    I'm in for May. Well for the rest of the year and probably next year too if I'm honest.

    Hello all,
    I haven't been around in ages so I have a satisfying number of UUs to report:
    BS strawberry puree mini
    Aveeno body lotion
    Lush lemslip
    Johnsons baby shampoo mini
    Aussie mega conditioner mini
    Wet 'n' wild pressed powder
    GOSH eyeliner
    L'Oreal gentle eye make up remover (gave away as too gentle for my make up)

    Splutterers:
    St Tropez body lotion
    deodorant

    And a few ins, courtesy of duty free and left over foreign currency...
    Chanel eye make up remover
    Chanel hydramax + active fluid

    I've also been sent an email saying that I've won a Bliss Sage and Lemon body butter from The Sunday Times competition that I entered - yay! I love that body butter, so am very chuffed. :) Also got a £10 high street voucher from lovefilm in the post, that works in Boots. Hurrah!

    Firstly, I'm in for May
    =]

    Secondly, I've just recieved all my parcels from the FB group (not to mention the naughty INs from Avon in April) as I wasnt in when the postman tried to deliver them and this is the first chance I've had to go get them =] YAY! I was like a pig in clover when I got in =] Had a massive breakout over the weekend, and got the 3step cleansing thing from Avon, so lets see how that goes =]
    I'll let you know about everything else as I use it all hehe

    And thirdly

    A nazi style interrogation lamp would come in handy too.

    I cannot do my underarms though. Far too scared! :eek::D

    I might get some photos done at the weekend though... :o:D

    Not of my armpits she edits hastily!

    This is what I have a waxer for =] I model for her students so its free (yay) :T:j:T:j:T
    I get my legs, bikini area, armpits, upper lip, nostrils and eyebrows done (some of the facial stuff doesnt need doing, but the models need to practice etc). Come out waddling haha!! :cool:

    xxx

    Edit; Haha, Just realised how this sounds, I dont model for pictures for my waxer LMAO, I mean for waxing =p

    i'm not brave enough to either wax any part or me or let anyone near me. They really haven't done anything in life to deserve to have to see me unclothed in any way.

    Two OUTs in this morning shower - Tresemme Moisture Rich shampoo and conditioner samples. Possibly WBA as it smelt lovely and made my hair feel nice and soft and smooth, but I have far too much shampoo to even consider a new brand right now!

    Also have loads and loads of splutterers - a foundation, toothpaste, a cleanser, straightener spray and a fair few other things that are on the verge of going this month - so I'm hoping May will be pretty successful for culling the stash.

    Oops..........................:o

    Found this on the grabbit board (shush.....it wasn't me who told you guys about it!!!!!!)

    https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/3206174

    and I've just placed an order as I'm loving the superstar shampoo I bought last week. In my defence I was also encouraged by DS2 who as it's sulphate free is dying to try it :D:D:D

    hope the linky works (or then again perhaps not):rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Will count the spend/ins when my parcel arrives:eek:

    Go as far as you can see, and when you get there you'll see further.

    Good Evening!

    A UU: TBS Mango shower gel (60ml) WIBA- I like their shower gels but not particularly keen on the smell of this; i thought it smelt a bit like B.O. (!!!) My OH loves it though... i'm probably just being weird. One more to use up in my gym bag then onto a satsuma from the same range.

    I have no INs yet but have 2 x Groupon vouchers to use up asap before they expire which is pretty soon I think. Keep putting it off because I haven't found any good offfers, unlike online when they have good sales, but have at least resisted their 30% off and B1G1HP sale. :)
