wow that's gonna be a fun shopping spree

TBH, I think I feel guilty about spending it already The more I think about it the more I think I should be sensible with it. One of the things on my day zero list is to buy a designer handbag when I'm debt free - think I should maybe hold out for then... Plus, OH hasn't got a job ATM so seems even more silly...

Might put it towards yoga training deposit... See it more as an investment...

Hmm.

Will still have a good shopping trip window shopping/trying on and lunching with a pal though :beer:

thanks La E, thought my signature needed a bit of lightening up so i borrowed someone's ideas from here.

oh meant to say take a look at the No more toiletries thread on the Families board we're all trying to use up our stock of toiletries.

Hey La Escocesa, Happy New Year! Hope you had a good one.

Well done on clearing £3.5k last year, that is fantastic!

I did the using up toiletries the year before last - I made sure I used EVERYTHING whether I liked it or not, and I didn't have to buy anything for about 18 months :rotfl: I was sooo glad when they were all gone though

DH bought me a Kindle for Christmas :happyhear Love it! I've got to make sure I clear my piles of books though before I buy too much for it!

Hahaha oh DNMS you gave me a giggle then...the wily Escy:rotfl::rotfl:

I've read through the 'no toiletries in Jan' thread over on the health and beauty board and am going to give it a go I think:o I got sooo much for Christmas, loads of Soap and Glory yummy stuff, then bought more in the sales:o:o I can't face listing everthing I have, but I know I have enough shower gel to last us well into 2012. I kept getting bargains from the Body Shop last year - I've never really loved smellies until this last year, probably as I had eczema and sensitive skin for so long. Taking steroids for the Crohn's helped that though:p

Anyway, I'm waffling on your diary...must shove off:rotfl:

:rotfl:Definitely wasn't this morning! Didn't get up til midday!! Making the most of my last day of hols

Love the waffle milly so fear not! Oh the dreaded toiletries... I am going into town in a min and I have Lush coupons and I know they have a sale on...eek!

jwil :jabout the kindle! I have started sorting out collections on mine - only have 4 in the Already Read collection and 6 in the To Read collection. Sounds pitiful compared to yours! I can't believe how much you read! I usually read only about 1 a month. Reading a free kindle book just now - The Golden Acorn - think it's a kid's book but quite enjoying it.
