  • Reading about the Ebay postage charge really just confirms that I'm doing the right thing by not bothering. I'm going to give any new items suitable for a gift or part of to families who can't afford presents at Christmas through a scheme our council run, far better than the hassle and £1 I might have made if I sold £10 items on Ebay I think and a massive feel good factor to boot.:)
    Debt free and busy treating myself:)

    No more toiletries/make up until I've used what I've got stashed since Jan 2011, graduated October 2012. Restocked Dec 13..damn those sales

    Evening,

    UU:

    25. Dove Nourishing body wash shea butter and vanilla 250ml - WBA, especially at glitchy Boot$ price ;)

    26. Biotherm clarifying lotion 30ml - WNBA, this was a freebie and was fine but others I prefer

    Evening!

    I just filled my basket at Molton Brown and then closed the window a bit sharpish :o I don't need any of it, I just love the sound and I am really into posh shower gels!

    I have got a new fetish anyway now (this is a buying fetish not a perversion :D), gone from filling up my knicker drawer with pretty drawers and now have transferred onto candles, I love lighting candles at this time of year, it fills the room with warmth, so two expensive ones from TKMaxx! £7.99 each down from £30 so hopefully they'll give out a good strongish fragrance!

    Few more TAs that have been loitering around for too long -

    160 - Ministry of Sound perfume - surprisingly nice but was really difficult to get out of the bottle
    161 - Far Away perfume
    162 - Loreal Nutrisummer Gradual Tanner 200ml
    163 - Nads Ingrow Solution 125ml
    164 - Superdrug Extra Firm Hold Hairspray

    All of these were nearly empty and had been for a long time so decided to just get rid.
  • Hi ladies,
    I haven't been able to keep up with the thread, life's still pretty rough.
    I hope you are all doing well, I just popped on to declare some uu"s

    Philip Kingsley shampoo - the thickening one, I have to say I really like this, I have
    another one in the stash

    Liz Earle hair oil, totally love this and have already replaced it

    L'occitane precious cream, a magazine freebie, would love to try this again if it wasn't so expensive

    I also have in's but I can't remember them all:o

    Happy pampering xo

    I'm the same, charities get a lot more from me these days, there's so much that's not worth bothering selling, you may as well give it away!

    Oh me too, I just LOVE the place! You never know what you're going to find, it's brilliant! :D:D:D

    Morning all

    Have a uu

    Philosophy Purity Made Simple - 30ml, have another this size and 3 x 90ml bottles in the stash so am OK for a while. I used this as a face wash/cleanser in the mornings and quite liked it.

    I also have a TA

    The Simple Eye Makeup Corrector Pen I got in the post, it had a thin, hard tip which didn't do that good a job of correcting more smearing and it wouldn't wipe clean so I would have had to clean with makeup remover - what's the point in that. So I have binned it which is wasteful but there wasn't anything else I could do with it.

    UUs! Yay!

    40. NSpa Vanilla Creme Brulee body cream 75ml - WBA, but it's discontinued. Lovely caramel smell :D
    41. Lush purple bubble bar - WNBA, but that's okay because I don't know what it was in the first place!
    42. Yves Rocher Raspberry Bath Fizzer - WNBA, smelled lovely, but not a lot of fizz or colour, and the smell disappeared quite quickly.
    43. Lush Fresh Farmacy face wash 50g - WNBA, not perfect for my skintype.
    44. Lush Silky Underwear Dusting Powder 60g - WNBA. Enjoyed using, but have no place for it in my routine, really, so it's not worth buying.

    It is one of my favourites:)
