how about looking for a nice arab x shire for him so he can have the best of both??
Actually, don't laugh, I've been looking for just that. Not many about though! (we'd be looking for something unspoilt to bring on how we want it brought on, which always narrows the field further).
Brushing? Barely ever do that here...:o:o0 -

Right - roll-call is done up to date so if I've missed you come and bosh me over the head with an empty bottle of something.....note I said "empty" - that ought to delay THAT happening for a while then!
*note* When I have put anyone's "real" name on the roll-call it is only in circumstances where they have actually told us their name/what they prefer to be known as - I won't "out" you otherwise!
Sawan I know exactly what you mean about learning to type the smilies out in full for the phone - SO much easier!
Welcome to Karen & any other newbies I've failed to spot.... :hello:
I took that mixed lip balm off the list yesterday although there is still a smidge to use - it'll go today though so I saw little point in carrying it over. Not much else spluttering at the moment although I may well kill off my facewash this month, possibly my face scrub and also one face mask. (the "rip your face off" peel-off one we were talking about previously!) Does require me remembering to actually use them though so......I have just put base coat on my nails ready to paint them in a bit - got to decide which colour now!

I mean, I have a toothpaste that I like and I won't use anything else - should I just chuck the other stuff?
When I went through my stash I started a box for the local Christmas Shelter for the Homeless - it's such a good idea that I've been adding to the box every month with basics stuff from the supermarket. Google Women's Refuge or Homeless Shelters
You can always sell full, clean, branded stuff on eBaylostinrates wrote: »depends on the stuff. It was pointed out in early threads that women's refuges were often gratefull for stuff in decent state....e.g. useable nail poilsh, bottles of stuff half full that were clean and useable.
I never thought of putting polish in - and I bet they'd like some perfume samples too - I have those everywhere:T
(I even type the things for emoticons so had to learn them :eek:)
That's dedication :rotfl::rotfl:Lemon_Tree wrote: »Got the body shop hemp one out of my handbag to use up. I know it's really moisturising but i can 'feel' it on my skin all the time and the smell is starting to get to me.
I have that problem with the hemp stuff - I think it's fab but can't bear the smell - too earthy for me0 -
Can I join in please??
Cant post a list of my stash as I am still compiling it bit by it as stuff emerges from boxes (moved house 2 months ago!) its currently at around 70 items :eek:
I know Im going to be naught tomorrow as I'm going to a city with a LUSH for a day out and I have 5 pots to cash in for a face mask, and also a 10% off voucher so I bet I'll end up buying something!!!0 -
