No Buying Toiletries in April Challenge

Oooh, DH just called home with a lovely caffitiere (sp?) if you buy two packs of Taylors coffee in Morrisons at £2.99 each you get a big caffitiere worth £15 free. Its really nice - does 8 cups it says, boxed too so could be a gift. Very pleased with him:D

SJP- I've looked at Fisherground campsite before, have you been there before. If you read my earlier posts I hate being on a campsite where the noise rules are not enforced, I'm not some grumpy old biddy but think everyone needs to sleep and people shouting and balling all night isn't on, I wonder if they enforce it here, sounds like they do from the rules page. If you have any further info would you let me know. TIA

I know what you mean about the rules not being enforced, and i'm sure with Immy only being 11 weeks old when we go I will have something to say if they're not!! To be fair the noise hasn't bothered me previously at other sites but it will do from now on.... Will let you know how it was when we get back!

Have you looked on this site for camping sites, some are pricey though :eek: http://www.awaywiththekids.co.uk/family-holidays/child-friendly/campsite.aspx


I see you're from West Yorkshire, we could be neighbours!! I'm near Wakefield....

Ahhh, happy birthday fixx Ouchie to the people with baddies. @ Fiasco55, you obviously have a naughty sense of humour like me, I thought the same re the nails but forgot to comment on them. SJP, poor Immy with the injections, it always seems so cruel doesn't it.
I'm sure I have forgotten more so I apologise if I have .

SJP, I have an event happening on the 29th April. It's going to be so special and I can't wait....... well nah, not really that special . It's my birthday on the wedding day. I was checking my hat earlier but they have obviously mislaid my invitation in the post :cool:. Funny that, they are allowing one commoner at least though :rotfl:.

Now then, down to business. I'm getting a little concerned re DS. The other evening he sat down next to me and he was reading someones stash list over my shoulder. I didn't realise this until he said "Mum, is that all the stuff we've got?":rotfl: Oh, my, He's so my son :T.
So when I got them home from school, I grabbed a 50L storage box and brought everything downstairs. It took me 2 trips :eek:.
I have a new (to me) bookcase (which I'm trying to persuade DH to put doors on the base of so that it's like a dresser) so it's not ever so full up yet. I started stacking things up on the shelves and he got up onto one of the chairs so that he could see in and get bits out. So he starts stacking the shelves too (can you see where this is going yet.....) and he says "Oh Mum. We've got lots of stuff haven't we. Can I have this (Shea lip butter) please?"
Now, I'm going to upload pics but please be aware that this is gift and personal use stash. This means that it might actually run out before the end of the decade. I did realise that I have to get toothpaste soon though and shampoo. By soon, I mean this year :rotfl:. My stash was much smaller before the BS glitch! Almost under control one might add .
Here's the first box downstairs


Everything in use at present (there are some open items in the other pics but they've been put aside for later dates)


Miscellaneous, wax, presents and bubble bath


Moisturisers and toothbrushes and my make-up newbies. I have 3 of the mascaras and the freebie eyeshadow


Wash stuff


Other miscellaneous bits


Is it bad that I was really excited seeing everything laid out so nicely and wanted to squeal, clap my hands together and jump up and down in delight ?
As you can see, I have a little bit of stock spare despite having had a fair amount of full size UU's and give aways this year. I haven't shown perfume because I couldn't be bothered to cart it all downstairs here's a pic from January, 1/2 of one of the Ted Baker minis has gone and the open Vera Wang is nearly UU

Not too much of an increase in shower gels surely?

Only the 3 middle (left) of these remain

The 2 on the right remain, I'm chucking the gel now, I'm sick of it!

Some have been UU

Only the 2 aloes and the lavendar are left

From L-R 1:still here forgot to bring down 2:gone 3-5: 1.5 left 6:Still going 7: still going, sachet gone!

One and a little bit left

Hmm, it seems to take up less space now though


I also stuck on a blackhead clearing facemask today after I dropped the kids at school and was having breakfast . I have now used both new masks and the spot gel. Don't know about the spot gel but the masks are lovely. My skin felt so soft after both.

trying to use up a lush yummy shower gel but it is truly awful smells nice but doesn't lather up and I end up using half the bottle in one shower:eek:also separated and gone weird and lumpy after about a week of opening it. at about £3-4 for a 100g bottle, I expect a lot lot more:mad:

I'd take it back, if it costs that much and I'm not happy then that's what I'd do.

Hugs to all lovely ladies, we seem to be a group of campers on here, I think we like to rough it but enjoy the fact that we can then go and pamper ourselves with all our lovely toliteries

UU- Tesco Vitamin E toner- WIBA Yes but there doesn't seem to be much of a rnage in my Local at the moment so wondering if theyve discontinued it like my fav meat free burgers:(

I went to buy this range for my sister on Sunday and found they only had cucumber. I did ask them whether they'd stopped selling it and I was told that they weren't sure if it was being discontinued or it was being rebranded. I was recommended the cucumber stuff instead as a good alternative (this was by the beauty adviser who happened to be working in store that day). Unfortunately, like I said it wasn't for me so can't recommend if it's any good.

I finished the S & G Wash Your Hands Of It hand wash that I had for Xmas. WIBA? Yes, it smelt lovely but I'm back to being MSE and don't want to buy any more hand wash just yet and so I've added two hotel miniature bubble baths to the empty container!

Blimey Kaz, that's impressive - you'll be here for a while!

And sorry for the radio silence, ladies, but after a million UUs together, it is taking me a while to get through the next lot.

Hopefully I will be through a shower gel in the next week. Yay! It's a Body Shop one and seems to be taking forever. *Insert snoozy smiley*

Ok could those of u on the naughty step budge up a lil and make room for a lil un.....

Had 7 ins to declare today ...but they was a bargin i couldnt refuse!
7 cans of tesco deoderant on whoopsie stickers 2 at 9p a can and 5 at 12p a can may be plain and simple stuff but these cost less than what i would normally spend on one can ! All stashed in the cupboard untill ive finally used up the 4 or 5 in use lol.

Also picked up some cheap tesco aunt flo bits yesterday also on whoopsies so i think they may be planning a rebrand on some of their own goods.

No more UU to report yet..

Run the top of the bottle/lid under the hot tap for two or three minutes - it should then open easily. Clean round the top of the bottle before putting the lid back on though.
