    2 small UUs...

    FOM body contour serum - WNBA, had to apply to wet skin and I don't think cellulite treatments ever work.
    Ralph Lauren Romance perfume sample vial - WNBA, nice enough but others I prefer.

    Echoing best wishes to Sundaysgirl and commiserations to Kadison about the car bills.

    Possible enabling alert:-

    I popped into local Boots for pain killers and noticed that the Indeed Labs stand had been removed:(:(:(, it seems that my (very small) branch will not be stocking it any more, the SA pointed me to the odds and ends corner where I found 2 tubes left at the current price of £16.65, same price on-line but OOS. My moan, is that I usually stock up when on special offer, and now will not know then there is an offer on, so if any devotees on here happen to notice in the future good prices would they please post:)

    So, first IN for April 30ml Hydraluron, not an un-necessary spend, as I will soon finish current one and have only 1 back up.

    Morning lovelies, hope you're all well. I've been AWOL this week due to work deadlines and the crazy lead up to my wedding - which is today :j. Can't sleep, too blinkin' excited!

    Off to catch up then will report my UUs - no INs, not even free ones it honeymoon toiletries :A

    Hope you have an amazing day - that it's all you dreamt of and the start of a long happy marriage.

    May the shopping fairies be kind too x

    OMG so today started off with me trying to sort out our livingroom (toy) cupboard as OH was getting a new bike delivered (his prev bike was stolen out of our shed, a planned robbery.....they screwed the lock off the shed) so he won't keep the bike in the shed........anyway, I digress......in making space in the cupboard it meant we ha a spare bookshelf which I've now moved to my bedroom to put my stash on rather than in the boxes and bags it's been hiding in and OMG indeed, it certainly rings home just how bad my issue is when it's all out 'staring' at me :eek:

    I NEED to regain control of this!!!

    sundaysgirl hope you and your 'other half' have the most fantastic day on what is the first day of the rest of your lives together.

    sjprmc01, i was watching a bit of the hoarder next door last night and there was a lady on who hoards sweets. she doesnt actually eat them all but panics if she doesnt get something incase the shop sell out before she goes in again. and she has to buy two of things so she is safe and has a spare in the event she does actually eat one of them. it did make me question why i have around 20 body lotions and am complaining that the one ive just used up smells like its gone off.
    ive also recently bought 3 cleansers when i have an almost full tube and now realise there are possibly another 2 unopened lurking in my stash.

    i think im using things up better now ive taken them out of their gift boxes and put like with like so i can see what i have. i have two cupboards and a shelf full of stash would be happy to get it down to a cupboard (or even a shelf in a cupboard) but i think if i dont buy again that is possibly 2 years away!

    I guess you could see this as a true LBM; having it all staring you in the face might just be what you need to put out down the Advantage Card and step away from the body butters?! Says me after yesterday :rotfl: It's also much less easy to hide purchases from your OH if they're on show. Depending on how observant your OH is I guess.

    Sundaysgirl, wishing you the BEST wedding day. Enjoy every moment xxx

    That'd be why I keep one of everything out and the rest is in my special cupboard
