No buying toiletries in February challenge!

trudij

Havent been on for AGES - and have skipped quite a few pages (sorry!) - so can I just give a huge ((((HUG)))) to everyone who needs one - specially everyone who is finding life tough at the mo??

Hope everyone got lots of lovely valentines things - My life is summed up pretty well today by my first (and most genuine!!) valentine being from Betfair.... lol

finished a couple of little test tube bath things, and have palmed off my superdrug lip stuff on my mum - I used it 8 times on my way down to Devon, and all it did was make my lips drier and drier !!! off out for my birthday (which is thursday!) on Saturday night - hope I have the right make up for it!! (what are the chances of me dropping at least one dress size in less than a week ??!!!!! oh - and learning to walk in heels??!!!)

Hello everyone, while I was decluttering today, I found an old purse with a No7/Ruby and Millie £5 voucher from 2007 in it!! I thought it was funny, I must have been saving it for something and then bought a new purse...

I used up a couple of little Fresh bathbombs tonight that came in an x-mas present and am on track to use up the dregs of a Dove conditioner tomorrow

Woop woop WOOP!!! OH has just had a bath and, being the loving wife that I am, I made sure he had lots of lovely bubbles....:A Yep, that means that the nasty Naked bath foam is now used up! :j :j I've now pulled a Boots Spa one out of the cupboard to go on to - it must be several years since they even made that range but that's not the only thing I've got from it to use!

Need a Break, I can totally empathise, I am on both sides, I suffer terribly with depression, and worry loads about how people who love me deal with it. But I am also a psych nurse, so deal with things on that side. My dad has had problems too, and I know how difficult it is caring for someone you are close too with MH problems.
Hope things get better for you all soon x

finsihed a large bottle of DS's prescription bubble bath (that never made bubbles). remembered why i stoped using it it made the bath sooooo slippery.

Well both good and bad. Managed to finish off a skin so soft bath oil (6 to go ) but had a very little wagon slip and bought a tub of vaseline - forgot to bring my little pot with me and my lips get dry. BTW I bought one of the pink ones a while back and whatever's in it seems to dry my lips out terribly - it's the proper vaseline one but I think maybe meant to give you a bit of colour. I would def not buy again. Anyway though I have inadventently added to the stash, my dear mum insisted on giving me a pedicure set, I did really want the slippers but she gave me the whole thing the stuff does smell nice though and after my pedicure yesterday I do plan to keep my feet in better shape so it's probably a good time to start using it my toenails look amazing btw, the difference it makes when someone else is doing it.

I'm off chocolate and sweets for lent by the way, much more urgent than anything else - have been eating like billy-o today, combination of comfort eating (DH away on valentines day sob) and severe hangover after the healthy spa day yesterday followed by boozy night for a friend's birthday. I think tomorrow will have to be a full makeup day

Nabs glad to hear things have settled down..

Power Rangers foam is no more!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WIBA? No, lovely lemony fragrance but far too drying. It also leaves a really scummy line around the bath. I'll have a little meander through the box tomorrow and decide what to use next.

HI folks, I stumbled on this site just after xmas and have been reading this tread ever since. Iv just got the courage to join in.... I love this site and this tread is great, I thought I was the only one that spent on toiletries just for the sake of it. I would love to join this challenge and since 01 jan only spent £2.39 on toiletries, Im soooo proud... I will look forward to joining in from now on.
