    Scrappie that is brilliant news! :beer: Congrats, you must be so pleased!

    One more tiny IN slipped through for May for me:

    Benefit The POREfessional 7.5ml - free with Glamour, also got the mascara, really wanted the primer but didn't have any in any of the shops near me - no doubt they'll be on Ebay if I decide I want one badly enough.

    Came home to a mystery parcel tonight, turned out to be a prize from the Glamour giveaway - Dainty Doll Good Gosh Miss Molly Mascara and Eyeliner Duo - was over the moon, I have literally never won anything before. :T Thanks to Mad_Scientist for the heads up on that. You might still have won something yet, this was the prize for Day 6 and only arrived today so I'm sure there's plenty more to go out.

    Got the LIB email today about the latest Ed's box, really uninspired by it so not tempted at all :A yay

    Last IN for May, a Glamour freebie:

    That Gal primer sample.

    I've already tried Bad Gal (previous Glamour freebie) and Porefessional (Boots freebie) and haven't been impressed.

    I have a Glamour freebie at my BFs house (no idea what it is yet) but also started a new subscription for Galmour last month to my own address as they were giving away 2 x NAils Inc nail varnishes for a new subscriotion. Well the delivery came to my BFS house but not to mine :mad: but they've taken the money so will need to contact them tomorrow.
    No more UUs but think I am doing ok :)
    Life is a coin, you can spend it anyway you wish, but you can only spend it once.
    Go as far as you can see, and when you get there you'll see further.
    Take time but don't waste time

    Well done Scrappie - thats fantastic !!! Did you claim by yourself or did you use a company? I got told that even though I hadnt signed up for any PPI type of things, becuase i dont pay my cards off all in one go I would probably atuomatically have it added on - but ive got no idea how to find that out (im sure theres somewhere on here that will tell me how to claim it back - it worked wonders wiuht the credit card thing!)

    one IN to report - but not a naughty step one,cos i dotn have any and havent ever had it - the Porefessional thing from Glamour. I bought two (ignored the mascara and there wasnt any of the third thing) so hope I like it !!
    Not anticipating any outs before midnight - so will just see everyone on the next thread :)

    welcome newbies !!

    I am staying in a layby off the motorway :eek: otherwise known as the Carlise Preimer Inn. Gonna juke about some of the smaller towns like Hexham, Kendal and the like for a spot of shopping, cake eating at tea shops and chilling out.

    Not into the Vampire Diaries - I'm a True Blood fan instead.

    We have stayed at the Kendal Premier Inn a couple of times. I like them. They are cheap and cheerful. When you go to Kendal head to the Brewery Arts Centre as it's a lovely place to sit and enjoy a glass of wine/beer and their "legendary" pizzas are lovely. Kendal castle is a great walk and there are amazing views from up there.

    I've never watched True Blood. Read the first book and enjoyed it but never got round to reading any more. The Vamps in TVD are much sexier though. x
    i miss it too, I've been getting it from the US so i have a few episodes saved up waiting to be watched. gossip girl has finished too :(



    the next season is on in the US soon, i cant believe we are a complete season behind them now! and then they wonder why people get it from the US!

    have you read the books?

    I think we're hitting that spot where all the present TV seasons are coming to an end. There aren't many shows left of Dexter and I always really miss that when it's not on.

    I can't say I'm really loving anything else that I'm watching at the mo which includes Alcatraz, Grimm and Once upon a Time.

    Re: your comment on us being so behind the US I'm still waiting for Supernatural Season 7 to be aired here. It's about time.
    Back for the No Buying Toiletries challenge. I pledge to only buy when I run out of a product that is not already in my stash no matter what wonderful emails land in in my Inbox or threads I read on MSE re: glitches!
