    Some more used ups to report:

    22. Scholl Deep Moisturising Cream (20ml) - WNBA (it's boring!)
    23. Goodworks Good Looking Body Lotion (200ml) - WBA Love this but I don't think that Boots stock it anymore. It will be years before I need to buy any body lotion though...
    24. Elemis Pro-Radiance Cream Cleanser (150ml) - my HG cleanser, so WBA if I didn't have more in stock ;)
    25. Green People Fruitful Nights (10ml) - WNBA as this irritated my skin. Such a disappointment! Thank goodness it was only a beauty box sample.

    I still have a basket full of old/spluttering things that I'm targeting. It's a very slow way to tidy up but very satisfying :rotfl:

    I am going to try a non sls shampoo when my current splutterer dies. Only because theres no room in the bathroom for anything more at the minute. But have a weleda one waiting to go!

    LOL! just tried to rub on some body lotion, Hmm has this gone off I thought, its a bit strange. Read the bottle a bit closer .. perfumed body shampoo... D'oh!!!

  • One OUT yesterday - Original Source Black Pepper and Cardamom Shower Gel. Probably WNBA as whilst it did lather up nicely and didn't dry out my skin too much I wasn't that keen on the smell; it seemed a bit too 'masculine', so not for me.

    Now onto Lush Iced Wine shower jelly - I'm trying to get rid of all the stuff from last Christmas before the end of the winter.

    Hello Ladies!

    May I join you for March please?? I seem to rejoin late each month as the chaos that is my life just overtakes me.

    I have done OK so far this month - only one 'in' a much needed bro gel. Did not do so good at the end of last month -

    bought 4:eek: Laura Geller TSV's....but there was a good reason for it!

    B&B is my HG product, and is always OOS in 'fair', so I do usually buy more than one. The TSV also included a 60ml primer, mine had just run out and so I needed to get another, as it's something I always use. The cost of 1 B&B and 1 spackle would have been more than the cost of the TSV. So it really was a money saving excercise!!


    Can't get my stupid signature to add this bit - apparently I have 6 lines already - last time I counted it was 4!!! so --Number of UU's in 2012

    Got my Amarya box too, it's not as "good value" as the other boxes but I like the products more. I've been really good and not actually bought anything in a couple of weeks, just UUs and ebay sales :) We dug through the rest of the stuff from CEW at work today and I actually had... nothing! I really don't need dark fake tan or blue eyeliner, I just won't use it so what's the point? Breakthrough!! I've officially gone off coloured products and anything that makes my hair anything other than soft (I don't think I'll ever find a product that gives me volume without making my hair feel funny, I'm looking for a miracle).

    Not strictly on topic but someone just mentioned Cheshire Oaks outlet. I've never actually been to an outlet site, can anyone suggest a good one in the South East, Midlands or anywhere in between?
    Cheshire Oaks sounds good as OH would like the Timberland store(and i'd get a lift wahey) but it's a bit too far north.
