    Have given up white bread and Pizza for lent. not bought any un-neccessary toiletries.

    oops

    Well, I bought some shampoo/conditioner last week because I was running out, it was only when I looked at my toiletries for something else that I realised I had one already, duh! No wonder my supplies are not going down.

    Ok confession time.....had a splurge on Liz Earle to take advantage of the free P+P now I know I can use these things with no allergic reactions to the ingredients. Other companies are getting back to me with their ingredients to see if I can use what I have so these items are on hold.

    Bought 2 large C+P, pack of toner, superskin moisturiser and pack of line serum for my eyes.

    Quite a splurge but needed as can't use a lot of what I have for my eczema and need a very simple routine with no aggravating ingredients.

    I won't be buying anything else apart from a shampoo as I'm nearly out of this and there's only a couple I can use and I'll pick this up next week when I'm in town

    3. replaced my face powder and got a free nail varnish......
    4. bought eyeshadow for 2 pounds, that was pure weakness and being in a crap mood!

    How are we all then as we come to the end of March and we approach the final month of the challenge?

    I used up a hydra floral moisturiser today and £1 deposited into the treats tin as a result.

    Managed not to buy anything too this week - still will need some shampoo at some point but I'm using a solid bar from lush which is pretty good then I will stock up on a 1L bottle of PK conditioner which suits my hair completely when I've used up the rest of my conditioners. Nearly finished the Liz Earle one then onto a toni and guy on I've had for ages
