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.

What a lovely idea dolly84. I am sure they will go down very well. I would love that too - best I get is some chocs which isn't great for the waistline :EasterBun
Still nothing doing on the UU front.

Hugs, Willowbee. How lucky your family was to have had your grandmother for so many years, it does make saying goodbye a little easier, especially when they are clearly ready to go.
Good news on Grape, Trudi, woo-hoo and Rosemary, what a disappointment for you, with the cheap opal ring.
A sort of NBI. I don't usually count dental products but I got sent 500ml of mouthwash to trial. It's new to the market so cannot say more.

My Avon's arrived (and a brochure) so a couple of INs. I am not visiting the naughty step for these as I don't have anything similar in what is basically a non-existent stash anyway.

30 ml Avon Advanced Techniques Moroccan Argan Oil Leave- in Hair Treatment. I also bought the matching shampoo & conditioner as a birthday stocking filler for DD - along with another treatment.
I think it was Moromir who mentioned birthday stockings, something my family has done for a while. I love putting them together, with the knowledge that even if you get one or two things wrong, there will be others that you will get right.

The other IN was a 150 ml Foot Works 'Beautiful' shea butter foot souffle. This has a lovely scent, slightly citrussy, and a gorgeous light formulation, almost a souffle. I'm very impressed.
Speaking of Avon souffles, the chocolate truffle body souffle is losing a bit of its appeal.
Memo to self: I find the smell of chocolate first thing a bit sickly.
I'll probably forget; after all I forgot that the Original Source chocolate and mint shower cream I had last year didn't appeal either...

One more UU for me today

Clarins Gentle Foaming Cleanser 125ml WBA nice product really makes skin feel lovely, so its going on my cleanser short list.

This is my 5th full sized item I've used up this month.

Well done. That's when it gets really satisfying isn't it?

UU, one of the Cucumber moisturisers I had that I was using with the Olay. WIBA? no, dont think so (have one other one) need to find myself a HG moisturiser.

No. 7 Essential Moisture day cream - this has been a real LHJ, I used to like it but have more recently realised it doesn't really suit my combination skin (in fairness it designed for normal/dry skin), so have been alternating it with other things. I've mainly gone back to it when my skin has reacted to something else which happens now and again and is a bit dryer than usual, when it needs a bit of TLC. The kind of thing I wouldn't actually buy again but would use if someone gave it to me or it was in a gift set, GWP etc. Can't use the P&P moisturisers as I have a very bad reaction to those but like the intense serum and also the foaming cleanser from the Beautiful Skin range so can usually find something to spend the vouchers on. :rotfl:

Hi ladies. I would hearily recommend Liz Earle Skin Repair Moisturiser. You can buy it in three different variations - Normal/combination, dry/sensitive and light (meant for more oily skin). I've tried them all and not one of them feels uncomfortable. It might be worth ordering a travel size from the LE website to try first.

Morning all!
Had a no spend day yesterday as well

A friend gave me another bottle of bourjois magic np remover and cg luxe n lush so I am declaring those IN's but still didn't spend a

Morning All. Weather back to normal I see after two nice days. The Great Yorkshire Show was cancelled for the first time in its very long history due to the weather. Very sad for everyone involved. My DH had to go there for work yesterday and he said there was an area where some lovely gardens had been built, all planted up with summerhouses on display and water features etc and the guys were taking them all down. It must have cost companies a lot of money at a time when they can ill afford it.

I have two uu today, Sainsburys active naturals shower gel in Coconut milk and lime - lovely stuff, am quite sad to see this go as they don't do it anymore.

Also Rice milk and vanilla body lotion from the same range, both of these were 50ml sizes and again it isn't available now. This was lovely, very subtle white chocolate smell, sank in immediately and leaves skin so soft. Boo Hoo that it's gone.

Am moving on to a half full bottle of BS Moringa shower gel and matching body butter. The shower gel will outlast the body butter I think.

well the good news is I sold 8/9 toiletry items on ebay....bad news is got the total princely sum of £15.87:(this was for Clarins/Occitane stuff GWPs but worth much more than that:(:(I had looked at completed listings to gauge if it was worth it but think I did a lot worse:(:(:(spent an hour packing stuff up and won't make anything on postage as even tho light weight P.O rules mean I still pay min £2.20:(:(:(:(....er why am I doing this????
makes you think is it worth buying stuff for GWPs when you could just get them cheap on ebay :rotfl:

on a brighter note got a refund for the ring but will have to pay return postage,says she is a pensioner having to sell stuff but it really was cheap and nasty!

raining again BTW!so do I really want to go to P.O van???

Hi all

I have some UU to report from the last week:

Herbal Essences Split End Shampoo 400ml - WIUA? Yeah nice enough, wouldn't go out of my way to buy but would get some if on offer
Herbal Essences Split End Conditioner 400ml - As above
Boots Brazil Nut Body Butter 200ml - WBA but not sure if they still do it
Body Shop Cocoa Butter Creamy Body Wash 250ml - WNBA this was a tough one to UU as I didn't really like the smell. Moving onto another Body Shop one I don't like much either!
Radox Chamomile & Jojoba Hand Wash 300ml - WBA
Sasy n Savy Rose Lavender Hand n Nail Repair Creme 5ml - WIBA? This was nice but quite expensive so unless I happened across it on offer (which is unlikely) I prob won't buy again.
L'Occitane Immortelle Brightening Moisture Cream 1ml - This was nice enough but it was hard to tell from one sample!

I do have some Ins though. I got the Ren stuff from Red and the Balance Me from Glamour. I also got a Dove Shower Gel to get 100 nectar points! I went to Boots with Mum and she bought me some S&G stuff as I was curious as not used it before.

Balance Me Pure Skin Face Wash 50ml
Balance Me Balancing Face Moisuriser 20ml
Balance Me Rote Otto Intensive Lip Salve 10ml
Balance Me Wonder Eye Cream 7ml
Ren Hydra-Calm Day Cream 15ml
Ren Active 7 Radiant Eye Gel 5ml
Ren Vetiver v7 Hand & Body Cream 15ml
Dove Nourishing Body Wash 250ml
Soap & Glory Clean Mary Cleansing Milk 180ml
Soap & Glory The Righteous Butter 50ml
Soap & Glory Clean Girls Body Wash 500ml
Soap & Glory Flake Away 50ml
Soap & Glory Scrub em and Leave em 50ml
Soap & Glory Rich & Foamous 500ml
Soap & Glory Wash Your Hands of It 250ml

This more than compensates for the UU! I do have quite a few splutterers though like my Simple toner and moisturiser that just seem to keep going and going!!

Sending lots of hugs to Willowbee!

Took your advice and bought some new shampoo and conditioner and relegated the Tigi to the bathroom cupboard for now! (does this mean I haven't graduated now then? lol)

So I'm declaring my IN's just so you know what I bought!

- Naked Curls Shampoo
- Naked Curls Conditioner
- Naked Mousse
- Naked Serum
- Naked Intense Conditioner sachet
- Naked Orange shower Gel
- Aveeno Moisturising Creamy Oil

The Naked hair stuff was on 2 for £6 and I have no mousse or serum left and I am almost out of shower gel and body lotion.

I'm liking this only buying things when I need them! But sometimes using things up is a chore!

Had a little disapointment stash wish last night, I went into the stash to get another hand cream out, but found another bottle of showergel. Had thought I was close to getting rid of it all and now have another bottle to use up. Was actually looking forward to being able to buy more. So now have 2 open, 2 in stash and a mini for holiday.
