    I think I may need to repurpose my heel genius! It's a real LHJ and I detest touching my/any feet. I feel weird every time I do it but I've been trying, the tube is neverending though and I have more in the stash :/

    I hate feet too! Apart from babies. Which leads me to wonder why I have several foot products in my stash! I use the spray on hot days but that's about it. I get shellac on my fingers but couldn't imagine letting anyone put it on my toes.

    Oh dear I've slipped and I'm also going to be a bit enabley...

    IN - L'Occitane verbena bath foam, big size £5 from Debenhams. They had lots of random bits for sale in the Manchester one...but I just bought this. £20 usually! :o

    Ooh, ooh, ooh, I live near there and LOVE that scent: is it just that one shop? Is it a pricing error? I just looked online and it was the more expensive price...do you think it would be in any other store?

    Whilst on my way to work yesterday I passed a CS and saw in the window some 17 nail polishes (one of the Christmas sets) and a Champneys set (mini sizes). I was so tempted to go back at lunch and get the Champneys one to try but managed to resist. I am in torment about it though.

    I feel your pain, but well done on staying strong...they will still be there for the buying for you once your stash is depleted. :T

    OMG I've just tried to tally up my 'ins' for March and it comes to somewhere between 65-70. I am horrifically naughty!

    I NEED rehab!

    And there was me lusting over the boots Clinique GWP :eek::eek::eek:

    I don't mean to be rude or judgemental, but how on earth do you manage to get that many INs in a month? Tell me most of them are samples/sachets?! :rotfl: It's like people who manage to have tons of UUs in a month: I'm in awe, but have no idea how you manage it, unless you are UU samples etc.!

    Boring UU to report: One pack of Skin System cosmetic cotton wool pads (from ASDA), I bought the one that comes with two packs so still got another to use up :P
    Probably WBA, but want to invest in those re-useable ones that you put in the washing machine, although not until I get my own place!

    I haven't heard of the reusable ones. Would be a bit worried in case they somehow got 'lost' in the washing machine, iykwim?

    Not sure about other Debenhams stores, might be worth ringing your local. Manchester had a few random bits all wrapped in cellophane and rafia...left over Christmas pressies perhaps? But they had like a full shelf of the verbena bath foam!
    Cookie, I think you're tame. :heart2:

    I feel your pain Val. I went to a couple of charity shops today and spotted one of the Sanctuary Mini Must-Haves sets for £2.95. I was so tempted to buy it, but it would have been about 50p cheaper than that in the Boots January sale and I really didn't need any of the items in it as I have Sanctuary stuff in my stash. Despite this, I still keep thinking about it. :embarasse
    Time may be a great healer, but it's a lousy beautician.... :/

    Good evening everyone :hello:

    I have another UU to report. Thank goodness.

    REN Neroli & grapefruit body cream 25ml - This was quite nice, but for the price of a full sized tube, I WNBA. This particular one had come from a hotel stay, so I've used it when I've been away at weekends and then used up at home.
    Sealed Pot Challenge #021 #8 975.71 #9 £881.44 #10 £961.13 #11 £782.13 #12 £741.83 #13 £2135.22 #14 £895.53 #15 £1240.40 #16 £1805.87 #17 £1820.01 declared

    UU Sanctuary Spa hand cream. Have two more bottles of this to get through, but going to see if I can decant some lotion into the empty tube to help me get through some of my lotions and body moisturisers for a while.

    I feel like I'm ages away from getting another UU. I really could do with finding a boost from somewhere.
