And there was me wondering why it had a picture of a horse on the front;)
I suppose buying from my local farm supply shop should have been a clue. Have you tried it asset as you seem to know the price? What did you think?

INS
3 neutrogena concentrated hand cream

well you didn't mention buying it in a farm supply shop
I've always found anything with horse mentioned in it (except lasagne!! ) is more expensive,:cool: never worked out the difference between horse shampoo and normal shampoo, except price
So my horses just get a cheapy supermarket make. I do use T@sco tea tree shampoo during the summer as I think (hopefully) it'll be good for their skin and less likely to itch. For their tails they get cheap supermarket, I think 1l value bottle is about 50p ish in T - IMO works just as good as Canter or Supreme or any other fancy horse make and much much cheaper! :T I have 2 greys and they get their tails washed almost every other day so the value stuff is just as good. Oh yes and use a little bit of pledge furniture polish for the tails instead of tail detangler

See I can't even be trusted in farm supply shops but I love going as you find some good bargains. I also watch too many youtube videos which is why I picked it up to try (don't have horses) but I think I will give the furniture polish a miss.:rotfl:

Would you ladies count a pallette as one item or many? Hmmm?

Definitely one afaic too, I don't count eyeshadows as part of this challenge but I did tot them up when I was making my list at the beginning. I had 70+ and that was counting all palettes, duos, quads etc as one. I would guess it would have been closer to 200 if I'd done it t'other way :eek:

luvlycake

Just one! :whistle: Oh well...still counts!

OUTs
73 - Benefit eyeshadow pallette, world famous neutrals - given to my Mum. Used a little but the browns are too dark for me and make me look like I've been punched, not overly flattering.
74 - Avon cosmic midnight sky eyeshadow single - a lovely navy blue but, doesn't suit me. Off to Mum it goes. Used once.

Sorry if that wasn't what you wanted to hear But I guess it's swings and roundabouts, if you buy a Sleek palette (for example) you'll only have one IN to declare as opposed to 12 :eek:

luvlycake

Hmm sneaky Lol

I would count a palette as 1 as well but I reckon do whatever suits you

I haven't posted my INS and OUTS on here for a while, so here it goes. Firstly the OUTS -

48 - Christmas Eve Bubble Bar - nearly UU all my Lush Christmas sale items now :rotfl:

1 more out from PP list -

- [STRIKE]La Roche Posay Effaclar Duo [/STRIKE]
- [STRIKE]Benefit it's potent eye cream mini [/STRIKE]
- Sanctuary Body Lotion (this is a big bottle and am not even half way through it, could be a bit ambitious)
- E45 Nourish and restore body lotion
- [STRIKE]Eye make up remover wipes[/STRIKE]
- V05 Heat defence spray
- TBS Olive Shower gel
- [STRIKE]Penguin bubble bar (half gone already)[/STRIKE]
- Melting snowman bath melt
- [STRIKE]Sanctuary hand wash [/STRIKE]
- Original source vanilla bubble bath

All the others on the list continue to splutter or haven't been used yet. The Sanctuary Body lotion now has about a third left, think most of this list will continue next month.

I have loads of INS that I am too embarrassed to list individually! I am now up to 98 INS though. Massive fail! It is all the make up that is the problem, last year I didn't count make up. Might count up my non-make up INS and see how that compares to last years.
