    Ahem missy...5 things a month and doing them all on the first is a lot of bottom sitting time.

    Close to tears a couple of times but it was long-winded in places, IMO :confused:

    Will miss David but roll on Matt :D

  • Toiletries :o

    Hmmm....I think it's a good thing that the Boots thread on Grabbit went away. I have an embarrassing amount of toiletries. This doesn't include the stuff I got in the S&G hatbox that I know I won't use and have hidden away to use in Christmas hampers.

    • Nivea Happy Time body lotion (Half price in clearance section in Boots)
    • S&G Heel Genius
    • S&G iFoam shower gel x 3 (In my defence it smells amazing and will last me ages. Honest.)
    • S&G mini shower gel
    • S&G Body Butter x 2
    • S&G Moisturising Mist
    • Hair mask (Huge tub of)
    • No 7 shower gel x 2 (Bought using £5 off voucher from Boots till spit)
    • Olay cleanser x 4 :o Another £5 off set of purchases. Think a couple of these might end up on Ebay to be honest
    • Dentyl mouthwash
    • Cleansing wipes
    • Toothpaste x 2
    • Shampoo x 2
    • Conditioner x 2
    • Deodorant x 3
    • Miscellaneous shower gels x 7 :o:o:o:o:o
    • Mr Fresian's shower gels x 4
    I'm off to sign up for the challenge to avoid buying toiletries for as long as possible, I clearly need [strike]very little[/strike] nothing at all until the end of the month and that should only be mouthwash. The list above doesn't even include everything sitting in the shower....shampoo&conditioner, hair mask, iFoam shower gel, S&G facewash, other shower gel.

    Jeez....

    Your toiletries list is making me uneasy about everything I have... :o

    Thankfully I can't open the drawer properly as a light timer is in the way - shame! :rolleyes: :rotfl:

  • A lovely new diary to lurk on.

    Had a wee thought to save you a bit more dosh. My boiler cover is £98 for the year ( was less last year ) But i had a look on the comparison website and of course there is cashback -not always but worth a look. They are currently trying to tempt me with plumbing and electrical cover for another £2 oh and that includes their service as well.
