    Ladies, I've just realised that this thread has been going for nearly TWO YEARS now! :eek:

    And you know what? I have used up a lot of toiletries, but I STILL have loads to use! :o


    :rotfl: me too !!! Its quite scary really isnt it !!!!!

    one more UU yesterday - my Ted Baker body souffle, was part of the set from last Christmasish (the cheapie boots deal thing that they did !!) WIBA? yes - think I would, probbaly not for a while though, cos I have a Love etc body lotion (that I dont like!) to use up first, and now I have discovered that I like the souffles best, there are lots of flavours for me to try Im sure !!!!
    Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup
  • 2 more UU to report - and this time it's makeup! :eek:

    Urban Decay De-Slick Setting Spray - Would most definitely buy again! In fact I have already and my new one arrived yesterday! This really has made a difference to the longevity of my makeup because I really am an oil slick really! But this keeps everything in place! It might be a little bit expensive (about £20 a bottle!) but it has lasted me since January (just checked my purchase history on ebay) and I got this one for 25% off from HQHair.

    The Body Shop Lightening Touch - Again, would definitely buy again! Use this everyday to conceal my under eye circles and it covers everything and lasts all day. Doesn't settle into lines and just improves the look of everything. I begrudge paying £14 for it so am trawling ebay because the last one I bought, I got for about £6!
    Emergency Fund - £8572.39 / £10,000 :: Mortgage OP 2025 - £
    LISA 24/25 - £3200 / £4000 :: NSD 2025 - 2 / 150 :: Books Read: 1 / 52 :: Decluttering - 4 / 1000

    Had a bit of a sort through today cause the weather was so rubbish and don't reckon I'll need to buy shower gel for the few years, have loads of it! As well as S&G, I reckon I could give my local Boots a run for the money in stock levels! lol
    Also sorted through my Christmas box and have my BFs mum, sister and gran all sorted with BS glitches!
    Off topic, just wtached Spooks OMG poor Tarqui:(
    Life is a coin, you can spend it anyway you wish, but you can only spend it once.
    Go as far as you can see, and when you get there you'll see further.
    Take time but don't waste time

  • Flirtini, massive hugs to you. I've been daytripping and then catching up with work, so only now have I read of your loss. There are no words really , as we all know.
    As I've said before, grief is the price we pay for love - not all are blessed to have fathers whom they love. Wishing you and all your loved ones strength and comfort. After losing your brother so suddenly this must seem massively unfair, but life and death is just so horribly random.
    May he be remembered with love.
    Erma Bombeck, American writer: "If I had my life to live over again... I would have burned the pink candle, sculptured like a rose, that melted in storage." Don't keep things 'for best' - that day never comes. Use them and enjoy them now.
