    Two more UU BS macedamia straightening balm, WBA but thought I best UU my expensive Lancome balm first...forgotten how nice it smells mmm. Also a big bottle of snow fairy, still one more small one in the stash and mum is going to give me hers as it made her sore.
    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

    Well used the St Ives body lotion tonight, don't think there really is much left and it took a ridiculous amount of effort to get any out. I am determined to get every drop out, but it may defeat me.

    Sometimes you just have to admit defeat.

    Gave away an Essence Nail Polish. It was in a colour that changed from green to purple depending on how you held your hands. My sons told me it was for a teenager. But I had a good weekend with it and it was only a $1.04. So now the oldest will see it on his girlfriend's hands.

    Will never need to buy an eyeshadow pallette again. I've learnt my lesson. Will only buy singles in specific colours.

    Decided I really want to get MI-5 (Spooks) on DVD. So that's my ambition. Every time I pass on a gwp promotion, I'll get a set. And no, I've been good and avoided finding out how it ends, we've only just started with Harry's son arriving in London.

    Enjoy your time at the spa. Let us know what treatment(s) you have. The spa on board my cruise ship uses Elemis so I may treat myself on my hols to a massage or facial.


    Oh oh oh ...........I'm doing a RC cruise in September too - flying to Rome on the 15th to join the ship and then doing the 12 night Holy Land cruise. I've never done a cruise before so am really excited :D

    VALM - how did you find out what products the spa uses??

    OT - I'm just back from a week in Tunisia where I've notched up a few UU's (mainly samples) but to ruin the good work, have just bought a bottle of Happy Hair shampoo to try after some one on here mentioned it....as if I need more shampoo....just been and counted and there are 11 opened bottles already on the go in the bathroom :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

    Had to take Lucy cat to the vets tonight as she's been very poorly today and shes now in kitty heaven:cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry: feeling so sad

    Well done Rosemary & Val on your achievements. :T:T

    I am sure I'd lose weight if DS would work away for a while, there was a murmur of his going to India with work but it seems to have died down. But as for no spends like Val... well...
    Not the naughty step exactly, but spends... my Avon order came.

    The Avon Planet Spa Chocolate Truffle Body Souffle is in a lovely presentation gift box. My daughter doesn't use lotions and potions the way I do, otherwise I'd put it to one side to give to her.
    My sister is very cautious on what she puts on her skin because of the radiotherapy she had and my friends don't pamper the way I do ... So much as I would like to give it away as it really does look lovely, it looks as if I will use it. It's sealed, which is useful, so it won't go off whilst I wait to use it.
    Avon Skin so Soft Dry Oil Spray- other one has nearly run out.
    Avon Raspberry & Hibiscus Hair Refresher Spray- don't have a product like this.

    Do any of you do My Surveys? Check your inbox if you fancy some freebies, I've just done a survey that said I wouldn't get points.. Oh well I thought, I'll do it anyway.

    The reason there were no points became clear, I was offered some freebies to test, :j better not say too much more but I'll declare them as Non Bought Ins when they arrive.

    Edit. Oh Bunnykins!! Huge hugs but well done on doing the right thing. It's so hard to say goodbye, it takes a lot of courage to end their suffering. Lucy was lucky to have had such a caring owner.
    Erma Bombeck, American writer: "If I had my life to live over again... I would have burned the pink candle, sculptured like a rose, that melted in storage." Don't keep things 'for best' - that day never comes. Use them and enjoy them now.

    one UU - sure deodorant. dont count these as i tend to buy whatever is on offer when i need new, so theres usually at least one in use and one (sometimes two) waiting...

    seem to be starting to stash horses though now - infinately more expensive.... Grape is now at home (well - at the yard!) and the boyf announced tonight that he told the owners of his favourite horse at the yard that we'd like her when she retires-oh - and there was another one down in devon that Ive got my eye on too..... someone stop me !!!!

    anyway - meet Grape everyone!!

    Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup

    How exciting for you - I am scared of horses (due to nearly being trampled by a German mounted policeman when I was about 4) but Grape looks lovely!
