I have a rotten cold and am off to see Michael Buble this evening so I thought I had better make an effort for him! LOL I have UU a sachet of Avon Celluscript and a sachet of Jurgens body lotion. I have also UU a boots botanics body scrub, not really a scrub fan but it was ok.

I counted my sachet stash yesterday and I have 100 sachets of face cream, plus various body lotions so I reckon I have about 3 months worth! So with all my pots in the cupboard I really dont need to buy a moisturiser to at least 2012!

Hi!

Can I join please? I'm scared to start listing my stash, it is that bad. My Mum used to frequently ask if I was anticipating a serious shampoo shortage I had my first UU on Friday which was a James Brown Scandalous Moisturising Shampoo. WIBA? Maybe, it wasn't bad, but I'm looking to move over to more natural products, so because of that, probably not.

I'm not expecting to have to buy anything this month apart from perhaps some shower gel and a cheap-ish shampoo to use my conditioners up with (I seem to use more shampoo than conditioner so have loads left).

Thanks

Morning all :hello:

Hope you are all enjoying a lovely lazy Sunday morning.
I have my first uu's of the month,
Tara Smith conditioner - wiba - yes, but don't need to as have two more in the stash
pantene acqua light shampoo - wiba, probably, I quite liked this but there a few more bottles of shampoo to get through before I even think of buying anything else
imperial leather shower & shave shower gel - wiba - this was a hit with both me & my DD so I'd say there's a fair chance of this reappearing in my shopping basket.

Enjoy what's left of the weekend ladies, xx

Where did you get your imperial leather shower and shave gel from? I've been looking for a shave gel but all I could seem to find was the shaving foam.

Glad you had a good holiday in spite of the weather Rosemary!

Have managed to resist the Liz Earle TSV on QVc today. Once upon a time I would have bought it without thinking and then realised that I didn't use/like half of it.

:DCould have quoted half the thread about this - I resisted too. I literally did the maths and thought mmm, I only really want/need about £25 worth. So thought stuff it.
:DJust resisted getting anything from the Avon catalogue too.

Will have a looksie at the Elastiser guy TSV coming up this Wednesday. I've never tried it but am pretty desperate with my hair. At least with QVC if you dont like it you can send it back (even though used) just miss out on the postage bit.

Am thinking of setting myself a goal - in that if I do not buy any unplanned purchases to get myself a treat at the end of the month - i have been lusting after the Chanel No5 premiere perfume. Even though this is pricey I would have frittered away that amount or more on unplanned stuff. Will have a think.:A

So quick stocktake:
Shampoo/conditioner - none needed
Hair treatment - maybe. got 2 pots but I use half a pot each wash - the joys of having really long hair.
Make up - need a new liquid liner BarryM
Skin care - none needed, only buy if gifts with purchase for Holy Grail stuff.
Body care - plenty of body butters

So really all i need are liquid eye liner, cotton wool, and maybe some hair treatment stuff. Will double check my stash before any buys.

Bought it in a chemist called Gordons, which I think is exclusive to N Ireland, but you can also get it in Tesco.

I looked in our biggish Tescos the last time I was there and their selection was rubbish. Have managed to get some now but might have to try the really big Tescos next time I have a visit planned to see my mum and see if they have any in there when I need to get replacements.

It's one of their foamburst range and is stocked with the shower gels but it is called shower and shave, (in case you were just checking the shaving section) hth, xx
