Hey guys,
Just a quick post to say I've been trying to catch up, loads I want to respond to and I'll be back :cool:
Nothing exciting my side, just a nightmare night (I could hear the *bleeping* mouse :eek: that I still haven't caught amongst stalker phone call, muscle cramp followed by pulled muscle. Just got in from work, going to shower I think, eat something then move online.
Eta detail re stalker type call, the weirdo who calls I thought I'd answer and tell them where to go & find out who it is. So I said who is this, what's your problem, as a reply I got I love your body, your body's so sexy (!!) I'm like what on earth. Had an accent too. Plus it was 5 am! I said wrong number mate and hung up. And called again and again which I ignored. Detail on rest to follow!No buying unnecessary toiletries/makeup in May: Unnecessary spend £17.60
May INs: 14 UUs/OUTs/GAs: 11
2012 INs: 77 UUs/OUTs/GAs: 91
Savings from UUs: £60.50

Remind me what flake away is?
I don't get the whole S&G hype. The products are nice enough (some of them) but I don't like the smell and that hair conditioner is like washing your hair in custard
Is this the Glad Hair Day? I've just bought some of this today! Budge up on the naughty step. I have no justification for what I have bought today! As mentioned recently our Department has moved and at lunch time I wandered into Boots. Was very virtuous, looked at the S&G conditioner and reasoned that we don't need any (working way through huge bottle of Tresomme, a bottle of Ojon (kid myself that I'm using this as a treatment) and have a TBS one in stash also) and walked out. To kill time on the way back to work though I cut back through Boots and found a Clearance shelf with GoodWorks products on it. Never heard of these before but saw a body scrub (containing Eucalyptus, peppermint and pachouli) and an oil. Both were reduced to half price (so down from £11.00 and £10.00 to £5.50 and £4.99 each. So I picked up the conditioner as well as there was a third off (don't ask me why!!). Anyway when I got to the till there were further reductions on the clearance items and I got each for about £3.66.
My Avon order has also arrived tonight (the two brushes that I ordered were on special though and I did need them - if you consider needing to carry a spare a real need that is) - it's pretty comfy here on the step.Back for the No Buying Toiletries challenge. I pledge to only buy when I run out of a product that is not already in my stash no matter what wonderful emails land in in my Inbox or threads I read on MSE re: glitches!

Completely off topic (though I am sitting in the bath if that makes it on topic!) he's been texting me tonight and said he's in watching telly - now he could just be tired - but does anyone else think it's odd that loves newly reconciled young dream couple aren't together on only their 3rd night back on????Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup0

Evening my luscious lovelies! :wave:
I'm sorry to read that so many of you are having troubles at the mo. Big squidgy hugs all round.:heartpuls
Kaz I am in awe of your capsule wardrobe. I rotate my clothes seasonally because there are too many of them to fit in one normal wardrobe....! :eek:
I have an "In" to report my dears. I bought a magazine today for something to flick through in the park at lunchtime. I don't buy maggies very often cos they are often a big fat advert filled disappointment, but I've run out of books that aren't about dieting so I got the urge.
Anyhoo.... it came with a free cleanser, so Yay! :dance:Not everything that can be counted counts, and not everything that counts can be counted. Einstein0 -
Is this the Glad Hair Day?
I found Glad Hair Day ok, it's just Hair Supply I didn't like. It was like aftershave scented custard - Which I told S&G too:rotfl: But the glad hair day shampoo and conditioners are ok:TLush do a Vanilla oneand a bizarre black one too :eek:
:rotfl::rotfl: at the Flake Away - wish they'd discontinued this instead of the Clean Mary :mad:
Even for vanilla-addict me I think vanilla toothpaste may be a bit much:rotfl: Vanilla breath...mmmm:rotfl: What does the black one taste of? Wouldn't it leave your teeth a funny grey colour?:rotfl:Completely off topic (though I am sitting in the bath if that makes it on topic!) he's been texting me tonight and said he's in watching telly - now he could just be tired - but does anyone else think it's odd that loves newly reconciled young dream couple aren't together on only their 3rd night back on????

Ok, here's an interesting proposition;
If xoxo opens a DIY nail bar, can she buy lots of NV without being penalised for buying toiletries? As its for buisness....?
Also, I had a NPI that I forgot to mention... a BS Shea Butter Body Scrub... Mmmm mmm mmm
