    Welcome to the newbies:D We've hit 50 challengers:beer:

    Good news from me - my everlasting toner ran out:eek: I thought I'd never see the day but lo and behold it has happened. My serum and day and night creams are close behind. I think I need to use up smaller (ie sample) sizes of things to keep the motivation going.

    I had a slight blip today in that I bought some Frizz Ease stuff in Boots. They were on 342 and I used my points so technically didn't spend anything but I feel the need to try and control my frizz:eek: I have tried so many of these types of products but today I was suckered in by a hair spray that repels humidity. We'll see about that:rotfl: Of course I had to get my points worth and get 2 other products to go along with it. This is my 1st hair product related blip since the 1st 100 day challenge so I'll not beat myself up too much over it. I have reduced my stash of hair products substantially.

    Gosh that turned into a bit of a ramble:rotfl:

    Saturday was day 34 if you started on Easter Monday - it'll be 5 weeks this Monday I think - Boots will wonder if I've lost my advantage card ;)

    Just used up a 30ml bottle of Molton Brown handwash I was given along with a big bottle of bubble bath as a birthday present last year :rolleyes: - It was very nice so must not be tempted by it and must go back to Carex and my nice Soap and Glory one which was also a present :D

    Haven't been around much - working like crazy but luckily keeping to most challenges - just losing track of days. Still 2 misses for me regarding food / drink at work - but actually have loads of money left this month - managed to pay a chunk off the CC today

    Everyone seems to be doing well - good luck all

  • I had one slip - ordered some Amazon stuff, very bad of me but had a depressing week and had been thinking about buying the gym ball for ages plus the two books.

    I have had to buy toiletries but that is because I have run out - this time body lotion and Veet. got free razors in a consumer survey thing but they weren't that great.

    so not great but not terrible either. xx
    Nevertheless she persisted.

    Another two slips for me I'm afraid - ran out of eye make up remover and couldn't find my normal brand so I bought an alternative. Sadly it was rubbish and just moved the mascara around rather than getting rid of it, so I ended up in boots, buying my usual one. Now I have two make up removers, one of which I know I won't use.:rolleyes:

    On the good news front I have used some stuff up - a full size conditioner, a full size face mask (have been using it as night cream and it's worked a treat!) and a sample body lotion (Penhaligons Lily and Spice, which smelled so divine I had to stop myself rushing out to buy a proper size version. Some hefty hints have been given regarding birthday prezzies from friends though).

    Sarah - I am right with you on the Lola Rose stuff. I fell in love with a piece of blue stone but thankfully it sold out before I could talk myself into it. Result!

    I've had a 'kind of a blip', took bag and skirt back, got £37 back then proceeded to buy (for hols) another bag £8 Primarki, deck shoes £15 RI and a scarf £7, so still ended up with £7 in my hands! I then spent £1 of this on a magazine cos it had horror plastic surgery pics of celebs and I was being nosy! Not sure when I started but it's in my sig! Well done everyone else!

    Oh and have used up a shower gel, a t-zone tea tree spot thingy and an under-eye concealer - yeah! Only 235 items to go!
