Hi Lula..lol at the bulk buy washing powder.. you will be clean for a long time .. (I tend to buy in bulk) ive stocked all my cuboards and freezer up..so if the snow hits i will lots of stock.. plus i tend to look each time for the special offers and stock up each time. At least if im ever poor poor poor i will have food.. i dont like the eat everything til there is nothing left.. say something happens and u have no money (wont be caught out like that)..
Last year i bought fairy washing up liquid in super size bottles x4... for £2.00 they are massive.. and im still going
Headlights should be really easy to fit.. take a few mins (keep that £20.00 safe) Halfords will do it for a few pounds
hopefully a nice man at our work will do it for free-wear the eyeliner lol x 0 -
Hope Lula is enjoying her glamorous night out as I type.
Re: free nail polish- I hate that Nails Inc stuff that seems to be free with magazines a lot. OPI is so much nicer at that price range. The No7 ones are ok when bought with vouchers and I find the rimmel 60 second ones rather handy too.
I too have a massive stash of washing powder, mostly persil and loads of Cif/dettol cleaning sprays and bin bags. I'd be sort of embarrassed if non-MSE types looked in the press under my kitchen sink. Surely it's a bit weird that a single childless woman would have 10 spare boxes of washing powder

You can usually have your deliveries sent to your work you know?
I send my deliveries to my parent's as I live reasonably near to them."Follow the money!" - Deepthroat (AKA William Mark Felt Sr - Associate Director of the FBI)

Yeah but carrying 24 tins of beans on the underground would be a bit out of order :rotfl:You can usually have your deliveries sent to your work you know?

You're right.
Far more hilarious to have eaten them first, then gone on the underground..."Follow the money!" - Deepthroat (AKA William Mark Felt Sr - Associate Director of the FBI)

Crikey, no. I already supply the facilities manager with biscuits and flattery just to maintain normal service, receipt of that lot would cost me far too much in favours!
