Ive got an IN to report, but I think I dont have to go too near the naughty step again - Ive bought the OOTW from Boots - the Ted Baker set. I love the dark purple one, and I dont dislike the pale one either - and as Im all but out of the mini scrub and the mini body butter, and im all but out of my bubble bath and shower gel too - i figured I was allowed !! (Im planning on going back for two more though - one to ebay maybe, and the other to give for christmas to someone or keep and use myself!!)
no UU yet, all but got shot of the simple moisturiser though.
Nearly November - eeek !!!Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup0 -
Went to buy a scented candle today, with a voucher I had, and got given 4 samples of the new Eve Lom eye cream- which should last at least a week0

3 UU's today:
Banana Republic Classic perfume 50mls - WBA (and already have in the Jan sales this year).
Clinique super balanced foundation - WBA and I have already opened the last one in my stash.
Cowshed Knackered Cow Foaming Bath - WNBA purely as I never really take baths. I think I am one of the few on here that like Cowshed.
Only little IN - Dirty Works Moisturising Body Oil which looks like S & G only its Sainsbury's version. They have the range on offer and got it for 99p. I hope it is like the Sanctuary body oil that I really liked.
This now brings my grand total of 250 UU since starting the challange 12 months ago. I can't see me reaching the 500 UU mark next October as I still have loads of LHJ like NV and eye shadows.No buying toiletries Graduated May 2017Decluttered 2016 2469 items, 2017 1580 items :j2018 3060 itemsSealed Pot Challenge No 0380 -
Looked at the M&S site and noticed their beauty has 25% off, really like their perfumes so bought some (4 :eek:) because the sets with body lotion also had a full size perfume for the same price as the perfume :j Used gift vouchers so didn't cost me anything!
Also whilst looking for the M&S gift vouchers I found a £5 House of Fraser voucher to be used by start of November so will go there tomorrow :rotfl: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 time0 -
Nothing to report although I've probably had some UUs but no INs...yet. Its hard to keep up with no internet, hopefully it will be sorted tomorrow:j Its my birthday tomorrow and have asked for some smellies so I'm sure there will be quite a few ins:) Technically planned as there isn't so much stashed these days.Debt free and busy treating myself:)
No more toiletries/make up until I've used what I've got stashed since Jan 2011, graduated October 2012. Restocked Dec 13..damn those sales0 -
I didn't scroll back far enough previously and missed Fiasco's posting about her Mum. Fiasco, your poor Mum, she must have been feeling so frightened and uncared for. Hope that things settle down for her. At least she told you this time! Fingers crossed.
:bdaycake:
Happy Birthday Seaside Dreamer. Just listening to Janice Long on the radio, it's her birthday too.
Hope you can get to the net soon to report some birthday in's - they always make interesting reading!
1 small UU. The Herbal Essences Hello Hydration shampoo and conditioner sachets.
WIB? No, not my hair type. Pleasant enough stuff, but a bit of an odd colour, I associate blue with medicated products.
The Seanik is leaving my hair very soft, can cut down on using conditioner, methinks.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 -
I am really sitting on my hands trying to resist ordering a free purse spray of Fergie from the Black Eyed Peas' perfume for Avon that an email from Very alerted me to. I do need a new wintry perfume as I'm running out of Be Delicious, but I'm eyeing up that new Prada Candy one and could pay for it with Boots points so it'd be cost neutral, and the Fergie one seems a bit too 'eveningy' (although I suppose I won't know until I smell it?) and I've just bought a new evening perfume... Basically, I need someone to shout at me and tell me I don't need it!"A mind needs books as a sword needs a whetstone, if it is to keep its edge." - Tyrion LannisterMarried my best friend 1st November 2014Loose = the opposite of tight (eg "These trousers feel a little loose")Lose = the opposite of find/gain (eg "I'm going to lose weight this year")0

Fiasco I hope they can find out what's up with you Mum. How worrying
Hugs to you both.
Happy birthday SeasideDreamer!! I hope you have a great day
Minerva I loved your list on the new polishes, but don't go for the perfume!! :cool:
And I like Lush's Ultimate Shine shampoo bar, but they last so long (very :money:I know) that I get bored trying to use up the end bit! Got the huge TIGI bottles at the moment, which I suspect will last me close to forever (ok, less longer than forever), but the scent is really nice.
The Oakwood Aromatics site is really tempting. I'm really liking the look of the bath fizz. But I will resist!!
Hanval - Thank you!
This is my first attempt with my new Orly kit, so it wasn't necessary, but it is something I will use, I hope you guys like it:No buying unnecessary toiletries/makeup in May: Unnecessary spend £17.60

Sawan - I like your nails, you must be really good at doing the tricky designs! Well done!
I've got one last UU for the month - my Garnier BB sample. WNBA because it's too dark/orangey for my pale skin. Plus it didn't do much to even up my skin tone, I prefer the No7 tinted moisturiser so far.In the end the journey's brought joys which outweigh the pain.
No buying toiletries in November: INs 1 OUTs 10. Total OUTs since October: 260
