    Have a uu

    Pantene Volume Mousse - WBA, this did the job and doesn't make my hair sticky or stiff. Have a can of Umberto Gianni to use next.

    I love this too! I use face washes when I'm having a shower and this is my favourite.

    Also my two favourites! ;)

    I doubt they will reply, they didn't when I complained. I think there must be a lot of buyers who are scamming the buyer protection system - ebay need to watch out.

    Why would ebay need to watch out? They get paid by the sellers, not the buyers, and when they find in favour of the buyer they refund the whole lot from the sellers paypal, not their own accounts...:naughty:

    Hi ladies, remember me? I seriously need to get back to this challenge and keep posting but work as you all know has been hectic. We have someone new starting shortly though so hopefully I'll get time to read and post more. I don't get the chance to post at home either at the mo as MrM recently had surgery on his achilles heel and is on crutches so now I have to cook every night as well (bet all you ladies who cook anyway are rolling your eyes at me!).

    So I've been indulging in new OPI lacquers as per usual. Bought a couple of the Bond Girl colours and one of the Minnie Mouse colours (got that from Liverpool when we had a lovely break there in July). Have an Auto Delivery due from QVC re: a previous TSV any day now too.

    When MrM was mobile I remember going to the L'Occitane store at Trafford Centre a couple of times. Bought myself one of the new fragrances with matching shower gel and body lotion. Another time I went to buy Liquid Soap and came away with far more than I intended!

    The worst confession I have to make though is subscribing to Glossybox though I only did it for three months and bought it for Emma. Have I seen any of the products from the boxes? No.

    But it was when I was in a department store recently and got the chance to buy the new Benefit powder for Emma for her birthday and felt that old thrill come over me that I realised I was going down the old pathway. So back to it! Plus I had a lovely personal message from Maddiemay that reminded me of what lovely folks you all are and I should take the time to come back on here and catch up.

    So I guess I don't really need anything and the fact that I can't get the Trafford Centre (I don't drive) to pick up those L'Occitane treats should spur me on, yes?

    I also thought I post about the package I got from Liz Earle yesterday. I had to order my IBST and Emma's C&P. I knew the order would qualify me for a free sample size of C&P but was really chuffed when I opened the pack to find they had given me a free 200ml tube of C&P as well. I have rung them today to give feedback and thank them. Maybe they thought I didn't use anything any more as I tend to pick most of my LE bits up from John Lewis now. It was lovely though.

    How are you all doing?
    Back for the No Buying Toiletries challenge. I pledge to only buy when I run out of a product that is not already in my stash no matter what wonderful emails land in in my Inbox or threads I read on MSE re: glitches!

    Because eventually sellers will get fed up and sell elsewhere, I have done and others will and over time that will affect them. I was shocked at the way they treat me and from now on I will only buy on there.


    VALM - how lovely to see you back, it doesn't sound like you have been too naughty.

    They replied saying they were sorry I was unhappy (HA!) but they couldn't do anything as a final decision had been made! I have asked them what the point is of having an appeal link sent to me if they have no intention of doing anything!

    I was an e-mail full of useless complacencies, which I've heard 100 times before! They are so completely useless, I am going to look elsewhere to sell now I think!

    I will try gumtree, in addition, have people checked to see if there's a Facebook selling page for their local area? I think most places have them, it's a great way to get rid of stuff!

    This is the point, ebay never lose out, so why would they care?!
