    Finally UU'd under PRCP - the 100ml BS Vanilla body spray dated 2002! Boy, was I fed up of this at the finish... I originally bought it as a bf loved vanilla, then when we split I didn't want to wear it, rediscovered it and decided to use it up as it still smelled ok. It seemed to last forever!
    WIBA? Not for a while. Spiced Vanilla sounds intriguing.

    Non -bought in's. Discovered a small parcel in my trike pannier- the 75 ml Pantene Aqua Light Shampoo and Conditioner samples. I think it arrived last week. 75 ml is effectively a month's worth of shampoo and a fortnight's worth of conditioner for me. What it does to my hair can't be any worse than what Clairol Foam did - I've read the mixed reviews. Will find out on Monday.

    I know I binned a couple of bits at the end of April, but as I can't remember and my list is at home, I'll stick them under May :p

    I was about to report a UU, but realised I already had :p So saved from cheating!! :rotfl:

    Totals for April:
    Toiletries: Unnecessary spend £0.80
    Makeup: Unnecessary spend £10.00
    INs: 11
    UUs/OUTs: 22


    Considering my March totals (my total unnecessary spend was over £80 I think :eek:) I'm very happy with spends and UUs this month :j

    Over to May now :)
    No buying unnecessary toiletries/makeup in May: Unnecessary spend £17.60
    May
