a suntan, some amber nectar and another shrimp on the barbie at the bare minimum i hope :rotfl:

:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

FWIW I think it's a cracking idea - spend the time between now and Glasto saving and organising and then GO! If it makes it easier don't commit to a time frame and see it as a belated year out? Then see how it goes

Sorry to hear about the job btw but every cloud ........

.......Completely OT, have you seen the Tescos 3 for 2 on pet food/litter etc offer - I filled the boot of my car last night. It's nice to have something new to hoard since I've given up toiletries (grits teeth!)........

You know there's a thread on the pets board to help you when that becomes out of control too :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Had a lovely, but exhausting, day today. No INs, OUTs, or UUs for me :) Did have an NPI - but that was for a coffee table so doesn't count

Have a good wednesday all :cool:

OMG....can't cope, put the code PU4P in the Debs checkout just to see what would happen and the free moisture surge was taken off emptied basket and even closed site and re openned but cannot remove the code will try on thursday and see if gwp is added ,if not will go to town BUT the cost of journey is around £5:(
you should be allowed to remove codes!also when I signed in the beauty club I cannot see how then to get onto main site and keep signed in to ensure I get beauty points!not an easy site to follow at all.hope that code will be taken off by tomorrow as the basket was emptied from earlier without me doing anything.
time I was in bed!

If you clear your cookies the code will go away. If you're on firefox, go to tools, clear recent history, details, select cookies, then choose last day. HTH

Morning all. Another reminder to go for PRCP, I opened a Sanctuary salt scrub sachet which I've had a while and it's a bit dried up. Still just about useable but the lovely smell has gone. Very disappointing but it's a UU.

Also some Ins which are also UU. I got a Tresemme naturals sample pack in Grazia, it wasn't even my magazine, a colleague passed it on to me. I'd buy it, but only when Tresemme have a deal.

Have a great day.

hurrah Debs basket sorted intself:jnow all I need to do is think how to approach this order do I
a/ just buy a 50ml moisture surge £30 and use the code to get £3 off...should still get free delivery as beauty club member
a/buy moisture surge and concealer pen total cost £45 but then get a free moisture surge 15mls(therefore worth £9)
c/see if the goody bag becomes available online tomorrow and if not forget the whole thing and go and buy the 2 items in town to get gwp.
d/ consider ending it all as life too short to worry about such nonsense!
there is also a mention of an elemis freebie on the site but this did not appear in my basket! life used to be so much simpler!

:cool:

I think I may need that thread..I haven't found the pet board very intersting so far but maybe I'll take another look...my spare room now looks like a pet shop!

Rosemary - glad your basket sorted itself out!

Adding my quote of wisdom
'Procrastination in the thief of time' - especially when ordering from the sales :rotfl:

My toiletries habit has now infected some of my work colleagues - one came back from the BS with a bag of goodies yesterday (darn, could have leant her my loyalty card) the other one has now brought in nice handcream and body spray from home...! Wey hey. :T

Then I cracked open a BS brazil nut body butter (PRCP in action... previously I would have dutifully started on a less interesting product )... OMG. I am hooked!!!! I lurve it! Think this may be my HG body butter. I so can't wait for the next sale to start, really hope they have some left!!! I have a couple more in my stash but since this range is being discontinued (boo hoo) I think I'm justified in stocking up...

I love, Love, LOVE this body butter, it smells so delicious!!!!! I haven't had one since I started this last February :eek: as been using up other ones and then had discontinued it! But I might give in and order a couple of tubs...not sure yet though, if they are still there at the end of the month I will go ahead and do it. I can't believe I haven't bought one of those in that time, a year! It's really hit it home to me how much this challenge has affected me, I wouldn't have thought of anything being wrong to buy tonnes more whilst I still had over a years worth of items in the stash (yup still got a fair few moisturisers/and 3 BB to go!). Quite scary looking at it that way!!

Thanks for the lovely quotes there sarah*a! You have all helped me clear my mind and I am going to take all of your advice and go! Looking at between July-August time so still have plenty of time to use up the stash as I can't take it with me (well not all of it ). If the worst comes to the worst and I hate it over there, it's only going to take just over a day to get home, I could leave one morning and be at home the following afternoon (give or take time difference!). I have an interview on Friday for a job that if I get will tie me over until I go so fingers crossed for that

I've just listed a couple of items on eBay, well I am not overly keen on them and won't get to use them up! And any help to my fund will be gratefully received :rotfl: I looked and the cost of a visa is c.£150 so hopeing to get that from selling any clutter on eBay so any money I save will be for the holiday/trip itself IYSWIM. So that's S&G Breakfast Scrub (love the smell but gets a bit sickly after a while), Glad Hair Day shampoo, Girligo spray, Ted Baker bodywear gentle body scrub, and an Urban Retreat base/foundation and blusher. I also threw out 2 mascaras today - Maybelline the Collosall mascara - I love them but they are waterproof, and by waterproof I mean they take at LEAST 3 days to come off properly, scrubbing at them and never find anything good to take them off with - although the S&G wipes seem to be the best surprisingly!


Have a good day ladies xx

@rosemary54 I :heart2: how you get the most amazing value with the GWP's, very MSE. I remember you said ages ago that you do loads of surveys. Any tips for this? I updated my list of survey sites last night but I make hardly nothing compared with you. Do you spend loads on time on it?
