    I went to the dentist today (that ruined my NDS grrrrrrr) and she actually TOLD me to go into boots to buy a certain product for a mild infection where a wisdom tooth is being annoying. I went into TWO Boots and neither of them had what I needed AND I managed to come out empty handed.

    I nearly got lost in a fug of perfume walking round the premium brands, but I had a word with myself and carried on through to the dental section, saw they didn't have what I needed and strolled on out

    PAID 1 - Boots 0

  • I realised I haven't been and posted on here for about a week!! Shock horror!
    I'm doing well with my challenge, although I slipped with the crisps last weekend as I was on a long train ride to Swansea. Glad you are all still on board with the challenge!

    I'm doing well this week, haven't been tempted into any shops! I've got a lip gloss sitting on my dressing table upside down to get every last bit out, keep thinking i'll only get another one use out of it and theres always a bit more left, I would have probably binned it by now, can't believe how much i'm getting out of this tiny little tube

    11 days in and still haven't brought any cosmetics, skincare and haircare:D I swapped moisturisers with my mum so that makes me feel like good using something different. Good luck all:j

    morning everyone - 36 days done and still not one empty bottle, jar, tube, container - however, the showergel is looking rather empty, could be something to do with the fact that it fell over the other morning and leaked all over the shower floor! i still have not fallen off the wagon, however my e.l.f. lip plumping lippy is nearly finished and i am very very very tempted to purchase a new one ... or two ... or three - just to justify the postage, of course - not to accumulate any more stock!
