Total on 1st November 2012 - 432 products

YAY! Someone with a bigger stash than me! Mine is currently piled in three boxes waiting to be used as far as possible before we move house in 6 weeks

I'm in again for another month, was only in 2 weeks of the last month but used up 16 items. Have a feeling it's going to be a while before another UU as I'm not on full size, new items. Oh well, I'll just have to keep having baths I suppose :rotfl:

Thank you for the new thread sunshineyday,count me in again too. I had a good October, and hope to have a few u/u this month. Resisted all the TSV's and e-mails, but have bought yet more nail polish, it is a cheap cher up for me while I am semi house bound! I do so want to try Philosophy, but have quite a few nice things left from last Christmas yet.

Belated birthday greetings to seaside dreamer, happy flat move inapickle. Oh dear ValM you do have an expensive month ahead, it is annoying when it works out like that,

OH and I decided yesterday afternoon to try and grab a last minute holiday, so off to a cottage in the Lake District on Saturday morning, so hopefully a few of my extensive collection of mini sizes will bite the dust. I am still only partial weight bearing, on crutches, after my ankle op, so don't need much in the way of outdoorsy clothes this time, just as well as we need to pack for two plus dog (take as much for her as for us:rotfl:) plus bicycle for OH, so of to start my packing lists! Need to take some basic foodstuff, but will have to do a mealplan when I get there and see what nice local produce is available.

Planned purchases for November are a couple of the Glamour nail polishes if I can find the Red (on wish list for a while) and perhaps the blue.

I'm back for this month. I may have graduated but I like hanging around here, it stops me from buying stuff! Oh and I do have the makeup mountain to work my way through!

Have a couple more UU from October to report;

Nails Inc Belgravia Hand Cream - WNBA, it didn't really do anything for me. Now onto the L'Occitane one that came free with Marie Clare not that long ago.

Sure Deo spray - My mum bought me a couple of replacements but I've moved on to a Mitchum Solid.

Have a few products that are on their last legs that will need to be replaced this month.

Going to Budapest tomorrow and have decided that I want to get the Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair from Duty Free. Have almost finished my sample size and love it! The texture of my skin used to be really rough (even with using AHA+BHA products) but this has made it so smooth! Might treat myself to the new Guerlain perfume as well, I like the scent a lot and it lasts all day on me. Plus might want to try and scout out some Essence or Catrice makeup while I'm in Hungary...

Joining again after a complete failure in October - in the last few days i bought a Lancome beauty box. This morning i've done quite well in resisting getting the UD Vice palette on buyapowa. Thankfullt it wasn't much of a saving, and i have 4 UD palettes already.

There seems to be some rather good luck about just now with the raffle prize wins ladies. I will join in on the next raffle I see (just in case it has rubbed off on me too!)

I also won a raffle a few weeks back on MacMillan cancer charity day - bought a ticket for £1 at my local Wilko and won this hideous looking Monster High doll. It's too old for my little one (she'd probably eat it) and I have nobody to give it to for xmas so I sold it on Ebay and it went for a tenner. :money:

Noelphobic - saw at the end of the October thread that you've bought some Sudocrem for spot outbreaks. I have lots of tubs of Sudocrem round the house as my daughter has a sensitive bot prone to nappy rash, and I've used it on spots before too. It works well, but you don't need much and probably best to put it on only if you're planning on staying indoors

I'm in again for November - have my first UU already! Finally finished my bottle of Avon Treselle my Nan gave me just before she died 9 years ago. Not sure if you ladies will remember this conversation but a while back I asked what to do with the bottle as I'd like to keep it to remember her by, so now I'm going to take it apart, find the last of my lavender in the garden and use it as a small vase.

Have 2 UU to report already this morning!

Sensodyne Repair and Protect Extra Fresh toothpaste - Really liked the extra fresh part but WNBA because it didn't really "foam" properly, just felt like i was moving this lump of paste round my mouth and it wasn't really doing anything! Found a sample of the new Colgate sensitive pro relief that i was going to take away with me and it will last for a bit after I get back from Budapest as well!

Listerine Sensitve mouthwash - WNBA, this is the new one that comes in a cloudy bottle. Has a weird after taste which I don't like...Will replace with a mini listerine extra white for the holiday and then see what happens when I get back!

Oh count me in again.
I had more in's than UU - here's hoping for a better November

**tracey**

I am in again for November. Going to redo my stash list at the weekend to see where I stand.
It is my birthday in November so I would anticipate getting some smellies. I won't be buying anything myself though. Have had a look at all the Christmas catalogues and surprisingly nothing is tempting me, yet perhaps I have been cured.

Ohhhhhhh room for a newbie as think I really need to try this!:)

I did an inventory of my toiletries yesterday (need to try to reduce the OD and use some stocks up).

Not included make up etc as don't tend to hoard this and I do buy as needed.

Stuff listed below is new in cupboard & doesn't incl stuff in use bathrooms:o:

• Bubble bath: Imperial Leather x 6, muscle soak x 1, salts x 1
• Shower gel: Imperial Leather x 8, cheap stuff x 6
• Air freshner x 3
• Handwash: 500ml x 2, 300ml x 2
• Shampoo/Conditioner 2 in 1 x 3
• Shampoo x 3
• Conditioner x 3
• Tissues: boxes x 5, handbag packs (10) x 3
• Deodorant x 5
• Face cloths: Olay x 4, daily wipes x 3
• Toothpaste x 2
• Razors - loads!
• Shaving gel x 3
• Face masks x 8
• Sanitary products - loads!
• Toothbrush heads x 4

Needs:
Moisturiser - Getting really low on this (after not buying for at least a year:o) & several bottles / tubs nearly finished so need to use these up & hunt around for some new stuff (skin is awful after being in hospital - not sure if it's the lack of fresh air whilst in there?)

So ..... not sure whether to set a spending target for the month or just see how it goes?:)
