Just wanted to pop in and say can you believe still not spent any more :j
we will prob need toothpaste by the end of the month- but thats it.
Have used up:
Unberto Gianni (??) brunette shampoo WIBA - no very stripping awful awful
OH has almost finished this ancient lynx WIBA- I like it but he says it smells like "chavs" lols
Couple more of the 25p sunsilks conditioners- WIBA- yup they are fine, still got about 10 left tho
M&S Shea body butter almost at the end - WIBA- no its greasy and doesnt seem to hydrate at all .
Anyway, thats me havent spent anything aside from 99p on toothpaste since I bought the bodyshop sets : T :j:beer: Well aint funny how its the little things in life that mean the most? Not where you live, the car you drive or the price tag on your clothes.
Theres no dollar sign on piece of mind
This Ive come to know...
So if you agree have a drink with me, raise your glasses for a toast :beer:0 -
I know its late folks but I have just remembered that I needed your help! I am going to London for the weekend tomorrow and I seem to remember someone mentioning a Boots outlet shop. Off Oxford Street?? Or did i just make it up? If you know what I'm talking about I would be very grateful for some info. I know I've set a no spend challenge but I need some sun stuff for when we go away - 3rd May - and I thought it may be worth having a look. Any info gratefully accepted. Thank you and good night everyone - sleep well.
NOt sure if aynone answered this but the boots clearnce place is in Beckton e6, claps gate lane. It is not convenient for public transport really imo, so if you are not driving its a helluva trek:beer: Well aint funny how its the little things in life that mean the most?

Hi - used up Lee Stafford Climate Control conditioner - WIBA no. Rubbish. Doesn't do anything and has a really strong smell. Was quite expensive too about £6, even though I got 3 for 2 (still a shampoo and a hair treatment to use up).
The sun is out and so I'm off this PC, happy pampering. And remember the sun protection for our faces in particular. No use all that pampering and then looking like leather is there.Declutter 300 things in December challenge, 9/300. Clear the living room. Re-organize storage

I too have things on their last knockings now - an Avon Thermafirm moisturiser and a liquid handsoap and one or two other bits. Might go and do a face mask in a bit - needless to say it will still be the everlasting Strawberry & Yogurt Avon one. *rolls eyes* Still impressed with the eye cream. Trying to think what else......I'm easing back into using foot cream again after having had a strange reaction to something I was using a while back. I'll use the overnight foot repair one for a week or so before I introduce anything else though just to be cautious.
Are you talking about an Avon eye cream, if so which one?Did owe £9,951.96
Now helping hubby pay off loan. Finally paid off :j

Bought a powder brush - I don't have a good one, and it was reduced from £10 to £2.
Haven't fininshed anything - except a speciality box of Twinings tea and a box of Green Redbush tea which was... distinctive. Nothing ends anymore. Every morning is groundhog day!0 -
went to go get another moisturiser out of the stash to discover its 'shimmer body cream' in other words its got bloody glitter in it. Don't quite know what to do with it now. Don't particularly want to have to walk around glinting in the sun0

I went into Debenhams yesterday to collect my free sample of HydraQuench lotion the voucher which came with the free £5 voucher from their Beauty club. I was meant to be given a 5ml sample but SA was very generous and gave me a 15ml sample instead. Well pleased! Didn't take the voucher either so will go back for another sample when there is a different SA at the counter. I still haven't decided what to buy with my £5 voucher. I wanted to buy the small tube of l'occaitaines hand cream for £7 which is a lovely treat but my local Debenhams doesn't sell it.
Hope you all have a lovely weekend.No toiletries challenge, started 18/1/2010 - Putting £1 in my savings jar for every item that I use up. Pot 1 to 4 = £261. Pot 5=£23
