  • I am jealous of everyone's lush talk! I want some more goodies. I agree that the bath bombs re-shaped like eggs are a cop out!

    I'm having various work dramas, as well as yet another leak in my rental flat (part of the ceiling is coming down!) so I'm feeling a bit sorry for myself and like I need a treat.

    I've been bad, I felt like crap after a bad day on Friday, so I have some INs to report:

    I'm feeling pretty crap myself, mostly due to work, also some other stuff. I ended up in Boots today, I was buying things and then I heard the announcement that the shop was going to close within 10 minutes. I still wanted to look around and didn't want to make two separate purchases so I left everything and decided to go back on Saturday.

    Bought myself some cotton balls from Poundland though. :p

    I have found (from past experience) the problem with treating oneself when tired/down etc is that the stash increases, as does the guilt, the bank balance decreases/credit card balance increases and the problem is still there:(

    I sometimes buy myself some flowers instead now as I get pleasure from those for a week or so. However, I am a long way off being cured:rotfl:

    Hopefully things will get better for all of us. I have a late start at work tomorrow, so I'm going to have a look around the Boots on the same retail park where I work. It's a bigger Boots than I normal use, so it may be dangerous, especially since I get paid tomorrow :)

  • Neutrogenia hydra quench micelluar water in as I left it at home and need one to get me through. I seem to be finishing nothing recently just having plodding through the reserves. I seem to be getting no where fast but I have to keep on keeping on.

    I gave away one palette but got a shampoo in.

    I find that I can fall of the wagon big time when I am stressed or want to get a specific item. I have to be happy to buy right and from now on buy once one perfect product. it can be difficult as we get tempted but hopefully less often.
  • Two UU Dove Purely Pampering Nourishing Lotion and Sure Motionsense Invisible Pure. So glad its nearly the weekend:j
    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

    I have a good streak of UUs today, here's one more for the night:

    Avon Planet Spa Lavender and Jasmine Hand Cream WNB. Nice scent but it's making my skin irritated lately. I used it by using it to moisturising my feet every night.
  • I'm not going to treat myself I will be good! I don't have the money this month!

    I have various things near to finish so I could have a PP list.

    It would be:
    Lush Twighlight Shower Gel
    Lush Pines and Needles Shower Jelly
    Elemental Herbology Harmonising Oil Cleanser
    L'Or!al Mascara
    5xsamples

    Hope to do these by end of March but might have to carry some over.
