Fiasco: glad to hear that you mum is getting out of hospital and should be OK.
...and another UU!: Liz Earle's Instant Skin Tonic. WIBA? Don't need to - I have another bottle.
(Both were donated to me, so that's even better as it's cheaper!)
Also a GA: Benefit Dandelion blusher. It's just too pale for me. I bought it before they had all the different colours they have out now and just had 2, but I can't wear it as it just looks wrong. Don't ask me how they have managed to make anything pale enough not to suit me - (I'm so pale that I'm practically transparent!), but they did. Luckily, I've just come back into contact with an exceedingly pale friend, who it will suit, so I gave it to her. Waste not, want not!(I need a new blusher very soon and she works in a department store and can get me 20% off, so that's my new blusher and foundations sorted. Excellent!)
Hope you are all well.
P.S. Have just started the huge bottle of Wash Almighty from the S&G pink boxes from last year. Is is just me or does anyone else think it looks like Fairy washing up liquid?! :rotfl:Please call me 'Pickle'

Hi everyone, hope you're all doing ok. Finished a couple of things while staying at the OH's this weekend:
Clinique Take the Day off Balm - Really like this for the ease of travel but it doesn't rinse as clean as a cleansing oil would so might not buy again.
Charles Worthington Volume Shampoo and Conditioner - WNBA. Didn't really do anything for my hair. Will have to invest in some lush mini's to stash at his because I always seem to just pink up cheap stuff that doesn't agree with my hair.
Avene Cleanance Soapless Gel Cleanser - WBA. This is HG face wash for me. Makes me annoyed that I just stocked up on skin care and now boots have their 3 for 2 on skincare! Have got my spare one out of the stash for now.Emergency Fund - £8572.39 / £10,000 :: Mortgage OP 2025 - £LISA 24/25 - £3200 / £4000 :: NSD 2025 - 2 / 150 :: Books Read: 1 / 52 :: Decluttering - 4 / 1000Engaged 9th December 2010 :: Married 29th October 2015 :: Bought a House 13th January 20170 -
I need to jump back in again. While i can't think of anything unneccesary i've bought in a long time i haven't been pampering myself enough to reduce my stash by much. I have however UU all of the conditioner :j it only took 2 years. :cool:0

One very speedy UU - I started on my S&G body mist moisturiser today and it made my skin itch so I'm donating that to a friend. Weird because none of the other S&G stuff I have tried has been a problem.0

What good news about your Mum, whew, Fiasco. Also, welcome back and well done Holly and enjoy your PRCP treats.
I was in Aldi today and a lot of the Christmas goodies are out already, I noticed. I resisted everything in the toiletries line
I would love to try the Lacura urea foot cream, will have to keep an eye out for that coming back via the Thursday/Sunday specials.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.0 -
Please can you put me down, i havent had chance to do my stash list update as yet, but its deffo too much for 1 person to use alone, this side of next christmas
.
I have 2 UU to report :j
Avon Anew clinical eye Lift, WIBA? only when on offer or if some one wants to spoil me for christmas or birthday i wont say no! It is lovely even i felt it lifting my brows it seemed to reduce the puffiness and reduce my dark circles and im not over 30 yet!
Collection 2000 clear hardener nail varnish... had it that long i cant actually undo it any more. (think its been in my stash 10 years!):o

Glad your mum's ok Fiasco!
I agree with you about the Wash Almighty, Pickle! I haven't started on mine yet though - think I might have to leave it until next year!Sealed Pot Challenge Number 1225

2 uu for me so far, 1 tresemme conditioner although I don't stockpile them so it doesn't feel much of an achievement! Also a daycream has gone too, just 3 of those to go now!
I started doing my stash list but couldn't complete it. It's embarrassingly long already and would take forever to type. It's made me not want to buy anything more EVER though, 50 lipsticks are far too many for anyone to need to buy anymore ever! I stopped myself buying Marie Claire this week as I only wanted it for the freebie.0 -
itzybitzy you have a hair product list that i dream of! lol
my umberto giannini conditioner is still spluttering, as is my Superdrug intensive coconut conditioner, so i've taken my Paul mitchell shampoo and conditioner out of the cupboard that i got two christmases ago. there's still loads more stuff there, especially after buying some more during the week
UU - acqueous cream = have to buy again as it's the only thing i can wash my hands with without it taking my skin off.
Nivea Deodrant - prefer the Dove and have some in stock but it was ok.
my 'lovely' mother gave me back the foot treatment gift set that i gave her for her birthday, just because i was looking for one specific thig in the Boots which they no longer do. I tried to tell her i really didn't need it but she wasn't listening. She also has problems with sometimes realising when she's doing hurtful things such as slinging a gift back in someones face.0 -

I think that's been my problem too over the last few monthsP.S. Have just started the huge bottle of Wash Almighty from the S&G pink boxes from last year. Is is just me or does anyone else think it looks like Fairy washing up liquid?! :rotfl:
Smells better though :rotfl:Lemon_Tree wrote: »my 'lovely' mother gave me back the foot treatment gift set that i gave her for her birthday, just because i was looking for one specific thig in the Boots which they no longer do.

Hugs LT - sometimes they think they are being helpful don't they but are only hurting your feelingsYou could always regift it back
Fiasco - Glad your mum is out and doing well :T
My SIL gave birth this morning - everyone is well. Looking forward to seeing photos but very sad I won't get to see the baby
We had a lovely day yesterday at the fair - despite thinking it would be a bit naff. OH won me a 4 foot Eeyore :eek: We got some funny looks on the train back where 'he' had to have his own seat :rotfl::rotfl:
Hugs to all :cool:0
