No Buying Toiletries in April Challenge

Another UU - Urban Therapy Curl activator. It was 99p (at the 99p shop ) and actually very good. I bought it when money was a bit tight last year but have been able to replace it with my HG product from Frizz Ease. So yes I WBA it worked and didn't leave my hair feeling greasy.

@Sawan No idea what to say, it's very understandable that you feel devestated. Your posts have been reminding me of the film "The Notebook" so here's a quote from the last letter. Maybe you could adapt it and use it for your email.

" My Dearest Allie. I couldn't sleep last night because I know that it's over between us. I'm not bitter anymore, because I know that what we had was real. And if in some distant place in the future we see each other in our new lives, I'll smile at you with joy and remember how we spent a summer beneath the trees, learning from each other and growing in love. The best love is the kind that awakens the soul and makes us reach for more, that plants a fire in our hearts and brings peace to our minds. And that's what you've given me. That's what I'd hoped to give to you forever. I love you. I'll be seeing you. Noah."




I read a review of that on a blog recently, I like how it comes with primer. http://beaut.ie/blog/2011/avon-advance-techniques-professional-hair-colour/ Happy Holidays:)

That's so lovely Mags...I must watch the film, is it based on a book?

HUGE MASSIVE hugs to you Sawan and Charlie SOme great advice from people xXx

One UU for me - mini s&g righteous body butter, nice but not as nice as the daily smooth

Enjoy your holidays EH and Rosemary!

I *love* The Notebook - such a great film. (And yes it is based on a book I believe?!)

I UU for me: a herbal essences shampoo that was in the old packaging - I have had it for a good while!

Everyone on this forum is so so lovely

I've never seen a book for "the notebook" but there possibly is one. It's an epic love story, you have to watch it.

Working full time somewhere there are no shops (well there is a costcutter and a blackwells!) and doing lots of volunteering and other things so I hardly have any time to go shopping.

This coupled with not checking the quick buy it now thread and the demise of the boots thread on here!

We used to go shopping quite often at weekends because we had nothing better to do so a mooch about the shops etc was a nice option and I loved picking up bargains from the Boots thread on here and would even sometimes go to the out of town shopping centre after work.

I run a Brownie and Guide group now, volunteer at local theatre and help run a music group. OH does lots at the theatre too and we can have weeks when we go straight from work to spend whole evenings at places and all weekends etc and then there is no time for shopping and now I have less stuff I appreciate the space I have!

I also have a better job now and earn a bit more, so whereas before bargain chasing was really important, and it still is now, I'd rather spend a bit more on a good deal of something I really want than buy lots of cheap things (same goes for clothes etc for me) and do a bit of saving too.

Since I joined this thread again at Christmas what it's helped me do is actually use things I've got PRCP in action!

Very inspiring Yorkielass - less stuff more enriching life

Hope you are ok Charlie. Swanan big hugs to you as well.

:wave: Welcome to the newbie and the not so newbie!!

Have a lovely holiday EH and spa break Rosemary. All of this holiday talk is making me wanna book something up but my summer holiday 2 week break isn't til November . Think I will try for a mini break in July to tide me over.

Another splutterer - Listerine mouth wash. Loads more in the stash.

Just had a little google and the book is by Nicholas Sparks, so will have a read of it! Thanks!

Hi to the newbies!

1 UU- Gok Gold Body Butter. The matching gold body wash has 1-2 days left in it as well. WIBA? Well, I can't, so No, but I don't think I would if I could. The smell is lovely but very strong, it interferes with my perfume. Its also not as moisturising as I'd like. My legs are very dry and this hasn't really been up to the job.

I'm selling a few things on Ebay, stuff I'm not especially keen on and stuff that I have too much of. Most of it looks like its selling reasonably well, it all ends tomorrow so I'll know then.

Hugs to Sawan and to Charlie. Men can be very cowardly and pathetic at times. You both deserve, and will have, better.xx
