So sorry to hear that asset, I know how hard losing a pet can be.

Not been on recently, life has got in the way and bit and still upset as losing my lovely cat yesterday,
we'd had her 20years and had had a great life and never loked or acted her age. It's been a bit of a shock for us all as her litter sister is much frailer and looks her age.
I sorry to hear :grouphug:
UU's
Land of nod bath salts WNBA loved the smell but not the flower bits
FP lagoon body whip 100g WBA love this products I can smell it on my skins for hours afterwards, it is scented with lavender, geranium, and patchouli which I love, I like very heady scents . It's such a shame it has been discontinued do have a larger one to use but will save it for a while.
Rodial 5 minute facial WNBA not sure I really liked it.
Radial snake serum sachet WNBA made my skin feel tight but left a film on my skin.
Origins modern friction 15 ml WMBA quite liked it but not really the scent
Lush soft core massage bar WBA loved the scent, used the last bit a a bath melt, bit of a pain having to scrub the bath after a relaxing bath but atleast it gets rid of as bit more shampoo.
TA
Lacura 7 day intensive treatment. This is years old and I don't like it. Another 'find' , I'm sure I am going to stop finding things eventually.
Must remember 28 outs for sig.0 -
Hello!
Welcome to Twisted Cherry, Hugs to Asset, and anyone else who wants one x
My local Lush has closed down too. At least this means I'll have to go to the next city to buy stuff without "just popping in for a look around" and then the next thing I know...
I'm checking in today to report a surprise UU
FCUK Pure Bodylotion - WNBA, I don't really like scented body lotions, they seem to "dry" my skin if I use them for long periods of time. Probably why I was useing this religiously to get rid of it lol. Waste not want not and all that, and this wasn't as drying as others I've used. I much prefer unscented/cocoa butter/Shea butter ones though.
Ironically I love the body spray this came with though lol
PS remember 10 UUs for when I can update sig again!0 -

I really like this and also the body spray, bought several of each and also the body washwhen they were reduced to clear. I think I've used most of it up but still have the body wash, BF likes this and I was a bit surprised when I could see it's level going down until he said he'd been using it
I got him the Home Bargain copy of the Philosophy shower gel/shampoo a few months ago but he much prefers the fcuk, there's only about an inch left, so he'll need to start liking it
Been a wet, wild and windy day, although I think it's calmed down tonight.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.

Welcome twisted cherry.
So sorry to hear your sad news Asset.
Awful weather in Cumbria so spent the day ironing and cleaning.
TA
Claires childrens makeup pallette - was DD but its past its best.
Fanta lipsmacker - again DD didnt notice it in the pocket of her coat and it went through the washer.
UU
Baby wipes - WBA but still have some.
Issey Miyake shower gel - would use again if gifted but its overprices for a shower gel.
Andrew Collinge 1 minute wonder conditioner sachet - one of my oldest stash items. WNBA but I doubt its made any more.
30ml Nivea cashmere moments shower gel - DD liked it but I didnt like the smell so WNBA.
Another 10 ebay outs.
But more ins
2 x Colgate max toothpaste - came with a free nail polish -bought purely to feed my polish addiction
Sure max protection deo - HG and had a voucher.
2 packs of Razors for DH.
Clarins concealer - i am currently using an elderly No7 one and it goes powdery - making my flaws more obvious rather than concealing them.
Clarins blusher - im down to the edge of my current TBS one. I need to use a blusher as im so pale but ive never really been in love with any ive purchased.
This came with some free body tonic (this will be GA or sold as I cannot bear the smell) and lotion.
DH has returned to working away after the school holidays and ive returned to my cycle of misery buying - so will have more ins to declare next week. The only positive note is ive sold lots on ebay and havent used any real money.
Have painted my toes with Emily De Molly The Fifth Element - which isnt really appropriate for the weather but will make me smile in my boots and thermals.No more buying toiletries0 -
Hope you like it, even though it isn't our beloved Clinique! *sniffle*
So far so good. The £20 price tag is making me flinch.
Sorry to hear about you cat Asset. :grouphug:

Thank you so much for your welcome back wishes, lovely to read everyone's news. Asset, hugs, how sad, what a lucky cat to have had such loving care, not many reach 20. Lucky you too, to have had her companionship for such a long time.
I was in A!di today and took a good look at the L'Oreal and Herbal Hydration 'copies'. They have Tresemme copies too, big bottles of 'professional' shampoo and conditioner. The L'Oreal copies seem to sell well. There were only a couple of bottles left on sale.
Three years ago, before joining NBUT* I know I would have bought a shampoo and a conditioner just to see, and had them in the bathroom for the next year or two.
*Then, in 2010, it was just No Buying Toiletries , which led to confusion as some people wondered how to manage without anti-perspirant and moisturiser. Some do without them, of course. I read The Moneyless Man and found out how he managed.
One suggestion for soap and shampoo replacement was to grow soapwort in the garden. Interesting; this was done in the Wartime Farm TV prog., I think.Erma Bombeck, American writer: "If I had my life to live over again... I would have burned the pink candle, sculptured like a rose, that melted in storage." Don't keep things 'for best' - that day never comes. Use them and enjoy them now.0 -

18. TBS Skin Defensives Hydrating Freshener 15ml - WNBA but think this has long since been discontinued anyway!MFW 2017 #123 2018: £1,852.64/£39,200 (4.7%)0 -
Asset, I'm sorry about your kitty
No use ups here, but three non-bought ins from Lush:
Freeze shower gel 100ml
Ne Worry Pas bath bomb
Queen of Hearts soap 100g.
A beautiful friend visited the Poole store and brought me back some Retro goodies! Not feeling too bad about this as they're all loved and will be used up
Went to a car boot yesterday in the hopes of clearing out some stuff, only sold a few things and made £10. For five hours standing in the cold, I can't say it was particularly worth it! I don't want to get on ebay, so can anyone recommend a less rainy way to sell paperback books?No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries in January!UU: 5, IN: 2Total Stash: 99 - ultimate target 33 (year start 99)0 -
