So will have a few ins after all this month but for £3 I couldn't turn it down!

Looks like I'm just as susceptible to the "bargains" of others as I am seriously tempted by this :rotfl: Will have a good read of the T&Cs when I get home from work, it's not working on my phone.

Love the amazon wish list idea too. Thankyou!

Argh!
Wish I'd read this earlier as I've some Fair that I need to ebay.
I used to wear it but it was a tad dark for me so now I use Porcelain.
The ones I need to ebay would also be on the darker side of Fair because I would always use the lighter ones first if that makes sense.

If it's on Advanced Orders now might be a good time for me to list...

I did look on ebay first but didn't want to buy and then the colour not be right as I can't return it as I can with QVC. They all seemed to have bids on them though so you should definitely try listing yours.

Another freebie here if anyone's interested. It's for the first 5000 only and you can choose either a scrub or moisturiser 7ml sample.

Thank you girlybags. I have applied for the Exfoliator as I'm down to two now :rotfl:

I have another UU this morning :-

Elemis Frangipani Monoi Melt oil 35ml. As you all know I am practically drowning in this stuff. Don't want to open another just yet though. Think I'll pull out the Grace Cole body lotion that I got for Christmas to use with my Gok Wan Rose Oil body wash. Let's hope they don't clash too much!

No INs or UUs to declare but just wanted to announce that I've now been on this challenge for 2 years . Any excuse to celebrate! In that time my stash has gone down from 335 to 203 (which doesn't sound like much but that includes any essentials going in and out) and I've spent about £70 altogether in those years - which is a big deal for me and a lot less than I used to.

So aside from talking to lovely people here, this is proof the system works (at least for me). :beer:

Heh, noel and mrs m-p, I was concerned that I sounded as though I was chucking my toys out the pram with my last post when my tongue was firmly in my cheek. I figure that if anyone's going to buy they'll do it without my "help", I might as well try and save you a few pennies :money:

KT, have you used Ever Riche before? Just looking for a review of the L'Oreal sulphate free range for when my stash is dwindled. They probably won't make it by then but, still

I read a post asking for Rituals recommendations but I forget who is was from, sorry I love their pink range, the body cream, body scrub and foaming body wash are all my HG. That said, the scent is strong so I would sniff before you buy if possible. Personally, I love it so much I would wear it as a perfume if they did it. Which they don't :mad: :rotfl: The white range (Magic Touch?) is lovely too.

I am going to start a "wish list" on my phone so when I get a hankering for a particular product I can write it down and think hard for a few weeks before I buy anything. I'm hoping I'll have lost interest before my credit card sees the light of day.

I have developed a second head, at least the spot on my chin is so large it could pass for one. I think it might be The Ultimelt to blame but I will persevere for a bit longer before I point the finger firmly in its direction.

Thanks fizzwhizz, it was me.

catriona - I must have been here about the same time too or longer even. I think you have been more successful than me though.

My cleanser is spluttering, my eye make up remover only has a couple of days worth left and I have a shower gel and mini body butter which should be gone this week too. Feels great as nothing is going into the spaces I am creating.

A chunk of Lush snow cake soap- I love this, it was a couple of years old and I think I still have more in my stash when I bought about 2kg of the stuff one sale time

Is this a white/creamy colour with a gold topping? I think that's what I got in my gift set for Xmas but lost the packaging so not sure. Do you use this in the bath/shower or just as a hand soap?

I've had it loose on the bathroom window ledge for a while and it was acting as a sort of air freshener. However, I can't smell it any more.

I pop all my lush bits in my drawers for a while before use especially my undies drawer they do brill at giving them a lasting smell

No ins or outs ATM but should finish a candy mountain tomorrow morning

What do you think of the Gok Wan one (see what I did there? ) I've just started using it and I'm underwhelmed at the moment. I'd heard great things about this range but it's just not living up to expectations. It doesn't seem to smell of anything much.

I also like 'layering' products, as in using shower gel, body lotion and perfume from the same range. It's not possible with all items but it does partly account for the reason that my stash is so large.

Good idea. Think I'll give that a go. Only concern is if the soap transfers on to the clothes and makes me itchy! :eek:

Do you know if i can just cancel the direct debit after the £3 has come out? the t&cs say min subscription is 12 months so i'm not sure?
