nope, ok there is possibly one job left no-one has mentioned ....
Well, all that was left was GP or GUM nurse wasn't it!Unfortunately since moving away from my family I don't have any friends around here and the friends I do have are too far away.
I think you have it the right way, I always wondered whether our marriage might have had a better chance if we'd continued to live apart after we'd gotton married.

Now I think lynseydee that you deserve to be our - heroine of the week - you're showing fighting talk and its impressive stuff. So you should have a thinkie overnight - and tell us all tomorrow evening what pampering we should do - an online pajama party! I love the thought of writing on here tomorrow with a face mask and hair mask on!

So, the challenge begins! Tonight I'll be putting together a box of stuff I really am never going to use, to either donate to friends or good causes. For example, I have several hairsprays, and I never use hairspray. I have a ridiculous amount of makeup for someone who literally uses the same 7 items every day with a couple of sparkly glam ones for nights out - how do I have sooooo many lip glosses for someone who rarely wears any!!!!
I'll start listing my outs tomorrow!
Really starting to feel like one of the gang now. Even already been initiated to the naughty step

Thank you Flirtini! I feel so much better about my List of Shame! You have some lovely lovely products!
Will try and get the rest of mine typed up tomorrow night depending on when I get back from the airport. I keep remembering stash hiding places but I think I'm through the worst. I thought this would only take about an hour or two at the weekend - hah!

Oh Celebrate - I felt I had nothing to add to what everyone else has said to help - I'm so glad I could make you feel better in my own dysfunctional way!!! It's so good to know there's other hoarders like us out there, and I already feel like I have a support system in place to help me from going way OTT on the buying in future!
And of course a valuable resource of information on the best products for those absolutely essential buys when I do get to the point of running out! (er... when will that be?!) :rotfl:0 -
Welcome newbies - BIG dodgy hug for everyone who needs them - and Lyndsaydee - triple dodgy hugs for you petal - stay strong and clear headed - and rant to us as much as you need to, we are all here for you. You're not all that far away from me either - so if you wanted a face to face rant at a willing ear, then message me and I'll try to help x
thanks for the lovely comments about my friends foal - when Im still here next year - there will hopefully be pics of mine !!
still no G mag for me (other than my subscription one that I talked about pages and pages ago) but im starting to crack.... oh - and girlies, remember the last time the cowshed stuff was a freebee with the mags ??? I dont think I remember reading anything from any of you who thought it was any good....
xxxxDo not meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup0 -
Welcome to all newbies
Totally huge hugs to everyone who's not feeling great, or is going through a bad patch. Hugs to lynsey and celebrate.
I've been keeping track of the board but been down all weekend, would have been 5th year anniversary of meeting my OHAlso had horrific period pains which made me more miserable
Didn't even go to work today, just relaxing with a hot water bottle and lots of tea and catching up with recordings. Watching The Mentalist at the moment.
Loved the stash lists & photos, especially the foal. Painted my nails Nails Inc Belgravia. Nice shade, will definitely use again.No buying unnecessary toiletries/makeup in May: Unnecessary spend £17.60
