The BS have offers on so frequently that it'll come around again!

I said this to a colleague today. The TBS voucher just isn't worth it to me though as the only products I have tried from there and really loved are the shower gels and body butters but I have so many of these (other brands) in my stash that I really can't justify getting this voucher even if I do wait until the stash has gone down to spend it as I'd be spending the money for it now IYSWIM.

I think I'm now having a splurge and buying just for the sake of it. Just wondering has anyone tried any of M&S toliteries, I'm using some Tess Daly stuff and really liking it but just wodering whether there are any recommodations?

Wouldn't mind trying some of these myself if anyone has any recommendations.

Had a :eek: moment today. Came home from work to find Emma (daughter 12 going on 32!) had dumped her swimming kit (been swimming today) in the kitchen. Emptied the bag to wash the kit and found that she had taken along with her my bottle of Ojon conditioner. Was hyperventilating at the thought of my £19.00 a pop (ok I didn't pay that but that's what it's worth) condiitioner out with her. I can understand why I suppose because it's the smallest bottle we have (alternative would be 900ml of Tresomme). Need to find small bottle of hair conditioner for next time she's swimming!

Hello there :wave: another wayward newbie to join in if that's OK?

I know it's late in the month but have slunk in from the grabbit board after purchasing the BS offer and realising I am out of control and cannot say NO!! :cool: (especially after someone broke my resolve-you know who you are!!)

I feel I am in the right place as I have to admit to being a secret lurker since January!:eek: (Been too scared to post ) You are so supportive of everyone's achievements, share in their sorrows and are gently chiding when someone falls of the wagon!! I would love to see the length of the naughty step!:D

So make room on there - I'm a coming and I've got a big b*m!

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!

Hello all, and please add my congrats to Buttercup! Welcome to the world, little man!

I have a UU to report.... after exfoliating every night for a week, I have finally finished the Sanctuary Foaming Scrub! I have almost no skin left on my lower legs, but it's done! WIBA? Not until I've used up the other four loads of Sanctuary scrubs..... b*gger, so near and yet so far!



Bev, unless they can give me a scientific explanation for why your chesticles area is more or less delicate than your face, I'd stick with one of your decent face creams! Our faces get more exposure (except for those first few years after my divorce, when the low-cut tops got a LOT of outings) so something that helps eye-wrinkles should help neck ones....?

Night all, sleep well!

:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:loving it, was howling laughing

Tally - 0

1 for me..... In my defense I dont have any BS in my stash, except for the hemp hand protector and the 50ml coconut body butter I got the other day!

Sawan - Big hugs from me, thats awful, especially as you had been together so long, you know where we are if you want to chat...

Welcome to the newbies - plenty of room over here on the naughty step, i'm keeping it warm for us all :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

UU - Sanctuary body wash so a quid in the pot....

In's - 1 BS voucher, the No. 7 black evening bag & contents, Sanctuary Deep night cream 50ml & Sanctuary exfoliating cream 50ml :embarasse:embarasse:embarasse

And hubby has informed me tonight that he's leaving half an inch in the bottom of everything, cos he said its costing him a fortune when he gets a shower :p if he carries on i'll start charging him for using bog roll too :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

:eek::eek::eek: Is this due to volume or expensive products??

Two UU's in the past few days...

Avon Boho chic deodorant, wiba, no. Didn't like the fragrance and it was one of those Avon deals. However it served a purpose

Glorious mud body scrub, wiba, no. Didn;t like the frgrance, wasn't a deep enough scrup, far too messy and too expensive too.

Plus one in, a Avon sleep therapy balm, I have wanted to try this for a long time but it was never reduced and I begrude paying £3.00 for it. However uit was reduced in the last campaign so I brought it

Sawan, sorry your day has been rubbish. I know what it's like to feel pants at the moment too so we can feel pants together if you like.
