    UU: Gok gold barrel. (Well, it's not technically a Uu, rather a 'Give Away' (can we start a GA abbrveviation, ladies, as I think it would be rather useful for us all) to a friend for a birthday. I'm delighted, as it means that my Boots -75% purchases were justified, and it also saved me money I haven't got at the minute, which is really useful, too! :D
    Please call me 'Pickle'

    I second that - It could double for both gifts and charity donations - as opposed to OUT which I generally use for BINNED :rotfl:

    I'm a cynic and have to shamefully admit I would say no. The only exceptions would be for somebody I know well, or the son/daughter of somebody I know very well.

    I have food poisoning and been feeling sick all day :( Just came in to work about an hour ago to help close up. Hence didn't get to go to Wilkinson to collect my drawers.. I want them now!

    Using the Rimmel Sexy Curves mascara at the moment ma-ri-ella. It's quite nice although I didn't like it at first. Mine's drying up now as it's been open for so long, so may have to bin it soon.

    Hugs to everybody.

    if its any help - when i was at uni i rented rooms in family homes. to be honest i was so shy they hardly ever saw me!! also they had a live in baby sitter lol
    though i would say if you are going to do it then 2 girls would be best, i was awfully lonely when i was living in a house where i was the only student and as it was my 1st year i could of done with having someone else there in the same situation.
    in the other years i lived in a family house that rented to 2 students and it was much nicer for me.

    Evening all

    I've been absent a bit due to moving and not feeling very well. I've also left the FB swapsies group as I hopefully won't need to swap anything again as I refuse to have any INs that won't be used! A small amount to report:

    INs - Nice & Easy Foam hair dye dark brown, Boots No7 Eye Makeup Remover - used my Boots £5 voucher on this :)

    UU - Nivea Body Lotion sample sachet
