    Wanted to say how helpful this thread is. Been following it in Jan and got my stash under control with quite a few UU's, although did cave in and do a l'Occitane order to get a free handcream and bought one boots gift set in the sale. Will do a proper inventory at the weekend.

    Go as far as you can see, and when you get there you'll see further.

    I haven't been near the mag racks to see what lovely GWP are on the go. I don't buy mags unless the GWP is something I use/want to try.

    same as me, :o I did hear that Easy Living £2 which is out tomorrow has a L'Octaine 30ml handcream RRP £7.50 so may be tempted with that although did get a free one last week through facebook.
    I have 1 UU Original Source white pear and avocado shower gel, nice but prefer the tea tree one.

    Just bought the green people groupon, but its for thomas's orange toothpaste. He hates mint, and is autistic about flavours, but finds this Mandarin from green people palateable.

    Bless him he had quite dry lips and asked me to buy him watermelon flavour lip balm. It starts young in our house ;)

    Fab news about the baba, Lindseydee!

    Cheers for beginning the new thread, Trudij.

    Had NPI today. On Wednesdays I have an off-site meeting and have to walk through the centre of Leeds. Not sure why I walk through Boots, maybe it's cos I find it comforting. Anyway, I had a £1 voucher for Aussie stuff burning a hole so picked up a bottle of conditioner. Do I need it? You know the answer. At the till the SA said, "oh, we've had loads of trouble with these. They only work on the 400ml size and we haven't got any out". Actually felt relief! I said, '"never mind, I'll leave it" and left Boots feeling very calm and zen (an unusual state of affairs).

    Also one UU. Molton Brown warming Eucalyptus shower gel. WIBA? You bet. It was lovely. I'd had it ages in a gift set but was reluctant to try it cos I thought, "eucalyptus, throat sweets, yuck". How wrong I was. It smelled lovely. Too expensive to buy for every day but gorge nonetheless. My hands still smell beautiful hours after using it!

    Sarah, you said that you'd lost a post. Happens to me all the time! Are you using an iPad? My husband denies that the iPad software is at fault and blames the website, but I remain unconvinced.

    Forgot to say, Absinthe Fairy, you must surely derive some pride from having a stash that defies posting in a single instalment!!!
