I've had a bad day.
Bought Sally Hansen hard as nails as I have a vertical split that won't go away. Let's hope this stuff works.
My friend at work brought in her latest Avon catalogue. Bought purple nail varnish and foundation.:(:(

Welcome all newbies!
Just wanted to say thanks for the support and I am on day 5 of No Smoking! As a little treat to myself I have ordered a gel eyeliner from Avon as it got rave reviews (someone may tell me different?!)
I am glad the S & G value set at Boots went out of stock as I kept looking at it but the newsletter says its back on Monday!!! I must avoid!0 -
Evening all - have read through all of the thread and I'd love to join in too please:j
I was a bit naughty and ordered 3 perfume oils from a site recommended on this forum somewhere - 'smell-a-likes' with brilliant reviews and at 3 for £6 I couldn't resist.
But, having counted my perfume stash I probably shouldn't have:o 21 bottles, some almost finished, a few quite new...oops. But I love perfume, it's my weakness.
Haven't got time to list everything, though I do know I have enough shower gel for the year, thanks to lots of Body SHop bargains last year, S+G sets for Xmas and more in the airing cupboard that my mum keeps giving. I do have 2 daughters (13 and 11) so we can work our way through them:D
Am quite excited as I can report my first UU in a couple of days....I won't open another body butter til I have used this one and reported it gone!!
I will need shampoo and conditioner this year, but not for a few months yet...same with deodorant. Make up, not for a few months:)I really need to sort out a new signature!0 -
I have started gathering my stash! its big!
ive even shocked my hubby who thought i just brought new stuff when i run out....erm nope! lol!
So i shall report back later with some rough details.
For now though, i have my first UU - John Freida miracle cure hair mask - WIBA defo! love this stuff but is pricey. has lasted me about 3-4 months.
xxCurrent Mortgage balance - £363,785.35/£420,000 (highest point Oct 2022).0 -
I've deleted my eBay Watch list, I haven't watched any QVC, I did my supermarket shopping online and might start doing my prescriptions in the very unexciting local chemist rather than the big "full of temptations to look at while you wait" Boots. :eek:
Good idea Jacks plus you support a local independent one rather than Boots which seem to be taking over everywhere. And every time I've used them for prescriptions, even simple ones, they b*ggar things up. Our local independent one is now like a mate :beer:Declutter 300 things in December challenge, 9/300. Clear the living room. Re-organize storage

I got the brown gel eyeliner a couple of months ago and think its my favourite eye pencil, it doesn't drag and lasts all day. But now I will probably never use up any of the old ones I have!!
Well done on giving up smoking, good luck!No more buying unnecessary toiletries 2018
35 UU / 13 unnecessary ins0 -

I got Dashing Lassies as a present too! it's lovely.
Think I may have to include cosmetics into my ban on buying toiletries because I must have at least 20 eyeshadow palettes (mac/bobbi brown/urban decay)
And probably twice as many again lipsticks,
Which is crazy because i only wear neutral eyes and lips for work anyway?!?
I can't believe how fast this board has been moving. It's taken me ages to catch up.
No more UU to report:( will have a nice pampering session this evening so hopefully!Saving all my pennies0
