No Buying Toiletries in March Challenge

Hi Kelly!
Am planning on spending NOTHING this month - and this also applies to other luxuries too (except maybe 1 Glamour mag - yes ONE!) as I have a HUUUUGE dentist bill to pay (will be worth it though). Am hoping that I might be brave enough to cut down smoking too. I'm gonna be no fun this month:cool:
I want a perfect body, I want a perfect soul, I want you to notice when I'm not around[/SIZE][/FONT][/B]0 -
Welcome Kelly, good luck with the challenge. I'm in again this month. I should see the end of my Boots Royal Jelly Creme Bath and bodywash this month. It feels nice but I'm not too keen on the smell.0

I have a ceremony to attend for my maths teaching certificate on the Monday 21st so I think I will actually do it on that day.
Do you teach maths? Not asking in a shock way, I'm not the hugest fan of it, but it was the major of my degree :eek:

I think my 'insomnia' has caught up with meWhy never at the weekend when I can sleep :mad:

Thanks Sunshineyday.
I spent £6.38 in January and approx. £11 in February. This doesn't include the £12 BS voucher as I won't count this until the month that I go and get my goodies - I will try and hold out until the Easter holidays as I will have a few days off and will be bound to spend a day of it shopping. This will also give me some time to use up a few more things in the meantime. I haven't spent a huge amount of money but I am finding it useful to keep a note of expenditure in order to keep it in check. I know that I will buy Glamour this month but the only two items that are tempting me are the mascara and the moisturiser.
I have started to sort out some items to send for the refuge in the next couple of days and will let you know what I've sent.0 -
