noelphobic - I once posted about an M&S bra offer on another thread and got a barrage of abuse about how pants (no pun intended) M&S underwear was and why would anyone want a bargain there anyway. Hugs to you - stick with us, we're much nicer...

Ha ha ha! It's like on the threads were people post codes for money off takeaways. You will often get someone post a "takeaways are a waste, you should cook from scratch - tut tut" message. Why?! I sew, but I wouldn't go on the threads about clothing store discounts and say "you should make your clothes from scratch - tut tut"!

I have a GA to DH TBS Lip Roll on - Berry 10ml he has sore lips, as he's got man flu and I had been thinking of chucking this anyway.

What's odd is someone can post something and get shot down in flames and a few days later someone else posts a very similar query and gets lots of supportive answers.

I am afraid I have a box of half-price Philosophy products winging it's way to me as well as some Burberry Body from the Boots sale. I have had a vile year so will not be horrible to myself. But, from the 1st Jan I am going to commit to using up what I have. I watched a video on YouTube of a woman who has pledged to only buy 10 items of make-up next year and definitely think I need to pledge something similar!

I also need to do something similar I have enough mascara, eyeshadow, lipstick and lip glosses to last a couple of years at least. The only makeup items that I may possibly need are foundation and powder depending on how quickly I get through current stash, as now wearing makeup more often than I used to.

On another note am really loving the Lush cleansers and toner. My skin is so much softer after only 2 days. I've never really tried Lush products before and really glad that I did now.

Once stash has finally gone I want to keep my skincare regime as natural as possible. My skin is definitely better when using more natural products.

I have never understood why, on those kinds of threads in particular, people insist on posting the same response as umpteen people have before them.

Ill generally click on a thread, see the response I would have given has been said and move on, or post something along the lines of 'I agree with x but have you also considered....'. A cacophony of voices all shouting the same feels like a mob, no matter how well intended the responses may be.

On another note, a little empathy goes a long way. I know the written word doesn't always express the nuance intended, but the word 'sanctimonious' has popped in to my head on more than one thread-viewing occasion. Maybe it's because I deal with the public in a very difficult/emotive area of law, but empathising with the client's frustration with a law that appears to do no justice to them, does no harm whatsoever.

One UU to report:

BS Natrulift firming day cream. This is another sample from my BS pack of treats. WIB? Yes, once I finish my current product. It sinks nicely into the skin without feeling too greasy. This might be my replacement for the carrot cream, which BS no longer seems to stock.

UU - Clairol Perfect 10 hair dye - WBA definitely, really high quality conditioner and gloves in this! Worth the extra £1 compared to Garnier Nutrisse which is what I usually buy

More INs since I saw MIL and SIL today and they gave me smellies!

FCUK set - 4 items I think, will update shortly.

FCUK Body Polish, 200ml

FCUK Body Butter, 200ml

FCUK Bath Syrup, 300ml

FCUK Body Wash, 300ml

The Chocolate Bath Box - 6 bath bombs in this. I don't like anything in my bath really so these will be re-gifted/swapped I think!

According to someone on the other thread I AM a troll.

I can honestly say from your stash, there is no way you are a troll:D Really, you'd be the best groomed troll around!

But, it's like the Las Vegas thread. If you aren't a cool kid you get jumped on by the regulars. Honestly, they are a weird bunch. LV is a common escape for Canadians (better weather being the main reason) and we don't give a damn where we stay and how fancy the hotel is. But the regs are all about who has the biggest suite at the cheapest price.

1 UU to report - a bag of bath salts. Sort of rose sented, no idea of make it must have been part of a gift set that was long ago seperated. All info that was on the packet was so faded I was unable to read it!
