Unfortunately I need to extend my stay on the naughty step

I bought the Sanctuary offer as advertised in today's mailing. Well with £5.00 off for registering and 7.07% through tcb it was too good an opportunity to miss

what's the Sanctuary offer?

Martin tells us about it in his weekly e-mail, four items for £20.00 but if you register with Wahanada or something they send you a code for £5.00 off and then you get just over a pound off by going through tcb, but you didn't hear that from me

Hello Gigglepig and Scrappie, welcome!

Non Bought Ins (the ins that don't count!)

Went and spent my £3 Superdrug own brand voucher after work. It was an interesting exercise. My own, self imposed challenge rules meant that I couldn't spend any cash on toiletries, so what I bought had to be under £3 and topped up with a non toiletry Superdrug own brand purchase.

That ruled out the lovely body butters.

I wanted an intensive hair conditioner treatment for brunettes - and I got one for the laughable price of 69p. Colour Radiance Intensive Conditioner 150 ml . It's labelled as being a new product.
Alongside it was the ordinary, non intensive Colour Radiance Conditioner for brunettes, on clearance at 75p for 250 ml.:money: I wanted a brunette 'ordinary' conditioner, stroke of luck.

I then hit a snag - what else? It had to be Superdrug own label but I don't really need anything...

Then I spotted a body polish. I don't have one and my son uses these, if I should happen not to like it.

It was Spa Exfoliating Body Polish, on clearance at 49p.

With time running out and having to get home I spent £1.84 on own brand kitchen spray and painkillers, making a total of £3.77.

I'm proud that I managed to resist getting shampoo I don't need, ditto body sprays or lotions.
I'm so chuffed with my 'buys'.:j

Well done And - excellent little haul for zero hard cash. :T

Charlie and Minerva GOOD LUCK for interviews and applications - fingers crossed for you both!

Ilorna that reaction sounds really :eek: - hope you're feeling a bit more comfortable by now.

About to head for bed now so will put my shower off until the morning I think when I can spend longer in there on the basis that it's on cheap rate 'leccy! I intend to spend a little time in the morning scooping the dregs of my two lipbalms into a little BS sample pot as both tubes are now next to impossible to squeeze.

LOL - I've just taken my crackle nails off

Was looking through the Avon book earlier tonight, being tempted and trying to convince myself I dont need things. Will be putting an order in as my daughter has asked for a paddle brush and that's on special offer, but hopefully not buying tooooo much for myself

Kaz that sounds like the perfect way to spend an evening - shame that DH is coming home later otherwise you could change the bed sheets and have them all to yourself. I personally find the the 'clean sheet' experience is totally wasted on men!!!!

Weirdly, my OH really appreciates it! IS he odd?!! :rotfl:He gets into bed and is such a woman about it going "ahhhh, clean sheets, ahh lovely, don't come to bed too soon vics!" :eek: Strange man! :rotfl:
