No buying toiletries in February challenge!

Kaz2904

I started a new body spray tonight in anticipation of my dove running out.
Anyone remember me saying about that wink shower gel that I finally used up? Well this is the body spray to go with it. It's minging! I can't wait until it's all gone. Definately a work or mucking around in the woods type spray.
The joy of it is that I still have a 100ml EDT and a pot of body lotion to use too.
I think I shall start the EDT in DH's shoes. Serve him right for having smelly trainers!

Teabythesea, any chance of getting a job in a nursing home as care assistant or kitchen staff? Or in a hospital as houskeeping/ caring. Or are there any hotels/ B&B's near you?

It was awful when I was at uni, we were in full time or on placement full time. We got 5 weeks holiday and £420 per month. Because we weren't counted as students we were inelligable for loans and many student accounts. We did get a council tax reduction (phew!) We had an 80 mile round trip to uni (thank the lord for car shares!) and we would often be scheduled 1 hour long lecture at 9 then nothing until 3 and 3 hours worth then. We stopped going to them when they were like that.
We all worked our way through which meant a 7 day week when we were on placement. Never mind, it was worth it in the end!

Thanks vicster, I started on the bath foam yesterday after I'd finished one of my Dove bath foams and it smells so lovely - can't wait to get to one of the many Gok body butters I have I did have a great day, OH took me to lunch at a very nice restaurant, and with the snow falling outside the window it was quite romantic Went round the local shopping centre after that and looked but didn't buy (:A), and spent the evening just relaxing with him and DS - lovely!

Have you got a college near you that might be able to do it cheaper?

I've done this many times before, it's so convenient and quite inexpensive

QONMW my soap & glory wipes only cost £1.08 as I had the Dove vouchers and bought 4 cans for DD, I do like them and prefer them to the N0.7 wipes; but I wouldn't pay full price for them.

Nothing used up and nothing bought! This challenge makes you stop and think about every purchase which can only be a good thing!

I'm still plodding along but nothing seems close to being finished, had to go to Morrisons last night and found myself wandering along their health and beauty aisles, had to give myself a severe talking to! Luckily had my 6 year old with me and he dragged me off to the magazines.

I also noticed yesterday while in Boots that they had the following items for half price

Soap & Glory long handled bath brush
nail brush
Soap & Glory travel set bottles & jar's in a plastic bag
Sanctuary lip glosses

I am not encouraging spending but these would make lovely gifts for hampers/stocking fillers.

Only for people you know don't hoard themselves!

I love the idea of pretty traveling bottles, but I have a plain set (from boots, might be cheaper full price than S&G half price....). Same with bath brush and nail brush ...

Did they all sell? I had 2 things ending today - one didn't sell, boo. Never mind - I've relisted it and my next 4 items ending tomorrow all have bids (yay) xo

10 sold, 2 weren't toiletries though. I just keep relisting them until they sell as they're starting under £1 it doesn't cost me anything.

Would a decent tinted moisturiser cover redness on my face? As that's the only reason I wear powder foundation... I hardly wear any, just a tiny dusting to take the redness away from around my mouth/cheeks/nose.

There's a specific product for this. I can't think of the name, but it's a green colour and is fab for covering it up, I used cliniques for ages. It's not too pricey either. Just look up products for rosatia I think it's called (too much red on face)
Basically it doesn't go on green, but it neutralises the colour more?
