    Sorry to hear about your Grandmother Willowbee. Hugs to you and your family.

    I have a little uu, Champneys Dream Bath, this is a lavender scented bubble bath, I love Champneys and I love lavender but found I had to use a lot of this to get enough bubbles, this was a gwp size and I had to open another of the same size to use with it so that one will be gone soon. WNBA.

    I have one more UU

    Crabtree & Evelyn La Saource Hand Therapy 50ml WBA really liked it. Will get another hand cream out of the stash tonight, think I have some other ones that are already open that need using up.

    so annoyed with myself:(bought a ring on ebay that had a poor photo.I had clicked gold rings 9ct and it was only when I had bid on it I realised it was only silver(no way I can prove that of course) The woman had 100% feedback so thought I'd take a chance....BIG mistake:mad::mad:she will take reurns but that means I lose £2 postage to buy it plus return postage.It was described as gorgoeus opal and emerald ring....it looks like it came out of a lucky bag,the opal has no sheen on it and looks like stone(I do have opal rings so know what they should look like) and the worst thing is there is a gap between the stone and setting that is not even level:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:I have emaile dher to say how disapointed I am and think she should give me a full refund postage included,what do you ladies think?Last time I complained to ebay about a ring that was sold as a size O and was in fact a size L all they did was get my postage refunded and I was stuck with the ring(the seller said well sell it on but no one bid for it)I would not even try and sell the ring I just bought as it is so lightweight and tacky:(:(:(:(okay so it only cost a few pounds but even so I think it is against trade description.
    sorry to rant but am so annoyed to be duped by this woman.

    I try hard to describe things properly and don't see why people can get away with things like this....watch this space

    Willowbee - such sad news, hope that you are finding strength from the long and full life your Grandmother had. Take care of yourself too - it's so easy at times like this to forget that you need to look after yourself in order to be there for your family.

    Sending hugs

    Rosemary - hope you get your money back the bad photo was obviously to disguise the poor quality of the ring.

    Willowbee- i'm sorry to hear of your loss. Look after yourself!


    I have an out: Andrew Collinge brunette hair conditioner- WNBA as it was nothing amazing and expensive for a product that didn't do alot.

    A couple of ins from the SpaceNK sale oops.

    Chanticaille Real Skin Compact Foundation - £10 instead of £47 :o
    a By Terry Lip Definer in Rouge - £5

    I'm chalking these up as being part of my quest to be travel friendly for Japan next year.

    The lip pencil has a lip brush on the end and comes with a sharpner, a foundation compact would be great for on the go and lighter than my glass bottle foundations.

    UUs:
    MAC Fix+ travel size - WBA does what it says on the tin. Using up my Urban Decay All Nighter spray at the moment.
    Toni&Guy Nourish Reconstruction Mask 'Deep Conditioning' - WBA I really liked this - used mostly as a normal conditioner. WBA once I've used all the others up.
    Jo Malone - Pomegrante Noir vial. WBA if I had lots of money! Lurrrveee this.


    Just wanted to say a massive thanks to Ilovecakes - she sent me a bottle of Lancome Genifique for my mum to use up which was amazingly generous - she gift wrapped the package in lovely green tissue and sent some skin cream samples and a Lancome Visionnaire sample as well - mum's over the moon. Thank you so much :D

    Did succumb to the Glamour freebies but just went for the eye cream. In my defence I don't have any more eye cream in the stash and told myself I'd never pick one up when I needed it for £2.00.
    Did owe £9,951.96

    Now helping hubby pay off loan. Finally paid off :j

    Owe Virgin [STRIKE]£5,950.00 [/STRIKE]at 0% til June 2009 £3,427.89. Owe HSBC [STRIKE]£5,460.78 [/STRIKE]2.9% til May 2010 £3,703.07. Owe Post Office £1,676.62 at 0% til September 2010

    I have 10 easy outs, I have made up some end of term teacher gifts from the stash, these are all travel size and I have wrapped them in pretty cellophane with a ribbon:

    Sanctuary Body Wash & Body Scrub - 2 sets of this
    Mandara Spa Honeymilk Dream body wash & Hand Cream - 2 sets
    Champneys Skin comfort body wash & Citrus Glow body lotion

    They look really nice and I would be happy to receive one.

    Maddiemay - well done in making it so far this month without purchases.
