    Don't think I have quite got the hang of this thread yet.......

    VERY pleased with myself because I had used up some tubes of stuff and even cut them open to get all the product :beer:

    But then came home from Lloyds with a Dove pro-age beauty body lotion.......I bought it because it was marked down from £4.99 to £2.50.

    Got home with it and remembered I am not supposed to buying any more lotions and potions - doh!! :o

    And it's pobably cheaper elsewhere anyway.

    Back to the drawingboard for me I think!! :D

    You could try returning it? Keep hold of the receipt and take it back next time you're passing. That way you can count it as one gone from your stash too!

  • Had some perfume for my birthday and bought a lipstick in Debenhams, but that's going to be all this month. Finshed a dry shampoo today. Using up a little pot of moisturiser by mixing it with foundation to make tinted moisturiser.
  • Hi
    Finished garnier fructis shampoo today. Not sure why it was still around only had one use left. Was probably saving it. I now use Tesco Jojoba which I like. Have several bottles in stock.
    Have been using the spa therapy body balm every day after shower and although skin feels the same I do feel indulged and I love the smell.
    Have worn lippy and foundation to work this week - people are starting to talk.

    On a positive.... used up crabtree and evelyn la source body lotion this was a freebie WIBA this was a lovely lotion and the fresh smell lingered all day.
    Have a question, if you get something with points and it was massively reduced and you only have 2 others in your stash.... does it count :whistle:

    well i have been keeping an eye on the perfume gift sets in boots - and today the stella mccartney set with a candle was finally reduced down to the bargain price of £14.98 - had enough points so just couldn't hold back. have been so good this year and saved a fortune and i didn't actually spend proper money.
    am i forgiven?
