I think anything that we do not *need* to use is non-essential. We all need soap/shampoo/toothpaste/deodorant,

BTW, you know you can wash your hair with bicarbonate of soda don't you?

fab mentality, tia! I used to NEVER get given bath stuff and then one year, weirdly everyone gave me loads and I didn't know how to ever use it all up! My only problem is people only give me scents/kinds I don't really want instead of the really nice stuff...I adore Lush but I never get that.

Has anyone ever swapped TC from 4-weekly to weekly payments? Will they let you? I want to change because I think it will help us, especially in the short term as we're seriously short on money and DH's car may need stuff done AGAIN (I could cry).

I like those body shop stuff and lush, wouldn't use shampoo anyone gave me though :rotfl: I'm well precious about what I put on my hair - Aussie shampoo volumising for the win.

I honestly have a thing about smells, I have super smelling power so people say. Sniffing yankee candles in the chemist makes me happy :rotfl:

I've never done that Aless, but I've always been paid weekly (£10 SCORE!)

all this talk of soaps and stuff - grrrr, thought earlier, I know go be sensible me and attack shops on a Monday morning can't be that busy. Doh! And even more annoyingly thought would get preg sil some sanctuary mum2be stuff from boots as bound to be on 3 for 2, but no as it's got the word pregnancy on it is therefore a million times pricier. Enraged, picked up brochure and thinks I know get meself on line and order random stuff for people - is mainly out of sdding stock. Stupid boots - who else was it did this rant earlier this week?! Sorry folks!

Off to attempt to make chocolate cake now but Thomas being very boisterous so don't hold out much hope for too much creativity and will be very ordinary chocolate cake! But cake none the less

it was me! I had a mini rant several times about boots! Finally got an order in though - fingers crossed it comes and is right. :cool:

Im sure you can choose when you first get them? Or maybe it's changed? I know my mum gets her monthly, she says so it feels like she has more money, or some nonsense :rotfl:

thanks SS----who buys a new printer cos they have ran out of black ink??

TC- my friend went from monthly to weekly, no probs. she finds it easier. i like the monthly but at times think the weekly option would be better,

ours is montly susan, you have the option for either

Susan, they asked us to choose when we first claimed. We initially thought monthly would be better as everything else was monthly (bills, rent, paychecks, etc), but lately it would be nice not to have to wait those interim weeks to have the spare cash.
