            I have a £5 off voucher that I am trying not to use - I don't want my stash growing I might get a mascara (I can only use it for No 7 or Ruby and Millie) because that is the only make up item I have only one of.

 I have two of these. Thinking of giving one to my daughter for her to buy a friend's birthday present. How do these work if you want to buy something priced at nearly £5.00?Back for the No Buying Toiletries challenge. I pledge to only buy when I run out of a product that is not already in my stash no matter what wonderful emails land in in my Inbox or threads I read on MSE re: glitches!

            1 in to report - a regis straightening protection spray that i figure it will reduce the amount of other crap i buy for my hair that never gets used as i rarely use a protection spray as the one i have i dont like so that will get thrown out0

            Ooh didnt expect the site to be back - yay.
 use ups:
 Radox smoothies shower gel, coconut - wiba yes. lovely smell, doesnt irritate my skin costs about £2.50 but you can often get it on offer. I have a couple more in stash but not much.
 Nearly used ups:
 Dermologica gentle cream exfoliant - wiba yes. The make up artist lisa eldridge recommended it and I can see why. Its a lovely way of freshening up the face - you leave it on like a mask. Only sad thing is that I dont often see offers for Dermologica products in the high street.
 L'Oreal collagen day cream - wiba yes. This is one of the only creams that sorts my dry back out. Will try to buy the next one when things are on offer.
 I've realised my stash of body shop seaweed moisturiser is going down. But I have a nivea oil free moisturiser in stock to try. I'll update my list. And put another quid in the tin for the use up.

            Almost UU a body spray and a small moisturiser sample so hopefully they will go this weekend. I really like this idea of putting money away whenever you have a UU, think I'll be doing the same from now on!ISA savings: £25,139 Other Savings: £1750 (tied up in bond)0

            UU another Decleor sample feeding mask as my face and neck have been quite dry....it was amazing how quickly it soaked into my forehead! This one I may try and get if I can get VERY cheap as my skin feels great.

            Just popped into Boots to collect my orders (hangs head in shame) and when I got home I found that the shampoo had leaked prior to packing and was about 75ml short out of a 250ml bottle , I phoned them and had the full price refunded in points even though it was on offer so can't complain about that :beer: , I phoned them and had the full price refunded in points even though it was on offer so can't complain about that :beer:
 Also I had a look at the sale aisle which is now shoved all up one end to make way for sun creams etc that the SA was putting out. Still seemed to be a fair bit left but lots of the same stuff, Gok, Fearne, Strictly and Ted Baker sets. I didn't fancy any of it, its still overpriced at 50% off.
 2 INs- Natural Collection blusher and NC lippy £1.99 each. I listed the other stuff I picked up in my stash list the other day as I knew it was coming. Oh, ummm, and I bought 2 S&G bits on Ebay last night too, Flake Away and Clean Mary 
 I'm off to the naughty step.0
