Just fill it out for the people actually in the house today.

Everyone in the country should be included on a census somewhere, so presumably ex husband will be included in the one where he's living now

HTH

That's what I thought. And thank you for answering so quickly

A giveaway to report - Andrew Barton Blonde shampoo WNBA due to it triggering off psoriasis on my scalp. I am truly gutted about this as it made my hair lovely and soft and gave it that just coloured look but after perservering with just over half a bottle my scalp cannot take anymore! I shall be taking it into work tomorrow for a colleague! I had to get an In Neutrogena T-gel to help heal my scalp and I have got a tube of S & G glad hair day out of the stash. My head feels so much better already!

I'm afraid I have some INs to confess...

Rimmel Glam'Eyes Trio eyeshadow in Twilight Zone (smoky eyes)
Rimmel Glam'Eyes Quad eyeshadow in Urban Flower (bright green, brown, terracota/peach and pale pink)
Topshop Nails in Carry On Camping (light green - am thinking I might eBay my Green Room though as this is very similar if a bit paler, and I think I prefer it)
Topshop Nails in Geography Teacher (camel)
Topshop Nails in Airplane (airforce blue)
Topshop Nails in Gypsy Night (black with holo glitter)
Accessorize Illusion Nail Polish in Mermaid (glittery turquoise blue/green)
Revlon Nail Enamel in Emerald City
Maybelline Forever Strong Pro in Orange Couture
MeMeMe Catwalk Nail Collection Long Lasting Gloss in Spirited

I do however also have an OUT - my Rimmel Hide The Blemish concealer has finally given up the ghost after a good couple of weeks digging around in the tube, I couldn't get any more out of it so that's gone. Am thinking about investing in a concealer brush for the next time that happens though - is it worth it?

I have also now officially 'retired' the DKNY Be Delicious until the winter (I have summer, winter and evening perfumes) and am back on the Boss Orange which seems to have kept its smell really nicely despite not having been used for six months!

Lemon Tree, if you have a Lush near you, the very latest Lush catalogue/magazine has good instructions on how to use their henna. It does seem time-consuming, but the photos of results look good.

I think depending on the store they may also do it for you if you want. I had a block of their Caca Rouge henna but didn't have the courage to use it because it gives different results on everyone and I was scared of coming out ginger, so gave it to Give And Make Up, but if my local store had said they'd do it for me I would probably have gone for it.

I thought the same thing, how well do OPI varnishes go on? All mine are Avon ones and I don't know if it's the polish or just my lack of being able to apply varnish properly :rotfl:

I've got a few OPI polishes, and yes they do go on very well and stick for a good length of time.

An IN to report Atrix hand cream, I still had a few hand creams however my hands are really sore and nothing is fixing them...I know this will do the job:)
An OUT S&G scrub your nose in it- I worked out this was what was giving me spots so passed it onto my friend to try with the warning and the message to get rid if it did it to her too.
UU- L'Occitane Cherry Blossom hand cream WIBA yes lovely smell but still have 3 more hand creams to go with the Atrix.

VALM

One UU for me today : a travel sized tube of LE Daily Eye Relief. Will probably buy again as I've been using it for years. I do have a Boots Vitamin E eye cream to use up (I only stopped using it as I took the LE one on holiday with me and thought I'd finish that first). It made that windy noise which means it's getting near the end of it's life span. After that I only have the Glamour Clinique eye cream in my stash.

UU to report:

Aqeous cream - On to the next one.
No 7 P & P toner - I got a 3 quid voucher from Boots so thought I've give it a go. WIBA? Maybe it really brought out the dirt on my face (yuk) without drying my skin out. I'm currently using my stock of rosewater so have to use those up first.

2 (unintentional ins):
Garnier body intensive 7 days : This was inside the evening standard magazine and it would have been wasteful not to take it home :-)
Olay Regenerist super serum: Included with with my superdrug order. Nothing special, don't feel any of this firming skin action which they're claiming (but I'm 26, so not sure whether this cream is for me).

Must say my stash is looking quite bare compared to a year ago.

Hey all, sorry I haven't posted here in a while. I keep forgetting and slipping into my old cosmetic/toiletries buying ways! Anyway, I'd better sign up to see if I can't reduce my stockpile a bit.

Sorry again.
