I'm in again. Not that you ladies are anything other than a bad influence on me :P

May I request you fix the title though please? Many thanks.

Errr, if I knew how to I would:o, but it will not edit:eek:

If there is a way to do this, perhaps someone will sing out please:D

I don't think you can edit the thread titles. I've seen far worse!
Thank you very much Maddiemay for kicking us off. I have now moved into another year of NBUT as this was the first thread I contributed to when I joined MSE.
No buying going on, steady UUing, some spluttering. It's all good.

getting-there-slowly

I'm in again, seems like I have beaten the bug am losing the battle with the using one! Must do better :rotfl:

Morning everyone! Well it's the 1st December and I already have a UU to report:

- Mac Painterly Paint Pot: Love this as a base to my eye shadows to even everything out. However think I really need the soft ochre one as I have more yellow tones to my skin. Will be purchasing a replacement when I'm in Duty free next week.

Thanks maddiemay for starting us off for the final month of the year - can't believe how quickly the other 11 have gone!! I am, of course, in again! Off to catch up then will post back with my hit list and final numbers for last month.

Sundaysgirl

Right, I'm all caught up, you've been a chatty bunch this weekend!

Welcome cw18, bbright and peedie :hello:

Maddiemay –sounds like a good deal on the LE. I have deleted a huge raft of offer emails, however I may well cave with Kiehl’stoday as they are doing the deluxe sample offer with any purchase again…

City_girl –sounds like a wonderfully relaxing weekend! Hope the purse pixies weren’t too naughty when you took them to Bicester…;)

We visited the in-laws this weekend so for once I had a chance to relax too – usually spend them rushing around doing chores/catching up etc (and recently sorting out builders!) but this weekend I even found time to paint my toes AND fingernails!! I’m sporting a classic red, my fave, and going to make a concerted effort to paint more regularly

Willowbee (and others – sorry I don’t recall now, so many kind messages) – thank you and sosorry for your loss too. DH is itchingto get another piggy but we shall see. Definitely not before Christmas.

So I have several small UUs from the weekend which I'll report here rather than November's thread:

18/282. S&G Hand Food 50ml - WNBA, this came in a set and I'm pretty proud of myself for persevering. Unfortunately I have a full size still to use!

19/283. LE C&P 50ml - freebie and WMB, love the smell and leaves my face feeling very clean and soft. Replaced with same (my final one) but have a few other HCCs still to use too.

20/284. Elemis Skin Nourishing Shower Cream 50ml - freebie, WNB as it's nice enough but nothing special for the price.

21/285. WhiteGlo Extra Strength Whitening Toothpaste 24g - freebie and WNB as didn't seem to do much.

22/286. Kiehl's Ultra Facial cleanser 3ml - WBA, does the job, full size current;y in use too.

23/287. Clinique Smart Custom Repair Serum 1.5ml - WNB, hard to tell from such a small sample but didn't seem to do much.

24/288. Kiehl's Powerful Strength Line Reducing Concentrate 1.5ml - WMB, like the consistency and matte finish it leaves.

25/289. L'Occitane Ultra Rich Face Cream 1ml - WNB, nice enough but L'Occ is overpriced IMO.

26/290. Vichy Idealia Eye Serum 1.5ml - WNB, didn't wow me.

27/291. Cussons Mum & Me Baby Sleep Tight Baby Bath - fine but WNBA.

So November totals:

INs 7
UUs 27
Total (20)
Remaining 181 - 31 left to use in December!

And kicking off December with another:
1/292. Sanctuary Body Scrub 200ml - probably my HG but not sure if I will replace or just use scrubby gloves instead. I have two small Philosophy scrubs to get through first.

Sorry for the long post!

SuiDreams

I would like to just read along for this month and Join properly in January when I plan to go cold Turkey on the buying front.

Thanks MaddieMay for starting us off. I am in again. You can edit the thread title but I can't remember how.

I have a uu

Lancome Advanced Genefique 7ml, have 2 more of these minis in the stash to use before I think about buying it.

The following is my list of stuff that is already open and started. I will always have more than 1 of some items (such as toothpaste which I have in the cloakroom, the en-suite and my travel bag), but there's no excuse for quite as many of a lot of these to be open (3 shower gels is acceptable - one in travel kit and one everyday plus one special in the en-suite - but 11 is ridiculous :eek:) I have a feeling I may well turn up more to add to this list as I work on decluttering the house, but only time will tell......

Items in red are those I'm currently using on a regular basis to try and use up.
