    I don't think I'll need any to the end of this decade! :D

    Me too! :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    I have a few INs to declare.

    Nivea Daily essentials Face wipes twin pack from HB and Andrew Collinge Body Building Hair Lotion. Last week I started on my only body building product left in my stash - Charles Wotherington which is doing nothing for my hair. I have given it a week and my hair still is flat!!

    I only have 1 UU - Nicky Clarke Highlights serum.

    I've just done one of my lazy woman's multi-tasking get ready for the week ahead sessions!

    I did a face mask on face neck chest and backs of hands, a hair mask, and a cuticle removing treatment whilst luxuriating in a bath of foot soak (which sounds gross but is just moisturing lemony scented bath oil really as far as I'm concerned. :D

    I've also got a couple of UUs to announce.

    UU Gale Hayman Youth List plus 15ml WIBA? Nah! It was all right but nothing I'd go out of way to purchase.

    UU Natural High Eye cream WIBA? Yes I would! It's absolutely nothing special at all. I just find that it works well under make up and so many eye creams don't. I don't think you can get it any more though! :(


    See you in the morning! :wave:

    Hi guys! No chance of catching up at the moment but I'm 50% of the way through the blanket I'm knitting so might get some time for MSE soon! Just popped in to say about some more outs.
    Gave away TBS satsuma body polish and TBS satsuma body butter. I got these on the super glitch earlier on in the year and whilst I waws looking forward to using them, they made up a nice small set to give to the daughter of DH's work mate who's just had a baby girl. I don't know her so it had to be a gift which she could pass on to someone else if she doesn't like it :o

    Hope you're all well?

    Morning :hello: and welcome newbies :D

    We've had a busy weekend - DD and her friend were over saturday night and we've had to get OH ready for the funeral tomorrow. On top of everything I've got a headache that won't quit and watching TV and using the computer is making me feel a little queasy _pale_

    No IN's - I got my Avon dates wrong and didn't feel upto going into town (wasted a BS BB voucher too :mad:) - but I have some UU's :T

    Boots Vitamin E Toner: WIBA? Definately - once I've used up the 2 bottles of Cucumber Toner in my stash :o
    S&G Righteous Butter: WIBA? Yes - I like the smell and the texture. This was the tub I saved from DD's bedroom floor :rotfl:
    S&G Glad Hair Day: WIBA? Already did - proof that the swaps group works :D
    Avon Cherry Conditioner: WIBA? Again - already did :p

    Not planning any shopping this week although DD [STRIKE]was reminded [/STRIKE] remembered she owes me a birthday pressie and I have it writing that she's getting me something from LUSH or Boots :rotfl::rotfl:

    OH is away tonight - so I may have a pamper evening ...... or just an early night :rotfl:

    Have a great day everyone :cool:

    Hi all, hope everyone had a good weekend.

    All my ebay bits are going to sell...will have to have another clear out of things see what else I could list.
    Off to post my FB swapsies as well! So that'll be a fair few outs to declare.

    Really, really want to try the M&S ingredients cherry body butter...smells divine!!
    Not getting on that well with my pineapple OS shower gel, I remember why I don't normally buy the stuff...It does not lather! Might promote it to using it as bubble bath.
    No further UUs for me.

    Hugs to all.

    Have you tried any of the John Frieda volume/thickening products? I like the shampoo, spray and mousse (not sticky). They're usually on a 2 for... offer and there's travel sizes if you don't want to commit to the full product! I'd be interested to know how the Andrew Collinge lotion works out, my hair needs all the volume it can get! I found the volume shampoo from that range to do nothing!

    I think I'll be joining you all in September! I'm a student but I'm at my parent's house for August. I didn't think my stash was too huge but I managed to count 70 items before I left. :o (Just bathroom stuff, makeup is separate). I'd like to get it down to about 30, to allow for the odd back-up item when things are on offer. Also need to save money as I'll have a lot of travel expenses for uni this year as I'm on placement. :(

    Welcome Newbies! Skyllo, join us now! You'll be busy in Sept. getting ready for Uni. Plus we haven't had a stash list to muse over for a day or two lol. This is a lovely, supportive, friendly thread.

    Cooler here today, so I've got socks on and have slathered my feet in the Compeed cracked heel cream. Using it barefoot had no effect at all. Worrying when it costs so much, hope this isn't a rip-off.

    I can't join yet as my stash is in Glasgow and I'm currently in Northern Ireland. I'm working my way through some minis that my mum has from No7 when I'm here as it saves me bringing toiletries over. :p

    I'll have a few UUs when I get back as some items are nearly finished and some I'll give away (e.g. Shockwaves clay to my flatmate - I used to have cropped hair but it's long now but her hair is short so she'll use it up.)

    I like almost everything in my stash as it's stuff I'll use. I'm looking to make the biggest dent in the hair styling section as I have multiple sprays/mousses. Not sure what to do with Backcomb in a Bottle though as it's rubbish for my fine hair!

    Hey everyone.:wave:
    I have a problem with my hair at the moment. :( I always make sure that I rinse my hair well but still the left roots from the front of my hair to half way back look really greasy and feel sticky.:eek: The right side is perfectly fine. This has only started happening lately and it's happening no matter what shampoo I use. I spend so long rinsing my hair and making sure I get all the soap out so I don't know what the problem is. :(
