    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

    We are going to York for an overnight stay on 3 December. Are there any Christmas markets on? I want to go to the Castle Museum however have been outvoted by MrM and Emma and called boring!

    You're going at just the right time as they all start around that date - we went last year and there was a few nice stalls - but York is fab at xmas time anyway, it just seems more festive IYKWIM :rotfl: We usually go a little later than we have done this year and were quite sad to miss all the lights and things this time :(

    Have managed to get a couple of freebie nappies and wipes but then I don't want to start baby on the downward spiral like me, although I do understand baby will get through their stash slightly quicker than me :rotfl:

    You can never have enough nappies - I managed to get my Brother and SIL 270 newborn nappies (free!) for their new wee one and they lasted not more than a month :eek: get claiming everything you can girl - babies are expensive!

    I'm off with my BFF for a free 3 course dinner courtesy of Morrisons this afternoon. It's to advertise their new range of chef inspired dishes - I'm having the fillet steak mmmmmm :p

    :cool:

    Welcome evisquid :wave: I'm pretty sure it's illegal to try and resist Sephora if you're in the US. What did you get out there? We visited Orlando in October and my stash grew from that trip. Has to be done "when in Rome".

    i basically bought up the bare minerals counter. they had amazing value sets, i got the lips one thats just appeared in debenhams in july for $40 and its £39 over here! they had a really good laura mercier set on too.

  • I just had my first UU! :)

    Dermalogica Renewal Lip Complex sample from Oct Glossybox.

    WIBA? no way. its no better than other lip balms I've used and the sample i got was worth about a tenner, its just over half size. it lasted me about 10 uses max.

    Count me in! :)

    Would you like me to make you admin on the FB group so you can use that for organising seeing as we can't swap addresses on here etc? x


    Out - 2 packs of wipes (finally :o sorry Sarah!) on their way to Sarah*A! :rotfl: They were a free thing to test, so er, WNTA because they were too wet and I didn't like them.
    In - Red shampoo and conditioner from a boots range (not sure which)
    :j
  • S&G hand cream WDBA, love this, smells so yummy
    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 sales
  • Hi all,

    One more UU for me:
    My trial mystery facial wipes. WIB? If I knew what they were, possibly.

    Oooh, that sounds sensible But what about non Facebookers? - I just thought we. Could do it by pm on here, if anyone interested pms me with name address age and any relevant details (allergies or real likes/dislikes!!) I would draw people out of hats... As for value, retail value of at least a fiver? That way nobody is left with just a single 89p face mask....?????
