    Welcome all Newbies :wave: - enjoy being part of the thread.

    I have started 2013 as I mean to go on - £5 in my SPC for resisting the TSV on the Q. It is tempting as I love the volumising lip treatment but I have other lip lotions and potions to UU in my stash. I am just not going to watch - I have tasks like defrosting the freezer and taking down the christmas decs to divert me...

    I am aiming to UU an average of 17 items a month this year - this should be manageable as I have checked my spreadsheet for the last 3 years and the average was just over 17 items a month (17.89 to be precise). I also want to end every month on a minus. I know I won't manage no INs due to my Amarya box plus other things that tempt me along the way but at least if I can end every month on a minus then the stash will be reducing slowly but surely.

    I'm going to join this month, I'm not sure exactly how much I've got but I am sure that I don't need to buy anything at all in January apart from maybe a top coat nail polish but that's for work as I do nails so that has to be allowed, I may get away with not even buying that though

    Trudij- my comments were just at the woeful UU rate I have been averaging the last couple of months and nothing whatsoever to do with a huge blowout at the sales :whistle: I must fortify myself for the start of B**ts 75% sale starting soon :A

    I did get a late prezzie from best friend - Womanity gift set with body lotion. Smells lovely. Never had a bottle of that before but sniffed it on others and did like it.

    Also one very small IN from M&S sale. NP jewel down to £2 which I plan to put on the toenails later tonight.

    Hope everyone is having a lovely start to 2013 :).
