What's all this about, I missed the last one?

Mrs Moneypenny or one of her cronies puts empty/near empty toiletry bottles in the wash with towels, sheets etc to make them smell delicious. I now have Moringa scented pyjamas and undies This is handy for me as the fabric softener bit on my WM doesn't work.

Yeah, I think so anyway! Might be a bad idea if you're doing a 90degree wash or something!

My house dilemnas continue. Seen a decent house very cheap but there's nothing 'wow' about it. It makes going for the 'wow' expensive place seem a bit extravagent though.

Also I have an interview for a job just over an hour away. It's just taken ages to come through so now its a bad time. It's a good job, I'd enjoy it and it has a good salary. Only an interview but I sort of feel like I'm part way there because I've already done their pretty tough aptitude test which the interview is based around. I dont know how to feel about it.
If I got it I might be able to get away with commuting for a bit but they ask people to live near incase of emergencies.


I don't want to go to June's thread yet because June 1st is my Birthday and it feels like cheating and like having my bday early
My calendars are deliberately still on may too which is kinda awkward!

One slight IN for the end of the month. 2 packet of cotton wool pads from Aldi for 99p, almost ran out of my current ones.

I reckon that's allowed - and necessary - well done!

May has been a disaster for me with 3 BS glitch orders:eek: (I think I already admitted to one), Champneys product plus GWP, Benefit skincare freebie set and Clarins toner (in order to get "free" facial). I think (hope) that's all. I've been MIA, too busy shopping apparently,:rotfl: and am also way back on page 33 of this thread.

Is there anyone who's avoided the naughty step this month?

So, plan of action, join June's thread now and keep up with it. Over the weekend do a new stocktake and post a full list of ins and outs. Do not buy so much in June...but am already tempted by Debs offer on hydraquench tinted moisturiser.:o

I'm decalring my UUs and INs recently

UUs
Pantene Aqua Light Conditioner 200ml - WIBA? Maybe. Nothing to write home about but I didn't have any problems with it either. I still have a mini to UU so onto that next.
Sweet Spice Bath Bomb - WIBA? No. This is one of the trio I 'discovered' in my room recently. One to go...
Emporio Armani Elle/She EDP 50ml - WIBA? Yes, definitely. Just got to get that perfume stash down Onto an Elizabeth Arden Green Tea scent (100ml :eek:), which at the moment doesn't seem to last that long, but it's a lovely, light scent.

INs
Estee Lauder Daywear Sheer Tint (?) trial size (FOC)
Estee Lauder Double Wear mascara trial size (which still seems to last forever) (FOC)
Had forgotten these as freebie ins from Friday when I bought the Bronze Goddess Soleil palette for my cousin (which I thought was super kind of me as we don't really get on/communicate much ) for her birthday (party).

Totals for May:
No buying toiletries in May: Unnecessary spend £6.70
No buying makeup in May: Unnecessary spend £26.74
INs: 23
UUs/OUTs: 16

At least my ratio for INs to UUs is reducing :eek:

BTW. If I place an online order today (obviously this is all hypothetical) can I count the spend and INs today??

I don't think i'll try it. I'll probably forget to take the label off or something and end up having to do my washing 600 times to get rid of the bits:rotfl:

I just realised I started the thread a day early - oooops! That will teach me for checking the date half asleep :rotfl::rotfl:

Some UU's for the end of the month!

Superdrug hair minimizing cream - WIBA dont know if they still do it! Had this for 5 years or so! Dont think it did make a difference to the fuzz.

JF blonde shampoo - WNBA due to my head not liking it no more :-(

Nivea Q10 handcream - WNBA bit to sticky for my liking.

Schwarzkopf glitter hair spray - WIBA Yes but I think its been discontinued!

Tesco body detoxifying mud body mask - WNBA bit messy and not sure it did much apart from make a mess!

Boots No7 Sauna Mask - WNBA this left a horrible oily white residue behind so had to then use soap to wash it off.

See you in June ladies!

Just been ruthless and had a sort out of my nail varnishes and random toilettries box. I am moving in 2 months and don't want to take unnecessary stuff with me. Got lots of OUTS!

- 7 x various hair products that I will never ever use on my hair (gel/mousse/volumising spray), many of which moved in with me here 2 years ago! All were freebies/comp wins etc so no money lost. I will donate these to family members and then any leftovers will go to charity/womens aid etc.

- 11 x nail varnishes. 9 are to be binned as they have separated/clumped etc (2 of which I can easily say are 15 years old :eek:). The other 2 I'll donate as I'm not a fan of the shades.

Think that's quite a good end to the month!! :rotfl:
