Just had to mention that I have My Supermarket'ed instead of Liz Earle'd! Well done me. Resisted temptation and went for UUs and cheap stuff instead!

Haha, well done Alfie! I read the blog about it, sounds like it was a struggle for him to find anyone! Guessing you're in Rhodes then?

I read the blog too, that's so funny!

Well done you. I've seen Martin wandering around central London a couple of times (are the offices near Trafalgar sq?) but never said hi or anything - i'd be too scared for some reason :rotfl:

I'm guessing that alfie was the lady with the Nationwide credit card then!
Ooh, alfie, what did you say to him? Did you own up to being a forum member? I'll never forget the time ML himself mentioned my thread about DS's lost teddy bear, "Not moneysaving, just sweet" in his weekly email. That story is one for his stag do!

June 1st-9th No toiletries purchased.

But then I went and bought 3 glamour magazines for the Benefit freebies and a Marie Claire for the shower gel.

But I wouldn't have bought any of those magazines if it wasn't for the freebies so they have to go in the toiletries budget. It wasn't an impulse purchase, I had planned on getting them and they are a fabulous freebie. I just wish I could get value that good every month.

By the way the Benefit boxes have "exclusively for Glamour" marked on them, just in case people plan on ebaying them.

Still not bought any toiletries this month, (except the mouthwash I previously declared, lol!) and I had 2 more UUs today, only samples of body wash and face cream but every little helps!

Footymadgal I always put my spare soaps in with my clothes too, not only gives them another use, but also saves storage space!

Hugs
Sue.

well, I bypassed the mag with the showergel, as we're soon not going to have a shower gel, I saw one with lipgloss...but I have serious quantities of lip gloss....enough to repaint the london eye. But the glamour mags......were all sold out!
