Oh gosh hammyham, that was a brave thing to do, are you formulating a plan to use things up, gift for birthdays, christmas etc?
I've realised that some of it is skincare items that I felt I 'had to have' as it was such a good deal - No7 mainly. And makeup! I think as it takes so long to get through, that buying multiples as it's on sale means that it will take forever to get through! I think when it comes to Christmas and Boots have their sales, I just need to keep this in mind!
2 UU
Oral B toothbrush head - Have some more stashed but WDBA when time comes.
Lancome miceller water 30ml - WMBA. This was a GWP and I really liked it, but a bit too pricy for me to afford full price. Maybe if a glitch or v g deal was on.
V proud of myself for avoiding the soap and glory make up deal, as really want to try one of their lipsticks!

I'm not sure of the price, but it worked quite nicely, without any of the residue/sticking clothes issues. I'm thinking of investing in a bottle as its something I would use more than body lotion.0 -

looked on Etsy and yet again cannot find my stuff:(:(:(:(what a waste of time that site is!
looks like another wet and miserable day out:(:(:(:(:(:(:(

Thanks! I might look out for it. Chances are it will be on an introductory offer just now...
A UU this morning - Well a Lifetex volumising/ detangling spray. I bought this 5 years ago, when I was a student. It was very expensive (for a student) at £7, so I barely used it unless I was going out. It was a good product, I really liked the smell, but because it took me 5 years to use it up, I don't think they make it anymore!0 -

I have exactly the same, I've spent a small fortune on chains, beads, charms, resin, but bought no new toiletries for 49 days now!0 -
Very well done to Rosemary & Roguey for resisting any buying (and to anyone else who has managed it!) This month has been a fail for me but I will be in again next month.... and for the next 20 years at this rate.

Sundaysgirl do you have a blog? If you do, thank you as i have enjoyed reading some of your reviews for poshbrats. I have made an order and really looking forwards to the items.
sam.4000 wish I could take the credit, I took a quick peek and looks like a great blog, but not mine. You now have me lusting after poshbrats products though - I'd not heard of this range before but they look good enough to eat and quite reasonably priced too it seems! Must resist...MFW 2017 #123 2018: £1,852.64/£39,200 (4.7%)0 -

I received my order this morning some lovely items but some i'm not sure about, not that I am trying to tempt you. This is my first order with them, they were recommended on another forum.
So
IN's
10 bath items, 2 not counted as I have given them away so I am not couting them as an in or an out.
GA
16 (not including the above) to a friend lots of different items from hair care, perfume samples (really hate these). make up e.t.c.
TA
A pulse point roller ball scent thing that I think I picked up in boots about 10 years ago, still have not finished and don't like the scent.
1 nail varnishg thinner liquid (nearly empty and had for years)
2 nail polishes don't like the colours and they are half finished and quite thick and I can't fit them in the little draw I keep them in.0
