Great, thank you, I'll send it over in a minute.
Got it, thanks sweetie!
Thanks. In the end I didn't get around to sorting them out at the weekend. Never have time for anything nowadays.
Some are still available but not all
She's shipping to me via Evri for tomorrow's stuff and has put in claims for the first two. I just want my polishesSome are still available but not all
I've just emailed again, my next preorders are meant to start shipping tomorrow and I don't want even more losses. We'll see what she says, but I suspect a RM claim is coming.
So two of my packages appeared out of the blue today, strangely just after the claim went in...She's shipping to me via Evri for tomorrow's stuff and has put in claims for the first two. I just want my polishes
Hurray! My HHC order arrived today and I just bought a few polishes from the FF Black Friday sale (EdM, KBShimmer, Girly Bits and Femme Fatale). I'm now running a new group buy with 2 other people.
That's great! Well done for stepping up too. x
I had to. She was getting worse with her lack of communication and taking weeks to post stuff. I actually ordered more than her most times and had offered to take over, but she wouldn't let go. It was fine while she worked nearby and I could pick up my stuff from her, but since then she's been rubbish.
I like it!
I tried to get a few but they were all sold out pretty much instantly so got nothing.
Did you buy much? I didn't buy anything in the end. I only really wanted 3 from PfD, so decided not to bother as there wasn't much else I wanted elsewhere either to justify starting a new Stackry box. First BF in ages when I didn't buy polish. So I'm now likely going to pass on PPU too since I don't have an open Stackry box and at £16 a polish it's not worth going through Nailland either.
I am embarrassed by how carried away I got - many orders, some huge. I don't even know if I like all I got, something in my brain went nuts. Oh well. I was actually less than impressed when I look back at the deals. PfD - wish I had just got the polishes I wanted at Nailland when they came out, the discounts were less than impressive, few things I actually wanted and the BF polishes were not that impressive. I went very OTT on Polish Me Silly, which was a good deal but the shipping was insanely expensive and I'm not convinced they're going to be as good as they look on her swatches... Victorian Varnish - I quite like what I ordered but I bought a few maybe I should have skipped trying to get to the gift with purchase - and I've since seen it and I don't like it! It's just a glitter topper. BKL - all the swatchers were saying that the newsletter discount code stacked with the BF discount - it didn't but I bought anyway. Bought a bundle of Pahlishes, nice but at £12 each not that cheap and I'm not sure I'll like the freebies... My Cuticula order was one that felt like a really good price, and nice things (fingers crossed) - also got a few scented topcoats so they'll at least be useful! Also went nuts and bought Sparkle & Shine (mysteries) and a couple of Potions with the mystery Xmas set and a bundle more DRK pigments. Oh yes, and GLL (probably at least one I'm not bothered about but again got carried away). I was horrified with myself by the end of it and decided I needed to cut down. Oh, forgot I added a few to my Nailland order and ordered it to ship. I was horrified at how much I'd spent, promised to be much more mindful for a while and try to top up my savings again, because this put a big dent in them. Then on Saturday I got an email informing me that the contract for my second job had been terminated
So it's going to be very hard to replace what I spent as I'd planned to.
Sorry to hear you're losing your second income, hopefully something else will come up soon. Also hope you'll like the polishes you bought after all.I am embarrassed by how carried away I got - many orders, some huge. I don't even know if I like all I got, something in my brain went nuts.

So with all of that, I have no open order at Nailland to add PPU to and although there are a few polishes I really like (but no must-haves) I will have to skip this time. I don't want to open another Nailland box and I still have to pay Stackry shipping fee (which will also be huge). I could send to Stackry this time but I have spent so much I hope to stay strong.
I'm so impressed with your ability to stop shopping, I need to feel that soon! Without second income now, I need to be much more selective with what I buy going forward so I stay within budget and will try very hard to do so.
Thank god BF is once a year - and I hope I remember this feeling for next time!
Thanks Anita, I should be OK, just need to be a bit more sensible than in recent months! I'm not really looking for something else, this was just perfect for fitting in with my real job. I'm sure the polishes will be fine, I'm just annoyed because I overspent then the job thing. Anything I don't like will just go on eBay!
Yes, it's a sickness. I don't seem to be able to go through a week without buying something. Or at the very least, checking eBay several times a day. I've added up how much I've spent this year on polish, perfume, few bits of make up, etc. (I probably shouldn't have!) and I've spent 3 months' salary. I can spare that money right now, although I should be saving more, but it's still way too much.
Fingers crossed the other one turns up too!
