    Sorry-just wanted to save us all money -£3 is an absolute bargain!
    Sorry again, but enjoy!!

    I can't really blame you, but it's nice trying to convince myself it wasn't my fault! ;)

    Good moneysaving by taking the original purchase back though!:j

    It's quite naughty, really. I normally don't like that behaviour in people, but have grown a bit harder about it. You're right, though - they are an absolute bargain - but I should not have bought that second body butter as I already have tons of moisturiser which needs using up. Fair enough for the scrubs, and the other butter meant I got free delivery (and was technically free as I got it for the same as the 4 BBs that I bought in the shop), but I shouldn't have crumbled for the second. Naughty girl! :D

    Welcome to the gang hon! :j:wave:

    I have a couple of purchases to confess. I've replaced the Flexitol heel balm I finished a few days ago with Scholl Heel Repair Cream and Scholl Hard Skin Softening Cream - just for a change.

    for some reason, although i have lots of shampoos and conditioners i keep feeling the need to buy more shampoos because i have less of those compared to conditioners. It's mad! i've got a few bottles already which haven't been started and a huge Tresemme bottle that i'm part way through.
    i've never obsessed over such things before, definitely think i'm coming down with something.

    hi everyone, not been on here in ages. still trying to keep up wih the challenge. was very good in boots yesterday, they had the bonus time offer on and i resisted - am always tempted by the freebies, but thought i really dont need anything at the moment. Not really been able to keep track of toiletries as am having my bathroom done out and have had to pack things away. should finally be finished by the end of the week so can do a proper list of stash. make up and body lotion still seem to be in abundance!
    BUT one major UU have finished a lip gloss:T only about another 20 to use up:eek:

    Hi, I have two more UU's and another confession (I know I promised. Sorry, I'll do lines!).

    UU : Elemis Absolute Eye Serum. WIBA? Yes, it's lovely stuff but won't be buying this month. Have a Boots Vitamin E one to use up first.

    UU: Small tub of TBS Love etc WIBA? Yes as I now have the shower gel. Mind you I do have a spare tub in my stash that I got with the Marie Clare mag.

    Now fessing up to buying some more OPI lacquers. QVC naughtily sent me a 3pay voucher so have ordered an 11 piece set with 5 lacquers (all of the curent Summer collection plus one more). I don't own a teal or orange (at least bright orange colour) and the kit was very good value - £33.96 for the lot.
    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!

    Now you mention it, I've used up a lipgloss as well, although I'm gutted as it's my everyday work one and one I will need to replace (if I can't find the Estee Lauder one which is posher but similar :rotfl:).
