    EH My deepest condolences to you and MrEH. It's never easy losing somebody you love and it doesn't get any easier no matter what age you are :( I lost three uncles and an aunt myself this year and I try not to think about it. But when I do, well, I just try to focus on the good times I had with them to lessen the pain.

    As for stash numbers, I'm pretty sure I've passed 100 nail polishes, I stopped counting at 90 :eek:

    I hope everybody is having a lovely day. Yesterday and today at work have been slightly stressful, hoping tomorrow is easier on me!!

    Going to Bluewater tonight with sister2, will try to stay away from toiletries and makeup :o

    Spluttering Anna Sui Secret Wish Magic Romance perfume. The level has stayed the same for at least 2 weeks. And I've been using it liberally every morning to UU. It's definitely my LHJ. There's only about 2-3mm left in there and still it continues *sigh*

    No UUs. No more INs. How boring :o

    Oooh, has anybody seen the eyeshadow palette free with the new no7 mascara? Was thinking about buying, then gifting the mascara and keeping the palette. Although I have far too many eyeshadows already :( Maybe not.. :(

    got my latest in beauty box today and as exxpected was disapointed :(...supposed to be samples worth £20 for which you pay £5...consisted of clarins day cream 15mls(possibly the best item cost wise and one I use) batiste dry shampoo 50mls(£1 in Boots)55mls of balance me body wash(no idea of price)15mls nivea for men gel(?price)5mls dr organic skin lotion(?price)and 1 gram natures wonder moisturiser(?price)...put it this way I would def not have paid £20!!!!!

    I got this last week and was quite disapointed as well. Presumed it was the Clarins which put the value up. Havn't got round to using any of it yet but the nivea for men gel will go in the xmas box for the boyfriend.

    Evening ladies!

    Just a quick hello to say I'm in!

    Got back from hols last night with quite a few UUs to report once I've caught up with things.

    Catch up soon :wave:

    Carolyn, can I ask what profession you're in? Wondering why you'd be working in the rain :o I'm in and out of the rain. Not much fun. But hiding in the office today :p

    Sawan, I'm a zookeeper, so i'm always outside.

    One more UU for me today (woohoo two in one day!)
    S&G Glad hair day shampoo 250ml WIBA? Lovely and light, lovely smell and lasted for months, but unless I went out of my way to find it probably not.

    Yay, 80 UUs in just over 3 months!

    Just received my max factor foundation to trial today:j but will be giving it to my mum, who can probably test out the 'ageless' part a bit better than I can:D I don't use foundation very often, manage some lipgloss and concealer in the mornings but that's about it. She will also be giving out the samples to her avon customers so it makes sense if she can talk to them about it :)

    EH- I'm so sorry for your loss:( I've lost a few relatives and friends this past month and it's never easy. My thoughts are with you:)

    My problem is perfume. I have added them all up and have 30 assorted ones...from solid ones (e.g. Lush solid stick ones) through to cheapo ones that I was just trying out....up to my favourite expensive ones...my latest is Jimmy Choo (bought duty free) which is lovely and probably going to be my HG.

    30!!!!!:eek:

    I hadnt realised I had so many as I have around 10 stashed in or on top of my desk at work and others scattered around the house and in boxes.

    Back to the naughty step........................
    i'm sure there was somone on here not so long ago who had even more perfumes than that, but we lost her to the dark side aka tesco double the difference thread lol
