No Buying Toiletries in July Challenge!!!

MinniMe_2

wow Jacks what a list - i am so glad you posted that as I now know I am not the only one!

I think I will go cold turkey this month, with the exception of deo!!

Planning on having a bath this evening to do legs, scrub etc so will start the using up this evening!!

Thanks for creating the new thread - was waiting on it so I can join

Ooops, just posted over in the June thread, and was actually quite shocked when I looked at my calendar and realised it was July already! :eek:

I had my hundredth use up last night, which actually feels quite appropriate given I've been doing this since the start of January, and it's now half way through the year - the stash is definitely going down! :T:j

(and 101 this morning, but that was actually a binning as a lotion had gone off...)

State of play for me is below (all in one go this time. )

I really need to go cold turkey this month as it's Beauty Month on QVC :eek: :eek: :eek: and I just had a massive splurge on Mally make up and OPI nail polish.

In Use

*snipped*

My word, that's a big list! Had to snip or this page would be the ongest on the site... Scary stuff... Will be fun to use up though!

I seem to remember she was going to Paris over the Whitsun Bank Holiday period. She didn't post on the June thread and she's not been on the chocolate thread either .

I'm also quite worried, it's been ages, and she was always so chatty - just can't picture her going cold turkey from the forums... Has anyone pm'ed her in the past while?

I have finished my last Botanics BB, thank goodness! It really doesn't suit me, but I did have to buy three of them for the stockpile before finding that out :rotfl: I'm also going to bin the last one of my old-style Lipliciouses - only about a cm left in the tube and it has gone all clotty and I'm sick of it. Have several of the new formula ones left, but like them, they're a much better product.

like me, she's been missing for a few weeks, but she is posting on the money threads today, so not to worry too much!!

I think sometimes after a hol or an enforced break (like my no computer time recently) it does make you realise how much time can be frittered online and maybe refocus a bit. The lure is very strong though.......if you're easily distracted like me ...ahem:o!!

Going straight away to do some food shopping now! Smack my virtual wrist if you find me back here before 10.30pm!!

I hope she's ok. It's funny how you build up a picture of people and how you get concerned and miss posters when they're not around! Her posts are always bright and breezy and she is full of encouragement for others.[/QUOTE]

Couldn't agree more! Hope she's okay!

ive never posted in one of these threads before, but i do have a lot of toilletries and makeup which is just gathering dust, i tend to buy a lot of vaue or own brand toilletries ie toothpaste for 20p then splurge on things like a cleanser for £8, but this site has provided me with lots of free lotions and potions, so really my goal is to use up what ive got
