Oh dear you all put me to shame!

Today I have spent £54 in mothercare on 2 pairs of pjs and slippers for christmas - pj's were buy one pair get one half price. I know i can get these cheeper but we always get everyone nice pj's forchristmas eve. Also got pumps for dd3 - she starts preschool this week and a couple of stocking fillers.

Then went to Halfords to get DS's bike. They have an offer on. £20 of accesories with any bike bought before 20th Nov - ended up also buying DD3 a bike - Total £140 - but MIL wants to buy bikes so will get this back.

Then went to Boots had a £5 off No7 voucher - ended up spending £17 on new foundation and moisturiser but got the £5 off anda freegift bag which has quite alot of good stuff in.

My mum bought DD1 Clinique foundation today for her B'day she got a gift too but swapped her lip gloss with my freebe cos the coulour of min suited her better. It's bad news when your daughter gets better makeup than you!

cheers moozie, shucks they should put a blushing smiley on here!

i guess it helps just having me in the house, i was told in the gym two weeks ago i don't eat enough i'd been losing lean tissue (muscle) instead of fat! :eek:

the washing tablets should last a while. it had 24 packs in, two tabs in each, i use 1 tab per wash and two washes per week so it should last me six months...never works like that tho! i'm scared to try anything cheaper (i use fairy) as i have sensitive skin, exzema etc and can take a bad reaction to things. i once took a scary rash after using a hand wash, was all over my face and everything :eek:

I know just how you feel lynseyjayne as I have sensitive skin too. Pre LBM I used Decleor as my skin was very happy and healthy with it, but lately I've switched to Neutrogena cleansing wipes and they're pretty good I must say, and a heck of a lot cheaper of course. I *hate* disposable things though so made myself feel a bit better after cleansing this morning by using the wipe folded round to dispatch a cobweb on the wall! I might get a fair bit more dusting done this way!

Be careful sweetie, your health is the most important thing after all. Make sure you eat well and enough, can't have you wasting away now, can we? :grouphug:

I think I was surprised about the tablets because since I saw the errors in my ways, I've been shopping at costco for washing stuff and they work out a lot cheaper than supermarkets or wilkos. I wouldn't suggest you change them either though, skin sensitivites must be respected, even when we are DFWs
