after much agony we decided not to put my mare back in foal.She's suddenly seeming very old
and she's very precious, I'd rather have her around paddock ornamenting for a few years than her ''being useful'' for 18 months.
. We're currently in debate over what should join us next. well, I know what I want, but dh seems to think he's getting either an arab or a shire, (I really do need that roll eyed smiley back).
things?? well they are trundling along in that wonderful way that only I seem to be able to manage.... :doh:
Red though is doing wonderfully - shes 4.5 months in foal now - just a few weeks off starting the extra vaccinations,so its all suddenly feeling very real !! theres a pic of her on one of the last few pages of the June thread - I hadnt brushed her for 6 weeks when i took it,and nobody believes me !!!
Sad that you arent putting your mare in foal,but totally understand why, there are more important things sometimes - and a nice one to keep the OH happy cant be badhow about looking for a nice arab x shire for him so he can have the best of both??
Right - Im on call tonight - and as its now July I can announce my first UU of the month, my can of Sure deodorant. WIBA? maybe - though we tend to buy whatever is on offer. got a few splutterers too, so could be off to a flier if i do things right.... !
night ladies !!! xxDo not meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup0 -
Morning all can i join in with this challenge this is my worst nightmare stopping buying toiletries and since xmas ive been really trying and now coming to end of stashes id love to find some new bits with honest reviews like ive seen whilst lurking xx1414-sealed pot challenge :j157-virtual sealed pot challenge:) £10.23..
£175.73/£280 october grocery challenge:eek: 3/15 NSD October0 -
I'm in again, please.
Right, this month really must be the declutter, clean out month. Hoarding old products must come to an end.
I realised I don't have that much of a problem with toiletries....its MAKEUP! I honestly think I have 20+ unopened lipglosses/lipsticks. Dear Lord...you'd think I was stockpiling for the end of lip products. Why?
Anyway, perhaps a list would help me, I'll start making one soon.0 -
May go through my makeup and start throwing outSavings £8,865.22 £/15,000 Aiming to save enough for a house deposit.0

Back in for July!
June saw my first unnecessary cash purchase since Dec. - a BS Spiced Vanilla Body Butter But that's not bad going. It will get used, it was just wanted, rather than needed.
Lots of UU's last month - about 10 I think - so this will be a quiet month.
Thank you EH for starting this and thanks to all those posting stashes, love reading them.
My aim is to get down to 1 or 2 of everything.
Currently it's
1 handwash upstairs and 1 in kitchen! YAY!
2 shampoos totalling c. 400 ml plus 1/4 of a Lush shampoo bar and I only use 20 ml of shampoo a week. Plan is one or two bottles and one bar but mini YAY as I am sort of there. I just don't want any more huge bottles.
2 hair conditioners totalling 400 ml - approx 30 ml a week used. Plan is: 1 in use
2 intensive hair conditioners totalling 200 ml . Plan is 1 in use
c 750 ml spread across 4 shower gels. Plan is: 2 in use.
C. 700 ml Body Butter across 3 butters. Plan is: for no more than 2 200/300 ml butters on the go.
c. 300 ml body lotion across 2 bottles. Plan is: for 1 bottle
My face is a bit of a different matter - I was gifted in Dec and May quite a few creams that I haven't touched yet!Erma Bombeck, American writer: "If I had my life to live over again... I would have burned the pink candle, sculptured like a rose, that melted in storage." Don't keep things 'for best' - that day never comes. Use them and enjoy them now.0 -
I'm in again!
I will try to do a stash list update next week after I have finished my block of nights.
I'm an original member (oh the shame!).
But I do have nice new products in my stash now instead of the stuff I had originally. In fact, I think there's only 1 thing left from the original start of the challenge and that's DH's fake tanning face/body lotion. I shall start using that on his body because he's so blimmin pastyDebt: 16/04/2007:TOTAL DEBT [strike]£92727.75[/strike] £49395.47:eek: :eek: :eek: £43332.28 repaid 100.77% of £43000 target.MFiT T2: Debt [STRIKE]£52856.59[/STRIKE] £6316.14 £46540.45 repaid 101.17% of £46000 target.2013 Target: completely clear my [STRIKE]£6316.14[/STRIKE] £0 mortgage debt. £6316.14 100% repaid.0
