AND walked away from the No. 7 counter empty handed - had been reccy-ing the No. 7 hair spritz. It's an extra 50p in my work store so gonna get it nearer to home with my voucher...a minor offence when it occurs. I don't have a problem with hair products, my hair is thick and frizzy. Buying products are a chore. Mustn't moan though, had a friend who suffered hair loss....

Boyf got stuck at work last night so no pancakes for me. Had a big bath and scrub up instead

I didnt find that No7 spritz hair stuff any good - even for 50p.

Now she's gone out and I have no idea which orders it is, there were 3 orders awaited sounds as if all come together

Just cleared out a space in my wardrobe , gulp .... size of a shoe box .....gulp gulp......?no idea what I am going to do

Serves me right really! God punishes in lots of different ways....

Celebrate - have you given us a list of your stash? How about your perfume stash? I found that when I reported last year that I had SO many of whatever, that it really resonated with me. This isnt all about stick (and no carrot), its about see how much stuff we have. And as my dear bestest friend said as she lay dying (so young) ...you know material things don't matter (sniff). :A

This is one of my all time favourites that I repurchase time and time again. My bottle has got to the point where the pump won't work because there isn't enough to pump up it IYSWIM. Don't want to finish it though cos I love it so much. Have some Eternal Grace and Pure Grace in the stash though so won't repurchase for a while.



What does the BS toner feel like when you apply it? The Nivea one that I tried, as well as feeling astringent, didn't absorb into my skin.

Oooh dear, what have I started with the Lemon Aid?



See I don't think this earns you a place on the naughty step because a) you didnt have any in the stash to begin with and b) you paid with points. Just don't buy any more until you have used them all.

I don't think the BS one feel astringent, and I though it absorbed okay - maybe ask in BS and see if they will give you a little sample to try? The Sanctuary one is very slightly thicker than either the BS one or the LE one and felt nice to apply. I also noticed in Boots the other day, a glyciriene (sp) and rosewater one for about £2 and reckon that might have a nice texture too. Maybe try Lush too? They may have a decent, natural type one?

NO ! Too scared to post my stash!

Hi I had a massive box for the fragrances and now squeezed them into 2 smaller boxes don't seem so bad now, I know I know my sis is going to tell me off big time when she gets home(SHE is my neighbour!)
I have to keep reminding myself it's not going to go to my grave with me but my good deeds will. I give a lot in charity every year so what I probably will do is have some sort of sale and give the proceeds in charity , more fun than just writing a cheque every year

Yeah Im hopeless when it comes to things like that, thankfully OH cried too even if it was just a little so it didnt make me feel so silly - we've had her for 2 years so we became somewhat attached to her.
I honestly don't think I stopped crying for the whole day, that morning we knew she wasn't going to make it by the evening she'd pretty much gone but was still breathing, was horrible to watch but we had her on the sofa with us for the last hour or so....think she's running around in the big wheel in the sky now

The exam was one of my finals for uni - thankfully it was an in class one which was a lot less formal and it was open book which meant I at least had notes - got through it, had to analyse a newspaper article, think I did as well as I could though so fingers crossed - aiming for a good B grade....

But how will you know (a) truly how much stuff you have and (b) whether you're turning a corner? You can do it. :A Everyone on here is really supportive. We have had some really revealing and lengthy stash lists on here in just the last few days.
I cannot remember which month it was but someone in the past totted up how much they had spent on unplanned purchases - so basically stuff they didnt need. And it amounted to about a £1,000 so a lovely holiday, spa weekend, new sofa.

I loved my little hamster, Biscuit, one of the best photos of me is one taken holding her a few weeks before she died.
I probably won't own another hamster ever, but I would love another guinea pig - or pigs. Both of mine were fantastic little characters, one was incredibly intelligent, who died of old age. Pets do tear at your heart strings but they also give so much.
