    Morning girls, happy St David's Day! :beer:
    Hello to all the established clique :D and hellow and welcome to all the newbies :hello:
    One in to report: Bodyshop Honey & Oat 3 in 1 mask. There was an offer on this but I resisted and only bought one where I would have normally bought 3 without trying it first. Will test this after I've finisged my exfoliator.

    That's it, see ya in March!
    that face mask is gorgeous!! i bought it on holiday with me to apply to my sun-tanned (burnt) face :o and it was so soothing and once you get over the fact it looks like your putting porridge on your face :rotfl: its to die for!

    I had some UU over the weekend (my anticipated ones from one of my last posts) and I have a feeling I had some more but cant remember - sorry!

    I did venture into Poundland yesterday and picked up a moisturiser which is glorious (smells a bit like Astral/Dove IYKWIM - very clean and fresh smell) so am very happy about that.

    I'm taking a week out this week, naughty I know but will hit the agencies with a vengence next week. For those that asked if I got a good sending off thing, well I'm actually shocked by admitting no - they just kind of said good luck and if we have any problems finding anything relating to your jobs/files can we give you a call? I'm still a bit shocked by it, especially as I know them!! Oh well can't dwell on that, my friends took me out for a good old fashioned night out instead, so was in the company of people who appreciate me!!

    I'm going to take a stroll round a market now with my grandmother - get her out and about so hopefully I don't find too much to cart home with me :rotfl:

    have a good day ladies xxx

    Morning ladies

    I regularly posted on last years challenge, since xmas have totally gone off the rails and now need to focus & stop spending due to circumstances. No more QVC, TSV's or the bargain prices they continually spout on about.

    I will join this challenge & stay focussed!

    I have recently changed jobs and subsequently have halved my income, have loads in my stash so really no need to purchse anything.

    I will need to purchase this month a hair dye and deodrant, do not have any spare ones.

    Off to work now, no temptation there.

    Hoping my willpower holds - I'm on the No Cash Spends again this coming month. For those of us who are doing it, we have the Clairol Foam Party on the 19th to look forward to.
    I did not get accepted:(:(:(

    feeling all virtuous after posting stuff to give and make up as well as having space in my stash cupboard:) have not told DH just how much I sent off as it would confirm what he thought i.e I spend far too much on tolietries:rotfl:

    he did see the wisdom of my clinique buy at weekend when I showed him the goodie bag and said weel it only cost me £8 with vouchers!

    STILL no reply from halfprice am getting so annoyed at their lack of customer service:mad:

    1 more day before the hols:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j

    The Clairol foam party is making me feel :o because of what I spent at the hairdressers in February getting the old colour stripped from my hair. The salon that did it is run by ex Toni+Guy people so it cost a lot but for me it's worth it because my hair is very long and it looks lovely now. But I still feel a bit :wall:over the money because I just know everyone will be delighted with the Clairol foam and that's FREE:rotfl:

    So to make up for what I spent I'll have to be good in March:A

    @fixx I'm surprised that cosmetics are so expensive in Switzerland, mental note I can't afford to go there, and I :heart2: Cadbury Dairy milk too. If you run out send me a PM and I'll send you some, Ireland is the home of Cadburys after all!

    3 uus for 2day
    mitchum 48h deoderant `150ml-would buy again depending on price,not so fussy with deoderants,i like them to be smell free and long as they leave no white marks
    in a blink eyeliner -avon- a grey/silver colour not sure of the name because ive sharpened it that much. i do like this and maybe in a couple of years time when i am allowed to buy again avon will either still do it or have something similer.
    spell eyeshadow in the shade "do i dazzle you" a lovely pretty pink colour which i have a backup off-this goes lovely with the avon eyeliner :p
    nothing else to report i have about 4 spluttering body lotions,they will prob all go around the same time as i rotate depending on what perfume i am wearing. tried to login to halfpriceperfumes (out of interest you understand NOT TO BUY ) my account wont even let me do that and funnily enough i had loads of points....oh well

    Hello,

    I'm IN for March, if you'll have me back after quite a few naughties in Feb. Still, it was a massive improvement on January (I blame the sales and complete lack of self control...)

    Since joining up I do use more of my stash and am appreciating it a lot more. My skin, face and hands have never been so soft.

    :T

    Thanks for the people who have reported they have stayed strong in Feb - please stay with us, we need your good influence. :)

    Glamour mag looks like being the next test for a lot of people on here ....

    PS Am in for the nail painting party tonight although it may be clear nail varnish as my nails are rubbish, but that still counts, right!
    Less stuff, more life, love, laughter and cats!
    Even if I'm on the shopping threads, it doesn't mean I'm buying! Sometimes it's good to just look and then hit the CLOSE button!

    Same here - need to be white-mark free! I've only recently tried the Mitchum and have to admit I'm impressed! :)

    The In-a-blink eyeliners are a great idea - theyre the ones with powder at one end arent they? I think its one of the avon items that disappears for a while then comes back.
