I'm falling behind again can't keep up and just popping in now, but today I went into one of my danger places for unneceesary spends, a relly good health ood shops...all the temting potions and lotionas and oils and creams that promise to make one feel and look healthy....and I ...left them there....

TBH I found that quite hard.

Well done, lostinrates! Feel proud of that! :T

Good Morning everyone :T I've finally sat down with the laptop and it's that late it's early!!

I have been good and not bought anything, also not finished anything. I did get a FREE Simple lip balm though

(which is ok but no better than good old vaseline) I've only just got out of the bath and just used my epilator for the first time. It was easier in water than just on dry legs like I tried this aft. It was worse than I expected but I'm sure I can get used to it soon enough. My legs are a bit pimply/splodgy too and hopefully it'll settle down tonight and won't be too bad tomorrow. I felt a bit brave and tried my bikini line :eek: OMG it was horrible and I really doubt it's a pain I can ever bare again... so I'll never get used to that :rotfl:

Just when I think money is finally being saved my iron packs in lol. Perfect timing or what!!!

It's finally the weekend and I'm pretty pleased even though it'll be a busy one. Hope you all have a nice weekend and enjoy yourselves :T

Evening ladies, nothing much to report here I'm afraid. The dregs of the Trevor Sorbie conditioner are still lingering and there are probably another one or two applications left of the Sainsbury's night cream.

Sorry to hear about your bad experience at the funeral Kaz2904.

Oh how I identify with this........ Did you rescue it? You could always decant a small amount of hand cream or moisturiser into it to carry around in your handbag.

I sorted through a very small quantity of my stash on Tuesday night. I am so embarrassed and ashamed of myself....... :embarasse

Hi Babafette,

you should not be at all ashamed or embarrassed. You got your stash through grabbits and glitches. So at least you haven't wasted loadsamoney on things. You will use your stuff up. Just keep pampering yourself and try and be kinder to yourself too:A

I'm having great fun with make up ATM, wearing things I haven't worn for a while. also, a friend dropped in her spare glamour mag (she bought for the hair stuff) and I loved having a shiny new magazine, and copied one of the make up looks out of it today, which was quite fun.

Nothing new finished up, shower gels are getting a bit depressing, seem to last for ever...........

ooh sounds fun with the make up, i did my smokey eye thing during the day yesterday (usually only do eye shadow at night) and i got some nice looks walking to pick up ds1 yesterday:D
Regarding the shower gels, my problem is my never ending supply of shampoo and conditioner, they are all nice brands but its quite stressful that i probably will not have finished them until next year.:o

Morning all! I'm sitting here trying to wake up before I tackle the ironing mountain.
Can't wait to hear what lin.c bought.
Ooh, shame about the bikini line NaB.

I need to tackle some ironing as well but it can wait until tomorrow.

Not used anything today but so far in March not bought any toiletries either.

Had a frustrating week - still waiting to hear about the promotion at work. Should have been told beginning of the week just gone but they did another interview on Monday (person had been off sick at time interview should have been and then boss out for a week) so that has put things back. Hopefully it will be Monday we find out. Been over two weeks since i had my interview.

Bought a Glamour magazine with a 'free' hair product so chose the rescue conditioner as that was what I needed.

Rather than buy another pack of my current hair colourant, I bought the colour remover so that I can use up the 3 packs of the lighter shade that are just sitting there clogging up the cupboard .... well, it made sense to me!

Plodding on using up the seemingly everlasting bottles in the bathroom cupboard!

Total spend this month £4.43. (February NIL)

[STRIKE]
mornin
[/STRIKE] later than i thought afternoon all

in to report a couple of spends but was good and only bought what i ?NEEDED a bottle of nail polish remover and a bottle of face wash. i had neither and only normally use make up remover lotion on my face but i used sons medicatic wash on friday before putting a mask on and skin felt so good after i thought id better buy myself some instead of getting in trouble for nicking his;) (both were under a £1 each so not broke the bank either)

not used anything up today but foot and eblbow cream is very low so will have to get another foot cream out of the stash soon.

Finished the last of my many Candyfloss Lipliciouses last night :rotfl: I will never have to look at it again, since Boots axed it a while ago.

I've got 3 Marshmallows, which are almost the same, but look on the bright side, I have learned my lesson. I won't be buying multiples of the same lipgloss in the future. It feels such a relief to be free of it! :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
