    Have finally made a start on a list of all the items that I have stashed all over the house - will hopefully post it tomorrow. I did discover that I have 45 deodarants!

    I have also posted a list on the FB swapsies group.

    Hope everyone is having a great weekend. We are off to do a car boot sale tomorrow after clearing out some of our attic - fingers crossed for a dry day.

    no UU's but I have some Ins to confess to (and just when I was doing so well too :mad:).

    I bought a Johnson's baby oil in Bodycare for 99p, and
    2 X Batiste diva dry shampoo from the clearance shelf in Mr B for £1.17 each.

    To be fair though, there's only a dribble of baby oil left in the bottle in use and I've no stockpile of dry shampoo (sorry....had no stockpile of dry shampoo :o)

    .............................makes way to naughty step - budge up ladies:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Well I have finally finished my packing - nothing like being organised :p

    I have crammed as many minis as possible in my suitcase so here is hoping for lots of UUs.

    I do have one more UU tonight. Cowshed hand wash 300mls. WIBA? This was part of a gift set so I didn't buy it in the first place but I do like Cowshed stuff (the only one on here I think). So if it was a gift - I wouldn't say no.

    Congratulations to your OH Charlie - brilliant news!

    So sad hearing the news coming out of Norway - we have a Norwegian friend and she's just in shock that anyone would do this to her country. Then Amy Winehouse's death as well to add to it -although more shocking than her death is some of the awful stuff being posted on Facebook - the sooner some people fall off their mnore high-horses, the better.
    There's some turquoisy blue Miss Sporty nail varnish that I've been resisting for a few months. I nearly bought Cosmopolitan (?) recently for a freebie nail polish but resisted as I've decided it would be better to spend the money on a nail varnish colour that I've been hankering after. It's cheap too and so I might give in this week.

    Congratulations to Lynseydee and fingers crossed for your hubby. Congrats also to Charlie's OH!

    I've been resisting that exact same shade FMG! As you'll see though, today the day came when I had to resist no longer - and when I compared that one, and the No.17 one called "Peacock" I went for the 17 one as the coverage looked better and colour was identical. I've used it already and the coverage is superb from just one coat.

    And Rosemary probably has that many now.....! :D

    So - those birthday related IN's I mentioned......as planned we hit the shops this afternoon - first stop Body Shop so I could spend my birthday £5 - I got a mini Wild Cherry BB and a mini Rainforest conditioner so an exact £5 spend and no cash changed hands.

    OH then took over paying and we headed to Boots - No. 17 nailvarnishes on 2 for £5 so I got the turquoise one mentioned above, plus the crackle, and also a couple of packs of double faced cotton wool pads on the 2 for £2.50 deal. Then into Superdrug - this time it was 2 Barry M nailpolishes - a nice bright metallic green and a fabulous glittery red, and an impulse body spray which I wanted for the beer festival - great for quick end of the day freshen ups. So, yes, I've had some IN's, but my case for not going to the naughty step is that either they were needed (body spray and cotton wool) or they were free (BS bits) or they were presents. Am I let off? :A

    Fiasco & Sarah - have a great time! I'm very jealous Sarah - I love Inverness!

    Morning all

    One UU for me from yesterday, Boots No 7 Cleanse & Care Eye Make-up Remover, WIBA? Yep but only if I had a £5 No7 voucher as £7.50 is too much to pay. I've replaced it with a Superdrug own version that I picked up few weeks back.

    Hoping to have a few OUTs via Ebay later :) I will definitely I have 2 but have 3 others listed that have no bids yet.

    Thanks for the info. Now you've told me that I'll make sure I have a good look at the various turquoise shades available before deciding. I've got a No 7 dark turquoise shade which I bought about 2 years ago and so I might take that with me to ensure that I don't come back with a duplicate colour as it's so difficult to carry colours in your head!

    Have I missed your birthday? If so, belated happy birthday or at least have a good birthday when the time comes!

    One UU to report:

    Veet In-Shower hair removal cream - WNBA as I hate the smell and I don't get on with hair removal creams that well.:o

    Also one spluttering to report: Clearasil Ultra Deep Pore Treatment Scrub.

    2 more UU's now I've had a shower:

    - 1 x sachet of conditioner from the Nice & Easy Foam Hair Dye. The dye comes with 2 sachets. Each sachet lasts 2 applications. Nice intensive conditioner.
    - 1 x S&G Flake Away body scrub (50ml) - WIBA? I don't think so. My friend kindly gave me this as I wanted to try it without buying the big tub and there were no minis in our Boots. I like the scrubbiness of it, but it does leave a residue on your skin which I'm not a fan of. Think I'll try some others first, got a Santuary mini scrub to try courtesy of the FB swapsies.
