    I was just about to say isn't it just coconut oil..:rotfl:

    well, I sold about 6 things on ebay to the same person (which I posted last week) and they have decided that they don't want to pay the postage (even though I offered combined postage...) but nothing sold for much so I would be making an even bigger loss:mad: so it has been cancelled and the items are still in my stash. I wish they would've asked instead of bidding on everything THEN asking for a discount on postage.

    so that's 6 not-OUTs:(

    anyway 1 UU:

    olay night cream-WNBA
    Toiletry spend £34.95 In: 10 out:13
  • just noticed on FB - theres a sneak peak at this months glossybox gone up online.

    kinda glad i cancelled! at least 4 of the possible items i definitely do not need any more of! :rotfl:


    I have big issues with Glossybox and how they dishonest they were. I cancelled immediately.

    signed up for portuguese taster (5 week) course but the last two language courses I signed up for were cancelled due to lack of interest so not sure it will be on:(
    DH taking me to Loch fyne for a (belated) birthday meal tomorrow just hope the rain stops by then as it is a long walk from the car park!
    using my YSL body butter from last years sale everyday as DH bought me another for Christmas and have hardly used the last one!
    He is being very sweet at the moment:)my petrol light came on in my car yesterday all of a sudden and I was in a panic I would run out(nearest petrol is 6 miles away) so he drove behind me today to make sure I got there:):)....£76 pounds late:eek::eek::eek::eek:(my 1st car only cost £20:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
  • i have some INs. DH was an idiot and so i hit the shops.

    Benefit ooh la lift - powderflage is gone so I'm trying layering this and erase paste for now.
    Benefit erase paste - not feeling bad about this, i only had dregs in my other one and the dregs are now in:
    Bobbi Brown empty palette - I've decanted the erase paste dregs, boing dregs, pot rouge dregs, gel eyeliner dregs and dregs of 2 cream eyeshadows into this so i now have what feels like a whole new palette to take to the gym with me and makes it easier to finish the other stuff up.
    Bare minerals set with: primer, mascara, eye shadow, mineral veil, brush and lip gloss. - i don't have excuses for this apart from it looked pretty and I've wanted it for weeks :rotfl:

    I have big issues with Glossybox and how they dishonest they were. I cancelled immediately.

    what did they do?

    Oh Kaz, I felt your pain about the pink lip balm staining your clothes! Try vanish oxy action.

    I've got a UU to report. Lush 'Miranda' soap. It is named after Carmen Miranda apparently, being heavy on the fruity stuff. WIBA? It was nice, but no. That is because it only lasted for 8 showers, it's not as if I've got a big surface area to cover either. That's not much for a block of soap costing £5.

    Now broken into a Molton Brown eucalyptus shower gel, it is nice for cold mornings.

    I have a load of splutterers and near splutterers that I am unreasonably excited about, am I weird?

    Asset, I'm sorry to hear about your difficult experiences at work. Take comfort from this: it takes incredible courage to stand up to a bully.

    Ive got an out - its in my bin unless anyone wants it... Tresemme colour lock hair stuff. you put it on before you blow dry/natural dry your hair. I dont like it, its very runny and Ive got loads of hair things like this that i dont use as it is.

    Actually - thinking about it, i may try using it on Reds tail - might do things to that to make it look pretty (though its unlikely!!)

    i think the one i'm on now was a gwp at some point! it always seemed to be given away. this was my third pot and i think i only paid full price for the first! i bet thats why its gone.

    the girl in boots said they haven't had any in store for at least a year. its sold out on asos and lookfantastic too. still on the American site thou! :mad: i may have to eak this one out til i go to the us and buy out any i see.

    she completely tried to give the hard sell on the eye cream and getting me to book in for a make over. looked at me like i had two heads when i said i have too much in my stash already and I'm not buying more until i have no more left even if it is a miraculous eye cream with a money back guarantee. also thought i was mental for refusing a make over because if i try it, i'll want it and i dont want to buy more so the easiest thing to do is not to try it in the first place. i think us ladies are a breed SA aren't trained for yet :rotfl:
