    A couple of in's to report, a fake tan applicator mitt, used AC points for this and it was £3.99 on the shelf but went throught the till at £2.37, also a cheap bottle of fake tan from Wilko's for £1.99, going to use them today or tomorrow and see if I get less streaks.

    April has been bad for in's but I feel like there isn't anything left that I want let alone need so May should be good, fingers crossed. See you on the May thread and big thanks to sarah for setting it up.

    No, I haven't. For buying this and the Sensodyne Pronamel I wait until they are on special offer and bulk buy them. It saves a fortune in the longterm. I'm down to my second last bottle, so I need to take a look around to find a good special offer.

    I have to use this as I have stupid acid erosion :( and am hoping it will help! ;)

    Sometime they have it on really good offers in wilkinson.

    It was more funny than scary - there was one bit with the Weeping Angels that was spooky but as we were at the front of the crowd - and therefore the first to go into any new corridors - it's was more scary than if we'd been at the back :p So my advise would be to stay in the middle of the pack - but it is suitable for little ones so it wouldn't be too scary anyway :D

    TBH - as a fan but not a fanatic I think £20 a ticket is too much - but my OH (who's a DW nut) thought it would be good value for that price.


    I forgot to list my UU's yesterday being so tired:

    Ted Baker Body Spray (mini): WIBA? No - didn't like the smell :(
    Boot Expert Sensitive Conditioner: WIBA? Still have one in stash - along with a couple of others - but I do like it so yes - when I need more :p

    and now the IN's: :o

    S&G Clean Mary (1 x 180ml/1 x 75ml)
    S&G Righteous Butter (mini)
    S&G Girligo (smaller bottle): I may swap this for the BB in my travel stash as it's to be used after a shower and I only ever get to use a shower on holiday
    S&G Hand Food (125ml)

    All from eBay - the 75ml Clean Mary was one purchase (won for about £1.50) and the other bits were in a set that came with a fabric covered vanity-type box and a bath lily/puff thing and cost me just over a fiver :T

    I was very good yesterday though - we walked past BS in Kensington and the SA was outside handing out 50%off vouchers so we popped in .... and then out as I said there was nothing I needed so wasn't going to buy anything :T (although if I'm completely honest I would have bought a Wild Cherry Lipbutter if they had one ;))

    Thanks Sarah - just talking it over now with my friend who is quite tempted :p.

    One last unexpected UU for April - Gillette Satin Care Shave Gel 75ml. Had been in my stash for ages so I had wanted to UU and yes I would buy again.

    Another £2 into my pot.

    See you all in May :)

    Another 2 purchases to report before the start of the new May thread (thanks to sarah*a for starting the thread for us) - and my purchases are thanks to sarah*a too;)

    I asked a few days ago if anyone knew where there was an offer on for Batiste dry shampoo and sarah*a kindly pointed me SDs direction....so I have 2 new dry shampoos @£1.19 each for my stash.

    also a couple more UU's to report:D

    Batiste dry shampoo (fresh) - WIBA - oh yes and already have (see above:rotfl:)

    Renew oil (from wilko's) - I use this as a night cream and find it very good - WIBA - yes but only when I've used up all my night creams:D


    See you all over on the May thread x
    :naughty: Save money on toiletries: no new/duplicate items until I've used up all existing supplies

    Just curious. Do you have an alternative cleanser that you use other than C&P. Only asking as I switched from it when they changed the formula but still haven't found one I like as much as C&P.

    Also, I saw in Sainsbury's this week a new hair range (think it was called Happy Hair Days) and the packaging was very similar to MOP. Am thinking that I'll give it a go.
    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!

    Hey peeps,

    I've not read through to catch up - think I've about 15 pages to read since I went AWOL! Have some lovely ins due to the fabulous Facebook swaps group!

    However, I properly fell off the wagon today - got to town way to early for a haircut and fell into Boots by accident - found they are selling S&G righteous butter lotion 500ml for half price, so thought it would be rude not to - I love that stuff and while I have a fair few lotions and butters I have none of that in my stash.

    Then I discovered the boots extracts body butters and just had to stop and sniff the vanilla one... Big mistake. I absolutely adore the smell, nearly went all weak in the knees in the store! So I had to buy one - I think this is a new HG for me!!

    Off to catch up and join the may thread - I think an updated stash list and renewed vow nor to buy is in order! Am determined to stick to it for may!!! Xx
