Good luck - I know the feeling. DH went to look for travel plug and discovered where I had been hiding some nv this morning! :eek:. When I return from hols I will be doing some serious decluttering.

I reckon I probably have at least 3 or 3 travel adapters 'somewhere' but have a feeling I will end up buying another one as there aren't enough hours in the day to try to find one!

btw what's 'nv'?

Hope you have a lovely holiday (if you read this before you leave)

Happy hols, Kipling Monkey :beer:

Noelphobic - NV = nail varnish

Evilsquid - that Jouer case looks lovely :j

I have a small UU:

74. Crabtree & Evelyn Gardeners Hand Therapy (25g) - lovely but WNBA as it isn't my fave scent

I will have another UU later

Well, I managed a successful trip to Boots today - only bought shaving foam and mouthwash. Given I ran out of shaving foam a few weeks ago and had been making do with conditioner and I only have an inch of mouthwash left in my only bottle I think I can consider both of those necessary.

Avoided the advantage point and the temptation that goes with it and didn't look at the special offers on other products (what I did buy was on special offer).

Hello ladies!!!!!!!

Wow, I just can't seem to find the time to catch up properly with this thread. So I'm just going to quickly say hello and hope everyone is doing well and happy

UU: Lush - love lettuce - fav face scrub from them and wba.

Another UU Lush snow fairy, last in the stash:( although Ive decanted a tiny bit to save to use with a couple of bubble slices in the bath.

UU

Estee Lauder Perfectionist Firming Serum, 7ml - WNBA, really liked it but far too expensive
Neutrogena Multi-Defence Daily Moisturiser, 50ml - WBA, really good moisturiser and cheap.
Oral B 3d White Brilliance toothpaste, 15ml - WBA, not quite as good as the Oral B with the little crunchy beads in it though!

INS

Dentimint Fluoride Mouthwash, 600ml
Lacura Cotton Wool Pads (100) x 2

not sure how well The Green Balm is working for me. The dry spot on my chin is not as dry but is now spotty! My spotty forehead is getting spottier. My nose is better than it was (but waiting for spots to appear now!)

I have a UU - the first of the month - Superdrug body cream I got last year about a year ago, I think it was 39p WBA at that price and even if it was a bit more expensive as nice smell and very moisturising.

Re my car, what should have been a relatively easy (if there is such a thing) problem to fix has been made a whole lot worse after one of the car transporters started my car and let it run for 15mins when the water pump had broke. :mad: I have contacted my insurance company to lodge a formal complaint but not hopeful. So at the moment it is stuck in the garage and in the process of being fixed, but it may have knackered the engine well and truly

Re my Boots ACM - I use them up buying lunch, usually at work I bring my own in but every so couple of weeks I'll treat myself and buy lunch through my points. I am careful to accumulate them as well as can be. I also use them if I'm at the airport as a good way to get food after security and cheaper than plane food. Although haven't been on a plane lately, my BF and I are looking for a holiday in Oct/Nov time but car needs to get fixed first.

Asset - that sounds infuriating. :mad: I hope that you get somewhere with your insurance company. *Hugs*

UU 75. NEOM Organic Body Lotion Real Luxury (50ml) - WBA as I found the scent incredibly soothing. Loads of other things to get through first though (See below :eek:)


I'm having to change my strategy - I have lots of natural products that have use by dates on them! :eek: I thought that I just had to use the Weleda up but I've found that my Pai skincare needs using as well. They are lovely products so not a chore to use up, but I'm definitely going to be using them beyond their BB date. I think I'm going to have to tidy anything without a BB date away (out of sight!) so that I concentrate on this next batch of things. (I have Neal's Yard stuff as well that ought to be prioritised. Too many natural products!)

The upside is that this realisation has totally killed off any urge that I had to buy anything else!! :rotfl:

^^Sounds like a good plan, I would love to try neom and pai one day soon

UU: L'oreal elvive smooth silk hair conditioner - I really hate that I'm using L'oreal but my budget is so tight right now that I'm having to go to poundland to get my hair products. I did get the simple hair shampoo & conditioner however. I need to stop supporting L'oreal.
