Roguey - well done, great to see the stash decreasing and your finances improving too.

Dolly - How old is your Lab? if he is young he might be bored, would your lifestyle allow 2 smaller walks rather than 1 longer one, or could you perhaps set aside 10-15 minutes every morning for some fun training, indoors is fine at this time of year. e.g. basic obedience, sit, stay, down, recall and some fun stuff like hiding things for him to find, all rewarded with lots of love and perhaps a tiny food treat each time. I have a border collie now, and have had several gun dogs, spaniel, labs, retriever cross and they all needed as much mental stimulation as physical excercise. (Mine has just decided that I am not going to play fetch the whale toy any more, no matter how much she pleads and sloped off into the bedroom:rotfl:) We have also taught her names for all her toys so that she can go and look for particular ones on request, you can almost see the cogs going round when the desired one cannot be found in toy box and she has to work out where she left it - bit like me trying to find something I have not put back in it's proper place really LOL Where I lived before a retired man had a collie wo knew literally hundreds of items by name.

Collie Types are so intelligent aren't they. We have 2 shelties and its amazing how much they understand.

16/17 - two little bath melts from a craft fair. Gorgeous, would buy again if I knew who she was/could find her/didn't have masses of other stuff!

Your doggies sound amazing! I grew up with 3 big dogs and loved them all so much. We have a little rescue cat at the moment and I've taught her to fetch. Tee hee.

Oooh, forgot to mention Avon IN some shower gel.

Valm - Do you apply your Lemonaid with a brush or your fingers? I have a pot but find it quite hard to apply. TIA

.

Hi dolly - when I have a full pot of LemonAid I use my finger but at the moment as there is a very small rim of product left around the outside I am using a concealer brush. I do prefer to use my finger though as I feel I end up with more product on using a brush. When using my finger I dab it on. Does this help at all?

Neither of the products I mentioned this morning were UUed either.

Thank you VALM - I will have another go with it soon.

Sounds like a great deal I really need new Make up brushes

I'm quite impressed with this Japonesque one, it's really soft!

Kadison - I love the Real Technique ones! I got the Core Collection last month and it's great! Really want the blush brush now, but i'm persevering!

Having a bit of a down day today, bad time of the year as it seems important death anniversaries (never sure what to call them!?) and birthdays are in the same couple of weeks, urgh it's not good. Have decided to have a clear out and do my nails, so will report back later with results! It was either that or I ate (even more) bakewell tart whilst watching (even more) Vampire diaries!

I have been lurking for a while now and am in the process of writing up my list, I have only done one draw and have over 50 items already so it's a long process ! I am trying to do a few of these challenges, think maybe I have taken on too much at once tho as I can't keep up with them all together. Thanks for letting me tag along

Maddie - thanks for your reply. My Lab is 4 this month (kids are organising a surprise party for him), funnily enough I worked out what was wrong with him just after I posted - the sun has been shining for the last two days and he thinks we should have the french doors open so he can come and go as he pleases, bless him, he loves sunny days but it is a bit cold for that yet. I have taken him out for a long run in the woods now and he is in bed sulking after having been hosed down.

Re training him, it would be good for him but in typical lab fashion he thinks everything is the most exciting game ever and he charges around the house with his bum tucked under him at very high speed smashing everything in sight, then he launches himself up in the air and knocks you to the ground for a good old roll around. I have had labradors for over 20 years now and none of them have calmed down until past 4 years (this one is mad even by lab standards though) so not long now.

I am going to try and put a photo of him as my avatar.

Well done on writing up a list, I'm too daunted by my stash to try!
I've started keeping a list of what is in, out, given away etc through the day otherwise I forget by the time I write it on the forum haha!

Oh grats to Roguey, I started about the same time as you but I'm no where near 100 UU yet, soon thought hopefully!!

Had a UU this morning BS vit e night cream, liked the scent and texture but didnt really think it did anything for me. So would only buy again if it was on a BS 50% off offer and I had nothing else to use! Now I'm onto a few REN night serums, hope they go quick! x
