    Wow ACCA girl, that's got to be the best stash list yet, must take up some room though.

    Ohhh it does, although I'm a bit of a neat freak so they are very neatly packed away in stackable storage boxes! And labelled!

    Happy birthday Vivh :) I hope you have a lovely evening :)

    ACCA girl, love the list. I wasn't brave enough to list mine after I counted 76 nail varnishes :s

    UU just now: Lush Candy Cane bubble bar. WIBA: Yes. Smells delicious. But it was a Christmas special.

    Ahh, Sawan, you should post your stash list - you can't be any worse than me, I'm sure of it! :o

    Hi and welcome to buffy1981, and to ACCA GIRL - love the list some wonderful products - don't worry the list will go down - and if I feel tempted to buy I go and dig my list out (I printed it off) and somehow seeing it written down is more of a deterrent than seeing the actual lotions and potions in my drawers!

    Have done my pampering tonight!

    Used:

    L’occitane Shea Vanilla Bath and Shower Gel - UU in the bath
    L'occitane Vanilla Shea Butter Body Cream - UU
    L'occitane Ylang Ylang Shea Butter Body Cream - as a foot cream
    MOP C-System Shampoo
    MOP C-System Conditioner
    MOP C-System Reconstructing Treatment - UU
    MOP Lemongrass Lift

    MOP C-System Spray Pomade
    L'occitane ultra rich face soap
    A’Kin Lavender Cellular Brightening Facial Mist - spluttering
    Decleor Aromessence Neroli Night Balm Body Shop Vitamin E Eye Cream
    Gatineau Defi-Lift Eye Contour Cream
    Liz Earle Superbalm
    Liz Earle Intensive Nourishing Treatment Mask
    Liz Earle Gentle Face Exfoliator - as a body scrub - UU
    Liz Earle Energising Hip and Thigh Gel

    Feel lovely now - pity I can't have one of vivh's choccie's :D

    Have a good evening everyone.:)

    ACCA - fantastic stash..... mines only small in comparison :D

    I've had my pamper too:

    Bubble bath - Sanctuary Mande Lular bubbles (dont like, but must use up!)
    Shaved arms and legs
    Botanics Face Scrub
    Sanctuary Salt Scrub
    Sanctuary Body Butter
    Botanics Moisturising Eye Cream
    Botanics Night Cream (just realised this is for mature skin :eek::eek:)
    Nail Envy on my nails

    Then will use Sanctuary hand cream before bed, along with Ghost body lotion for my feet, the smell is too overpowering as a body lotion so.... :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Oh and i've listed some bits on ebay, so feeling much better now - lets hope the weather is nice tomorrow and its a walk down by the canal...

    Feeding time (again!) have a lovely evening all....

  • Amaaaazing stash, ACCA!!! You're going to really enjoy using that up! :j

    Happy birthday, vivh, sounds like you've had a lovely day!

    I have some OUTs, due to giving them away:
    Neutrogena hand cream
    2 x Eucerin lotion minis
    1 x man's cologne freebie(?!)
    purple GOSH eyeliner
    Natural collection cranberry lipgloss
    Mini bourjois eyeshadow
    2 x Olay samples

    These are all things that I would never have used. I tried the purple eyeliner today and it made me look very tired, so not a fan. Going to try a navy Neal's yard eyeliner tomorrow, then a Prestige bronze eyeshadow the day after, to see if I keep or get rid of them.

    Still no UUs, but some splutterers: S&G handcream, No7 eye make up remover, toothpaste, shampoo and conditioner. Hopefully I'll have a bumper round of UUs in the next few days.

    Hope everyone has a good evening. x

    Off for my pamper night soon, seeing as I was too tired last night. That way I'll be all fresh and beautiful for my birthday tomorrow. :D Meeting a friend for an early lunch, so will be leaving soon after dropping my son off at school.

    Not expecting any toiletries INs though - but somebody had better have bought me a :bdaycake:!!!

    evening guys

    thanks for the pampering last night, my first one in years (even though it was only a bit of body butter and a face mask)

    ACCA girl :eek::eek::eek: amazing stash, i am impressed girl, now i don't feel quite so bad about my 99+ fragrances, can i ask....are you an accountant by any chance??


    JULIE BUNNY and BARGAIN BETTY am loving those stories, had me rolling around:rotfl:.

    I usually kneel on the floor when doing a smear because the couch is up against the wall and we don't use stirrups, i can never be bothered to pump the bed up so if that had happened to me the speculum would have hit me between the eyes!! My most hilarious moment was when someone trumped while i was doing her smear!!! OMG and today I had a young man in his teens worried about his lumpy penis, thank god i asked the nurse to chaperone me for the examination -he had an erection while i examined him. I don't know who blushed more -me , the nurse or him. Plus there was nothing wrong with his darned wi**y.:rotfl:

    buffy1981 welcome, i too am a newbie a victim of the lloyds/boots sales (although i eventually resisted the groupon), you are in good hands on this thread.

    VALM cheeky;) i always smell divine!! Now I smell MORE divine, I am so glad i didn't discover this stuff years ago, i'd have gone bankrupt!

    ps. will clingfilm do instead of cotton socks, i'm not supposed to be spending more money right? But you guys make the S&G genius heel balm sound so tempting- i don't actually owna heel balm or a foot cream, will a normal body butter do the same job?

    kaz2904 great advice as always,

    -yes I totally agree and it is exactly what i would tell my patients too, haven't had a chance to look at the link yet, will a quick look in a bit. I do find it hard to "act" nice to people I am cross or upst with, so yes I have to let go internally and not let their behaviour bother me (talking about me OH mainly, he's a lazy so and so and refuses to get a job nr us leaving me to look after the kids in the week then he spends all wkd watching tv and on the computer usually at the same time and yet the kids STILL adore him :mad:) I am quite religious and have been trying to develop my faith, it has helped me accept that things happen for a reason and i see him and his behaviour as a test. Problem is when I am cross with him I take it out on the kids and they think he is even more wonderful and I am even more of a hitler (and we have a vicious circle).

    -yes i intend to declutter.....one day! hopefully if i start on the toiletries i can move it on to other areas of my life. I am well known for being a hoarder and clutterer, my parents despair of me!

    Wow Acca - that has to get some sort of prize.... !! :)

    thanks for all the wishes for the foals everyone - just got to hope for a safe pinching out tomorrow and I will be a very happy bunny !!

    welcome newbies - and happy birthday V - lovely presents !!!

    budge up on the naughty step - I had to take the dog to the vets tonight cos she had an allergic reaction to something (god knows what!!) and on the way home I thought it could be the new food - so i went to lidl to get rice and chicken to put her on that for a bit to see if it helps.... and accidentally bought two G mags (though I put two back!!) containing the eye cream and the lip gloss.... I dont have an eye cream,and I wanted to try this one - but I defiantely didnt need the lip gloss....

    LOL @ the boy :rotfl:and the thought of you being decked between the eyes!! ......and the fart - OMG :eek:


    clingfilm sounds well weird!!! any socks will do if you dont have cotton ones.

    and you're right - theyve made the S&G genius heel balm sound amazing - so much so that I had to look it up on ebay! :o I havent placed any bids yet though :D


    Oooh its nearly 10pm and dog's still staring!!!!

    Thanks Bev! You're absolutely right about the list. I knew that I had a lot of products but seeing everything written down made me realise just how out of control my spending has been. I found things I'd forgotten that I had bought! By the time I get round to using them I think I'll find half of them have gone off too! :mad:
