    Sorry about your bunnies VALM, when I was younger one of mine got killed by a fox and I felt awful as I hadn't shut it up in its hutch properly. Also sorry about your break up uk_american, hope you get to do all the things that you couldn't do with him.

    2 UUs L'Occitane Delice des Fleurs Rose & Violette handcream, this one smelt too much like palma violets for me. Will go back to the l'occitane 20% shea butter handcream - although unfortunately have another palma violet in my stash!

    Also used up the tube of conditioner that comes with hair dye.

    No INs all week!!

    Sorry about your bunnies VALM

    I've been to the Lush workshop and got 3 samples of skincare stuff and the massive pot of face mask and treated myself to the ocean salt face scrub...been after this for ages, smells so nice and fresh and a Govinda shampoo bar ready for hols.
    Debt free and busy treating myself:)

    No more toiletries/make up until I've used what I've got stashed since Jan 2011, graduated October 2012. Restocked Dec 13..damn those sales

    Aww Poor bunnies - Sorry to hear that Valm.

    Also uk american, sorry about your break up too. I don't know if I could been that strong after such a thing.

    The mystery of my spotty cheeks has been resolved. It is my old clinique blush. Since I stopped using it my cheeks have cleared up so out it goes...

    I had hoped for no IN's this month but I did have to buy another dry shampoo. I don't need anything else so I will not be spending anything else.

    Oh VALM. I'm so sorry about your bunnies :( My Mum forgot to put her favourite hen back in the run last week and she was taken by the fox. It's so sad to lose loved animals :(

    (((UK American))) I agree that you're sounding very positive and brave. Hugs to you and I hope you get to go adventuring :)

    Hugs to Lady Morticia as well - I hope that you're feeling a little better. :)

    I hope that everyone has had a lovely Mother's Day. :A

    Back on topic - I'm stuck with a load of splutterers!

    Itzybitzy - I'm enjoying using the Taj cleanser as well :)

    Hello peeps, dscovered a good way to save money in Boots, I forgot when I said I wanted to pop in that my mum really really hates perfume (it makes her cough and she worries it will bring on an athsma attack) so she power walks past all the good bits ;)

    Bathroom has been gutted, had a few TAs, and had a lecture on having too many toothpastes ;)
  • So sorry, to hear about your bunnies VALM, how awful :( Also sorry about your breakup uk_american.

    Have used up my mini Benefit eye cream and a Lush Hot Milk bubble bar. However I made a Lush order last night so I'll have some INs this week!

    NPA thread makes me worse, just encourages me to buy more nail polish to try new things!! :D

    I do look at the lovely polishes and think it would be so nice to have all matching stuff or maybe just more than my mis matched ones :)

    I think I'd begrudge using my shower gels on them zombies!

    I actually really like this programme because there isn't much zombie feasting and it's more about their society as a whole. Sounds like the finale is going to be really good.

    Absolutely. I've also been in tears at times. The bit where the last walker came out of the barn? I did not see that one coming.

    I feel really miserable. Two of our bunnies were killed in our garden on Friday night. We feel so irresponsible because we forgot they were outside. I think it was a cat that got them.

    I'm so sorry about your bunnies. Would a cat do that?

    I LOVE this! I have the body lotion and the eau de toilette. Didnt know there was a handcream....oooh tempting.

    Sorry about your break up UK American. You're doing the right thing by thinking about all the good stuff in your future. Just keep telling yourself that you're fabulous and it's his loss. I used to force myself to get over break ups by telling myself that I could have one week, max, of being sad and then I had to move on.
