    2 UUs today so far:rotfl:

    Sanctuary hand wash - part of a gift set I was given for Christmas. I would use again if gifted but it's not something I would buy myself.

    Sanctuary pumice foot scrub - part of gift set (another Christmas present) not sure if you can be separately. Nice to use WDA but have others to use up first.

    There's a deal on in boots spend £10 on sanctuary stuff and get a free gift set worth £12.50 not sure if hand wash is in there. There's a deal for minis 2 for 3 and you can get 7.50 of minis and get the gift set.
    Mortgage free wannabe 

    Actual mortgage stating amount £75,150

    Overpayment paused to pay off cc 

    Starting balance £66,565.45

    Current balance £58,108

    Cc around 8k. 

  • Started writing my list of what I have so I can keep a proper eye on what I have and only did my upstairs bits (make-up, nail varnish, hair bits) and already I have three A4 pages FULL!! Didn't realise I had sooooo much!! Will be doing the downstairs bits as soon as I get a chance I presume that will be another couple of pages!!

    Hi all! I've joined in with this thread before over previous years and would like to join in for this month please! I'm in the middle of moving out and whilst moving bits it's suddenly dawned on me how many toiletries I have! Can't write a list as some things have already been moved over, but I definitely want (need!) to get using things up. Hoping to have a bit of a pamper later today...will post any UUs as I go along :)

    Thanks to all for the lovely messages about our wedding, I didn't get a chance to thank you all back in Jan/Feb.

    You got married?! Congraultations! :D :T

    Right, so here I am again with another UU: Boots Extracts Mango Body Wash. WIBA? It smelled nicer & was less plasticy than the body scrub, but it's no better or worse than anything out there so an indistinct 'maybe' is the answer.

    Happy Easter/Passover to everyone! :easter_ba

    I typed a post and lost it - so annoying.

    Willowbee - hope you love your dress.

    sam.4000 - does parsnip wine taste of parsnips? I love wine but hate parsnips.:rotfl:

    No it does not taste of parsnip, its a lovely wine but one that I always struggle to get it to finish.

    I have been very naughty, had a little bit of an ordering party including regis hair things ( really good offer) and lush of course.

    No UU's either, think I may be loosing my touch.

    So starting with a small uu
    1. E45?lotion 6ml - got a few of these and will buy in future

    So my 6ins are from the look fantastic box. I took out the yearly subscription so each box costs £10.50
    The items I got were
    In ikea black caviar eye liner
    Balance me hand and body wash
    Korres soap
    Mini bed head
    Diet multi vitamins
    Cb12 mouth wash
    First impressions - well this is my 4th box and I think this is my 2nd eyeliner . Whilst I use eyeliner everyday I think it's a bit soon for another. The most exciting product for me is the mini bed head manipulator - I have what I would describe as wee curly bits of hair which I would like to try flattening down for a more sleek hair look.
    The mouthwash is a good size for holidays and the rest of the products are good but not overly exciting . I think the multi vitamins might disappoint a few people.
    I think it was worth £10.50 as there's is nothing I won't use eventually
    £365 a year spend challenge - this has included food/clothes/beauty?? who knows where I am

    I used to use Bed Head Manipulator when I had a very short choppy cut. Only use a bit and pull your palms away from each other so the fibres stretch.

    My Nails Inc box arrived so my ins are:

    Nails Inc Gel Effect St James (Pillarbox Red)
    Nails Inc Gel Effect Hyde Park Place (Lavender Grey)
    Nails Inc Gel Effect Uptown (Nude Pink)
    Electric Lane Holographic Top Coat
    Caviar Base Coat
    Nail File


    This was £20 inc P&P and I am very pleased with it.

    I also have an out:

    Body Shop Moisture Socks - these have been worn to death and are paper thin and full of holes.
