No Buying Toiletries in December Challenge

asset2004

Another UU for me - a Thai infusions shower gel. WIBIA - possibly yes, nice scent and good later. Think it was under £1 so good but have lots more to get through first!! lol
Had started using a runny body lotion I got free in a hotel for my feet. It's pretty rubbish so think I may bin it.

morning all 2/3 boys home:):) just need no3 to make it on the 24th (Heathrow allowing!!!)

had the carol service last night,all went well and seems a bit strange waiting a few days for Christmas!!!just need to get my head round cooking for 5 again instead of 2!!

skin still so dry and pale so using the boots gradual tan stuff bought using the £5 voucher a while ago,very greasy and does not give much of a tan but ok to use on "at home" days.
just had a strange invitation for an afternoon in jan, mulled wine /nibbles OUTSIDE at a new neighbours!!!!!can't see there being many takers:eek:

Hello ladies I am still working hard on the challenge even though I haven't been posting only one and a half boxes left in the top of the wardrobe. Have decided that I am going to give myself one more month (january) then I'm gonna give away whatevers left, I really have had enough of it.

ooooh - thats interesting Rosemary - I had similar but (allegedly) from Debenhams and it was about our new washing machine... told her there was no way on earth I was giving out my bank details over the phone, and she then insisted on telling me the machine and serial numbers "to prove Im who I say I am - and Im calling from Debenhams" - she didnt like it when I told her that it proved nothing of the sort - all it proves is that she knows which washing machine I own...
they emailed the details of it over to me, and to be fair - they already had the correct email and everything else fits - but theres no way Im going for it !!!!

the Boots woman said she would email the details but nothing so far,just seems a big con to tell me I was going to get a free new cooker then ask me for £1.65 a WEEK!!!!,it is not as if cookers go wrong that much and you can usually get spare parts to fix them,she also said to buy a new similar cooker would now be £200 more,the new free one seems to be "given" when the old one breaks down but my last one was about 13 years old so 13 times the yearly service costs would probably pay for a new cooker anyway:mad::mad::mad:

I know this has nothing to do with toiletries,it is just the Boots connection!

Sorry all. I weakened and bought the S&G set. However, I am going to get my mum to give it to me for a pressie. So do I still need to 'fess up to an IN?
UU: an M&S bubble bath and a hand cream. Yay!

A UU Tresemme deep conditioning treatment WIBA no its not as good as Aussie 3 minute miracle and made my hair feel greasy the following day.

Think I have found the cause of my rash, looks like it was dermatitis caused by Nivea deodrant, which has surprised me as I have never reacted to Nivea products before, so I have given the remaining to my daughter.
