Went to the BS to get my birthday giftbut couldn't decide, thought I'd go back tomorrow. Looking for something that can be used as a gift.
Welcome to all the newbies
ILife 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 -
I have just ordered 7 BS Body Butters, but they are all to put away as birthday pressies for during the year. With a code thats on HDUK. 200ml body butters for £3 each!! I did however also get myself a small tube of Hemp Hand Cream as it's on sale for £2.50 and it's the only cream that really works well on my feet, I used my last one up before Christmas.0

Yay another UU! Sure Clear Diamond Deodorant. WNBA because it was rubbish. I've tried other Sure deodorants and they work well so I wonder if it's the 'no white marks' ingredient that makes it less effective?!Sealed Pot Challenge Number 1225

Welcome aboard newbies - what a lot of new people we've got joining at the moment! Welcome back to a few oldies too!
I've got a couple of splutterers I think - S&G Fab Pore Hot Cloth cleanser and Avon MagiX Cashmere finish foundation. I have other cleansers to continue with and a new foundation in the drawer - as and when a particularly good Avon deal comes along again then I'll put another one into stock - I can afford to sit tight and wait for the right deal though, the last one only cost me about £1.50 from memory! The handcream I have on my desk at my Client's office is also getting a bit low....as and when it reaches the point where it needs cutting open I'll bring it home.
I see what people mean about the Radley redesign by the way - I can't see me getting tempted by too many of those!🎉 MORTGAGE FREE (First time!) 30/09/2016 🎉 And now we go again…New mortgage taken 01/09/23 🏡
Balance as at 01/09/23 = £115,000.00 Balance as at 31/12/23 = £112,000.00

Oh my days I NEED to join this thread! Now I can't say I won't buy any gift sets when the boots 75% sale gits... BUT they will only be for giving as gifts this year and NOT for myself, so I won't count them.
However as a toiletry addict who works for both Avon and Boots... I could really use a few months of no buying toiletries! I will try and make a list of all my bits on Saturday when I am off, but I have a feeling it may be an almost impossible task lol. May be easier to just name them as I use them up?0
