    I know I haven't posted much but I am reading it everyday. Kinda busy at the minute but in a couple of months I will become a much regular poster again.

    I will have to buy conditioner this month but think that will probably be about it!

    You know I just realised something Im the total opposite with toiletries and food...I realised that as I was eating the remains of a HUGE bar of dairy milk....OH only bought it for me tuesday night :p If I have food I want to eat it all even if Im full, but toiletries I wont use because I won't have them anymore if I do.... Its stupid how the brain works haha

    On a slightly different note has anyone here ever ordered anything online from BHS and had it delivered to instore....Basically I ordered something about 2 weeks ago (money gone from account) but never had any confirmation as to it being delivered to the store...I contacted thier customer services who were NO help and just told me it would be delivered to store within 5days from order date and that I would recieve an email when it was there to collect...They seemed to miss the point its been 2 damn weeks!

    Sign me up for this month please. :) I'm not doing too badly so far - have managed to avoid spending anything on makeup/toiletries in the Avon book and have started taking bits and pieces to work to do in my lunch hour so I don't go looking around the beauty counters in town! So far, the seats in my car have been thoroughly cleaned and I've started a lovely new sewing project.

    I'm feeling all positive!

    Ladies,

    Trust me on this one. The best of luck with your intentions but do you not realize that the Tesco DTD promotion is going on. This is the wrong time for you to think about not buying smellies.

    Go to this thread for a start to see what bargains are about!

    Has anyone else received their May copy of Glamour yet? - postman bought me mine this morning. It has 3 perfume samples in it. One for Issey Miyaki - not a fan smells like my Ghost Cherish which I don't particularlly like. Mark Jacobs - Daisy -more of a scented page than a sample, bit too floral for my likeing
    Also had Swarvoski Aura. Smells really nice that one, didn't even know they made perfumes but I might have to investigate it :T

    Could I request it being a Friday night please? That way those of us without much of a social life can have something nice to do when everyone else is out enjoying themselves and getting drunk! :o

    And yes, spotted the perfume samples in Glamour - I'm usually really rubbish at using those little weeny samples but I should make the effort really , shouldn't I?!

    I'm in for this month :D
    Have been really poorly since Monday so not posting much. I haven't got everything out to photograph it as I went to bed at 8.15 last night (after a little nap from 7-7.45 :o) and I got up at 12.15 today :eek:. Thankfully have broken the back of my cold and feel well enough for work tonight.
    I'll take pics of the stash as soon as I get a spare moment.
    Probably next week though now.

    Can I ask for a pamper night on the 26th, as I'm getting a full body spray tan on the 27th in time for my big day on the 29th?
    I never got round to doing the foam party dye yet as my friend forgot on Monday and we were going to do it Tuesday but I felt so ill, I cancelled her. I've not felt well enough to go it alone and do it yet so will do it once I think I can stand upside down for a bit :rotfl:.

    I have been off work for nearly 2 weeks (using up the last of my AL) so when I go in tonight, I expect that my avon order will be there now. I'm not declaring that as an April in because I already confessed to it and had stated that I wanted to get the items on the list in February. Although I DID state I wanted a body scrub but I don't think I can get away with that for my body shop order!
    Night ladies :)
