Good luck for your interview Ruby!
I'm feeling a bit sorry for myself today, but no opportunity for a pamper as I'm on call and v busy. I'm looking forward to my week off after next weekend; I plan on sleeping, reading, loafing and possibly drinking coffee (if that's not too strenuous!)
No more UU's or purchases yet, but I've barely managed to brush my teeth so far today!0 -
Good luck for the interview Ruby!
An IN and a rant. I stupidly bought replacement Clarisonic brush heads on Ebay... arrived and almost certainly counterfeit( The brush caps fit really badly and the edges are really sharp

I forgot to mention that I ended up selling 6 items on ebay
6 more out's for me. I'm horrible about keeping track of my UU's, I'll try to write them down somewhere so I can remember.

Welcome newbies.
Good luck Ruby for your interview.
No ins or uu too report but have a TA
No7 lipgloss - I love the colour but when you pull the wand out all of the product is removed from the little brush applicator because the hole in the tube is too small, therefore it takes forever to get any on your lips and I just can't be bothered with it. I have another in the same colour which I will try, I also have one in a different colour and that one is fine.Debt Free and now a saver, conscious consumer, low waste lifestyler

Thanks for the wishes everyone! It isn't really a proper interview, just one for a secondment to a different post within the same department, but I'm still nervous about it!
Have another UU to report;

I'm in again - thanks for starting us off Absinthefairy. Last month sort of ran away with me so I failed to keep up with the thread. I did however, manage 17 OUTs and 7 INs so net result at the end of the month was minus 10 items. I am really pleased with this.
Am avoiding the Q today and have added £5 to my SPC instead. I really don't need any of the things - this is a major LBM for me...
Ruby - good luck with the interviewUU
Gielly Green Classic Shampoo, 50ml - WNBA, did not like this at all! Nice and fresh smelling but could hardly get a lather at all!
Gielly Green Classic Conditoner, 50ml - WNBA, just didn't feel it did anything to warrant the price
Elemis Fresh Skin SuperBoost Moisturising Serum, 30ml - WNBA, it was ok but i have tried other serums which feel as if they are working better!
2 of my UUs last month were the Gielly Green items - I loved them so sorry to hear they didn't suit you Itzy.
Have also got March off to a good start with 2 UUs:
L'Occitane desert rose handcream - loved this, the smell was divine and shea butter handcreams from L'Occ are my HG.
S&G mist you madly - WNBA - it was ok but don't usually use body sprays.
Will try to do better at keeping up this month0 -

Im off next week too - the girls at work are going to get very cross with me cos I NEVER take a whole week off, so this week is going to be full of me going " Im not here next week !!" at all times.... :rotfl: my week is going to be full of a trip to Lush to spend my christmas voucher (probably on shampoo) and monday Im off to the Celia Cross Greyhound Trust to have a look at their dogs for rehoming and possibly meet one that might be coming to live with us (but we are a long way off that being certain yet!!) and watching Cheltenham possibly. (well - strategically missing the paddock shots of the races where my ex is going to have runners, I was ok till this quarters TBA magazine had a hulking great picture of him inbut Im b*ggered if Im going to be put off watching the racing completely - I'll just aim to miss seeing him :cool: ) and having a good rest before Grape gets back. Hopefully she will be back in a couple of weeks time - Ive really missed having her around !!
Very good luck tomorrow Ruby - you'll be fab Im sureDo not meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup0 -
Funnily enough I saw your ex taking centre stage on Ch 4 the other week during a feature on NH's, Trudi, he does seem to be in the limelight a lot, but there again so does NH... !
Do enjoy your week off when you get there, I will have to get back on the Forums soon, esp. with Chelters on. Working from home and I can watch it ALL this year!! :j
A friend has just dropped off some unloveds...
A full - size Body Shop Sweet Lemon Body Scrub, a 200ml Avon Black Cherry & Nutmeg Shower Gel, a L'Oreal hair mask for coloured hair (75 ml size) and a beautiful L'Oreal Color Riche lippy in Amber; exactly the shade I'm currently using a 'too dark' and 'too light' lippy to get. Yippee! :j:j
An out in p/ex - a Sure concentrated antipersp. as she needed some and was going to leave early to get to Mr T's to get one - much nicer to give one and have her company for longer.
The scrub will be brilliant at getting shot of that damned 'Alex' lotion properly tomorrow morning.
I normally use scrubs fairly infrequently but it's come along at just the right time.Erma Bombeck, American writer: "If I had my life to live over again...
