No Buying Toiletries in April Challenge

Kaz2904

I had an early (for me) night last night. Boy was I pooped! A nice bath saw the end of the alberto balsam tea tree shampoo. I have now removed the last shampoo from the stash. So I will need to buy some more in May I think.
If anyone knows where they have alberto balsam on offer or any shampoo actually, please give me the heads up. I'm hoping for it to be 4 for £3 or that sort of price. It has to do the whole family and I've very fine hair. The kids have got kind of wiry hair IYKWIM.
We used lots of the No7 body butter last night buttering up the sunburned bits. Luckily none of us are sore today and I've sent DS off to his friends house with a sun cream and DD is outside all creamed up. She's not liking the sun cream but I'd rather that than burns again.
I'm wearing my fat face dress again and sporting lovely pink arms sticking out from beneath the sleeves
I'm just so happy that the weather is so lovely at the moment, it makes life so much easier when they can just go outside and play with their friends.

Lol, I went to bed at 5AM =[ was attempting to write this stupid report, but ended up just drooping instead!!

My local poundland-type-shops sell Ablerto Balsam, not sure if they do any deals though so its like £1 per item. I love the strawberry one =p mmmmm

My local bodycare sell this stuff 99p a bottle - not on offer but still fairly cheap...used to love the tea tree one


Nothing interesting to report toiletry wise.....

Im so tired its stupid! Need to start finding something to occupy my mind
Good news is my application with the AA has been 'progressed' so fingers crossed


Checked my bank account and I want to cry I have £69 of my overdraft left (still have £30 virgin and £200 rent to pay out this month)....Am off to town this afternoon so will see if the bank will increase it to the max, but that still only gives me just enough to pay the rent....Still bought OH nothing for his birthday....so so fed up with lack of money.

To be honest its no wonder Ive ended up in such a financial mess - thanks to the gov deciding what my parents *should* be giving me (apparently £79 a week :eek: - I get nowt)....My SL worked out to giving me £306 a month, considering my BILLS ALONE come to £270 a month that gives me £36 a month to live off and buy food. The ridiculous thing about it all is that before me and OH moved in together my bills came to £335 a month before food - needless to say you can see how I very easily ended up maxing out the overdraft

Postman has just been - had a £10 bonus bonds voucher through from something Im signed up to, least that something to hold on to so I can buy something when I have nothing at all left!
Praying the Alba cheques £5 and £10 come through soon - not holiding my breath though as my post seems to go missing on almost a montly basis (still no tights)
Cashed out the money in my paypal account (£21) from surveys and grade guru...every little helps as they say

For the mouse (I refuse to accept there might be more than one :eek:) I'm using sticky traps just as they are. Still nothing. But then again, I haven't slept in my room for a few days so I haven't heard anything. I bought some dessert scented candles (chocolate etc but v fragrant) and I'm wondering if it's the smell of those :eek: Pudsey - the sonic repeller sounds like a good idea, I'll have to check it out

Charlie - great news about work for you OH! Fingers crossed you get the AA job to tide you over at least

Absinthe - I'll help pelt! Did contact the counil, they said they would put poison out then the mice would apparently feel thirsty and go out to find water and just 'end' outside. I'm just worried what if they decide to 'pass away' inside the house

The generous hip fairy visits me :rotfl:

Trudij - So sorry to hear about your friend's son *hugs*

I was so shocked to hear about Elisabeth Sladen, couldn't quite believe it. Used to watch the Sarah Jane Adventures with my nieces and nephew.

*hugs* sarah - Hope they quieten down for a bit at least. We can come pelt them with mouldy toiletries if you like (there is noooo theme here :rotfl:)

It's really annoying me that last week there was a post with a website/product/suggestion or something that I wanted to look up, and I didn't then and there and now I can't remember what is was, or anything about it except I wanted to check it out - stupid me :mad:

I did receive the nail varnishes [STRIKE]- yay![/STRIKE] It's a set of 6, so is it one in as a set, or 6??

Anyone used this? It sounds alright I think but the also have alberto balsam for £1.07 on 3 for 2 which makes it cheaper than 4 for £3. That seems ok. It also works out cheaper per 100ml than the boots own ones.
Anyone know when this offer ends? It'd be a complete pain to not get it before the end of the offer wouldn't it. And will I be excused for getting 3 as that's the offer and it's what makes it cheaper? Yes, good good!




ETA: Just so I don't sound completely deranged, Sawan posted in between me reading sarah*a's post and posting my response

I haven't used the Boots Ingredients stuff but do use the Expert Sensitive which is good but if the AB works out as better value I'd go with that

The haircare 3for2 only started today (or yesterday?) so I'd guess will run for a couple of weeks at least.

Well - I've figured out why I'm so grumpy (apart from the noise!) .... and on a related topic .... I've just tried the Boots own brand Compact Tampons - very good! :rotfl::rotfl:

sawan - not sure my neighbours would be bothered if I chucked things at them - their teenagers seem to chuck their used condoms over our fence on a regular basis :mad: (and even ewww-ier when the dog brings them in :eek:) :rotfl:

Right - time to get dressed - the Avon Lady has just texted to let me know she'll be here at half three - expect a short IN's list after

Eeeewwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!!! I hope you chuck them back. Well, fling them back over the fence with a stick at least:rotfl:

I have a few ins. Impulse was £1 and BOGOF in a local cheapy shop so I got a few to last through smelly summer:rotfl::money:

I've got LOADS of outs though because I went to the post office with the swapsies :money:

So out..

Olay cleanser wipes WNBA because I didn't like them. Prefer baby wipes:rotfl:
Boots extracts cocoa butter body butter WNBA didn't like the smell
Boots extracts cocoa butter body wash WNBA didn't like the smell
Boots extracts cocoa butter sugar scrub WNBA didn't like the smell
Loreal elvive shampoo and conditioner WBA but I can't use it at the moment because of the keratin on my hair
S&G Slimwear WNBA don't like the smell
FCUK body spray x2 WNBA because i've got a big one and it's taking me forever to get through
S&G hand food - WNBA i find the one in the tube too thick, and i've got loads of the hand break sets to get through so about 10 gallons of it there :rotfl:
Vera wang princess perfume oil WNBA didn't smell right on me
S&G clean mary - WNBA didn't like it
S&G scrub your nose in it - WNBA don't really need it
S&G hot cloth cleanser thingy WNBA didn't like it/don't need it


I think that's everything:rotfl: i'll have to remember not to delete my lists on the swapsies group before i've done my list
