evening girls,
some ins to declare, my lovely OH surprised me at the weekend with the Soap & Glory vanity case gift set from Boots so I now have a lovely stash of S&G bath and body products to pamper myself with, was well chuffed.
Also declaring a UU - Tresemme 24hr volume hairspray - wiba - yes, this gives amazing volume, just a pity it's so expensive.0 -

I do this one as well - https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/2697705
my 2 weaknesses (well actually 2 of my many) are Pret lunches and toiletries!!!
One UU - Aussie Hair Insurance leave in spray conditioner. WIBA Yes and will. Have got a Nicky Clarke one in my stash so will buy another after that.
Ins - BF doesn't like his elvive conditioner that he bought so he gave to me.
Also my perfum parlour smellalikes came and yes I do feel a bit guilty but they are so good and cheap!!Since starting again after beanie: June 2016: Child development DVDs, Massive Attack tickets. July: Aberystwyth trip, hotmilk nightie. Aug: £10 Hipp Organic vouchers, powerpack. September: Sunglasses. October: £30 poundland vouchers.0 -
Argh - not really related but I forgot how much Quinoderm irritates! Now got red, itchy, taut dry skin all over my chin where my spots are. Great. I know from past experience it will go, and so will the spots, but I would quite like to stick my head in the freezer at the moment and drown it with oil!!0

Evening all
Hope everyone's challenge is going well.
I am doing well. I have 2 more UU's to report. John Frieda's Weather proofing schampoo. I used to love this product since I have frizzy hair but I am no longer living along the coast so the hair isn't particularly frizzy anymore so now I am glad to get rid of it. Also, used up Jergens Extra softening hand cream, I thought this was a lovely product but wont be buying for now since have several other hand creams in stock.
I took advantage of the £5 off voucher at BS and bought an eyeshadow and a rollon. Managed to get 2 samples as well, one for carrot cream and this is a fab cream and really cheap and one for a cherry shower gel.
Did anyone else receive a free sample of LE's schampoo and conditioner? I really loved using this so will be buying once I have use up my current schampoo.
I now have £54 in my pot since joining this challenge, which I am really pleased about.
Good luck with the challenge.

Wow, I'm really impressed that you've put away £54, Becky! I might start putting a pound away when I use up something as well, then I can splash out when I run out of everything.
On a similar note, have finished up a pack of dental floss. Not very exciting, but glad I finished something up by the end of September!0 -
2 more UU - a revolting body exfoliator - I don't know who made it - only finished it because it felt like my duty to obliterate it :rotfl: And a tube of Crest. Hopefully some more things will splutter soon :A0
