    Part of the Furniture Combo Breaker I've been Money Tipped!
    I have failed already this month! Yesterday got 6 packets of the Tesco 21p wipes but they are not all for me my daughters will use them to.

    I will be also buying a couple of copies of a certain mag LOL.

    Am also resisting the latest S&G bargainanous bundles on the B**ts website! Temptation is an evil thing! LOL

    I'm back in for this month too please!

    I have go a couple of UU to report

    A Next shower gel (cannot remember it's name) WIBA? Yes I would, although won't be needing any for a couple of years minimum. I know some people aren't too keen on Next's toiletries but this shower gel smelt lovely and did the job so cannot complain!

    A palmolive conditioner. WIBA? Yes, no complaints here.

    My brother left a shower gel with me when he was visiting with about one quarter left in it - it is annoying me now so that is next in the to UU list! Who cares if I smell like a boy for a little while :p

    Hope you are all having a great day!

    Wow, some impressive stash lists posted in the last few days.

    Nice nail pics, I don't paint my nails that much, they look lovely for about half a day then the polish seems to wear away at the tips, am I doing something wrong??

    Couple of uu for me already, mitchum powder fresh deoderant spray, wiba? yes already have another couple. No7 bath soak, travel size, wnba wasn't that impressed with the bubble staying power.
    Mine tends to chip within a couple of days because of work. Some ppl suggest painting a bit over the tip, IYKWIM, to prevent that. Never worked for me though. I either remove or live with it chipped :o

    Hi everyone,

    Can I join in too? I finally feel I'm ready to take the plunge. I now realise I have a large stash of toiletries needing used up, so I'm going to sort it out and pop the list on here later ~ as seeing it in b&w should deter me from adding to it even more. :o

    Welcome to the board horse76! Seeing it in b&w is frightening, but it works :s

    Sarah - lovely to hear from you - do you have any nice smelling aromatherapy stylely products in your stash? They may help you out a little whilst your body gets used to the meds.

    I used up the last of my boots aromatherapy stuff just after xmas - but you have reminded me that OH has some massage oil tucked away that smells divine - I wonder if I can persuade him to work out some of my stress knots? :D

    Damn Boots - first thing I saw when I checked my email was that offer - GGrrrrr - I can't afford it though so tough!! :p At least with the BS offer I didn't notice it until it was too late - had a wierd disappointment-mixed-with-happiness feeling when I realised I'd missed it :rotfl:

    One UU to report - No7 P&P Night Cream gave up last night - those little GWP pots are deceptive - you think there's more in there than there is: WIBA? Yeah - didn't set the world alight but it did the job and wasn't greasy so maybe :D

    I'm totally out of Night Cream now - will use my travel pot for tonight then pop somewhere and pick something up tomorrow. If Boots finally have my Clean Mary in stock I may take advantage of the 3for2 but if I can't find anything else I NEED I will pick up a cheapy from £land to keep me going :p

    :cool:

    I'm in again too please - still far too much stuff and every drawer and cupboard I open seems to unearth even more stuff :eek::eek:

    I've no UU's so far but several things spluttering so hopefully will have a good month.

    I have one in already though :eek::eek: I bought a Sure deo spray courtesy of Mr B for 75p with a voucher from the ACM. so thats 1 in use and 3 in my stash :o:o:o Oops
    :naughty: Save money on toiletries: no new/duplicate items until I've used up all existing supplies

    I'm back in again this month but I've already failed.
    Debenhams 10% off and 750 points on a £40 spend tempted me so 2 INs for me
    Bella Bamba by benefit & That gal primer.
    On the way back I passed a tk maxx and the beauty section had NYX items, I managed to put the nailpolishes back but spend £9.99 on a makeup palette. So thats just over £50 spent already.
    I still want the glamour mags aswell.
    I'll go hide on the naughty step.
    Love can tame the wildest
  • Hi, hope everyone is having a good day.

    Now I have a confession - I have just purchased the glamour magazine at my local shop with the moisture surge, which I think is allowed as would have bought the magazine anyway BUT and this is my query - if I send dh to buy the other three products that I want and then give the magazines and free gifts to me does this count as buying in?!!

    Had a little browse around town this afternoon and managed to get all 4 Glamour mags I wanted - so 4 IN's - the lip gloss (which is in the colour I use anyway) the Superbalm (not my usual colour but perfectly wearable) the 7 day Scrub (my mini of this has just about run out) and the moisture surge (which is a bit of an essential for me when I'm in the cold winds of the Hebrides, which I will be again in just a few more weeks - hurrah! *Squeaks a little in excitement!* :j They are sitting on the table now looking.....cute! :D Very pleased I got the ones I wanted, and not in the least tempted by any of the others!

    In case she's not about later - HAPPY HOLIBOBS ROSEMARY!
