    I have a uu

    Body Shop Shea Beautifying Dry Oil 100ml - Finally it is gone, DH used the last bit last night. It is nice and lasts ages but I prefer lotions and butters.

    sold two small foundations on flea bay for £8 each free post so not a huge amount once the 20% for ebay/paypal plus postage
    sold an item this week with post at £3.60 that I charged £4 for so with 20% off for fees means it really cost me 80p to send out of the cost of item(makes sense to me)think it is so unfair that fees come off postage and then buyers moan about the price!!!!

    Hello ladies, I hope everyone is well. It's my birthday today and it's raining even though we've had glorious weather all week. How typical! :rotfl: Never mind, I'm off out for a mooch around the shops this afternoon.

    I am pleased to say my shampoo has one last use and so does my moisturiser so I will shortly be declaring some long awaited use ups. I really must update my Project Pan list and post some more photos. :o
    Time may be a great healer, but it's a lousy beautician.... :/

    Afternoon all! Today is a day of distraction.

    VERY nervous about blokie flying out to Boston at 5pm so I'm doing all I can to keep myself busy!

    I went to the gym for circuits as usual and have had lunch, now to shower before I go for laser on my legs, bit of shopping while I'm in the town too (Royal Wootton Bassett) will kill more time.

    He'll touch down about midnight-1am our time, I am calling a friend at 7pm so that should make light work of an hour at least, then I'll probably spend ages obsessively tracking his flight :o

    Trying not to worry............. :cool:

    Happy birthday Babafette - hope you have a wonderful day! :bdaycake:

    Ooh we all loved your last PP photos, please do come back and show us!

    kadison, try not to worry, I'm sure he'll be fine. Sounds like you have lots of lovely (perhaps not the laser!) things lined up to keep your mind occupied, too. Do you mind me asking why so concerned - do you have a fear of flying?

    Happy birthday Babafette! :)

    3 UUs and 3 INs so break even! :o

    UUs
    Herbal Essences shampoo sachet - WBA
    Herbal Essences conditioner sachet - WBA
    Molton Brown exfoliating soap bar - rubbish WNBA but one bar left...

    INs
    Herbal Essences Bee Strong Conditioner 400ml
    From YBD box: Oil Arganic Dry oil
    Archeia Rose cream

    I was very good and even though it was on offer I did not buy the Bee Strong matching shampoo because I want to use up my stash.

    I think I have graduated in conditioners! :T
    I now only have 3 in my stash:
    1 leave in conditioner
    1 normal conditioner
    1 travel sized conditioner.
    I think that is acceptable for me and I am happy with that.

    My first graduation! :o :j
    :heart: Ageing is a privilege not everyone gets.

    hello ladies happy birthday babafette hope you have a good day. so much for saving my money got asked on Wednesday if I would like a kitten thought about for all of 30 seconds and said yes so I should get here tomorrow, not seen her yet as my parents have been dealing with the man that I am having her from he really does not want to get rid of her but has 2 cats already and they rally don't like the kitten. my parents might take her to wales with them and then I will get her back when I move down there it depends on wether she gets on with my cat in my flat as when we are in wales the cats will have 1/2 an acre to run around in and I will be living in a house. so I will now have 2 black cats of which neither were panned I got sooty from a neighbour when he was a kitten because the lady that had him didn't like him and now this kitten. and sooty got his first injection yesterday for his allergies he has to have them for the rest of his life. sorry for the long post just really happy getting a new fur baby.

    Babafette, I hope that you have agreat birthday in spite of he weather.

    Kadison, well done on the distraction techniques, I am sure that you will think of more as the day progresses.

    Lily, new fur babe sounds so cute, I like kitties but have not shared my home with any for a very long time, we usually have dogs share our home, for a long time lived in "no pet" homes or near to a busy road, we are in a good location now, but have no-one to look after one when we are away (same applies to hens, I would like them too).

    Yay to Clutterfee's graduation:j

    Three quick UU:

    UU #114-116: Toothpastes! It infuriates me no end when we end up with multiple tubes on the go but they've all finished in the same day :) I have replaced with one mild Tesco one for the boys and a Superdrug whitening one for me and DH and that's the last of the toothpaste stash! :T One graduation under my belt, I think I have more than a dozen when I started :o I'll obv have to buy more but won't post as INs or UUs unless I start stockpiling again!

    The handwash is almost finished and there's only one more in the cupboard :T I feel like I'm finally starting to get somewhere :)

    happy birthday Babafette

    im sure he will be fine kadison, i know the extra airport security makes people more nervous but im sure it will make flights safer for us all in the long run.

    aiming to have a good UU to INs ration this month. im hoping to not buy anything but because of birthday and wedding anni later on in the month things may be added but it wont be my fault.
