rosemary54

1st nov and an in already!!!
£2 Glamour mag got me an £11 nail polish and a body shop card worth either £3,£15 or £100:)plus 2 perfume samples
not a bad mag either as lots of beauty stuff in.
had a thought whilst browsing the shelf...how come handbag and full size mags cost the same?
also bought woman and home and found a coupon for some origins stuff:)

Completely off topic but wondered what your thoughts were on this as I know we have discussed things like this on this thread before - I have loads of clothes/shoes/books to get rid of. I was planning on doing a car boot this weekend but I don't know how popular car boots are this time of year? I have Ebayed anything that I thought would sell ok. Don't know whether I would be better off doing car boot or facebook sell page? Would love to give a lot of it away but as you can see from my sig. I need the money! I will give away whatever doesn't sell.

FB selling pages are faster, but expect about a quarter of the people you sell to to let you down, but once they do, report them to the page admin. Also always ramp your prices up a little bit because you'll get knocked down (car boot philosophy ).

If you can find an indoor car boot then go for it, but I wouldn't expect to get much from an outdoor car boot in November, HTH x

Thanks Kadison. Think I will try the FB pages as no indoor car boots near me.

Back on topic, I just saw a foundation online that costs £75 :eek: madness!

Thank you Maddiemay for the new thread.
I am in once again.
I am still adding to the stash list, I have lost track a bit of the UUs but ah well
I will tot it all up soon enough and then I can work on some figures that I want to achieve before the year is out.
There will be a lot of Lush INs in December I am sure
My snow fairy 100g is spluttering so hoping to finish that today
Also recent UUs that I think I haven't declared yet are my Lush B Never..shower gel 100g and a mini Dove Deoderant. Both gone now, yay!
OH took the colgate sample away so I am hoping that doesnt come back too. Oh and the OH also finished off the Ponche, I will be buying him some more for Xmas though
At least for now he will be working through the other items in our stash. I'm moving him onto my Happy Hippy and Sonic Death Monkey :rotfl:

Count me in again, last month was busy so was not around much. However I actually managed to NOT buy anything (Other than Christmas gifts - that don't count!) Not updated sig yet will do in a few days, used quite a bit up last month, and thrown a few things away!

New list coming soon! :j

I'm in again!

2 OUTs today...good start...
1 - mini batiste tropical - good product but very coconutty. Might not get in this scent again.
2 - Timotei pure green tea conditioner - does the job but I had 3 or 4 of these to use so I'm now sick of it! However, this was the last one! Woo!

OK, I maybe shouldn't have given such a push to get those last few OUTs at the end of last month. I now have nothing to declare at the start of this one!

Hi All,

Thank you Maddiemay for starting the new thread. I am in, as ever! Oct ended up as a break even (20 IN/20 UU) for me with a final IN of conditioner that came with a hair colour I've bought but not applied yet so could've waited til Nov but didn't! Determined to have a reduction in the stash for Nov as next month is likely to see Christmas related IN.... I've a few splutterers so hopefully will get off to a good start.

Project Pan - top of my hit list is a full size S&G Righteous Butter that's about four fifths full, if I use this religiously, I should be able to do it!! Will be a challenge indeed as I'm not overly fond of this, I don't think it sinks in very well and its that 'classic' S&G scent I'm sick to the back teeth of! I think, without consulting the list, that this is more or less my last body lotion/butter which is amazing as this used to be one of the worst areas of my stash, along with shower gel. Will treat myself to something nice to replace it as a reward! I'll update my stash list before I pick any other items out to target as didn't do it last month so not entirely sure where I'm up to. I was a bit wishy washy last month and chose things I was using anyway that only had a couple of uses left so wasn't really much of a challenge, this month's will be tougher!

And if you do end up liking the Gemspa product you mentioned on the end of Oct's thread, I've noticed HB's selling these lately at a good price so maybe they bought the stock up if the line's discontinued.

I'm really underwhelmed with Boots Christmas efforts this year so that's definitely going to help me challenge wise :rotfl:

Going to sort my stash list out now
