    PMSL!!!!!!!!!!! :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    I'll have one, oh no I'm on a diet!! :eek:

    I actually read this bit "I am now the 'proud' (and slightly, but not too much, sheepish) owner of £86.49 worth of wrapping paper" and thought you'd spent the lot on wrapping paper LOL!!!!!!!!! :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
    They're not very big :A

    Now now, that would have been silly :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::A

    It's totally obscene when you see what £85 gets you in boots :eek:

    Don't do it! You don't need it!

    But do tell me which Lush it was, in case it's near me :D

    I will stop you shopping at Lush if you can stop me shopping at all the cheap online sites(the cause of my stockpile of french perfume,just had to buy as 50% cheaper than in the shop and yes it is a massive tester pack not supposed to be sold but I still love it and now wear it everyday just to use it up!!!!) am I beyond help??????

    p.s I ignore all the hints about saving soap as I love to open a new pack and(shameful tho it is)I throw the old bits away!!!!there I have come out and said it:eek::eek::eek:

    I am afraid to go into Boots,you use 1 voucher to buy stuff then go back to the till with the 2nd wave of goodies bought with the 1st voucher and they give you another voucher,it is like a maze,no way out until closing time!
  • I went to Boots to pick up the S&G hatbox OH bought me as a pressie, and collect a gift for my mum bought online in 75% off sale...

    AND...I didn't buy a thing...not one thing...I'm so proud :)

    But I did go to wilkos and buy some nail varnish remover to replace the bottle that has a tiny dreg in it (will be going in bin when I have painted nails tonight), so it was something I needed rather than an impulse buy or points glitch or too good to miss or had a voucher for etc

    Woohoo maybe this challenge is possible after all.

    OK. Do I want £20.70 in my savings pot OR £20.70 of Lush stuff that I will admire but also have to add to my huge stash????

    Step away from Lush...you've got a nice big stash at home of various goodies, treat yourself to a pamper night tonight using some of the stuff in your stash, use your fave stuff and enjoy knowing that you didn't blow £20 ;)

    I've been Money Tipped!
    Good girl Tara, I was just about to SHOUT at you. I'm back from my facial and it was better than sleep, AND I resisted all attempts to sell me product. In fact, I was told how great my skin is looking, and told them it was Oil cleanse method, so instead of buying a hugely expensive cleanser the beautician (a luxury brand of skin/hair care) is off to buy castor oil!
