No Buying Toiletries in May Challenge

Happy birthday mculloch29! Hope you're having a great day!

Loving reading all the claims to fame. Mine are hardly claims really, they are incredibly dubious! My ancestors were miners in Hetton-le-Hole in County Durham in the 19th century, just like Kate Middleton's - if things had worked out differently it might have been me as the Duchess of Cambridge right now :rotfl: yeah right! My friend and housemate's little brother is an actor: he played one of the Lost Boys in the most recent Peter Pan and he's had bit parts in Holby City and The Constant Gardener. The same friend and another of my housemates were in the same year (possibly class) as Robert Pattinson from Twilight - apparently even before he got famous he was awful, supposedly he was really up himself as his family was really well off!

UU a Lush massage bar - Into Thin Air. WNBA unless they get rid of the mung beans. They ended up all over my floor as the bar dissolved!

Evening!

Happy Birthday Mculloch!

Another thing on my CTF list - well within the family is my dad fairly often serves Richard Hammond as he lives near my parents
Also Prince Charles bought the estate up the road from my folks, originally as a house for Prince William, bought it back in 2006 I think but no-one has lived there since....http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-388980/William-Kate--fine-starter-home.html obviously seeing as they are going to be living in Angelsey now as far as Im aware its just sitting there empty now, what a shame.....

It seems the Evans glitch hasn't worked out and people are getting cancellation emails, Im sure mine will come through soon. Bit of a shame but nothing ventured and all that.....

Am totally freaking out, I have one of my finals tomorrow at 9.30 am. Not yet begun revising and Ive lost my damn notepad that had the topics I needed to revise EDIT: found the notepad (had it all along but couldnt find the page it was on) not really getting the whole revision lark though ...On top of that the uni bus only if I get the usual one gets into uni at 9.25 and so that gives me 5 mins to get myself sorted and into the exam except no-one knows where the hell our exam is because they haven't bothered to tell anyone...Brilliant!

Picked up the suitcases from OH's folks today so am going to start packing my suitcase with toiletries :j

Evening all

One UU and one OUT to report today

UU - Superdrug Baby Wipes - WIBA? Not really, prefer Tesco/Boots ones. Down to my last pack of wipes so need to tock up soon!
OUT - Clinique High Impact Macara Black - WIBA? well it was a miniture freebie one, like the mascara though, have 3 more to get through! I have problems with my eyes so I only use mascaras for 2mths (minis) or 4months (full size) then bin, just in case

Mingle

A UU!

Johnsons baby powder- I like the concept, but probably not. Generic works just as well and I have a magnolia scented one to use. The OH has his own talc bless him

alfiecat

was in a different boots store yesterday and like a moth to the flame..... yes i ended up on the bargain shelf, there were so many bargains, i got a deodrant for a pound, thn used a voucher and got it for 75p, also picked up 2 shower gels, can't remember name but its aromatherpy stuff thats normally quite expensive karma something or other. As my stash is very low i felt i could justify it - was quite restrained really as the shelves were crammed with bargains.

I stayed at a hotel once that ran a gay and alternative disco in the basement and a very fresh faced young boyband were performing there, dancing energetically in studs and leather.

I saw them too when they were in their leather and studs phase We had VIP tickets as my friends dad ran the club they played in but we turned down the opportunity to meet them We regretted it when they started turning up in all the teen/gossip mags

My favourite CTF is that my MIL & FIL used to set John Prescott up on blind dates when they were teenagers I think he went to their wedding.

Jimmy Saville once accused me of stealing his gold pen, Nigel Kennedy once gave me and two of my friends a private performance in an Indian Restaurant (we were the only ones there and he was with his band - they were all rather tipsy ). Twice Graham Norton has been rude to me - once in a gay nightclub in Manchester when he banged into me on the stairs - obviously on something and once in Starbucks in Birmingham at 7am - he looked rough and I didn't notice it was him at first - I asked if he had change for a tenner as the SA didn't have any and he just stared at me :eek: and Jim Davidson told me I wasn't pretty enough to audition for his show in a restaurant in Germany :mad:. Not that I ever intended to - can't stand the man - but he overheard a conversation I was having about going back to Drama School and stuck his nose in :mad: On the otherhand Julian Clary was lovely - he chose me as the winner in a karaoke comp when he was in panto - and then I helped carry him down the stairs when he got plastered :rotfl:

oh - and I was featured in The Sun and Your Dog Magazine when my dog was nominated for a Dogs Trust Award in 2008


One IN and UU:
MJ Chocolate Face Mask: WIBA? No idea where this came from - I found it in the linen box I'm assuming it's DD's but I was unaware she knew where the linen box was so ..... :rotfl: It was really really chocolatey - smelt yummy! Left my skin lovely and smooth so I guess chocolate is good for you :EasterBun Probably WBA if I saw on offer

Congratulations - you win the award for the strangest phrase ever written in a thread on here! :rotfl:

Still loving the CTF's - a couple of my own - I used to know Tony Slattery quite well and once stood 'guard' outside the gents toilet at the Comedy Store while Josie Lawrence used it as the queue for the ladies was a mile long! She then returned the compliment for me - by the time I came out there was a queue for the gents as well - hurrah! And some years ago I went to see Roger Taylor from Queen with his band at the Marquee Club in London - hung on to see him come out afterwards and try to get some pics - he was hours coming out, and then when he did his PA Martin barged me out of the way so hard he knocked me flying! Next thing I heard was "Oh my god - are you alright?" and Roger was helping me up.....*swoon*!

And I hope you're having a stonkingly good birthday! :T

Going to have a soak in the bath in a bit - use up some more stuff! Did have an IN today - but I doesn;t put me on the naughty step as it was toothpaste and I am approaching the end of the only tube I had! Was going to get my usual Arm & Hammer one from 99p shop but they didn;t have it, so I got a twin pack of Signal whitening instead. Thought I might as well get two for the 99p price tag as one!

I'll need to start getting my head around what toiletries I need for five nights camping - it will be a good chance to use up some more of my travel sized bits!

Evening

Happy birthday And, hope you had a great day

Halfway through the month and I have not bought anything :T which is a miracle for me. Fingers crossed the will power keeps strong.
Hardly any UU this month so just as well I'm not buying anything.

I was in poundland yesterday and had a good sniff at all the OS shower gels (they had loads!) but put them all down again. My reasoning is that if they go to the back of the shower gel queue, it will be more than 5 years before I get to use them :eek:

On early starts this week so I need to go to bed now, boo it's early, so night all!

Happy biirrthdayyyy!!!!

Also, on the topic of TV claims to fame, I was on Gok's natural beauty programme. I'm in a close-up having my makeup taken off (to get into the club for free) and also me and my friends are in afew background shots (1 of my mates was wearing a luminescent tshirt - you cant miss him). I met Gok Wan and Mylene Class (sp?) veeery briefly =] Also, last year, on the way to Australia, I swear I was walking behind Gok Wan on a flight to Hong Kong!! Looked out for him in buisness/1st class but couldnt see him, so maybe it wasnt him =[
I adore that man! I would blatently have a sex-change operation to be with him (as long as I could keep my boobs!)! But it would be more on a "make my clothes look AMAZING!" way!!
