Me too - 3rd No7 mailing since I started the no more toiletries challenge (usually lucky if I get 1 mailing a quarter), probably well over 1,000 points over the 3 mailings but how much to buy them all :eek:0 -

Decided not to check out the new baby toiletries range.:j:j Last time I went they weren't there.I went away and now I'm back.:j:j0

I dyed my hair last night. It's very brown...much more brown than i had expected... but it was much needed and much cheaper than going to the hair dressers!
Used some bath salts in my bath last night, i expect that tub shall be finished by the end of next week, then it's onto some more bubble baths!Annual Grocery Budget £364.00/£1500

I have just thrown out an old bottle of red nail varnish: I put it on last night and it was really thick and took AGES to put on, looking bad at the end. It also stained my cuticles something rotten. Pity, cos it was a lovely shade.
One down, about a half a dozen to go!Please call me 'Pickle'

They were selling similiar ones on the Thomas Cook flight but I cant remember how much they were. Probably more or I might have bought it. I do get a bit cross at not being able to take my perfume on the plane :mad:
OH bought and fitted a new plug for the bath, so I was able to have one last night and use a lush bath bomb. I finished an Aveda sample sized Shampure yesterday. My stash is definately diminishingI might have another bath tonight and do my nails and toe nails.
I also checked my make up stash and I dont think I have another mascara, so I need to think about getting another one. What is everyone using at the moment?
Oh and I wont fight any of you for George Clooney, Brad Pitt or Johnny Depp. Cant really think of anyone that I fancy...other than OH0 -
This week I have finished some Boots P&P serum. WIBA maybe. I don't notice miraculous results but will see how I get on with the replacement.
I have also decluttered the top of my chest of drawers and I have nine conditioners or frizz smoothing lotions. (Eight of them are open). I have left the two I am currently using in the bathroom and put the rest with the rest of my toiletries.
I have also gone through my toiletry bag where I keep all the sample sized products and thrown out everything that smelt off, or creams that had separated.
I have bought some Lacura serum from Aldi to replace the P&P, whilst I was there I also bought some eye cream as I am using up the dregs of a tube from M&S. Total cost was about £5. I also succumbed to some of the Benefit skin wash from B&M.
Does anyone know if Tesco are discontinuing their Finest range of toiletries. I love their Lime, Mandarin and Vevitar(sp) eau de toilette as an everyday perfume but when I was there during the week I didn't see it.0 -
I met a neighbour while I was out this afternoon, we stopped for a natter and she complimented me on how nice my nails looked and how my hands and nails look really nicely cared for! :T I was really surprised as being a former nail biter I don't expect compliments on my nails!
I went into Boots, had a wander round, decided to get the shimmering lip and eye thing with the second £5 snowie voucher - the first was already going towards the P&P - started walking across to the No 7 counter, decided on the way that it was spending 75p on something I didn't need, and put it back. :T Bought my P&P and took advantage of the glitch on the Boots Smile toothpaste through the acm, then left!🎉 MORTGAGE FREE (First time!) 30/09/2016 🎉 And now we go again…New mortgage taken 01/09/23 🏡

Theres no dollar sign on piece of mind

So if you agree have a drink with me, raise your glasses for a toast :beer:0
