No Buying Toiletries in May Challenge

footymadgal

I have uu a 50 ml M&S Coconut Shell Body Polish. WIBA? Yes, I loved the smell and it wasn't too scrubby and so nice for regular use. No idea whether you can still get this though as it was part of a gift set I had for Xmas about 3 years ago. I've also uu a small soap.

I have to confess to my first in of the month - I bought the magazine to get the BS Dreams Unlimited BB. I will also be using my Groupon coupon this week or next .

Is this SLS and all that rubbish free do you know? Could I use it on keratin treated hair?

The john frieda one is pants, by the way

Thanks for that! Won't be buying that one then! What's the name of the Charles Worthington one minerva? I also really like the Lee Stafford one, so if the CW one is even better, that would be great!

Morning!

Needed an early start this morning as I need to go to town and hand out CVs - fun....

May very well not be on again much as OH's old laptop really has seen better days the screen (hinge broken on one side) being left open and unsupported for numerous months has meant its now leaning so far back is ridiculous so I cant use if flat anymore because I can't see what it says - now having to lie in bed with my knees up and it up at an angle, so frustrating. One of the first things I do when I finally get a job is get a new computer!

Anyone here had thier BS orders yet? Curious to see if all 3 free items actually do come

morning all,what a week I have had,thought i would never survive

after a lot of tears and talking we seem back on track(I came downstairs one day and he said come and give me a cuddle but after that he started sying stupid thing to me and when i asked why he said well we have made up now!

a line form a song(Midnight train to Georgia) sticks in my mind "I'd rather live in his world than be without him in mine" and gues that sums it up.I will have to try and count to ten/bite my tongue or I think we could end up parting and don't think I could bear that.As i said in most things he is perfect.He is away tonight and think we could both do with the space.He took me dancing last night and i hardly spoke on the way home so he said you are very quiet what is wrong?It is so funny as he can't seem to stand me being quiet(nothing was wrong,I was just tired)
we won an easter egg(Thorntons mmmmm) and there was abuffet last night so not helping my diet!)

Busy week as working 4 days and DS1 is coming home from the US fro a visit(called and left drunken happy mothers day(well it was in the uS!)

just got the post ...car tax due £215:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:wish it was charged on how much you drive as I only do about 2000 miles a year(need a car as live out in the sticks with hardly any buses...none on sundays/bank hols)

orderd BS stuff last week and not even sure what I ordered:rotfl:AS SO UPSET AT THE TIME,did manage to get the 3 free gifts and spent £26 inc love your body discount and also got quidco but didn't see the £5 off someone mentioned.

hope all well,have a good week

Morning all!

thanks for all the kind wishes for my dog, i haven't reported it to the police and can't really do anything about the owner as the park wasn't a local one. I would have given my details had I been him but he was a prat. Alfie spent the night at the vets and they have just phoned this morning to say he can come home (with a cone on his head).

Alanis - he is a beautiful, bouncy black labrador, he hasn't one ounce of malice in him and thinks everyone is his friend, maybe he will be more cautious after yesterday.

BTW what is CFS??

Well I was naughty at the wekend again and went into the local Body Shop to pick up my Birthday gift with my LYB card...its the first time I have had one, ended up buying banana shampoo and conditioner and using the fiver towards a perfume...I didnt realise you had to spend a tenner to get your card stamped..so ended up getting a white musk perfume and two hair products for just over ten pounds!!....and I'm still waiting for the order from the Body Shop Online, which I'm feeling guilty about.

.....so much for my no more toiletries challenge! need more willpower!! Did manage to use up a nice M&S bubble bath so thats one bottle out, 3 in unfortunately!!

Maggirl Well at least you're thinking about what you've spent - that, as much as anything, is what the challenge is about - making us realise what we have, appreciate the good stuff, and think carefully about "want" -v- "need" when it comes to spending on toiletries! Worth knowing that about the spend with the birthday LYB gift though - so you have to spend £10 on top of the gift to get the card stamped? Makes sense I guess....

Rosemary Glad it seems you are back on track. If he doesn't ike you being quiet, perhaps that is a tool you can use to make him consider your feelings a little more? Not in a "sulky" type way, but just in a "I don't feel like talking" way instead? Sounds like it will get him wondering....! Regarding the car tax - I wish mine was only £215!

Viv CFS is Chronic Fatigue Syndrome I think you will find.

Charlie Good luck with the CV distribution!

XOXO Thanks for the review on that John Frieda stuff - won't be trying that then!

Have a good day everyone - I'd best get on with some work!

I did PY(T)NS last night with a nice metallicy satsuma colour. Then I forgot/ thought it would have set and put my slippers back on. So when I went to bed, I had fluffy big toes. Need to redo my big toes tonight!
Having put the sparkly on top of the old, I found that it came off nice and cleanly so I will do that in future, it saves going out and buying a separate undercoat which I don't want and it's expensive . This is MSE after all and what could be more MS than saving 2 bits of cotton wool and a couple of glugs of NV remover?
Will catch up later, TTFN.

I'm back after spending £100 at Body Shop, £35 at Virgin Vie and picking up some of the discontinued Morrisons bargains:o:rotfl:

How is everyone?:D

Just want to say a big thank you for posting the BS glitch!
I did two orders on Thursday and then did another one yesterday. My second TCB didn't track though- maybe because I did two consecutive orders and only tracks the first one...???? Anyway, I have 11 gifts sorted.
White Musk set
Strawberry bag
Moringa bag
Sweet Lemon bag
Mango Cube
Coconut Duo (as in a shower product + a body lotion/butter) -FREE
Sweet lemon Duo -FREE
Satsuma Duo (x2) -FREE

1 UU -Gatineau cleanser -WIBA yes but I get bored too quickly and I have now opened my L'occitane shea cleanser for sensitive skin. Also UU my Mop 1 Litre conditioner - thought it was never going to end.

Hello to Living Proof - loved your first post. Looking forward to seeing your stash list -it will take a while to do intially but it is worth it. (plus we like a nosy):rotfl:

Vivh - so sorry to hear about your poor dog - some people are so irresponsible and should never be allowed to be dog owners!. I hope his ear is going to be OK.
