  • Hi all - long time lurker, first time poster here!

    I went a bit wild in the sales today which hasn't helped my already large stash so I think I need to join if you all don't mind!

    I hope everyone is enjoying the festivities! Back to work for me tomorrow though!
  • I hope to join you ladies next month as I'm going on a no-buy in 2015 :)

    Another 3 IN's for me:

    Loreal Ever Riche Nourishing and Flowing Shampoo x 2
    Loreal Ever Riche Nourishing and Flowing Conditioner

    I think this might be my Holy Grail shampoo and conditioner. They were on 3 for 2 instead of £5.99 each, so picked up 2 shampoos and a conditioner.

    At 49 products.

    Turns out that wasn't on my list anyway. Whoops.
    UU - Y.E.T. - Don't Worry Mask Sheet 'Hammer Time' (Soothing)

    UU - YSL – Forever Eye Cream *
    UU - Rimmel – Wake Me Up 'Ivory'
    That had honestly been gone for a while but I've been unable to admit to myself that no amount of scraping the jar with the ends of makeup brushes or cotton buds (or anything long and thin I can think of) is going to magically provide me with more product. Goodbye, old friend.

  • More INs here and still have finished updating my now rather long stash list!


    Neal's Yard moisturiser
    Boots Botanics day and night creams- I needed these and were 3 for 2.
    A pile of Lush, was only intending getting a few bubble slices but got these and then decided to get a both full of bath bombs too. I'm hoping that really is it not...not sure there's anymore room for in cupboard for what Ive got yet.
    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
  • 9 INs from Christmas gifts:

    Chanel Chance perfume. This is my favourite scent so I'm more than happy with this :D
    Nivea face wipes
    Nivea eye make-up remover
    Nivea face moisturiser
    Planet Spa body scrub
    Planet Spa hand, elbow and foot cream
    Planet Spa body moisturiser
    Style and Grace body wash
    Style and Grace body lotion

    3 INs from Boxing Day purchases:

    Herbal Essences conditioner and Simple toner, which I needed spares of. Also a pack of Simple wipes. I already have plenty but they were very cheap in Superdrug, plus I had a voucher so they were free.

    I want to make a list of my make-up so I can manage that better and re-write my list of toiletries ready for the new year, as my current list is a little all over the place now. I did consider typing my lists instead of handwriting them, but I just love crossing out items when I've used them :rotfl:
    Thank you to everyone who posts on here :)
  • Thank you to many of you for your sympathies. As time goes on I seem to be struggling with this more, rather than less. I keep expecting a phone call telling me it was all a big mistake.

    I've managed to avoid throwing myself completely down the route of bankruptcy, particularly as we have now taken on my mum's huge dog and that has given rise to a lot of expenses and issues, and that's before I pay for the funeral.

    I have spent two days in the sales though, and have been treated so well by my friends, OH and his family for christmas, so have a few INs:

    Christmas presents:

    Chanel chance EDP 35ml
    Jean Paul Gaultier Classique 50ml
    Neom Tranquility body oil 100ml

    Sales shopping

    Sanctuary Spa warm amber and lavender body wash 75ml
    Sanctuary Spa white lily and damask rose body wash 75ml
    Sanctuary Spa green lemon and orange blossom body wash 75ml
    Sanctuary Spa cleansing burst body wash 75ml
    Sanctuary Spa white lily and damask rose body lotion 75ml
    Sanctuary Spa warm amber and lavender body lotion 75ml
    Sanctuary Spa green lemon and orange blossom body lotion 75ml
    Sanctuary Spa silky smooth body lotion 75ml
    Dove Go fresh noursing body wash restore blue fig and orange blossom 250ml
    Dove go fresh noursihing body wash revive pomegranate and lemon verbena 250ml

    I also have Liz Earle INS on their ways and will declare them when they arrive.

    I hope everyone has had a lovely relaxing time x
