No Buying Toiletries in April Challenge

MarzipanFish

I forget who said what but...

Pretty dress. Especially like the cute bow on the back. I recently just missed out on the fat face £20 off too...grr! I bought a purple dress and a cardigan and they're both really comfy. Some of the dresses are a bit low cut on me but the material is nice and soft. If my new purchases wash well then I'll go back there for more stuff when budgets allow . Doing my best to only buy things I really really like atm and limiting primark trips because I'm another with way too many clothes.

I ordered free tights on the offer and they turned up last week


'superultrapaddedbringyourboobsuptoyourchin' LOL!
I might have a couple of these

I hate how stuff shuts in uni holidays. I can't get into any of the computer rooms with free printing

Oh and Ive been good using my face masks & moisturisers... but I bought nailvarnishes from accessorize (purpley grey) & primark (cornflower blue). And there's more I want in the accessorize collection and even more in topshop who I didn't notice did nailvarnish until SOMEONE told me in here *points finger*

Sarah... tut tut getting the lady the sack! :rotfl:

Kaz... OMG! I'm tempted to go do mine now but i'd be there forever I've just remembered I have a few bags full in the garage too I wonder if they've survived the winter. I'll go investigate later. And do a HUGE sort out. I'm determined to... :rotfl:

Marzipan.. all my bras are like that Otherwise I look like a 9yr old :rotfl:


Still no toiletries news to report...ummm.... :rotfl: I used up some toothpaste.. does that count? Not including it in my list though because I don't have an addiction to that.. yet :cool:

Go for it xoxo, I did mine years ago and the feeling of freedom is fabulous. I actually did BEFORE Gok Wan was on about it so I must be really ultra clever . This way, I can instantly see what I own and what goes together. I know what I can buy and what I can't because I can instantly think of what I already have in my wardrobe. I would like another cardigan but it needs to be white or cream. That's only because the lovely one I had from Tescos for £10 went missing a while back. The white or cream will be suitable for summer too. In fact, for fun, I might add up how much my clothes have cost me.
I bet that it's not a great deal despite being good/ brand names mainly.:D

They have a variety of flavours in poundland/99p shop sometimes!
Different fruity ones (often lemon or strawberry) keep popping up in the ones near me but I find the idea a bit too weird to try.


I love the wardrobe pics. I think I'm just a bit nosy
Wish my wardrobe was that streamlined but I find it hard to get rid of 'OK' clothes.

I reeeeally wish I could get my clothes so under control :rotfl: And my shoes :rotfl:

Ewww fruity toothpaste?!! _pale_ :rotfl:

Tada, it was drumroll please (he he!)...............
about £400. Certainly no more. I do have a waterproof coat which was £28 (and needs replacing) and a wool blend long coat which was £10 too. So that's about £430.
Not bad at all I don't think as it includes all clothing including undies and tights. With these, I will replace as they wear out but not before and I don't go shopping without wanting something in particular. I actually don't enjoy clothes shopping.
All of my clothes are French Connection, Monsoon, Boden, Lee cooper (1pr jeans) Matalan (do some good quality stuff, you just have to pick it out right), Marks and Spencers for undies, errrrrrm and Next. Oh and Noah Noah. I just shop around and get stuff from the sales and ebay too. But I feel no guilt in buying something I really love which will last me well for £45
I suppose it's the same as PRC philosophy for toiletries. Each and every day is special so I like to dress in clothes that make me feel and look good.

i've just seen ths post - youre crazy. i couldnt do it!

xoxo - when you have bagged up your clothes for the bin the charity shop will take them from you and they sell them for rag or you can weigh them in yourself for rag and get paid. I assume this is a nationwide thing, we def do it up here but then we do have a lot of rag tearers around here.

Kaz - you have got the whole clothes thing so right, I would love to have my wardrobe looking like that. My trouble is fluctuating weight so I have sizes from 14-18 and I don't get rid of them. I love Boden too and my all time fave is Joules, the most gorgeous polo tops and sweatshirts and they last and last.

Feeling fed up today, my tonsilitis has flared up again, third time this year, went straight to docs and got 10 days of antibiotics, she took a throat swab and says as soon as I am better I need to see the nurse for a fasting blood test and get checked for thyroid problems and diabetes to try and find out if something else is going on.

Whilst I was there I asked about my PMS which has been getting worse, always suffered but the moods are shocking now. She said they could give me prozac:eek: I said no can I take the pill. She gave me three months worth but said i need to lose weight and have to go back in 3 months for more if they are working but will need to be weighed again. Came home feeling really rubbish but determined.

Only thing cheering me up today is the thought of Kat getting her baby back on Eastenders tonight.

That's a good idea! I'll give them to the charity shop:D I hope your tonsillitis clears up soon. I get it a few times a year and it's awful. You have my sympathy :grouphug:


Wellll...... EHs breakfast scrub is safe:rotfl:

I went to Boots to collect an order (that was ordered wayyyy before EHs promise:p ) and they were reducing a load of nail varnishes to clearance (£1 each:cool: ) so I got a few (7 I think). Oops. The woman that works in there said to me "You're always buying NV, do you own a nail bar or something?":rotfl::rotfl::o

The parcel was 2 x 3 day straight (2 for £7.50:money: ) hope it works. I have keratin on my hair anyway so i'm hoping the keratin spray will give it that extra kick to stay blummin straight!

And then I collected a parcel from the post depot thing and it was from S&G. I emailed them about Hair Supply and they said they would send me something else to make up for the disappointment. They sent me Flake Away. I think I may cry:rotfl:
