    Hi Sawan :wave:

    Congrats on the baby boy Buttercup!

    Hope you feel better soon Lily!

    Thanks for the pictures Roshy! Love the packaging (I think that what might attract me to Benefit in the first place!) also thanks to you and everyone else for the recommendations! I can see what I'll be spending my voucher on! :D

    Thanks fo r adopting me Jacks :jI hope Superdrug sort their staff out! I've not had a problem in there before, although I very rarely go in - much more of a Boots girl :D and the staff in Boots are lovely...even the scary make up counter ladies! Only got followed once - in Etam (just rude!) - I did look pretty skanky ho that day though! Can't think of any !!! I need kicking at the mo! I'm quite lucky really I guess! But you will be the first to know! :rotfl:;):D

    Tara...when you said not to look at the grabbit board, I obviously had to take a look...what a fab offer! I need a pressie for my cousin's 40th too :A obviously I won't buy anything for myself :D

    Got 3 days off work now, so will pack up some stuff to send to Give and MAkeup, got emailed the postage label today, so will be able to get that sorted in the next couple of days.

    I THINK I've remembered everything I was going to say, so will catch up on the rest of the thread now! You lot can talk! :rotfl:

    Oh, btw the way - a UU! Some icky coconut and shea shower gel stuff - I love coconut stuff but this just smelt a bit 'odd'
    I want a perfect body, I want a perfect soul, I want you to notice when I'm not around[/SIZE][/FONT][/B]

    Forgot to say hello seswan (? have I got the right name or just made one up?) and congratulations Buttercup. You and SJP can keep me company in the wee small hours when I'm posting on my break from work!
    No UU's and no temptation to buy. Kids thought they'd used up the toothpaste but I squeezed more out. Maybe tomorrow? I still have 3 tubes left though!

    Hi everyone :wave:
    Re the Primark range - I quite like them. I've got some (ahem) of their toiletries and found them good value, of course I did only buy them when they were reduced to 50p or less! :D
    I've got facial scrub, tea tree face wash, bronzer, body butter, mascara, all have been very good and I like the packaging as well!
    Life is a coin, you can spend it anyway you wish, but you can only spend it once.
    Go as far as you can see, and when you get there you'll see further.
    Take time but don't waste time
  • Two UUs to report. S&G Clean on Me WIBA yes, one more bottle in stash and just relaised Ive over £100 of Lush shower gels still to go, it then dawned on me I've well over £1000 of toieltries and make up:eek: and Im sure some of you have much more than I do.
    Mama Mio boob tube- WIBA maybe, it smells so nice, lasted ages for its size, didnt notice a lot of difference but my skin was definately smoother.

    Just requested a label and am sorting out a few things for the shoe box. Its nice to be able to do something nice with all the bits I have. oooh and chucked out a load of gloopy nail varnish this morning so my make up drawers are slowly getting tidier too.
    Debt free and busy treating myself:)

    No more toiletries/make up until I've used what I've got stashed since Jan 2011, graduated October 2012. Restocked Dec 13..damn those sales

    Congratulations on your little boy, hope you're enjoying him??



    :D:D:D I'm on the night feed tonight, so will be looking out for this :rotfl::rotfl:

    I've been good today :A John Frieda still out of stock online, so not bought anymore to stash. Couldn't be bothered to get bubs ready to go to town, so thrown my skinnie.....

    Got a splutterer - Sanctuary Body Wash - WIBA - not at the minute as i've a few in my stash, still like it though :p

    Tara - Carita - have a decollatage cream, retails at £75 :eek::eek::eek: and i've seen one on ebay starting at 99p but never heard of it... I've added it to my watch list to see what it goes for....

    Talking of decollatage (again!!) all the creams i've seen are pretty expensive..... :cool:

    Kaz - love the wallpaper.....

    I am scared of lines on my decollete and always try to sleep on my back, but it's not easy. blush.gif I always fall for the hype as well (about everything!!!).

    Ooops, the Caritas I was talking about is a charity!!!! :rotfl:

    I have been having a sort out this evening, am going to bin some OOD/half-used toiletries tomorrow. Tried to make a start on counting/inventorying my stash but it was too scary, so I have given up for now!!!

    Also meant to say I've got a couple of INs but not too bad :p lol
    Thought I'd check out the Boots Cucumber wipes glitch but went to Tesco on my way into town, they have on offer the sensitive wipes at 21p just now :j so bought 6 packs there, so £1.26 as opposed to £3.79!
    Had a skinny to use up inBoots, but didn't! :rotfl:Didn't get any deordorant ACM offers, so wasn't temnpted to browse, just left Boots after checking the ACM.
    Went to BS to get my £5 birthday gift, got the 30ml hemp cream which is great as I'm often outdoors working and really helps my hands.:)
    Looked at someone elses post (sorry I can't remember who) about getting the 4 BS hemp hand creams for £13.20, I added them to my basket but then closed the page quickly! :T My reckoning is that I've got a couple stored away from previous offers (eg in the Christmas sale I got the Hemp heroes set for £7 plus cashback!! :rotfl:so really don't need any just now lol)
    The BS have offers on so frequently that it'll come around again!

    A UU! HURRAH!

    Avon lavender clay foot mask thing- wiba- no, i've realised through this challenge that all foot things are redundant if you have a pumice stone ;). Also- a mask for feet, really?
