in the UK as well?

Yep I've got them over here, in NI and ROI before, I think they are priced at about £2/E2 per item and haven't gone far wrong (well, what ones that I've tried) x

And Kaz I agree, your bits and pieces are gorgeous for the house!!x

Well, thank you all for the really warm welcome. I'm at a bit of a loss as to how to get started though tbh!

I did have a UU (is that right?) yesterday; a Lush Honey Bee Ballistic (and crumbled a little bit of bubble bar into it) and it was lovely. WIBA - I think so. But only once I've compared it to the rest of my 'stock'!

I also did the decent thing, and gave my two remaining skinnies to my sister to either use herself, or give to someone where she works, as they have a Boots round the corner.

Hope I've got the right jist of things! I wanted to ask that when you have savings in your sig, have you worked out what it would have cost if you had bought something? Or is it something else? I find that part fairly confusing

And a few names are very familiar Fear not, your secrets are safe with me, I will name no names... :A

hiya Sawan, and all other newvies, I'm slacking on the welcome s:hello::hello::hello:
For the sig, I just put £2 an item into my jar, but others will put in the price they paid, the price it should have been (if it was glitched) etc - it all depends on how much you have to spare/how much you want to save xx

I usually put in either what it cost to buy, or (if I can't remember) the current RRP. If it's a sample/travel size, I put in £1. Some peeps put in £1 or £2 per item. It's up to you really.
