    I'm back again for this month :) Thanks for starting us off Sam. Hope to have some UUs this month and can't remember UU anything lats month.
    I've been following this thread since it started, I know I have definately stopped buying things just for the sake of it but can feel myself being drawn back to ebay.
    I don't need ANYTHING my house is full to bursting :o I need to keep reminding myself of that!:)
    Life is a coin, you can spend it anyway you wish, but you can only spend it once.
    Go as far as you can see, and when you get there you'll see further.

    Thanks Sam for starting us off, I am in again.

    Welcome back roguey.

    Maddiemay - One of our neighbours went on a Baltic Cruise this summer and loved it. She did say that things like coffee etc were very expensive in the cities compared to our prices.

    Went to a big M&S yesterday and visited the beauty hall, pretty much every brand had gwp offers, Ren, Jurlique, Skyn Iceland and lots of others, the offers were really good too if anyone needs anything.

    Woww, it sounds like thing have been mayhem for you in general since May and even more so more recently, you poor thing!
    An online jewellery store? :T

    I know what you mean, it's so easy to "add to cart" when feeling crap but then when it is received it just adds on to the big list of things that need to be UU, and usually at the end of it... so I find it's never truly enjoyed!

    I am well, thanks :D I have some difficult exams coming up in a few weeks, and my life always ends up coming to a halt in the weeks before exams. Just concentrating on going to work, gyming, eating well and revising... back to the bare basics! :D

    Great to have you back Roguey :D xxx

    Hi Dolly, thanks for this, have to work out how much spending money and what currencies we need to take. Everything bought on ship is put on account and paid before they let us off:rotfl:

    How are the puppies and their mum doing? well I hope.

    Now which exams are these? It's impossible not to just focus on the exams (or in my case, ignore them until the last minute in the hope they go away. How I ever managed to make it to post graduate education really is a wonder)

    Im not sure quite what the rules are about advertising here so I'll remove this if I've broken any rule, but my etsy store is https://www.etsy.com/shop/roguejewels (anyone else sensing a theme here...) if anyone fancied a sneaky peek.

    And now for my first trick I shall go and place myself on the naughty step :o

    Firstly I woke up this morning and found more items that were not on my list. When added they have pushed the list to 400:wall:

    And then I was talking to my friend about how good I had been, not buying the l'occ stack offers I had been looking at yesterday. And then I went and bought it anyway:rotfl: So that's £40 spent and around 30 ins from l'occ, will post them up when they arrive. In the meantime the 'discovered' items were:

    L'Occitance hand cream - honey
    Elemis pro radiance illuminating flash balm
    No7 cleansing body polish
    Tresemme 24 hour body shampoo
    Tresemme 24 hour body conditioner
    Tisserand de stress essential oil roll on
    Jungle formula green spray

    Sigh, I'm off to walk the foster dog, and avoid any shop, in any format.

    Thanks for starting off the new thread Sam - I'm in again.

    Welcome back roguey - I too had wondered where you had got to. I remember you saying a while back that you were starting your own jewellery business, how's it going? Sounds like you have been very busy and had a lot going on.

    Hooray to all the holidays! I too am off on holiday at the end of the month and can't wait!

    Didn't have many UU last month. Got lots of splutterers so hoping for some more this month. Feeling very tempted by magazine freebies at the moment. There have been some good ones around recently but I never end up reading the magazines.

    Puppies are doing really well thanks Maddie, they are very chubby, silky and gorgeous. Mum is doing well and whilst not the most maternal she is coping with them better now. One in particular is very cheeky, the smallest one too, when they get a bit older they will be coming to visit their dad and play here in the garden, I may not let them leave :rotfl:.

    PUPPIES!! I'm currently fostering my mother's dog, but at some point he's going to go home, and I'm very keen to get our own dog soon...
