    Hello all, another lurker stopping by!
    I have followed this the whole of feb, altough am still a little afraid (embarrased!) to stocktake my stash, I will do it with pics one day soon.
    Am loving PYNM, however I cant practise weekly, because of shift work.

    :j Hmmmmmm, a little off topic, but I just found these lovely little guys, I was wondering where you were all getting them from! :rotfl:
  • OK, after some slippage *cough* in Feb (I was on holiday, the shops were open......). I am back on the wagon.

    I bought what I needed on Saturday using Boots points (James Brown Shampoo, Conditioner and heat spray, cotton buds).

    I also got my haircut and coloured (£36) but have now found a hairdresser who is apparently really good and will do a cut for £15, am going to colour it myself.

    Am eBaying premium unused makeup and nail polish as we speak and putting the money into my savings account.

    Will be strong and resist all temptations. :A

    wow page 3 already on the 1st of march!

    lovely day here and went shopping with OH,did not even go near a tolietry shop:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:(he is the smash and grab sort of shopper!,ok but now I am having to go back next week and swop the socks he bought in the wrong size and pick up the shoes he ordered from marks)

    L,occitane sent me a coupon for a free cherry scented goody bag if I spend £35,sounds lovely but I will try and be strong:p

    PYNM again,I only did mine last night with the no 7 miracle stuff and it is wearing off at the tips already despite a top coat,think I will only wear on my toes in future:mad:

    wore my new skirt at a dance last night ,felt really nice:):):)

    I am not encouraging spending, but thought this was a good offer

    Marie Claire April magazine contains a free Neal's Yard Power Berry Daily Moisture Cream worth £10.50.

    i'm almost tempted to try it - is it in the pack/ magazine do you know or do you have to collect it from somewhere??
    loves how my "I've been censored" signature has been censored. LOL. Happy Christmas. :xmastree:

    I know this is probably slightly cheating but I have decided to take a hair band out of my stock so my current one can be washed and I was going to rotate them on a regular basis and I have also thrown out an eye mask which came as part of a set that I know I will never use. Did think about possibly e-baying it but can't be bothered with the hassle.
    Did owe £9,951.96

    Now helping hubby pay off loan. Finally paid off :j

    And I hear Glamour magazine has some James Brown hair conditioner:D

    ....
    This was on my door step when i got home today. does a free gift with a mag count as spending if i was already subscribed (5 issues £5) to it anyway?!?!?
    it is james brown, intensively glossy rescue treatment. 100ml

    also I was naughty and went to tesco. got 9 items of frizz ease stuff for £6.

    this is a very bad start to this challenge - quite embarrassing really:o

    Try 'capping' the tips of your nails with your topcoat, that usually works - though try not to do it too thick or it'll chip off. It's a balancing act :D

    No but it will count when people (like me) who don't normally buy the magazine buy it for the beauty freebie:)

    Would it be good to add this, and the original OP by katie clampet to the first post of each new thread?

    As well as PYNM and Fab Full-On Friday Pamper? And any other acronyms that may confuse newbies, such as WIBA?

    Oh, and links to the orginal and february thread? :o


    Excellent idea:T
