    (I noticed that those on the thread Noelphobic started and then got attacked on all think that she is a he, incidentally.)

    That must be why they decided that I wasn't pregnant. :D That thread has been closed now luckily.

    I saw a thread yesterday where someone said their child had had an accident in MacDonalds. They were accused of being a bad parent, a liar, a money grabber, a chav and probably various other things that I've forgotten. That thread is now also closed. People can be so horrible - although not on here luckily.

  • Hey girlies! Happy New Year!

    I'm in again please, as I got tons for Xmas and have just found out that I'm going to a hen 'do in February which is going to cost me £200 at least. So I am on a serious budget for the next 2 months!

    The only thing I need to buy is a mascara :)

    I aim to go through all the original stash items that I haven't made a start on yet and decide whether to TA/GA any of them if I'm just not going to use them, no point in them sitting around for another year! Some products like body lotion its purely just that I've not gotten through enough as yet - must do better in regularly using it!

    Being nosy here but how have you managed to get a job lined up for August? I'm leaving my job (on voluntary redundancy) at the end of June and feel like it's too soon to apply for jobs. Don't want to land the job of my dreams (I wish!) and find they need me to start sooner than I am able to.

    I'm studying medicine so we're almost guaranteed a job - only a handful don't get jobs each year. It could be anywhere in the UK though! Also need to pass finals first. :eek:

    A big aim for 2013 is to UU some lipsticks! I can't fit anymore in the drawer!
  • Hi ladies, I'm so in for this month and like fiasco, for the entire year too lol :)

    I did some massive cleaning out and tossing stuff away and I put a large lot up for sale as I'm going to do another purge of my collection :)

    Here are my first UU's for 2013 :)

    Jack black soap - DH forgot he had it and it was taking up space so TA
    Lush stepping stone - oh la la do my feet feel so soft and smooth now!
    Dove pro age beauty bath shower gel - I really enjoyed using this shower gel and I believe this is my 2nd bottle of this stuff

    I feel good about clearing out my stash this morning including a bunch of things in my bottom drawer that were just not being used :)

  • I brought a cheap shampoo for a £1, it was something I was needing through so that's good! I looked at what I could spend my No7 voucher on and think Ill get a nail varnish but probably nothing with the skin care voucher..didnt seem much there.
    Debt free and busy treating myself:)

    No more toiletries/make up until I've used what I've got stashed since Jan 2011, graduated October 2012. Restocked Dec 13..damn those sales

    My first UU of 2013

    TBS shea butter scrub - WNBA did not like the oil that this left on my skin so always had to remember to use this before shower gels or I just felt horribly greasy.

    Had a NPI in Boots yesterday - a Soap and Glory set which had about 6 minis in it for half price, but eventually saw sense and walked away.

    I hope everyone has a great 2013 :beer:

    A little bit off topic, but can anyone recommend some nice home fragrances?

    I've made myself super jealous by browsing the bath & body works website (doesn't ship to the UK) - I definitely want a few plug-ins - the yankee ones are all US plugs that you have to convert unfortunately.

    Does anyone know if the yankee fragrance refill bit fits in any standard uk plug in? i.e. glade, ambi-pur etc?
