    We are watching you..............:rotfl:


    My Clinique order came. I'd mucked it up though and ordered 2 x clarifying lotion instead of a liquid soap and a clarifying lotion. Ones a mild and ones a 2 I had emailed them but they've sent the order out before they had a chance to fix it I think :(

    Hello ladies, just checking in. Belated birthday wishes to Dolly and good luck with the exams Parisian.

    I have no use ups to report I'm afraid and I don't feel like I'm making very much progress with my stash.

    I've just counted up how many body lotions I have left in my stash and it's 21. :eek: How depressing. I'm actually feeling quite down about that. :(
    This is exactly how I'm feeling at the moment. I look at everything jammed in the cupboards and wonder how on earth I will ever use it all. Yet I still can't resist buying more when I see a bargain. :(

    OK I've ordered a few things but taken off all non-essentials. Can breathe again. Will declare them when they arrive.
    Cookie, I think you're tame. :heart2:

    I did well today. Savers had Jergens and Aveeno lotions at bargain prices (£1.79 & £2.99). I resisted, and was glad because I remembered later that the Avon oat - based lotion I like best is very much like Aveeno and I have a BIG bottle of that to use up.

    Just been in Lidl and they had Madam Glamour candles and gift sets containing shower gel and body lotion. I don't like it luckily! They also had the new 'Diamonds' perfume. I tested it but already had perfume on so don't know if I like it or not.

    Will have to remember to not wear perfume next time I go. Although it's probably best if I don't like it. I don't have a massive stash of perfume but shouldn't have to buy any for a long time -not that it's ever stopped me before!

    hi ladies, sorry have been awol as dear sister staying with me,just had a lovely wrap at a spa :)
    was fed up this week as sold some No 7 eyeshadow(£9.50 at Boots) for £1.60 plus £2.60 postage (she beat someone else at the last second too)and she emailed me and said the postage was extortionate and would I reduce it!!!I emailed back and said no as she should have seen the price of it before she bid and I would be making hardly anything once the fees were taken and I got absue back!!!!she has not paid for it of course so now have to do another unpaid claim where I will of course be unable to leave neg feedback as a seller!!!!!!!!!!
    is it worth it???????

    UUs:

    49. Elemis Skin Nourishing Shower Cream 100ml - this was a GWP and, whilst I enjoyed using it, WNB as wouldn't pay Elemis prices for shower gel

    50. Sanctuary Body Butter 100ml - HG, WBA but plenty of other lotions/butters to get through first!

    And a TA:

    1. No7 Revitalising Hand Saviour 25ml - this was sealed but annoyingly had gone off. Unless, of course, it is meant to be a watery neon yellow rancid-smelling gunk :eek: oh well, plenty of other hand creams to choose from...

    Not having a good evening so decided to pamper myself. Have showered using my favourite Foamburst, smothered myself in my favourite Gok body butter and treated my feet using the electric foot file I was sent to test, some intensive moisturiser and my cotton socks. :)

    I've just sat down to watch Don't Tell The Bride with a glass of wine and feel a bit better now. :D

  • A UU here LUSH The Sacred Truth face mask, WMBA but I do love brazened honey and none of the others come close, pray they have it in next time I make the trip:)
    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

    Just been catching up on the thread.

    Happy Birthday Dolly :j hope you had a lovely day. Well done on your lack of toiletries purchased! Amazing!

    Hope you had/are having a lovely break in Edinburgh Fiasco and hope your hangover has gone now Val! I am no good with hangovers.

    Good luck on the exams (think it was Parisian who mentioned exams but apologies if I have got this wrong, it was a few pages back!)

    March is a real slow month for me UU wise. On the plus side, I went into Boots twice at the weekend and didn't buy anything!! I think this was because I had already spent a fortune on clothes that day :o oh dear.

    2 UU:

    36 - Bourjois Happy Light Matte Primer 15ml - WMBA, lasted ages and seemed to do the job reasonably well. Not fully convinced though. Have got the new Rimmel matte primer to try next. Am a bit worried about trying a new primer though as my skin is so spotty at the moment.

    37 - Nivea Daily Essentials Eye make up remover 125ml - WBA, using up the cheap eye make up remover pads I bought in poundland now though. Def prefer using a separate remover and cotton pads though as the poundland ones dry out really quickly.
