  • Still going well with the hohusehold products (did buy a box of washing powder *slightly* earlier than needed but it was half price).... not doing too badly on toiletries either although I did buy two moisturisers when I already have three to use up :o

  • Just realised I haven't ordered anything from QVC since end Dec - doing well!

    Used up a hair conditioner out of a hair dye kit today and also realised I'm getting to the end of a cleanse and polish. Now getting a bit panicky as only have 1 left to use and this is about the only thing that suits my skin at the moment with all the eczema problems on my face for the last 18mths. Now do I risk the cleansers I have stored up? Elemis and Decleor or do I stick with Liz Earle C+P? Hmm not sure, thought if I used something I know suits me then I might be able to try the other cleansers again

    Coming up to the first 31 days in next week! Keep on going everyone!

    Well I've had a bad week. Bought chips from the chip shop on Thursday to start! Though it had been parents evening and I didn't get home from school so was shattered. And today I bought toothpaste and mouthwash as they were on offer though I now suspect I already have some under the sink from last time they were on offer. Oops. :o
    Wandered away from the MSE track for a while but am back and on a mission! Debts cleared nearly £18k. Now to start saving ...
  • I have completely failed at this.......I cut up one credit card and left the other for emergencies....and used it way too much. Its now under my laptop so I dont spend it....and when I get the urge to spend on it I think of all ther things I want to do with the money I'm having to use to pay it off......
