I have a UU - Elle McPherson Pedicure in a Jar - WIBIA possibly but I'm not a fan of Elle McPherson products, did leave my feet smooth.
In the meantime I'm still using up the S&G hand cream which I've discovered has gone a bit icky. I've found it's not that great on my feet.Life is a coin, you can spend it anyway you wish, but you can only spend it once.
Go as far as you can see, and when you get there you'll see further.

This morning I had another UU of a miniature shower gel (55 ml), this time a freebie Dove Supreme Cream Oil Body Wash WIBA? No. It had a lovely satin-like texture but I really didn't like the smell. IMO it smelt like very cheap soap.0

A UU for me a sanex roll on deodrant. WIBIA? no. the only good thing was it seemed to last forever. i only bought it as it was on deal even though i already had a few different ones in my stash. Before starting this challenge i never thought of what i already had i just seen the bargain.0

A few more purchases this week:
Corsodyl mouthwash x 3 on 3 for 2 (need this due to pregnancy gums!)
Smile mouthwash x 3 on 3 for 2 and 100 advantage card points
Smile toothpaste £1.39 and 50 advantage card points
Will probably take advantage of the Pantene Tesco offer/£1 off voucher tonight as we need to do a £20 shop to use another voucher!
A UU - A trial sized bottle of Palmers Cocoa Butter that I found half used in the drawer - been using it intermittently with stretch mark cream.My debt free diary | Post Office loan: £2131 1429.38 | Barclaycard: £4429 1988.12 | Paypal Credit £322.71 574.91 | Monzo Flex £169.03 |
Total £4151.44 | £2900.30 of £7051.74 paid off since diary started October 2024.0 -
Just a small purchase to report - £2.50 on a No 7 eyeliner (should have been £7.50 but used the £5 voucher donated to me by OH).
Whilst in Boots I used some Advantage points to pay for shampoo and conditioner as I'm on the last bottles now - so no spend there.
Only one UU - a Foamburst tropical shower gel - WIBA - was on offer for £1.50 in Boots a while ago, OH loves them (think its the novelty factor) but I wouldn't pay the full price of approx £3 for it.0 -
forgive me ladies for I have been truely wicked:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:
I went to town to get measured for a bra as thought I'd gone down in size:rotfl:no such luck ,lady at Bravissimmo said you are a 36FF not 36F:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:,have been a double cup before and it always seem harder to get bras:(
bought a fantasie t shirt one but not convinced she is right as it seems too big.Went to Debs sale to try and buy some cheaper bras but nothing at all soooooo...here it comes spent £68 at clarins:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:.In my defense I was a/ depressed by the bra issue,b/it was bonus time and c/ I had some vouchers.
I know I did not need the body lotion the girl recomended as it was a large one for the price of a small and if I bought it I got 2 gifts instead of 1.ended up with eye gel,cleanser wash,body lotion plus freebies of shower gel and (I think) body lotion plus bag of 4 goodies.
so very sorry I will repeat 100 lines I must not buy anymore toiletries in august....pity I had been so good in July:rotfl:0 -
Oh dear, I have been naughty.
At B&Q and went into B&M could have spent a fortune but kept purse in bag.
Then popped into Boots to get a prescription and while I was waiting wandered round the store.
Ended up with several carrier bags!!!
Got some Ted Baker reduced cosmetic bags, then a couple of Good Works Body lotions, well they were 75% off and BOGOF! Some FCUK refillable perfume at 88p (quite a few of these but love the smell), some nail clippers at 29p, emery boards 50p and then just when I was heading to the till, found ckin2u body lotion at £1!
Now going to sit in the naughty corner.
And to top it off went to Asda and stocked up on the 1/2 price grab bags, Minstrels and M&Ms my favourite!Life is a coin, you can spend it anyway you wish, but you can only spend it once.
Go as far as you can see, and when you get there you'll see further.
