    I don't know whether I fell off the wagon today or not!

    I bought a lot of No7 bath stuff before Christmas, and instead of saving it for my Mum's birthday (she has enough toiletries!) I thought I'd see if I could take it back.

    I took it back but I had to choose £34 worth of stuff to exchange it for. So I bought Soap & Glory! :o:D

    Other than that I haven't bought anything! :)

    I was in a rush and didn't know what else to get! I did ring OH and see if he wanted anything but the only thing he wanted they didn't have. I also tried ringing my Mum but she didn't answer! :A :D

    Used up a deoderant last night. I now have 2 good ones (stick-type) and four that i don't like (spray and roll-on). Have decided to use the roll-ons for days when i am not going to work - more time to dry, and the sprays for my feet in the summer.

    I am having to stay away from the shops now (with some vouchers it's a struggle).

    Is anyone else getting withdrawal feelings?

    Not at all, I know I have fallen off the wagon a couple of times this month but that's been massively outweighed by the number of times I've said NO. And I actually feel much better for it. I'm using up my lovely stuff and looking better, my new savings pot is growing each time I resist/use something up. So I am happy as larry! :A

    I finished a jar of cod liver oil capsules this evening, I count it as toiletries as I bought it in Boots (probably as part of a glitch). So that's another £1 into the pot!

    My Body Shop goodies arrived this evening too, WOW what a haul for £17.60!!!!!!!!! The box weighed a ton! I do feel bad for buying it but at those prices I could not resist. So that was my big slip-up, I have been very good overall.

    How could you NOT love George Clooney. Actually if I imagined him sitting swivelling round in the Big Leather Executive Chair playing the role of Mr Boots, I'm afraid even my steely resolve would weaken..........:p
