    Sawan, thank you so much for sharing all that. I would love to go to Dubai for the racing and if I postponed one or two other projects it is do-able. We can dream.
    You wouldn't believe how often having to confess to you lot has kept me from buying something! I also find myself thinking of you at random moments, Sarah popped into my mind today when I saw a lovely Eeyore mug in Wilko's!
    I'm in an upbeat mood, I found a £5 Argos voucher at the bottom of my bag and used it to get a coffee machine for free! The Cookworks coffee maker is down to £4.99 and I'd reserved one yesterday,
    I had a small IN but it's something I didn't have: Wilko's own value brand of facial wipes, 25 for 30p!

    Is it wrong that I like looking at everyone's stash lists because it gives me ideas of what toiletries to buy next after I've finished everything? :o

    :rotfl:Love the directions.



    I have been gutting out my flat and have found another Lancome mascrra that has been opened ages ago and then lost. It did spark a memory that I had then moved onto the other Lancome one well over 2 years ago. So I have no binned both of these.

    Your pics are fab sawan - I have never been there and it is a place I would like to see.

    (((alanis))) Hope things take a turn for the better tonight.

    I have been looking at booking up my "summer holiday" which is happening in November. It looks like we will be Las Vegas bound for two weeks with a hire car. I haven't been to Vegas in three years so I had been wanting to go back (used to go once a year). So the price is right so it will be getting booked this weekend :D.

    Trudji - You can make the five in the sad club as I feel the same way about reporting UU.

    Not at all Lady M - I have discovered lovely Spiced Vanilla Body Butter thanks to this thread, along with wonderful Batiste Dry Shampoo. There must be others as well, I just can't think what they are at the moment.

    Not at all - I swear I only started buying up the entire stock of The Body Shop after reading all the stash lists - before that I was pretty much just addicted to Lush!

    Though I'm quite proud of myself today - I went in The Body Shop to see if I could spend that £10 off £20 voucher Rosemary kindly posted, and managed to resist! Hope this can continue - I live 5 mins away from my local BS store so it's difficult!

    Sorry about your crap day Alanis :( Hugs to you, hope tomorrow is better.

    Dubai sounds amazing Sawan! Will have to add it to the list of places I want to go...

    I adore Batiste Dry Shampoo. Always a staple in my drawer. :p

    I'm sad too.:D

    I've also spent more in BS than ever before thanks to this thread and everyone posting about their sale spends:rotfl: It was easier to ignore the sale when I didn't know it was happening:rotfl:
