    Im not really technically in this month - not really much point when I physically can't buy anything anyway :D

    I've added you to roll call - you're in missy :p Nothing in the rules to say that you must have money not to spend (if that makes sense?!)

    DD is over and her and OH are having a musicals night - they've watched the Buffy musical and are now watching Evita - which I think is one of the drearyist movies ever made so I've had a long hot bath and a good ol' pamper :D

    I've washed and super-conditioned my hair, hot cloth cleansed and thermal face-masked, body scrubbed and washed, shaved my legs and body buttered - and I'm about to moisturise my face and do a foot treatment and will pop some cotton socks on before I go to sleep.

    I feel very clean :rotfl:

    Tomorrow we are going to the park to see the maypole dancers (why they didn't do it today I don't know?!) and might grab some lunch out somewhere. So I hope the weather is nice but not too nice as it's a fair walk out there and I'm still shattered from our excursion on Friday :p

    :wave: But the pics were so BIG!

    I was embarrassed at how huge they were. That somehow made my rather unnecessarily large collection of make up look even worse! :o

    I have rearranged my Bobbi Brown eye shadows all into six pan palettes though - so I could do some pics! :o:D:rotfl:
    Oh go on! Please? :D
    I'M IN FOR MAY!!

    Will do a new list when i have finished getting xoxo drunk this week :D


    Have also given away to xoxo a BS Vitamin E face mask which burnt my skin in seconds when i put it on :(

    Go easy on her, unless you're going to hide her cards and throw away her clothes while she's out cold!
    Don't be palming more onto her, she's got enough already, haha!

    I am in again please!!
    Thanks for starting the thread sarah*a

    I am going to try really really hard this month
    There is absolutely nothing I need, so no excuses for any toiletry shopping! I haven't had a no spend month yet, so I am going to try my best for May.

    April totals were 9 UU and 8 ins so pretty much cancelled each other out!
    No more buying unnecessary toiletries 2018
    35 UU / 13 unnecessary ins

    It is your fault!!!:rotfl: Not many people you can visit and have wine put in your hand as you walk through the door followed by a massive jug of the most lethal cocktail known to man :rotfl:

    Then cocktails after breakfast the next day... and the day after... oh my life my liver :( :rotfl:

    :rotfl: It had no choice but to taste nice the amount of stuff you put in it :rotfl: You'd have just kept going til you had 10 jugs of nice tasting cocktail rather than the 2 you ended up with trying to get it to be ok:rotfl::rotfl: I dread to think of the cost per glass of that the amount of alcohol you put in:eek:


    Anyways just to be OT :rotfl: I apparently have an in, a face burning cream, cheers PP :rotfl::rotfl::p

    but 2 INs to report:
    johnsons day cream and face wash to test for glamour, which is good as I just...

    UU BS passionfruit cleanser- WIBA? yes, smells nice, bottle lasts ages and leaves my skin feeling clean but not tight:j

    I love love love the BS passionfruit cleanser. I think my daughters have become converts too as the bottle goes down rather fast these days!!!
