    Few last UU for March -

    M&S Noire perfume - bought without testing it was not good! Still, it's gone now!
    Auusie heat protection 3 minute hair treatment sachet - nt sure what difference it's made as m hair seems to be a frizzy mess at the moment
    Sainsburys wild berry shave gel - would buy again - cheap, does the job, smells nice and comes in a lovely pink can!
    garnier mineral deodrant - would buy again if on offer

  • Just a quick UU before I move to the April thread: Elle Macpherson Ultimate Moisture Body Butter. WBA as I felt it was very moisturising and really liked the smell.

    no more UU's for me this month but i'm really pleased with myself.
    to summarise
    Ins - None, nada, nowt :j:j:j

    Outs - 17 items

    I've added things to my list as i keep finding things in various draws, bags etc.
    I'm not sure i'll ever finalise my list, but at least one thing rediscovered is one less to find on another day.

    Off to the April thread now.

    Hello lovelies, :wave:

    I'm horribly behind on posts but I just wanted to do an end of the month summary.

    At Christmas I predicted that during the first quarter of this year I would need to buy the following:

    Mir Cleansing Gel
    Mir Exfoliating Cleansing Gel
    Dermalogica Clean Start Bed time for Breakouts
    Nude Cleansing Facial Oil or similar balm / oil cleanser
    Deep conditioning treatment (pref elasticizer)
    Mir Argan Oil

    What I actually bought was:


    Mir Cleansing Gel
    Mally Tips and Tricks Collection (but I will eBay some of this.)

    I'm feeling Ok about it. Not fabulous, but Ok.


    I hope everyone else is doing well. :beer:

    I didn't actually comment on her financial status and land

    but sorry if i offended anyone, that was just how I saw it.
    I think we should all agree to disagree, obviously there is polarised opinions on the topic and this board has been so friendly and welcoming :)

    I'll just sneak this onto the end of the March thread...it was ME who commented on her land, I hold my hand up. I'm from the country, oooh ahh, although not from farm stock.

    My friend has been looking for years for a small parcel of land with a very modest dwelling (even a mobile home) to set up her animal rescue shelter - there is nothing available for less than half a million! Hence my comment.

    But we're all friends here, right, and respect each others views and enjoy swapping opinions and educating each other about misconceptions. :)

    er, just to be on topic....got an E45 which would splutter if it could...going to try and find a cheaper copy further to someone elses comment on here about it...?

    Right, off to the April thread, if I haven't been locked out for starting this controversy....!! I bet it's already 5 flipping pages long!
    Less stuff, more life, love, laughter and cats!
    Even if I'm on the shopping threads, it doesn't mean I'm buying! Sometimes it's good to just look and then hit the CLOSE button!
