    Hello Em! Sorry to hear that you're having a bumpy time at the mo. I'm glad that things improved a little today though :)

    Honey - what a relief that your DS's sight returned and that the hospital are following up in a thorough/proper way. I really hope that once he's through the MRI everything is clear and you can look back on it as a blip (albeit a terrifying one. *Sends hugs*)

    Nillionaire - I hope that you are recovering from your shocking situation. *Sends more hugs*. I'm not sure what else to say! Take care of yourself and I hope all your other housemates are ok.

    Roguey - *hugs to you too*. I hope that your Mum has stabilized? Please take care of yourself. (I agree with everyone here that has said that it is not your fault, in any way at all.)

    An awful lot of people in the wars at the moment! :eek:

    I've been reading along but haven't been up to joining in. I've been under the weather (in an undramatic kind of way :rotfl:)

    Kadison - I was glad to read that your BF touched down safely :) He'll be back in no time :)

    Fizzwhizz - I hope your DSD behaves better soon!! :eek:

    Sam - I hope your very determined/naughty tortoise is behaving better! :rotfl:

    I have UUs to declare and I need to work out my totals from last month. I'll try to come back later...

    Wil xx

    Tenth Anniversary Combo Breaker Debt-free and Proud!
    Hugs to all that need them. Just back from holidays...again but nothing else planned for some time so hopefully I'll find time to catch up with myself soon:) Lots of UUs:
    L’Occitane Cherry Blossom perfume- loved this
    Wilko Sensitive SPF 15 Sun Cream
    No7 protect & perfect intense night cream- ok but not worth £22:eek:
    Timotei Vivid Colour Conditioner
    Right Guard Total defence 5



    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

    I am going to compile a list tomorrow of my stash - do I have to include all travel/small sizes?? What are the categories for items?


    Bought is to buy. Brought is to bring.

    I too have had no luck with the Chubby Sticks!! Been to 5 different shops now. I am convinced that they only sent out a very limited number of magazines with the chubby sticks on!! Don't know why I am that fussed really as I barely use the ones that I have :rotfl: Can't remember who was asking but they come out a lot sheerer than the colour on the tube I think.

    Sorry to hear you had a bad weekend emsjune, poor you. Hope things improve very soon for you.

    Hope you're feeling better willowbee

    Glad to hear that people have been enjoying some concerts, sound fab. Excellent to hear that your son is doing well too honey.

    I have some UU and some INS.

    UU:

    118 - Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant mini - WNBA, was a stash relic from a magazine subscription years ago :rotfl: have now UU all face scrubs! Going to try not using one now and see how I get on.

    119 - Batiste Cherry Dry Shampoo 200ml - WBA and already have another one in use.

    120 - Calvin Klein CKIN2U 100ml - sold at a mini car boot this weekend, was nice enough but it was taking me ages to get through it. Decided to get rid as I have a ton of other perfumes I much prefer.

    121-123 - 3 eyeshadows/palettes - to be sold at another car boot hopefully (I am really trying to declutter!)

    124 - Maybelline baby lips in peach - don't like this at all

    I have listed a number of make up items on Ebay so am hoping they will sell.

    Now for the INS :eek: -

    117 - Benefit They're Real mascara
    118 - Benefit Hoola Bronzer

    Bought both of the above in a set for £30 and it came with 2 samples of the Porefessional which I have listed on Ebay. Not a bad price but really not needed! I need to throw away my current They're Real mascara but was going to try a cheaper one next instead :o

    119 - Superfacialist Salicylic Acid Clay mask - wanted to try this as it's new. Nearly UU my current face mask that I am using.

    120 - L'oreal nail varnish boudoir rose
    121 - L'oreal lip liner in honey
    122 - L'oreal lip liner in rosewood
    123 - Maybelline dream sun in golden tropics
    124 - Rimmel lip liner in east end snob
    125 - Natural collection lip liner in almond

    This is where it all went very wrong. I became obsessed in Boots with finding the perfect pinky nudey brown lipliner :rotfl: I talked myself out of buying a Mac one but then bought all this instead! Not very :money: I thought I had been cured of my shopping problem but it seems I still have a way to go :eek:

    There are no rules.
    Some just list their entire stash in one long list, some into lists of skincare, Bodycare, haircare, others(like me) sort them into sub categories like cleansers, toners, moisturisers, shampoo, body lotions, etc. I find the latter works for me because it is easier for me to find things when I've used them up and need to remove them from my list.
    When I started I did list all my samples, but not so much now because if I listed every magazine sample I got, I'd be here all day! :o

    If anyone comes across a Chubby Stick in their travels, either or both shades, please could you grab it for me? I've never tried them so would love to see what the hype is all about.
    Thanks.

  • Morning all,

    Have 3 UU's from my shower this morning!

    Herbal Essences Hello Hydration shampoo (mini) - was OK, I do quite like the herbal essences range so might buy again when i've got rid of all my other shampoos/conditioners.

    Pantene Aqua Light Conditioner (mini) - WNBA - didn't do much conditioning wise, maybe better for someone with fine hair as it's 'light'. This was abit of a stash relic from my gym bag anyway so nothing lost.

    Champneys Distant Shores Body Scrub (mini) - WNBA - loved the body butter but the scrub didn't smell as much and there wasn't enough abrasiveness there, not many crystals in it or whatever they're called!

    Hope everyone is doing ok this week. I get to see my BFF today:T yay she lives in Reading but is back up here for a few days so we're spending the day together.
    Enjoy your Tuesday everyone xxx
