No Buying Toiletries in March Challenge

sofababe

I'm in again. The only thing I'm planning to buy is hair dye, towards the end of the month unless I see a great offer before then. And I'm still humming and hah-ing about the FCUK Pure wash & lotion as I'm not sure what's going on with this stuff. Discontinued I thought, then B**ts start stocking the big bottles of both :undecided
My stash seems to be bigger than it was on Feb 1st:o
I do plan to take a pic sometime this month tho, with a combination of horror and pride

I'm in again this month. Don't need to buy anything at all and don't seem to get tempted anymore. I think the main issue will be if DH decides that he wants another shower gel because shopping from the stash is alien to him. TBF, although it's in his drawer under the bed, he never looks in there and it is a bit girlyfied too so he wouldn't pick out the right sort of things I wouldn't have thought. I do have a big bottle of aloe wash gel that he can use next though after he's UU the 2 bottles of shower gel he's got on the go (2 because I'd kill him if he used my No7 blissful body wash on DD at bathtime and he doesn't want to use his manly FCUK one on her either so he's got an OS lavender jobby for her).
Night all

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:

Welcome to the board Kelly

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

I teach Adult Numeracy, which, thankfully for me, is a lot easier than pure maths. In 2009 I applied for a job as a literacy tutor - for which I was qualified - and got offered a job as a Maths tutor on condition that I took a University level specialist teachers' certificate.
The Maths was a killer, but I did it and I love the job. The teaching bit is easy, that's a generic skill.

Hiya Kelly :hello:

LOL your stash in tiny compared to some <no names mentioned >

LOL yeah, my b/f saw my list last night & thought I had loads I showed him a few other posts in the last thread & he changed his tune ha!

Oh thank you for all the welcomes!

I have one UU already Listerine mouthwash (ok it only had one mouthful left but I'm claiming it!lol) WIBA -yep it's my HG got another out in my stash.

Hi, I'm in again too, though I will be buying some things :A

Am back in London this weekend, so will use a BS voucher, hopefully get a certain magazine (to be fair, I do read it anyway, but as 2 of the products are HGs for me, and I'm almost out of them, I may have to buy several copies, sorry ), and a quick trip to Boots, as I do really need hair dye, and it's more than double the price in Switzerland, so I may as well stock up while I have room in my suitcase!

I'll also be buying large quantities of Cadbury's dairy milk, but that's a whole other thread :rotfl:

As for useups, erm none on the horizon...

I've got really lax with my beauty routine over the past couple of weeks, so I'm hoping this shiny new thread and month will kick me back into a decent routine. And I *will* do my nails tonight!

(someone please poke me with a (really long!) stick if I don't? )

Slightly off topic - but I've realised my upper arms are SMOOTH :T - no rough or goosebumply bits - must be all the lotions, etc I keep slathering on

Before I started this challenge, I'd just put lotion or dry oil spray on when I remembered or could be bothered (about once a week!). Whereas now I use them more often, because I know I've got several so need to use them.

Just need just need some warm weather now so I can change from long-sleeved tops.

Reminds me - I need to do mine too. Been walking round for the past two days with a pinky clear varnish on just my thumbs (theyve got ridges so need extra coats on to look smooth).

I'll be back to check on you later fixx

Loving what you do is so important. And it's great to be able to help people :beer:
