    Was just wondering....
    What alternative uses can body butter and shower gel be used for..if at all? These are the two things I'm desperately needing to reduce without throwing them away. Tried googling it but got nothing at all!

    Hello I'm in again, last months totals where still a few more in then out but it was my birthday month plus I did stock up on some bargains and it was less ins the jan so I'm getting there!

    I stopped myself from ordering on L'Occitane earlier, my youngest (5 months) is ill and I'm super knackered so was going to treat myself as I had a discount and free p&p but then I reasoned I have everything I was going to buy in various small sizes so I need to use them up first as there is practically an offer every month!

    Anyway have to dash as she's so bunged up she cries whenever I lay her down but will hopefully get some time to catch up soon. Goal this month is more outs than ins!! x

    Phew, I made it to the March side! :T

    Just had my first two OUTs, both GA:

    1 - Philosophy foaming face wash, purity. Sold on ebay. Since I bought this my skin has changed and foamy things are not good, not good at all.
    2 - Added in an AVON anew sample.
    Cookie, I think you're tame. :heart2:

    Hi everyone! Thanks for the well wishes, they worked as I got the job! Don't start my new role till June but I'll start the training for it next week.

    Tried the new MUA Volume mascara today and I am not impressed. It's flaked under my eyes and hasn't given me any volume at all! On to the new L'Oreal butterfly mascara!

    I use shower gels to wash the bath and sink with, much better at removing soap scum than cleaning products. I have heard you can put it in the washing machine but have never tried it.

    I'm not doing too well, I have bought several things in the last few days (online) so I will count them when I receive them.

    11UU's
    1 so white ballistic WBA but only available at Christmas - have several more to use so I am not going to run out any time soon.
    9 items out (ebay) if they all pay.
    No 7 Protect and perfect intence serum (full size) WBA but I am banned as I have a few sample sizes of this and several more face serum products to use up.

    Can anyone point me in the direction of how I change my signature at the bottom so I can track what I am using. Thank you

    Maybe try it on towels or bed sheets then!

    Go to 'user cp' above the thread title and there will be a link for your 'signature'
