    Quickie post, I'm definitely IN - and probably will be for the forseeable future :p I've done my epic fail declaration on the July thread :p:o

    Thanks for starting the August thread Mingle :j

    You guys are fast, there was only one page when I was catching up on my mobile yesterday coming back on the M40 (I wasn't driving :p).

    Adilade - your post made me laugh sooo much! It was totally what I was going to write :o Ramadan is the same for me, with being at home more I'm counting on it reducing my ins :D (Trying not to buy online either).

    August is also my birthday month, and toiletry ins as gifts are rare, but I always buy myself something I really want but feel bad buying any other time of year, or asking somebody else to get me. I wanted the Flora by Gucci handbag spray set that's on offer in Boots, but with my luck I went to order today and it's oos. Should have bought it Friday when I saw it :(

    Hopefully going to catch up now :)

    ETA: Caught up now :) Welcome to everybody who's joined or re-joined :)Loving the stash lists ;)

    Like DorsetGirl, tonight is my first UU.
    Head And Shoulders Colour Care Conditioner
    WIBA? No.
    It's not a bad conditioner and my hair does feel in lovely condition (not like it did just before I washed my hair after using the sachet of VO5's Give Me Moisture shampoo/conditioner that was laying around last night. Nasty stuff!) but H&S strips my hair of it's dyed colour. I'm trying to use it up now the colour's growing out and needs cutting and dying again.

    The shampoo (well, not colour care, it's the damage protect one) is spluttering so I can get it cut and coloured hopefully by this time next week :D

    Hello ladies,

    I'm in for August!

    I have my first out for the month: a 17 eyeshadow in Blue Belle. I've been using this for work for as long as I can remember and I just couldn't stand the sight of it. So in a rash moment I chucked it.

    August is probably going to be a bad month for INs as I'm coming to the UK for a few days and that always means temptation..........
