OMG!!!

I've just opened my post and DS2 has sent me some 10% money off vouchers for Boots - I think I'll quit this months challenge now as with those in my pocket I've no chance:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

I am very pleased with myself I have taken products back to shop and swapped them for new products that i will actually use so very happy with that, still have HUGE pile of toileteries however at least its ones that i will use.... Loads and loads to get through now so will stay away from temping stores with points and loyalty cards and the obsession of gaining points and compulsive shopping....:):)

Nearly used ups:
Avon Perceive roll on perfume - wiba yes - but not til I've used up my stash (no buying that Chanel No5 as a treat as I found some perfumes in my stash!)

Clean & Clean deep cleansing lotion blue one - wiba yes. Quite astringent - so similar to Clinique toner. Only use it if skin getting quite greasy.

Right I've decided to givwe all the mag freebies a miss. So often I am not impressed. Plus I have lots of hand creams and that.

The QVC offer is coming up at midnight - that Philip Kingsley one - wil be interesting to see if it includes Elastisiser which I'd like to use./try.

Excuse the spelling - am exhausted today!

3 UUs to report - yay! A miniature hotel shower gel (will reuse the bottle for decanting), a sachet of Nivea day cream and a 50 ml Trevor Sorbie Volume Mousse WIBA? Yes, this is one of my favourites.

UU Elemis Skin Bliss capsules. WIBA? Well no cos I can't afford (was a gift) but they were lovely and I only used them as a treat as they were quite intense. Used up the last night one yesterday-bye bye lovely product...

UU Mini Aqua Light Pantene shampoo. WIBA? Maybe - was ok.

Yay for UUs and no ins.

No UUs bar a couple of postcard fragrance samples... and I'm afraid I bought MC for a Ciate paint pot...

I would love to join in with this. I have a stash of stuff from last year's Boots sale that I want to use up and a ton of makeup.

I have just joined the "No new clothes in October" bunch so this will fit in with my new stringent spending plan. Just need to find something to occupy my lunch hour which I usually spend in our main shopping street.

1st U/U GWP Boots No 7 moisturiser. Wouldn't buy again as No 7 too expensive. Will be sticking to Oil of Ulay!

Well I have to say this challange is helping me a lot and I am managing to stay strong despite going to TK Maxx and Savers yesterday.

So a couple of UU

• Nicky Clarke Colour Radiance Revitaliser (I have highlighed hair so use one a week). WIBA - No at the mo as I still have another 44 :eek: in my stash so no need to buy again til next summer!!!

• Dettol Healthy Touch Gel 50ml size - WIBA yes does the trick without stinging my hands however I have other brands that I will use up first.

Have a few products that seem almost done a week ago but are still going...

2 UU's to report.
Herbal Escences intensive hair masque- WIBA?- yes, but probably only if it was on offer. Did the job but no more than usual conditioner.
Skin so soft body oil spray- WIBA?- yes, got 2 more to use up.

Got a shower gel and shampoo that should be gone in the next day or so.
No buy ins yet this month to report. Didn't even win the ebay perfume auction I had my eye on so have been a very good girl.

I'm staying strong if not posting much. I finished and had to replace a toothpaste. It feels like a bit of an anticlimax TBH. I'm not sure we don't have toothpaste in stash, I thought we did, but I can't find it...its not unpacked. I've reached a stage I need to really get that sort of stuff more organised and get an idea what I have. e.g. I think I might be just about to run out of moisturiser, inc samples. this might never have happened to me before, that I haven't got one ready to open (or half used and forgotten about.)
