  • Morning ladies! Thread's been moving fast!

    I have more UUs -
    33. Balance Me Super Toning Shower Gel 100ml - this was really lovely but costs quite a lot, so WMBA on offer…
    34. L'Oreal Everriche shampoo sachet - WBA, like this formula a lot.
    35. Yellow Owl lip balm (vanilla flavour) - WMBA, but prefer a less sticky lip balm.

    Two uu from yesterday

    BS Fuzzy Peach Bath & Shower Gel - used this as bubble bath for the kids and it did the job well.

    Dr Bronners Castille Soap in Citrus - 50ml.

  • Woop, I'm on a roll!

    36. Aromatherapy Associates Triple Rose Hydrating Cream 30ml - WNBA, way too expensive and didn't really suit my skin.
    37. E45 cream 125ml - WNBA unless eczema came back. Rubbish as an all over moisturiser, way too greasy.

  • Morning All,

    Please channel me some good vibes if you have a spare min this morning, I'm trying to will my little car to pass its MOT today :D I'm also trying to curb the temptation to go shopping in the meantime in case it does end up costing me an arm and a leg! :eek:

    I've some more outs to declare also - on a roll this month, clearing the decks for Christmas, my stash is getting so small now I'm actually a little anxious :o:

    Out are:
    Too Faced Primed & Poreless Bronze
    L'Occitane Cream Mask sachet
    L'Occitane Brightening Mask sachet
    Decleor Aromessence Solaire

    Currently pondering what's going on my PP list for Dec, achieved all of Nov's target UU bar one which I knew would be the toughest, S&G Righteous Butter, if I'd have used it every day it would be gone but there's probably about a quarter to a third left - when its cold the last thing I feel like doing is stripping off the layers and slathering on a thick cream like this! :eek: Although my legs do thank me for it... Will persevere and it'll soon be gone although not before the end of the month I don't think

    Hey everyone,
    I have just been catching up after the weekend, lots going on! :j
    I have enjoyed seeing pics of stashes, reading chatty posts and all the skin care and anti-ageing debate :D

    I also tried to do the reebok trainer glitch this morning, so thanks for the link kadison. Couldn't get it to work in the end but I did make some VERY pretty trainers :rotfl:

    So I stayed at my cousins on Saturday and I can now declare the following as GAs:

    Lush Snow Fairy shower gel 100ml
    Lush Handmade star soap made by me 50g
    Lush Golden wonder bath bomb
    Lush Frog Prince bath bomb
    Lush Pop in the Bath bubble
    Lush Comforter bubble
    Lush 1/2 Brightside bubble
    Lush 1/2 Blue skies bubble
    Lush Santa's sack bubble
    Lush Dreamtime melt
    Lush Sea Spray styling spray


    Not a bad lot of stuff to be off my hands. And my cousin adores Lush! She is always super happy when I come with goodies, even if its only half of a bubble bar.

    Probably a bit like you and your friend OxfordOwl, I bet she is also grateful for somebody to take some of her stash off her hands :D

    Channeling you some good vibes for your car..
    I know what you mean, it is going to be very strange having a small stash when I am so used to my big one. And I've always had a big one because my mum is also a toiletries hoarder so there were always a million and one things to use in our house :rotfl:
    But I am really looking forward to having a small stash, to me its not really logical to have so much so I don't know why I do it!! Arghh! :rotfl:

    And PP...I can't remember what I put on my November one, but I shall make one for December and my god it shall be gone by the new year :D

    Do you think we will have loads of newbies in Jan? That would be exciting :j

    Thank you very much, it failed :eek: but only on one thing and they can fix it this afternoon so I'm happy with that, especially as she's a bit of an old lady so can't ask for much more! :D Got a ticking off from OH for agreeing to have the work done without asking how much it would be but I was just relieved to be able to get it sorted and avoid a nightmare getting to work tomorrow, especially as I've got a big meeting I don't want to be stressed for!

    We always have a flurry of newbies in Jan, I think its a lot of ppl's new year's resolution after splurges in the sales... We generally whittle back down to the hard core though after a month or two :rotfl: That said I was a Jan newbie and I'm resolutely still here and will remain even after the stash is totally nailed, its part of my support system :)

    moneylessmac - Well done for that holiday fund. I am going to start doing it again from now.

    emsjune - I hope that all is well with the MOT.

    I have creamed from neck to toe with some Avon Skin So Soft Body Cream in Woodland Fresh fragrance (on my PP list) it has been in my stash for years, it is a struggle to use it as the perfume is to me now, so very strong, just a quarter of the pot left to go now thank goodness:eek:
