a UU

avon planet spa shea butter mask-WNBA-it was lovely but not right for my skin, and surprise surprise, avon have discontinued it.

and I decanted my 60ml BS coconut shower gel into the 400ml bottle.

yeah
I've decided to chuck the face mask. Still have a few more to use though!
Do I count it as a UU??
Strictly speaking I haven't used it up. In fact, it's the opposite.

Yip I would count it as a UU

I am almost at the end of my No7 exfoliater tube. I use a facial scrub once a week on a Saturday so fingers crossed that it will be a UU tomorrow.

Not much else is happening on the UU front.

I've had a lovely bath. Changed the blade on my razor, shaved my bikini line, did a face mask, got out and epilated my legs and then smothered myself in body lotion. Got complimented last night by a patient who liked the smell of my body lotion although she did think it was perfume until I shoved my arm in her face and said "Is it this?" as I'd forgotten to put perfume on. The other patients must have thought we were nuts!
I've also put on some of TBS hemp foot cream. I need to bring my feet back into line.

I've decided (!) that this years weather is going to be like last year so we're going to have summer from Mid March to end of April. I'm going to start preparing for summer now and get my skin all lovely and smooth in readiness.
I'm liking the epilator, I expected it to hurt lots more than it actually does. I did expect to feel smoother but perhaps this will come with more use?

Hello lovely ladies,

I used to belong to this thread a couple of years ago.
I have a massive stash, too much to list. I never really got into the spirit of the challenge.
Not wishing to make excuses but life intervened, family illnesses and bereavement and all the MSE stuff just had to take a back seat. I have been lurking since the New Year and I probably won't post a lot. But I am blown away by the size of some of your Stashes (Kipling Monkey not only is your Stash awesome, but the fact that you took the time to post your spreadsheet is too). I feel in good company and I do hope it doesn't encourage me to buy more!! I have recently disposed of 6 black bags full of "gone off products". I am not proud of this. I am going to try to UU my lovely stuff that is still in date. My speciality was always buying products opening them practically as I leave the shop, then using half up before going on to the next thing, then the next thing. So good luck to us all for 2012. I hope we all get as much pleasure and enjoyment from our stuff as we can and by the end of the year free up some space in the bathroom, bedroom (and kitchen !!) cupboards xx

Kaz, the same thing happened to me last night at work too! Was wearing the Lush Vanilla Dee-lite lotion and a patient asked me if there was someone making creme brulee! Made me chuckle!

Kipling -would it be cheeky to ask how many kipling bags you have as I know many people collect them? :D

Not cheeky at all but you have to promise not to be shocked - probably between 30-40...I need to sell some on Ebay as there are some I don't really use - finding the perfect bag is a bit like finding ther HG and some I just don't get along with like the Fairfax - too many pockets, not the right size for me. I know it is one of their best selling styles but it just doesn't do it for me. Just need the time to have a good sort out. At least they pack flat so don't take up lots of space. I have a lovely red Palm beach vanity case so perhaps I should be aiming to reduce my stash so that it all fits in there - one day......

I have a few splutterers at the moment so will hopefully be back soon with some UU news!

Hi salesaddict, I remember you from before. Do you still detour through M&S every morning or have you changed jobs?

Hi, haven't gone through any of the posts for the last couple of days as we have been busy but I was looking at a homemade deep conditioner recipe when came across this site. It basically tells you how safe the Products you are using are. I don't know how correct the data is but may be it's of interest to someone.

Just to point out, it's not Pudsey who has 1326 items, she was expressing sock/surprise/ admiration (maybe? ) at kiplingmonkeys stash total.
I think (that is!).

Shock! :eek: definately!! Followed by sheer amazement that she actually took the time to count them all

How do you manage to shave your bikini line? On the few occasions I've done that I've ended up with a red itchy rash or days after! I have to use hair removal cream instead.

Not a good night. Faulty house alarm gone off again so we're all wide awake now plus come out in rash on chest where I used some odd smelling LE body moisturiser after a bath last night. At least face has calmed down after the face mask debacle. Oh dear.
