    Very annoying Rosemary, I hope they get back to you & that you didn't lose too much £ x
  • A boring month of August, no exiting ins and a very boring out:

    1x Colgate Peroxyl Mouthwash - Nice tasting mouthwash, leaves mouth feeling fresh. WIBA? Maybe if it's on offer, it's quite expensive and leaves the mouth feeling slightly dry after use. As the main ingredient is hydrogen peroxide, it is probably cheaper to dilute a 3% solution instead.

    I have a UU..

    Vaseline Sheer Infusion can't remember which one I think it was the one with green on the label - I actually cut this open a few weeks ago and transferred the lotion to a smaller bottle. I didn't particularly like this, but it appears upon searching online that this has now been discontinued anyways!?

    :T:T:T:T:T. Well done Parisian- sounds like you're ready to graduate for us.

    Kadison -ouch. Hope you're not too bruised.

    I have another UU - M&S nail polish remover 200mls. WBA and already have one to replace it.

    One TA - Nails Inc Charlotte Street. Really liked this colour but it has went rather gloopy at the end even though I have tried to dilute it. Still plenty more to UU.

    Morning all!

    Can I just say a big fat OOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!! :eek:

    I fell down the flamin' stairs in the wee small hours this morning (I've been up since midnight), my own fault as I slipped on the last step which had discarded dirty washing on it, and fell right on my left arm on half the stairs and half the laminate! No lasting injuries but my arm is aching, hope it goes away as I've got a charity team plane pull on Monday :D

    Gracious! Hope you're not too hurty! :eek:
    Cookie, I think you're tame. :heart2:

    Sachet Andrew Barton SOS conditioner - I expected to hate this but I liked the coconut scent and my hair seemed to like it. I got it in a LIB box and have never seen it in shops near me so unsure whether I can buy it again.

    Andrew Barton is from ASDA ;)

    I didn,t lose money,was just very annoyed that the stuff came from china and the only way you could tell was to go to the sellers page that you would not do normally when ordering. I emailed amazon to complain and pointed out as the seller had uk in bracket then that is where I thought the stuff would come from, they emailed back but don't expect them to change. Will have to look more closly in future,never had this before

    Hi all!

    It has been a while. My laptop is playing dead and I am rather busy at the moment trying to buy a house (so time consuming!) so I'm a bit too busy to pop by much. Having said that, with the proposed move, I'm glad I've been using up my stash so I don't have so much to move (you should see the other decluttering that has been doing on - seriously :eek:!)

    So, here are my recent and soon-to-be UUs (in case I don't get the chance to post again in the foreseeable)

    Original Source Lime and Tea Tree shower gel: WBA. Blummin' love this stuff!

    Johnson's Baby Wipes: no babies in this house but always a packet to hand to help with emergencies and to use instead of make-up wipes.

    Johnson's Clean and Clean facescrub stuff: can't remember the exact name of this but it comes in a tube and is brilliant for my T zone. I only use it when necessary, which is probably once or twice a week, so one tube takes a few years to use as I only need a tincy tiny bit each time. Brilliant value, WBA without a doubt. (Will see if I've got anything resembling it in my stash, first - I was sure I did see something).

    Sensodyne Pronamel toothpaste: WBA. Dentist's orders.

    Corsodyl Daily: ditto

    In other news, the stash is doing pretty well and is almost under control. I am going to start on my excess of samples/travel sizes and I need to buy a new face cream, but once that is done *whispers cautiously* I could be ready for graduation. :T (It's only taken two and a bit years! :eek::rotfl: )
    Please call me 'Pickle'
    No More Buying Books: ???
    No More Buying DVDs: ???
    NMB Toiletries ??? and I've gone back for my Masters at the University of Use Ups!

    Congratulations to those people close to graduating. It must be nice to be clutter free. I have just spent the last 15 minutes going around the house shouting at everyone (dog included) about all the mess, almost 5 weeks into the 6 weeks hols and the kids have created a god awful mess in every room.

    Have to confess to some ins - I will be parking myself on the naughty step for the evening with a curry and a glass of wine:

    After buying the S&G Gloss Stick and completely falling in love with it I now have 3 more, they are on offer at £5 at the moment so I have nudist, bashful and plum jam. They are all gorgeous, quite sheer and glossy.

    Also a Maybelline Baby Lips - have been waiting ages for these to be launched here, it is lovely, lips feel very soft.

    It didn't end there I am afraid

    Una Brennan Super Facialist Rose Hydrate Mask - on offer and have wanted to try for ages.

    Una Brennan Cleansing Oil
    Champneys Super Rich Cleansing Balm

    Oh dear :o
