No buying toiletries in February challenge!

Ho ho - nice try SA - the thing is. it's not visible from the road, is it, so you must have gone looking for it! :rotfl: It does look like you were pretty restrained though - there is some gorgeous stuff in there at the moment - the Sanctuary stuff could easily have been my downfall when I was there! Don't think the Time Delay stuff was in there when I was in the other week - the S&G was though!

*runs to find a gun to shoot SA as per request made previously*



I can really identify with this - it's back to the same old thing of "if I use it, I won't have it anymore" I think, as illogical as that seems.


Finally finished up my Clinique Cleanser this morning. WIBA? Absolutely, I love this stuff and my skin seems to as well. I think I have another mini one in my stash so will use up another one first then will go back to it for a while as a treat. I'm going to go and wash my hair in a minute I think, and have my shower. Don't think I'll use anything up though.

Honest injun, I saw it from the road and we had to pay a visit on the way back from Greenwich:)
I am so glad I was restrained with the S & G body butters. They are so highly fragranced. I won't be buying them again. I didn't see any sanctuary stuff in there ( or did I? was it quite old stock?) Actually I did buy quite a few other little bits and bobs. But one of everything rather than 10 so that is some sort of progress.

And don't worry I have shot myself in the foot:)

Is anyone actually making a list of their WBA? I'm worried that I'll get o the end of my stash and forget what I liked lol

I was thinking exactly this earlier - I think I'm going to indulge my liking for a nice spreadsheet!

Go on then - I'll let you off. The Sanctuary stuff was on one of the first aisles to the right hand side of the store - there was quite a bit of it but most of it was the sort of "spin off" ranges IYKWIM - Kylphi, can;t remember what the others are called. If they've still got any when I got back in a few months I'll probably indulge by that time as the stash will have hopefully taken a bit of a pounding by then. I've got a S&G Big Butter in Peachy Cream to use which I bought there the other week - it feels really nice from the little dab I tried on the back of my hand. I know what you mean about the strong smell though.

Sounds to me like you really are making progress SA - after all, if you're actually considering purchases constructively rather than just buying stuff for the buzz, that's a huge stride forward so well done to you. :T

Hi all,

Happy Birthday for the 18th to Trudi and homealone. Happy Birthday to the other birthday girls too. It was my birthday on the 12th. I was heading for the Greenwich Maritime museum this Saturday just gone when lo and behold there on our left was the Boots clearance store that I had been warned to stay away from some pages back. I asked dh to keep control of me and dd and ds too.
However they had body butters by s&g full size peach and a blueberry one for £2
No7 Mascaras for £1
No7 radiance renew £1
They also had a lot of stuff that time forgot. They had some Time delay stuff from years ago.
All I can say is that I was more restrained than if I had gone in there before this thread.
I was also more restrained than I would have been in the m&s mini sale on toiletries last week.
Though obviously with my stash I should not be buying anything.
I think I did ask to be shot if I bought anything else.
I hope no one took me literally on that?:o

Finished off a Simple moisturiser today, would buy again but I have another 3 in stock!

Was a bit bad today and ordered £29 worth of random stuff from e.l.f. Had some very close friends visit today and was horribly sad when they left . Have tons of make up etc already

Well have painted my toes and finger nails in Rimmel 332 hot rock. Its a funky sparkly red, very bright:eek:.

Gonna have a quick browse then off.

See you

I'm glad you had a nice day with your friends Vicster, but sorry you were sad after they'd gone. I keep looking at the E.L.F. site myself - I want to try a foundation brush as I've heard so many people now saying how good they are.....they seem to be out of stock at the moment though. There are a few things I've got my eye on on there but I'll bide my time until everything I want is in stock I think.

I've had a switch around - my roll-on deodorant is now back in the cupboard and one of the freebie Dove ones from the voucher glitch is now out to use. When that one is gone the roll-on will come out again for a while. I've also got out a half used Olay Total Effects cleanser to use at the opposite end of the day to the Regenerist one. Strangely enough I seem to have another one of the Total Effects ones still to use too - I can't imagine why that might be?! :rotfl: I've now managed to get everything into the bathroom cupboard too which is good - even the Clinique stuff I got from my friend for christmas. :T

I can't keep up either!!! lol

Just wanted to say a huge well done to salesaddict, I am proud of you girl! You are doing amazingly well.

I am resisting all offers, glitches etc - not even interested! It is truly amazing! Some of my stash is slowly selling on eBay so that helps a lot. Mind you, I treated myself to something new earlier:

Right, I'm all buttered up here (socks and everything on) and can't wait to see my mum this weekend to get the moisturising gloves that Mags30 sent! Off to bed now, night all xoxoxo

p.s. my lovely Botanics body wash is lasting sooo long, thought I was down to the dregs (like Bronnie and her P&P) but it is like the 5 loaves and 2 fish, it will wash 5,000 people before running out! :rotfl:

When is the Dove BOGOF finishing in Boots btw? I have a voucher to use up, and actually need deodorant v. soon. Thanks xo

p.s. tut to everyone who has indulged, you baaaad girls!!! :rotfl:
