OK I'll count it then

On the plus side, despite watching a whole hour of Liz Earle on QVC yesterday I didn't order anything

I can't bring myself to watch a whole hour of LE anymore. I find all the guests including Liz really drab to listen to.

must have been the same time last year as the day it came out I was in Luton airport waiting to go to tenerife(and am off again this year,can't wait esp after snow)I bought 3 mags in order to get the freebies I wanted and left two in the cafe for others to read after taking off the goodies:)....hope to get some again this year as off on the 1st so it may not be out by then:(

When DH promised me 8 inches in the morning I was not thinkingh he meant snow:(

ooer Missus! Whereabouts in Tenerife do you stay Rosemary? We love the Costa Adeje area.

Have repainted my nails and am now wearing OPI You Don't Know Jacques.

2 UU:
Lavender Cuticle Exfoliator.
This wasn't a particular brand, it came in a grab bag and I didn't really care for the scent, so I used it everyday in the shower to exfoliate my cuticles. The particles were too small, and I didn't really see a difference, so I'm glad it's done and out of my stash

Origins Plantscription Anti-aging eye treament - this was such a small sachet, that I couldn't honestly tell if I liked it or not. I liked that it didn't give me any adverse reaction though I hope to get a bigger deluxe sample of this one day, so I can test it out properly.

2 GA's:
False eyelash set (8x)
YSL lip brillance #2
Gave both to friends

Bunberry please can you let me know how you get on as I struggle with stubborn blackheads too:o

Sure thing! I've only been using it for 2 days so far and can't say I've noticed any changes, but with skincare products apparently you have to use them consistently for at least 3 weeks to see any results, so fingers crossed!

Here's an article about blackheads you might find useful http://www.cosmeticscop.com/i-have-blackheads-what-caused-them.aspx

Here are some reviews of the lotion I purchased (US site has more reviews than the UK site)

los christianos at the mare nostrum resort,it is really nice (tho pricey!) but we booked direct this year as cheaper than going through cosmos and also we don't have to pay till we check out unlike Cosmos who want the money 10 weeks before:mad:there is a lovely spa there too and we will be having a massage or some other treat:)

I never wanted this colour because I had never liked it. I bought Essie Mink Muffs first but that just looked dull and muddy on my nails. This bottle came in a QVC TSV and I was intent on selling it but then I tried it on and fell in love with it.

We usually stay in a timeshare at Costa Adeje but last time we went we stayed at the Bahia Princess hotel which was gorgeous. We priced it up the following year and it had jumped from £600 ish each to £900.!

Hi i'm in again. will add my stash list shortly but more importantly Congratulations Lyndsey on the birth of your new son, wishing you a lifetime of love, laughter and happiness.

Has anyone ever used the Paul Mitchell moisture surge shampoo? i have some which i've finally opened and it smells and has the texture/runniness of cheap washing up liquid and i'm not sure if it's off because it's 2 years old or if that's how it usually it. If it wasn't for the conditioner, which is really nice, my hair would be a matted birds nest after using it. Any ideas or thoughts?

ok my stash list, I reduced the stash by 17 items last month by fair means or foul. I've got 132 items left in my stash. Seem to be left with tonnes of LHJ's though and now i'm up against the fact i've loads of shower gels but they're now in boxes ready for moving and i'm now thinking that i'll need to start a new one before we move but i'm not sure which of the boxes my stash is in. argh i hate living in a cardboard city at the moment!

If you get bored with it again, try doing a light shimmer or gold glitter on top of it, it looks really nice that way. I usually use YDKJ as a base and then do a french tip with a different colour like a dark blue, or just painting the accent nail with the glitter. It's such a modern classic I have two bottles of it myself.

Speaking of taupe, I havejust done my nails in Jermyn Street by nails inc (a kinda pinky taupeyness) with french tips in sparkley silver.

Can you tell I should be writing an assignment
