    well I was naughty and couldnt resist LUSH.

    I Had a 10% off voucher from a gift set (from ages ago) to use anyway! (good excuse)

    Ended up getting a free face mask as I had 5 black pots to take back....got the sacred truth as I hadnt tried this one before. Some of the other face masks smell a bit yukky but this one smells nice. I will try it a few times before I decide if it is my favourite!

    Got some 13 soap and a blue clouds bubble bar...I do love the bubble bars more than the ballistics.

    so thats 3 "in's" and we are only just into July. After this little lapse I am determined to be more disciplined this month.

    Had 2 UUps-a LUSH Dorothy bubble bar (which I love) which was from ages ago and needed used up, also some lavender radox bubble bath which I use to try and get my DD to sleep (worth a try!!)

    Im going all out to reduce my stash this month and resist buying any so called bargains.

    :wave:Loving the stash Bev97! :heartpuls

    I am struggling with my desperate need for the new Bobbi Brown tortoiseshell palette.

    I don't need it. I have eyeshadows.

    (many many eyeshadows.)

    But it's so pretty! :o

    A sneaky little voice in my head keeps saying "But you promised yourself a treat when you hist your weight loss target and you very nearly have..." £48 is a big bliddy treat though huh? :eek: Originally I was probably thinking more in line of a trashy magazine and sitting on my bum for an hour in teh garden when I should be doing my chores!

    Have a great day all! :hello:

  • 1 UU. St Ives Invigorating Apricot Facial Scrub. I was alternating between this and my Biore facial scrub. Now I'm just down to the last few drops of the Biore facial scrub.

    WIBA? I already have another tube waiting in the cupboard to be used up. I'm still not sure whether I'd buy it again. Will wait until I've used the other tube first before I make a decision. :D

    2 IN's :$ A small bottle of Almond Oil to see it would help with my nails to make them a bit stronger. I'm sure dh will get some use out of it as well. I also purchased some Dove face cream that caught my eye. I'll probably end up using it a few times and then if I don't like it, give it to dh as he'll use any face cream, lol.

    Loving all the stash lists - I may start doing an detailed list too now mine is manageable :D

    urgh! Feel like utter carp this morning - had to rebook my dr's appt as there was no way I was going to make it :o

    I got a message from my SIL last night - apparently my nephew announced that he doesn't like me anymore because I 'got on the big train and left' him :p Cried for hours bless him. It's nice to be wanted :D

    Some IN's:
    FB Swapsies:
    Love Tink Perfume & Body Spray - OK this is really a kids perfume but it's lovely and light and I like so there :p
    BS Spiced Vanilla Showergel :happyhear - now I really don't need anymore showergel this year :o

    S&G Righteous Butter - left by DD so claimed by me :rotfl:

    The FB group has been quite quiet lately and we have some new members so don't forget to post your lists ladies :D

    My minds wandering because I'm tired so will say toodles for now :cool:
  • OMG, I dreamed about toiletries last night! :eek: In my dream there was a new range of toiletries out that were Christmas themed, mainly bubble bath, and packaged like the Pink Cow or N-Spa ranges. One was coconut with a picture of Santa on his sleigh flying through a snowy landscape (I remember thinking coconut was an odd choice for a Christmas bubble bath!). I was dying to get to the shops because I just had to have this new range :rotfl:

    Jacks- I think reaching your weight loss target deserves more than a magazine and lazy hour in the garden.......:D

    As for nail varnishes, I've liked Nails Inc for a while and have, ahem, a number of bottles. I took one on holiday, along with an M&S one. And would you believe, the M&S one lasted 6 days, the Nails Inc chipped after 2 despite a top coat. Same thing now, I painted my nails Friday evening and nearly all of them are chipped. I think a lot of M&S' toiletries are underrated. Plus they're approved by BUAV, which is a nice bonus.

    Hope you're all having a good day !

    Basically I just sent off a billion applications on Saturday morning - had a phonecall at lunchtime today from an agency who had my CV and wanted to register me. She phoned me about 30 mins later said there was a temporary job going in Newport at a law firm (kind of like my last job) but the only problem was they wanted a start tomorrow. She said its pretty likely to go to a permanent position though but even if it doesn't temporary work is better than no work at the moment.
    Don't know how much Im being paid as a temp but even min wage will be ok for me but they said perm position will be paying £15k :eek: thats loads compared to the rest of the kind of jobs Ive been applying for!

    Not really a huge idea of what Ill be expected to do there but I suppose Ill find out tomorrow
