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.

Oh I dread to think how much I've spent on my stash over the years - part of me is very tempted to do a rough estimate but I know I'd be absolutely appalled at the number that came up!

No UUs today, but Body Shop hand cream still spluttering so am going to nip into Boots on my way home to pick up some Hand Food and a few other bits I need. If S&G is on 3 for 2 (I know, bad Minerva!) and the big Hand Food is in the deal I may get in my 'back up' scrub for when my Flake Away runs out - as I've mentioned previously my stashing is partly due to hating running out of something, so my way round that is to only buy the next product of a certain type when I'm down to the last one of that type of product - and then get something else to chuck in with my sister's birthday present, not sure what yet though but maybe another Hand Food.

ETA: Just done a rough estimate (not including gifts) on my current stash and it came up as £217.50 :eek: God only knows how much I spent before that!

Multiple UU's but they are all small. My cleaner re-organised the bathroom and unearthed an M&S Lavender Hand and Nail Cream from somewhere. It's a small bathroom, goodness knows where it was. The cream smelled lavendery still and looked ok, despite being somewhere around 5 years old so I used it up as a body cream. I very much doubt whether M&S do it in the same formulation now, and I didn't use it for its stated purpose, so can't really do a WIBA.

Samples of Head and Shoulders No Itch Shampoo and Conditioner. WIBA? It's pleasant enough to use and if I had an itchy scalp I might return to it, But not otherwise.
Sample of Sanex Moisturising Shower Gel. 8ml. Only just enough to use on a body puff - but it was just enough. WIBA? Yes, if it was on offer. My skin did feel moisturised by it, hope it's still around when I need shower gel in 2012!

I have resisted the Body Shop Groupon Deal. :A:ABF said he is VERY proud of me :A.

Used my new mantra to help me...I have a years supply already so don't need this bargain however good it is.....just got to keep my strength up until midnight or the offer runs out....had a quick peek at Lloyds Pharma website...jeez they must be desperate to get rid of their stock to put it on that offer....don't anyone bother looking, from what I can gather, it's crashing or OOS, probably from you lot up at midnight ordering :rotfl:

I can't stand our local Lloyds they are useless and I am boycotting them. They gave my prescription to someone else and then lied to me about it and were really rude - I made 3 special trips there in the end to get my prescription. I had a row with the manager (who looked about 12) and then complained to HO. :eek::mad:

Afternoon Ladies hope you are all well, i have a uu the Aldi shampoo had gone wnba it was ok but there is better out there. i have a question about b**ts point's and thought as some of you shop in b**ts it would be easier to ask in here. a couple of weeks ago i went shopping in b**ts with my dad so he could buy my mums valentines present here is what we brought

first transaction

Coco Chanel no5 £85.79

Dune £36.26

concealer (for me) £1.99

total £124.04

so point's wise i got 396
but i worked it out to be 496
plus i had 150 points extra if i spent over £25
so total points should be 646
but i only got 546

ok are you still with me (i hope so)

second transaction i brought

Electric toothbrush £14.99

pack toothbrush heads £15.31

so total £30.30

so points wise i should of got 120

i only got 20

plus i had another 150 extra for over £25 spend

so if i have worked it out right i am 200 points down please correct me if i am wrong, so what do i do about the missing points do i go into b**ts and explain or do i call the helpline i have no idea what the phone number is. sorry about the ramble but thought it would be easier to ask on here as you are nice and friendly and i wont get my head bit of for asking (i hope).

i have a few pages to catch up on now so see you all later.

On their website, there is a contact email address, I would just email them the details and I'm sure they will compensate you, they've always been great to deal with when I've had problems before.

One more IN, a bs voucher, would it be really bad if I bought another? :rotfl:

I know exactly what you mean. Does anyone have any tips for dealing with this - we need a patch like the one to quit smoking....

Night all xo

Unusual for me! Hope you get your vouchers accepted - how rude!

"No buying toiletries in March......and I really do mean it this time.......Challenge!"

I definitely agree :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
