Thanks Charlie for starting the thread - love the roll call!
Another vote for a pamper party on the 15th - but why don't we have an additional 'pre-wedding' pamper session too?
What do you think ladies?
What a fantastic plan! Good thinking Charlie & Sunshineyday! I will be mising out on it this time round as we will be away, but I will be with you in spirit! To be honest the clean fresh air and spending so much time outdoors will be like one giant pamper session for my face anyway!🎉 MORTGAGE FREE (First time!) 30/09/2016 🎉 And now we go again…New mortgage taken 01/09/23 🏡

I'm in again, hopefully do better this month, the urge to buy got too strong last week and had 4 INs. I will need shampoo and conditioner soon as almost finished and on the last of it but they will be allowed:)Debt free and busy treating myself:)
No more toiletries/make up until I've used what I've got stashed since Jan 2011, graduated October 2012. Restocked Dec 13..damn those sales0 -

so if im able to repeatedly count on fingers and toes i think thats 137 depending on how many webbed toes one might conceivably have. Considering i dont wear a lot of makeup.. i guess i must hoard :rotfl::rotfl:
Have a planned spend at AVON tomorrow but since i ordered that and the £14.50 has been in my wallet ready to pay for it since March im not declaring it as an in for april if that makes sence so can i be excused from the naughty step for this mnth please? I have been making use of the double the diffence offers but i think i have enough shampoo and bubblebath now! no planned spends this month but hopping to knock lots of spluttering items off the list.. they seem to splutter as good as Mary Poppins is at pulling coat stands out of that carpet bag of hers! BUT I WILL FIND THE BOTTOM I TELL U NOW!:p Dont want to spend anything more on makeup and toileties for the rest of 2011.

Also thanks to everyone in the March thread who sent me good luck wishes for the interview
It went pretty well I think - they said they'd let me know tomorrow so fingers crossed! It'd be a great job as it's very similar to my old one but also allows me to learn new skills, it's really good money, the people seemed really nice and it would be really easy to get to from OH's flat. So hopefully it'll be third time lucky for interviews in March!
And I'm definitely up for pampering on the 15thI have some empty Lush black pots so am planning to take them into the shop and treat myself to a face mask which I might break out for that...
