    Hello Ladies,

    Hugs to mingle

    Rosemary - your carrot story made me laugh!


    I have a few UUs:
    • Aldi foot scrub WBA - a nice product at a very good price
    • B&H Iced Peppermint body lotion and bath foam. WNBA!! Hurray! I have used all my B&H, never again. The temptation was too much and i tipped about 25mls of bath foam into one bath just to get rid of it...:o
    I have been very naughty and ordered 4 BS items off the website,all 250ml for £5.20 delivered plus Quidco. That was too hard to resist. will declare them when I get them from the UK.
    Do nothing in haste; look well to each step; and from the beginning think what may be the end - Edward Whymper

    Morning

    Hugs to those in need.

    I feel like October has been painfully slow with UU but today things seemed to end!
    LE skin tonic - WBA - i love the LE stuff as it seems to really suit my skin, i use this more as a freshen upper rather than a toner
    Scholl foot deo - WNBA - can't remember why i had this in my stash - i don't tend to suffer from smelly feet, must have been for an ex!
    splutterers sure deo roll on and vit e oil so hopefully a couple more this month :j
    £400,000 starting Jan 2020 current end date Aug 2041 I would love the end date to be 2027 but will aim first for 2037.
    1% target £4000 so far £20 paid

  • Mcculloch29 - thanks for that oakwood link, Once I've used up my remaining half full bottles of shampoo, and used up seanik, I'll definitely buy from there. Seems like a nice family run business. Sticking the link in my online shopping favourites folder!
    Edit: They have cheaper delivery charges than Lush as well, what more can I ask for!?
    In the end the journey's brought joys which outweigh the pain.

    Another UU for me, yay! :j

    Scholl heel cream - WIBA? Probably not - was quite expensive for what it is, and wasn't all that really.
    No Buying Toiletries Challenge since 23/10/2011
    OUTs so far: 111 :j

    A splutter - Dove shower gel 'bought' in the hey day of the Tesco DTD where thye paid me to take it away!! :j
    Sigh, those were the days.
    Would 'buy' again as it was pretty moisturising, still have plenty of OS to use first! :D
    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.

    UU: l'Occitane Verban Hand Cooling Gel: I'm not sure that it was cooling, and, to be honest, it's not really a function I've ever required from a handcream.

    It smelled amazing, but seemed a bit thin on my hands. I'm not sure if it might not have been better suited to summertime use.

    I was sooooo good in town and did not buy any toiletries,in fact did not even venture into boots/occitane and John lewis did not sell the perfume I had a coupon for so no freebie either!
    got home to find my YSL delivery had come...free delivery/lovely gift wrap free make up bag with mirror/mini lippy/minimascara/eye pencil and sharpener plus eye make up remover plus min lippy and mascara chosen as my samples plus 2 perfume samples as a surprise :):):)
    only snag they sent me the wrong item:(and tried to say it was the right one but I could send it back at my expense!!!no way,I sent them the 2 emails they had sent me one of which had the right thing on and the other the wrong thing(they were similar items in the same sort of packaging) so they are going to look in to it...watch this space/I will keep the item,it is a primer as opposed to a thing like beauty flash.
    did buy some clothes at sale prices plus a strapless bra so not a wasted trip

    one more UU though! a stretch mark body lotion (supposed to be for baby's mum) asda's own...I'm not a mum...but it smells lovely! got it free in a sample bag from somewhere, WIBA? ...yes! even thought i'm not a mum, I really liked it! :)
  • Morning all,
    Haven't posted in a while but am flying through my stash. Currently I'm down to my last shower soap, shampoo, conditioner, face wash and even had to buy Marie Claire for a new home handcream as I'd run out! The stubborn items are all things that I don't use that often - face masks, styling products, etc, so I'm going to make a real effort to use them up, as I love the extra space I've gained already!
