I dragged my bag of makeup empties into town for recycling only to be told it had fallen apart, whatever that means, I suggested they might update the scheme so people know.  I knew I wouldn't be able to get rid of it, on paper these things work but they never seem to work in practice, not where I go anyway.

That's frustrating!

I have some eyeliners that Emma has decluttered but there’s no point in taking them when the box is already overflowing. The system is probably not working due to the Covid restrictions debacle. Probably the recycle reps are employed one minute, furloughed the next.

One IN from yesterday:

A Florence Hydrating Gel to Milk Cleanser 200ml 

Took advantage of their biannual sale to get the new, reformulated version of the gel cleanser. Hope it's good

Winter List:
Midnight recovery concentrate

That should keep me going 

I'm done for 2020, no other UU likely today. 

December totals: 12 UU, 20 IN
Christmas presents and offers tipped the balance here. 

2020 totals: 63 UU, 57 IN
Stash level hasn't changed much over the year but I got to July before having any INs so that's a win, and my stash is more of things I'll use and less random stuff so I guess that's a win of sorts

Happy New Year everyone. I don’t think I can be bothered totting up totals this month I suppose I don’t want to face the stash. Ha ha. Plus I’m still in bed nursing a hangover.

I have UU the Peachy bath bomb which was nice, would not have ever picked this for myself but that's the beauty of gifts, it was nice!
