    Hi ladies

    I'm still here :) the stash is fairly depleted these days (apart from make up). I managed to force myself to sell a few things on ebay and didn't do too badly really. I am trying to work myself up to selling some more things.

    Happy anniversary fizz, sorry to hear holiday was stressful at times but glad you enjoyed your time with OH, sounds good fun. Hope your skin clears up soon - poor you :(

    Really sorry to hear about the job assett, I would also agree with what Fiasco said. Hope that it doesn't get you down too much.

    How are you doing wondercollie? Hope you're feeling a bit better.

    Lovely to see you Val and mcculloch. Glad you had a good holiday Val and hope that things are improving for you mucculloch. It's great to see you both, I was wondering how you were doing :)

    Love that you got a reply from CH maddiemay - amazing!!

    I have a few INS and 1 UU -

    IN:
    146-147 - Lee Stafford Dry Shampoo
    148 - Lee Stafford hot shots for blondes

    Needed the dry shampoo but bought extra due to offers. Usually buy Batiste but thought I would try something different. Not overly impressed so far and prefer Batiste.

    UU:
    229 - The Body Shop Pink Grapefruit Puree Body Lotion 250ml - WNBA, love the smell but not moisturising enough.

    Just one out today :D

    UU – Lush – Candy Mountain Bubble Bar.
    Probably WNBA. It was an unwanted gift my mother was given for Xmas, passed on to me. It was pleasant enough but it contains glitter and actually smells a little too sickly sweet for my tastes. If I was given it again I wouldn't turn it down, but it's not something I'd buy myself.
    New to this money saving lark. Any tips greatly received.

    No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries 2018 - Not going well!!

    Hi everyone. I had a very slow last month and am desperate for some UU's! Apart from a foot cream that I have cut open, nothing else seems remotely close to finishing.

    Also I've had a real craving for some retail therapy. If I focus on make up which I don't include in my stash... that's ok, right?

    Hi ladies,

    It's been lovely catching up on the thread and I realise how much I have missed you all and the thread itself.

    Another UU today: Boots Royal Jelly hand wash. I used this at work and liked it. I remember buying it in the Jan sales so it's lasted well considering it was cheap on the sale. I have a spare bottle of handwash at home that I bought specifically for work however my lovely friend here has replaced the handwash in the bathroom (I used a different one due to the really cheap one we previously had making my skin dry and sore) with a Dove one which hasn't had an affect on my skin so far so may save the spare one for at home as we use two at a time (one in kitchen and one in bathroom).

    I did order some L'Occitane handwash from QVC prior to my holidays but it was on Advanced Order. I had to ring them to change my Credit Card details and was told that the order was not due to be despatched until I was away so I cancelled the order (!!) Must be a reformed character !!:rotfl:
    Back for the No Buying Toiletries challenge. I pledge to only buy when I run out of a product that is not already in my stash no matter what wonderful emails land in in my Inbox or threads I read on MSE re: glitches!

    Hello all, can I ask some advice, blokie and I are off to a barn dance at the weekend, I've tried on soooo many checked shirts my eyes hurt, unfortunately I've discovered I still suit neither checks nor shirts! I looked okay in a couple of sleeveless ones but I'm not confident enough to go sleeveless all night and I have nothing suitable to wear over it.

    Question is - if I went in a dress, do you think I'd be the only one not in jeans and a checked shirt? I don't have any western accessories that go with the dress to 'western' it up.......my only comfort is that I think the top of the dress looks 'barn dancey'....:cool:

    The dress....

    Well, it doesn't really look barn-dancy to me, but maybe not everyone dresses up? Could you add a cowboy hat as a nod to fancy dress?

    Not a chance, my head doesn't fit into hats, it's been a lifelong problem!

    EDIT: Ignore me, outfit sorted! One of the checked shirts I ordered looks fab with leggings instead of jeans, so that's that *phew*
