  • Thanks Lottie, I'm really trying hard to resist... I might stick it in a drawer somewhere so I don't take it with me.

    It was bogof so you had to!! I managed to resist some shampoo that was on offer but I will need to buy some soon so I hope it's still on offer then.

    I've spent the day round my friends, it's just when I remember whats going on I get upset/annoyed at myself again. I love snuggling in bed!! Just watching that sleepwalking thing though on 4+1. Might spend the morning snuggling with a book :-)

    How can I cheer myself up and try to stop stressing for free? :o

    Do you have any baking ingredients? You could try baking something eg twinks hobnobs (scrummy), flapjacks or buns. There are plenty of recipes on the OS board. You could then eat them with a cuppa!

  • Hi all, It seems I am mega late with this challenge but was wondering if I could join in?

    I want to do exercise at least 3 times a week, and I have just signed up to do Mystery Shopping so I want to do at least 3 of these a week too :D

    Oh and I'm really tempted to treat myself to cheer myself up... did something a bit naughty at work so am facing a discplinary :confused: How can I cheer myself up and try to stop stressing for free? :o

    Hope you're feeling better and everything is ok at work :) My top things for cheering myself up without spending are a walk - on the beach if possible and watching Breakfast at Tiffanys - never fails! The other thing that never fails for me is blowing up baloons, very silly but I find it impossible to be grumpy while blowing up a balloon - friends and family might thing you've gone a bit nuts though :)

    I've had a lod of things on at work and trips to and from the airport so have needed the car this week. I guess the journey's were necessary but would have like to have had a few no car days :( All the same, not taking the car to the shops has been a great way of cutting the grocery spend.

    Everyone seems to be doing really well

  • Ooh I might be able to make banana cake? I'll have a look!
    I'm going to see my friend for the weekend later so hopefully that will take my mind of it... I have a displinary meeting next week, will know the outcome after that.
    LOL at blowing balloons!! I might try that x
    PS Well done everyone for doing so well x

    Hi all
    I managed to use up a Living nature vitalising cleanser and a L'Occitane cream mask. I liked both these products, tho the mask I used more as a night cream and it was a present and I probably couldn't justify the expense to buy it myself. It costs about $80 here in Australia:eek: and thats just way too much.

    Stay strong Lala ... and check out the freebies boards, maybe you can get it for free somewhere! There was a sky download recently, so fingers crossed it will still be available for you! :)

    Puss, where is Oz are you? I'm a Melburnian myself, but have done the whole move to London thing, hence being an MSE convert now ;)

    Hi there,

    Used up a L'Occitane Rose Bath Powder thing yesterday and a Decleor Rose Aromessence 5ml and a Palmer's body Lotion too.

    Brought some more of the stash down into the bathroom to free up some space in the stash drawer and fill a little basket gap inthe bathroom.

    No slip up this week and not tempted by the OPI and Laura Geller TSV's which prior to this challenge I would have ordered regardless.
