I need to try and forget that...this is going to be sooo hard

Queen,

I feel your pain in both your posts. I wish you the best of luck.
You should post on here when ever you are weakening. The lovely ladies here have really helped me.

Although I did once join an ediet site. I never stuck to the diet so did not lose any weight. I just lied about my weight when I posted.That way in the virtual world I had lost 2 stone.:o

But don't worry I am going to be truthful this time. I hope not to fall off the wagon but if I do I will let you all know.( I could still do with losing that 2 stone)

lol - completely off topic - but I havent noticed that emoticon that totally sums up my life.... WHERE did you find that running around one bbf - its PERFECT !!

Thanks Trudi. I like emoticons so I spent ages gathering various ones from the internet. I can't remember where I got that particular one, but I love it. It's how I feel most days!!!

I'm really pleased that everyone is doing so well. It seems such a small thing, but it's really helping me.

Yes, I know what you are both saying and thanks again. I won't go there at all. I'll save my ten pounds to pay off against one of my cards. This way I will be debt free by 3011(no typo):o

It is depressing that's why I prefer going to Canary Wharf. Better not go there either as it's got 3 Boots.:eek::eek:

I'd like to join please...I promised myelf I'd start after the boots 75% off sale, and I got a weeks grace as it was postponed. But I have more than enough stuff to keep me going. I've sorted the bathroom out and put everyhing in a big cardboard box in the cellar - even half opened stuff, I think I'm going to seperate it into two boxs, things that have been opened and things that haven't and use up the opened stuff first.

I've got enough body butters to cream the whole of a football team for a season!! I do use it eery day though, sometimes twice a day but still the amount I've got is excessive.

I've got a huge box of make up despite having regular clear outs.

The only thing I will need to buy in the near future is nail varnish remover because there is only a tiny dreg left in the bottom and oddly I haven't had a compulsion to bulk buy that :rolleyes:

I've got another hatbox to collect (which was a gift from OH) and a sancturary gift set to collect which is a pressie for mum next xmas.

I need to stay OUT of boots, which I'll find very hard if they have a voucher for S&G or any super points gliches. But I also need to stay out of wilkos, superdrug, asda, tesco, £1/99p shop, body shop anywhere that sells toiletries!

I'm going to set myself a 90/3 month challange to start with, only buying things that I have run out of and therefore need rather than things I want or are on offer. I'll review where I am at in 3 months time.

Gonna be tough but I've got to do it and if you ladies can, I can too

Welcome!!!! You found us then It is hard but the daily pampering sessions are soooo good and make you really appreciate the lovely products you have! I (and a few others) am trying to use the bog standard stuff during the week and Sanctuary/S&G/posh stuff at weekends, just for a little treat!That way the bog standard stuff goes down faster and the posh stuff lasts longer There's also Paint Your Nails Monday (or if you have a huge nail varnish stash, you can redo them daily lol!).

I wonder if Boots sales are suffering due to this thread

I have no doubt that they are!! My last mailing went in the bin! We could become a nationwide movement!! :j:j:j:j

Oh thankyou, I won't let you or myself down. See what I was posting at the same time as you?

I spotted that, yep! Well done SA - but for what it's worth I think Lynz is right - you don't actually need anything at the moment do you? In that case, stay away! Having just seen your post about putting the £10 into a PAD on one of the cards - take a bow girl, you're getting it!!

OMG, that's hardcore!! Respect!!

Is it wrong that I am anxious because I haven't used a 50p coupon for Dove intensive moisturiser and my £5 No7/Ruby & Millie voucher? I really can't bring myself to bin them.......

No, the straw isn't long enough. Has anyone else had this problem? Maybe I could get a chainsaw and saw the bottle in half - wish it was a tube LOL!

Remember that the serum will fall to the side of the tube when you lie it on its side. Or prop it up in a corner so it falls to the top of the glass bottle.
That's what I do with similar problems

Do it, go on!! Tear them into little pieces!

I would probably use the snowy tbh, but only on something for my mum that involved spending very little (i.e. just over £5) OR something I needed (e.g. wipes if I was heading to a festival soon).

Bin them.

Vouchers like that are ten a penny! You only need a sandwich to get them pretty much- get the next one if you NEED something.

Last year I had the R&M 3 times at least! Def had time delay one twice as I have the same moisturiser from that.

They just rotate them.

A 50p dove voucher can be printed off the internet pretty much any time!

I dont really get tempted by vouchers- often throw them away. They do sell on ebay can you believe. although I did have one where I got 1.00 off something like dove, they were on bogof plus some tesco voucher for £1 off. That worked out about 25p a bottle so a good voucher IMO.
