    Another UU No7 Soft & Soothed cleanser WIBIA? No. It was a small size one in a GWP set. I really dont like this type of cleaner dont feel really clean after use although they do help with getting off heavy make up i still feel the need to wash afterwards.

    Afternoon all, have UU a bottle of Palmolive aquarium, a sachet of 3 min miracle and another box of herbal tea. Would buy all of these again!

    I used up this morning LE's Sun Shade SPF25 face protector cream. I love their old sun creams but don't particularly like their new mineral sun cream. I feel the new is too oily. Has anyone else tried it?

    Enjoy your weekend.

    Think I'll get one more wash out of my Aussie shampoo, WIBA, yup, i love the smell of it, but I think i have another in my stash so won't be buying for a while yet.

    Just need to decide which shampoo to take out of the stash next.

    UU

    Sanex Dermo Sensitive deoderant WIBA - Yes but I am happy with basically any roll on really so only if it's on offer.

    Well done on all your UUs!

  • Hello - been AWOL for a bit.

    Generally been good and not buying stuff I don't need.

    I went a bit mad with some nail polishes (all Rimmel and all really disappointing for french polish look). Will stick to the Marvala stuff, much better quality and everything. But Rimmel colour ones are brilliant. Daft!

    Some nearly used ups to report:
    Nivea Soft - WIBA yes (already have as on last knockings). Read about it on and here and for a cheapie product it feels relatively good. I use it on my back and that seems to be helping that area too. IF you don't like the original NIvea - I didnt as I found it was like spreading cheese for me (maybe cold house!) then try this - it's lovely. Savers is usally the cheapest place to buy.

    Avene cleanser ultra gentle - WIBA no. Heard about this from a make up artist and it doesn't really cut it for me. It is gentle but doesn't feel like it's doing anything. Although the make up artist was right about using those aggressive oil busting cleansers - she said they encourage the skin to produce more oil! So I have a bottle of a Neutrogena one of those that I will use as a shower gel instead of using on my face.

    Clarins Eau Dynamisante 'perfume' - WIBA yes. The smell I find really uplifting. I don't think it lasts very long but I enjoy using it. And as long as I buy during bonus time then that makes it a bit more affordable in a way.

    Right I'm going to body brush tonight, then have a quick shower and then a bath. Apparently that gives the skin a real boost.

    No spend required!! :T
    It was free with the n07 voucher ages ago!!
    I don't really like it, wouldnt buy it again but hey ho it was FREE so couldn't leave it in the shop could I???!!!
    I was wombling vouchers & topping up anyones phone who would let me (in £5 top ups) to get the vouchers!! And all for some carp body lotion!!! :T

    This was from the good old days when we had our own Boots thread.

    Bought hubby some of that new Dove deodorant for men as he wanted to try it. Funnily enough I don't have a huge stash his stuff :rotfl: as he only has two other deodorants. It was bogof in Sainsburys and I had two coupons so they worked out about £1.00 each.
    Did owe £9,951.96

    Now helping hubby pay off loan. Finally paid off :j

    Owe Virgin [STRIKE]£5,950.00 [/STRIKE]at 0% til June 2009 £3,427.89. Owe HSBC [STRIKE]£5,460.78 [/STRIKE]2.9% til May 2010 £3,703.07. Owe Post Office £1,676.62 at 0% til September 2010
  • Am I the only one who doesnt have a problem sticking to this challenge whatsoever?
    I wouldnt like to think that I am the only woman on Earth who buys virtually next to nothing when it comes to toiletries.......but maybe Im odd.
    I can list what I buy a YEAR on my 10 fingers. :cool:
