that's the drawback to being a toiletries 'junkie'. By the time you find your HG the product may well have been discontinued! :mad: I guess there's always Fleabay if you really love something though.

Just 'discovered' a set of miniature perfumes that I must have bought in one of the Boots' sales. I'm tempted to keep them for myself. Don't have a huge stash of perfume so wouldn't feel as guilty as I would if it was shower gel or body lotion/butter/cream. Will also be checking out the sales to see if I can get a Marc Jacobs Daisy set half price. No joy so far with Harrods or Debenhams and they sold out last year at Boots.

Try JL as well for Daisy. Bought some V05 shampoo x 2 and conditioner x 1 from Sainsburys yesterday as it is on 3 for 2. We are on the last bottle of each at the mo and both are upside down and feeling light so not unnecessary.

MrM tried to talk me into buying the Nip and Fab gift set which was reduced from £40.00 to £10.00. I told him that that is how I ended up with a stash in the first place and he had already bought me hte Elemis kits which were similar. v good of me I thought.

Have just repainted my nails and am wearing the China Glaze Red Satin colour. It's lovely but looks the same as Maybelline Cherry and Nails Inc Victoria and Albert in my collection already. Won't need to purchase any red nail colours for a long while at least.

Mentioned the Benefit Lemon Aid to MrM yesterday and he confirmed this was what he had been trying to get hold of but the server problems meant he couldn't. Will have a keep an eye out in the new Year for more special offers on this one then. Unless he's having me on!

MrM is an enabler isn't he! My other half is similar and regularly suggests I treat myself, or at least he did until he had to move my boxes of stuff!!

Doctor Duve Hand and Decollete Cream x 1Sachet - WNBA as not a big enough sample to really try it out! Seems ok though
Lancome Hypnose Star Mascara, 2ml - WBA my lashes look so long with this!

Indiepanda, I am glad you are feeling a bit better. I agree being in limbo is stressful. Enjoy your time with your friends

Thanks, I had a great night out with the girls last night, finally rolled home at 2.45 am. That's something of a result for me, have struggled with late nights recently - maybe something to do with the stress making me tired.

Had a couple of UU when I got home:-

- sample size of advanced night repair by Estee Lauder. I've had the full size of this before, might buy at some point, but have some facial oils to use now and prefer their richness in the winter so won't be for some time.

- No 7 Cleanse and Care eye make up remover. I WBA but only with a £5 off No 7 voucher. Don't need to at the moment, have a few Lancome eye make up removers in my stash.

Went into town yesterday to get the last present I needed to buy and on the way back popped into one of my favourite local beauty shops to look at the candles. Fortunately the crowds got on my nerves before I ended up getting tempted by anything. I don't really need candles either - have a bit of a stash of those too, managed to leave empty handed.

I think this might be the first month I actually manage to get through without buying any toiletries.... I have no plans to go shopping in the sales, don't need anything.... don't even really want anything.

Am more keen to focus on getting rid of stuff (not just toiletries) and focusing on getting healthier / slimmer in the new year - save my money towards buying a new smaller wardrobe when successful. Oh and doing stuff too - weekends away and holidays etc. Got my eye on some hiking trips. My ex wasn't really interested in hiking so not done much over the last few years - will be good to get back into it.

I may have some more UU before Christmas, but in case I don't I'll wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and hope Santa brings you everything you wish for. x

Had a look at John Lewis but the only Marc Jacobs gift set they have is Dot and even that's out of stock! They have individual Daisy items but quite a few of them are also out of stock.

Will have to hope that I can get one in the Boots sale and try not to buy all kinds of other stuff at the same time. I got a lot of items in the 75% off sale last year for birthday presents for this year so will try to resist the half price sale - although I know I've no chance of getting the Marc Jacobs at 75% off and will be lucky to get it at 50% off.

I have answered the door to the postie while wearing a face mask! He looked a little surprised, but did make a joke about it

I have sucumbed to the Boots P&P offer, buy 6 serum for £28, they are normally £28 each :rotfl:I won't get them for a few days but wanted to delcare them in case I forget!
I am thinking that they will get used, can give one for BF's DM for mother's day or maybe I could slip one into her Christmas gift but had already planned on giving her a BS set.
Hope veryone has a lovely weekend.

How did you get these for £28? I see the set is £60 on the Boots website. (This is an item that my Mum uses regularly)
