  • Two friends have offered to get me the soap n glory offer as I am in work today but I have said no. Still have loads from last Christmas to use up and half of the things I wouldn't use anyway. Feeling very pleased with myself.

    Morning all.

    Had a bit of a struggle this morning as all of yorkshire is under ice. 6 year old DS put one foot out of the door and flew up in the air and landed on this back on the stone doorstep. 10 minute journey on foot to school took nearly half an hour.

    Have some uu

    FCUK Signature body butter - 50ml WBA, lovely and creamy and smells fab.

    FCUK Signature body wash - 75ml WBA.

    Estee Lauder Daywear - gwp 15ml size, WNBA, it is nice but I didn't notice anything special.

    Stay safe all.

    Morning ladies!

    I'm having massive trouble trying to resist the Soap and Glory offer this morning - please help! :rotfl:

    That's an easy one to resist, I am well and truly over the S & G hype, haven't bought it the past 2 Christmases and I'm still working my way through it. The worst thing is it goes off and smells awful really quickly :mad:U
    Life is a coin, you can spend it anyway you wish, but you can only spend it once.
    Go as far as you can see, and when you get there you'll see further.
    Take time but don't waste time

    Ooh, hellooo! I think I need to join this thread!

    I usually reside over on the hoarders thread so I have a feeling this one may help me a bit, lol!

    I have resisted buying the s&g OOTW, however I've said I will take one of my friends 4 from last yr off her hands (she was about to eBay them)

    I have tried resisting toiletries all yr as I have stacks and stacks of them, but the thing I find hardest to resist is £1 offers. Etc

    If its in this thread somewhere, I apologise for asking but what do your abbreviations mean?

    uu- using up?
    WBA- will buy again?

    Don't k ow any more
    No more unnecessary toiletries Feb 2014 INS: 24 UU: 13. Mar 2014. INS: lost count, naughty step for me! UU: 8
  • Welcome sjprmc01 UU is used up, WBA is would buy again, for a few more of the common abbreviations, have a look at the first post of the thread.

    One quick IN to declare: Boots conditioning nail polish remover wipes. Bought as I couldn't find nail polish remover in amongst all the boxes.

    We completed on our house today! Epic move ahead of us tomorrow, wish me luck! I'll be offline until the new year for the most part, but will report in as often as I can.
