    went to bed with a man and woke up with 2 cats:rotfl:one at my side and the other on OHs pillow.poor love had to go off to the airport at 5.30,he is sooooooo stressed with work am now feeling bad about letting it upset me and getting annoyed with him.

    just trying some instant tea for a survey site:(:(:( its tea but not as we know it Jim!!!!!!

    off to make some proper coffee now
    nearly finished the boots time delay face tan,it is very greasy so I only use it on home days and I don't like the smell also does not tan you that much so ok if you are pale I guess but as I garden a lot and have a good colour anyway not much use(didn't buy as was in a goodie bag)

    I will need to be good in may as my stash has increased a lot in April due to so many good offers around!

    mine were super snuggly last night, despite me having to get up lots for various things....but, while i've been up for three and a half hours or whatever, they are still curled up asleep

    Happy Birthday kaz.

    I've just finished off a 200ml tube of Elemis Frangipani shower gel. WIBA? Probably not although I do have another one of these to go at in my stockpile. I think overall I love Philosophy shower gels the most and will try to treat myself to these in future.
    Back for the No Buying Toiletries challenge. I pledge to only buy when I run out of a product that is not already in my stash no matter what wonderful emails land in in my Inbox or threads I read on MSE re: glitches!

    Happy Birthday Kaz! _party_ :)

    I tried to sort of tidy up my stash the other day - it looks bigger now than it did before :p I've had a good month for not buying things, but not a very good one when it comes to finishing them up.
  • hi everyone,

    just a quick pop in to say hello...and that I still haven't bought any toiletries since I started the challenge which is well over 3 months now...I am starting to run low on a few things like shampoo/conditioner, down to my last can of deo...typical though I can't find any offers on frizz ease shampoo anywhere when I want to buy them so I'm kicking myself for missing the tesco offer last month :( I'm sure something will come up soon tho, or I hope so! it does get easier the longer I stay out of boots, and I've switched to doing a big shop at asda once a month instead of weekly and that removes temptation too :)

    hope everyone is doing well xx
    *wonders when they will make dressing gowns acceptable day wear?*
    No new toiletries challenge - use up the stash first!

    I'm pretty sure ASDA are doing frizz ease for 3 for £10 - not as good as the tesco glitch mind you!x

    Hi Bekah and Vikki!



    Calne's lovely and Swindon is great for shopping ;)





    :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:Only just seen this, anyone think there might be somethig in the Wessex Water? That makes you spend money on toiletries? Where are you from Debidoodle and trudij? I live just on the edge of Bath city centre.

    Kaz, hope you have a fab birthday and my OH spent many years in WSM (his daughter still lives there)

    I'm still chuckling to myself that there's so many product junkies in this area :rotfl:

    Im in Poole at the moment. the ex lives in Swinedom - its ok there :)

    Thanks Bronnie. Those of you who were early will just have to say it all over again :p. No, not really :rotfl:. Thanks all. DH is desperate to do something tomorrow (tonight) but it's the final debate so after 8 my front door will be shut and the telly on. I will be opening a nice bottle of wine though :D.
    Lots of mucky work to do this weekend so will use lots of product I imagine.

    TrudiJ, why, Oh why did I think you lived in Scotland :o?
    Lol at the wessex water, don't they get enough money out of us already? Maybe they want us all down at Chew valley lake, lathering up :rotfl:.
    I've had a 3 day break from the dove cause DD asked me why I wanted orange legs :( cheeky mare.


    :rotfl: at the legs thing - out of the mouths of babes... !!! and god knows where you got Scotland from - I honestly think I couldnt be any further away and not be abroad.... ;)
