No buying toiletries in February challenge!

tara747

I haven't used anything up today and (to add to the stash) my Body Shop 3x hemp body butter order came today! But I will be eBaying the tea tree oil blemish stick and the free mascara to help pay for it. I am also eBaying LOTS of my stash and am feeling very positive! I just sold a serum this evening and will be eBaying one of my No7 GWPs as well (will keep the other one as I love the chain mail clutch bag). I do not need two!!!

I also went into Boots and had a sniff of the S&G sugar scrub... oh dear Lord, the smell was just heavenly!!! I resisted... just. But I may be tempted to buy some with points while it's on 3for2...

I also found an extra stash today too. The room that I was so pleased with on the other thread that's our library has also been since Xmas, our dumping ground for gifts we haven't used yet. So I found a Sanctuary mega box and a perfume set and a few other bits n bobs. They won't fit in the stash just yet though - no room.

I have finished both daytime and nighttime moisturisers. Currently using up a Lidl daily moisturiser recommended by SIL who has incredibly sensitive skin - if she can use it it's good stuff. And trying out the OCM at night so it looks like I won't need moisturiser. Although I do have a nivea soft i can use if necessary.

Oh and i finished a mini deoderant as well but I will have to replace it - it's handy to have in my bag just in case

And my rimmel nail polish is still going strong although I did put on another full coat today just to top up

went to the docs with my shoulder/neck/arm pain last night....good news is I am not having heart problems
bad news is we think it is caused by spending too much time at the computer!!!!now I wonder what thread that might be on?

she gave me some horse tablets(with a huge list of possible side effects)and a page of exersizes to do
went to aqua fit today and had to keep stopping due to pain

Good to hear it's not life threatening... but due to too much computer time??? Yikes!!! :eek:

Get plenty of rest Rosemary & hope the tablets help.

Well I went to town and now I am shattered, it was my first proper day out in months due to a broken ankle. I am now home with a badly swollen ankle which I am now elevating.

I went to Boots and bought the Dove deodrants for DD, Soap & Glory wipes and 2 Max factor lash extension mascara's which were on offer for £7.99 each, I was given the GWP and it has a full size Masterpiece beyond length mascara which DD has snaffled.

Now the down side is I did come out with some extras

Soap & Glory travel bottles in case (half price)
Leighton Denny crysyal nail file (have wanted this for ages)
Sanctuary Extreme lip plump sheer raspberry half price (I do love lip gloss)

I paid for these items with points as I unknown to me I had accumulated £179.32 on my card, so I thought I deserved a treat.

We also went to Millett's and bought our 2 man tent and a huge rucksack for our trip to the Glastonbury festival.

No cooking tonight as went for a lovely pub lunch.

Sounds like a really lovely day, hope your ankle recovers soon xo

Hi ladies still catching up xx




I can relate to this, but you know what they say you have to kiss a lot of frogs....
I do hope you sort it out with the oh, i always feel really emotional after an argument, with the dhs mental health issues, he can say some awful things that he doesnt mean and is so sorry for afterwards, and although i am getting better at dealing with this it still hurts:(.



:rotfl::rotfl: i get really excited when i know im getting a night in on my own lol.

Thanks Nab, that was a lovely post xoxoxo

Good evening ladies, have finally finished my daily catch up with this thread

Oi!
Are you married to my OH??
How lovely I love hearing women who are happy, the world seems to be full of miserable ones (I know I was one before I dumped the ex and met my wonderful OH)
Adores me, is fantastic to my kid and loves his mum (always a good sign )

This sounds so much like my situation, it's been the easiest relationship I've had by a long shot

Lin.c, you have such gorgeous things! Hope you have a lovely time using them up!

Thank you, I will

I will have an photo update soon, as my collection has expanded due to birthday gifts today - got some more Gok and Sanctuary, which I love, and loads of Boots Rose stuff, even though they tend to be called 'granny' sets, I love it and I find them a great base to when I'm wearing my Rock N Rose or Paul Smith Rose perfumes. I also got another Ted Baker set; still not sure what to do with those.

Have finally used up my precious CK Obsession Shower Gel - WIBA? Within a heartbeat (Obsession has been my 'signature' scent since it was launched) but it's too expensive to buy regularly. I would get them in Boots' after Xmas sale when the gift sets would go half price, but was very, very good this year and left it on the shelf :A

p.s. (hoping everyone has gone to bed by now and nobody reads this)

I bought a Sanctuary luxury bath float (full size) for £1 and a Bourjois lipstick for £2.50 on clearance in Boots today... paid with points but still feel guilty!!

I'm not in bed yet (just going.) I would rant and rave...but I think vouchers/points count less financially...just bad or the stash. I hope ou use the bath float (any chance of you an OH having a bath together with it, to heal any war wounds?)

Although I might save my points for an epilator after today....if I'm brave enough.:o

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.

The Boots tinted moisturiser gives a really good coverage, I find! You need to try a bit out first though. Why not take a little pot to the No 7 counter and ask if you can have a little to try at home. (Do they still give away little pots with a squirt of product in now? Beauty counters often used to, but if you take your own pot they'd be a bit mean to say no!!)
