Four - Bobbi Brown eyeshadow, Jo Malone perfume, clothes from Hush & Boden.

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 11/05/2019 22:39

Fleece- yes two for work and one for real life
Shoes you wear to do the garden in- yes
Wellies- yes ankle boot not full length though
Jeans you should have thrown away- yes jeggings, I'm actually wearing them now Blush
Greying bra- no my bras are pristine
Pair of trousers you still think you will eventually lose enough weight to fit into- yes
Unworn item of clothing still with tags on that you wish suited you but it's now too late to send back and you will never wear- sort of I know they will suit me but I haven't had the occasion to wear them

PlatypusPie · 11/05/2019 22:45

4 beauty
5 clothes

Also, all on the alternative list except the greying bras and the tagged item because I have just had a big clearout and feel virtuous

LolaSmiles · 11/05/2019 22:46

Only 1 point here for a Bretton top.

Could we have an alternative bingo of:

Fleece Thousands
Shoes you wear to do the garden in Do old trainers count?
Wellies yes
Jeans you should have thrown away yes. Every few months I try to be a jeans person and it hasn't happened.
Greying bra several.
Pair of trousers you still think you will eventually lose enough weight to fit into no
Unworn item of clothing still with tags on that you wish suited you but it's now too late to send back and you will never wear yes. I had a few of those from last time I was on MN & a few beauty products too. I ventured (lurked) in style and beauty and decided that a couple of items were going to be the making of me as a stylish woman. Reader, it didn't work. Grin

Blueberryblueberry · 11/05/2019 22:52

Boden clothing

early 00s: 6 points
A skincare item containing one of the following: retinol, vitamin C, lactic acid, salicylic acid or glycolic acid
Bobbi Brown item
Loafers - never wore, didn't go with anything else I had
One of the following trainers or shoes: Converse
Trench coat - liked the look, but never wore it- if it's warm enough for a coat that thin, a jacket is less faff
Also had some sort of Babyliss hardryer before it broke, but can't remember the model.

Saisong · 11/05/2019 23:14

I have a blue and white stripe cotton jumper which I've had for about 15 years. Does that count? Otherwise 0.
