    Today I visited the Pound Shop and bought cotton wool pads and two tubs of Brylcreem for my OH. Such good value, as it's £3.99 in Boots! I needed cotton wool but the Brylcreem was a stock up purchase... I always buy it when I'm in the Pound Shop because he goes through it like crazy! He'll be finished with his current tub in days!

    The toner I bought (Boots' original formula) isn't going down well with my skin at all. I'll give it a week or so more and hope I get used to it!

    I'm currently using so much body butter I nearly skidded out of bed last night:rotfl:
    I have consigned an Avon eye cream to the bin.. i now remeber it makes my eyes water.
    I have sort of used up a Trevor Srbie hair spray..I filled up my mini sized one with what was left.
    Decluttering and tidying in general continues and I have found another 2 nail polishes and Ds posted one back to me that i left behind at Christmas!! :confused:
    Still sat here with bare nails!
    That Boots posting has arrived here.....
    I need p&p .. might have to go:eek: will be able to buy with points though... is that allowed?

    Just put a bottle of perfume on ebay and have a bath ballistic about to be used once the bath is full... or maybe in a couple of hours since currently have no hot water, booo
  • Don't think I'm doing as well as the rest of you...So far I have only used up 1 deodarent... Although I'm debating to stop using the nivea night cream and go onto the no7 p&p as the nivea seems to make my face feel really greasy...
    Is this cheating?
    Well done to the rest of you, reading your posts you all seem to be doing well...

  • sales addicts youve made a start and you're acknowledging things (is anyone else wondering about the lip balms from m&s for a quid?)


    Sorry, I have to tell you this, the lip balms are down to 50 p today.
    The hair and body oil is down to a £1.
    I didn't buy as many as I usually would, and I owe that to this thread:o

    How about using the Nivea on your throat & decollette, rather than wasting it (Tip from Bronnie which I have followed).

    Not bought anything again today (mind you stuck in with flu) I am going to have to buy conditioner soon so I thought but went to my mothers and told her about this so we went threw her toileteries and guess what i found? My mum dyes her hair 2-3 weeks (no natural colour left IYKWIM?) and she never uses those tubes of conditioners that come with the colours I found 24!!!!!!!!!!! of them that should take me through til the summer. I will need to buy hair curl cream soon but am hoping to wait til the end of the month so am having a few product free days

    BTW anyone with curly hair check out boots own basics range curling cream only £1.39 and from someone who has spent thousands on products found herself with£3 and a declined visa crad last year was desperate so thought I'd give it a go - BRILLIANT!!!!!!!!
