    Morning!

    Another UU for me...

    Batiste Dry Shampoo - Floral & Flirty Blush 200ml

    WBA but I have 7 more of various flavour Batiste ones in my stash thanks to a glitch which made them 10p each instead of £2.99, so of course I stocked up!

    WOW gutted I missed this glitch!! I seem to get through tons of this stuff and it is rather pricy!

    What is WRONG with me? I'm sitting contemplating whether I can afford (i cant) a LIB advent calendar just so I can try some new things!!!

    And hoping they still have some left at the end of the month!

    Keep on resisting:)

    If you want to try just a very few items it is worth searching on *bay, people often sell the items they are not too fussed about, sometimes you can pick them up cheaply and save a lot of money. I often do this with nail polish TSV's, just note the names of the 1 or 2 that I really want and pick them off during the following months, it can be quite fun, unlike the realisation that you have spent ££'s on things that you don't need and when you see them irl, that you don't want. e.g. I really want to try Nails Inc Porchester Square, but as I own at least 4 (perhaps more) nude polishes I will not let myself buy it unless I can get it for a steal:money: Or if you sell on *bay is there anything you can sell to fund the LIB calendar box perhaps?

    It was the big APG glitch that ran for weeks and weeks in September/October last year, people were getting all sorts of cleaning or skin stuff for 50p, Nivea for 90p and hair stuff from 10p.

    It went on for so long people got sick of it, did you really not hear about it? Such a shame if not but your stash would be enormous (like mine :eek:)

    Has anyone here tried the Elemis Evening Blooms Dry Body Oil? Everyone online seems to be raving about the scent but I hate it, it smells like fly spray mixed with old lady perfume :eek:

    Hi All,

    See we've been busy again and I've a few pages to catch up on. Had a hellish couple of days thanks to a burst pipe - luckily I didn't have much damage in my property but the ceiling has come down in flat underneath which is empty so noone knew there was an issue until it went to the floor beneath that :( I knew nothing of it until the police phoned me at work, thinking I was dead in the bath :eek: Now the landlord of the building is being utterly vile and started going on about lots of other work needing doing to the building and I'll be footing part of the bill (leasehold) so cue plenty of tears and frustration and a trip to the solicitors _pale_

    Coming back to the thread is really like a little bit of normality and its a comfort - just goes to show what a warm and friendly place it is and I know I can post something like the above which is completely and utterly OT and really just me venting and not be hauled over the coals for it. So thank you all, I wish everyone was as nice and caring as you lot! :) xx

    Hi all,
    3 UU for me this week so far:

    Inecto coconut facewipes (25)- WIBA? Yes, maybe, trying out the hot cloth cleanse routine for now though.
    Soap and glory pulp friction body scrub 300ml- WIBA? Yes, I think I will, I liked it nice and scrubby and lovely scent, have to use my other 10ish body scrubs first though!
    Dove nourishing oil care conditioner 180ml- WIBA? Yes, Have one more in the stash, this might be my first HG? Yay!

    I received my lovely package of goodies from the New Year swap at work yesterday! Cheered me up!
    Off for a play with them and to see how many Ins it is... and to get my package packaged up!!

    xxx

    I have been very very bad and will be on the naughty step for a very long time. I have bought BOTH Urban Decay Oz Palettes. I did use my Debenhams beauty club Card points so got both for £50 and got more points and its double points this month. I calculate that each palette is worth over £100, so have gotten over £200 worth for £50 so really good value. They are both build your own palette palettes, so the palettes can be reused once the shadows it comes with have been used. Now do I count these as 2 ins or 16 as each comes with 6 removable shadows an eyeliner and a lip gloss.

    I love the self justification we always do with our treasured IN, these are gorgeous! V jealous, Theodora has been tempting me for a little while, especially love that they're reuseable, fab!
