Bubble and Ruby - go for it:D

Bubble - I'm honoured that you say 'do a Scrappie':j:j:j

I feel very calm this morning - think I was putting too much pressure on myself yeaterday. All a little 'overwhelming' for me I think. I'm going to look through the boxes agaion later and see if there is anything else I held onto in a moment of stress.

Just reading this - my 'everday' friends would think me totally crazy - I'm glad you ladies understand me!

Went into Boots today - got the three toothpaste I went in for ( on 3-4-2) AND BOUGHT NOTHING ELSE - DID NOT EVEN LOOK!!!!:eek:

Don't count toothpaste as an 'in' -
a) it's a neccessity
b) usually only buy one at a time - only bought multiple as on offer, so MSE:D

Yay I have 2 more use ups!

Lush snowfairy SG. I have 3 more bottles of this, oops!
VO5 shampoo WBA but I have some other bottles to use first

I have moved a couple of half finished SG's into the shower so they hopefully will be used up soon

You are lucky having the Snowfairy - my daughter was given some for Christmas and when her younger sister filled the bottle up with water when it was still half full she was :mad::mad::mad::mad:. We went to buy some more and couldn't as it is ltd edition and won't be back in the shops until Nov. We bought some of the godmother soap as it smells the same so she has got that to see her through!

No more UU but my Thierry Mugler eau de star arrived so that is an IN to count. Had an email from LIB to say my 2 boxes and Neom luxury sample had been dispatched :j.

Am going to get one of the hand creams out of the stash and stick it in my hand bag. I'm off out in a moment. There have been a few occasions recently where I wished that I was ner some cream because my hands were so cold and sore.

I got ill, kept working, kept having to take more time off and eventually ground myself to a complete standstill. Once I stopped working I think that I just slept for an entire year :eek:

That sounds familiar - the house we lived in before this one I think I sat in the living room maybe a dozen times in the year we were there - the rest of the time I was in bed

Welcome to the group

Oooooooo there's a Facebook group?? Can someone point me in the right direction please???

If you send either myself, xoxo or trudji a PM with a link to your FB profile we'll add you same goes for anyone else who wants to join

I have some UU's and IN's:

UU's:
Alberto Balsalm Conditioner (raspberry I think): WIBA? Yeas - it's a good, cheap stand-by conditioner.
BS Rainforest Shampoo: WIBA? Nope - smelt nasty, far too foamy and getting it out of the bottle towards the end was agony :rotfl:

IN's:
2 x L'oreal Triple Resist (?) Conditioner - bought as I have no conditioner and they were only 83p each with vouchers

I will have to have a word with DD as she seems to eat conditioner - the bottle of AB we just UU lasted barely a fortnight :eek: When I start to use just my HG's I may have to hide them and leave cheaper stuff out for her to use :rotfl:

Now! Can I gently remind the lovely ladies buying all the various beauty boxes that this is a no more toiletries thread. You have obviously joined because you know you don't need to buy anything else - so put down that credit card - walk away from the computer - you do not need to buy anything else!! If you really feel the need to have a random selection of toiletries/make-up delivered once/twice/three times a month why not just get someone else to rummage through your stash and choose the products you have to use for the next month - keeping the element of suprise and reducing your stash at the same time :rotfl:

I should have my list up by the end of the weekend - I'm determined to and that is my goal for this sat/sun.

My flake hamper should be here Monday - I got an email from them saying it was with the courier and it's made me even more curious as it says 'glass items have been packed separately for safety' :huh: :rotfl:

Have a great Friday all :cool:

Yes I know, it is terrible really - I get so tempted though when I hear you all talking about the lovely things you have received. I am hoping that by having the beauty boxes it will stop me from being tempted by more expensive offers but still satisfy my need to have some lovely new beauty item to try, sample and enjoy.

:rotfl::D - my everyday friends do think I am totally crazy - my confession (and I wasn't even drinking - why did I say it???!!) at our Christmas meal (work do) that my toiletries were on a spreadsheet was a real conversation stopper!!

I love coming on the thread and catching up with you all even though sometimes it does mean I have to do time on the naughty step!! My BF who I go to Ragdale with has vowed not to let me out of her sight this year as last year I managed to sneak off while she was having a treatment and buy the Elemis set with the Alice Temperley animal print bag and of course, if you bought 2 items there was a GWP so I ended up with some pro radiance cleanser as well (& the GWP!)...What's more, she has traded in her sports car (with ltd boot space) for a 4x4 so I won't even have the worry that what I buy won't fit in the boot anymore

Just remembered that I have a few INs from a while ago that I won. Will add to the list later,

trudij

I have two INs - though they arent really all ins...


I bought another Elle mag for the mascara - im going to wear this one everyday, and save my Benefit one for when I go out, so the one that i have on the go will soon be out. (still only have 3 in my stash including the new one though )

and I took advantage of the Tresemme shampoo offer in tescos (the big bottles at £2 each) i KNOW im currently trawling through my Auzzie Miracle smells like cats wee stuff, but its not too far from the end now (yay) and then im down to the remains of my Bed Head and nowt else... and Im getting my hair dyed in 3 weeks time, so i thought i may as well get some coloured hair shampoo while it was cheap...

so far no toiletries for my b'day tomrrow - but its tomorrow so you never know....

welcome newbies and hugs to everyone !!

Maybe they aren't sending out emails (or maybe you only get an email when free box is due?). I won't worry about it till next year then.
