No Buying Toiletries in May Challenge

Dr_Roberto

sooo slacking on my uu this month

alfiecat

evening all, one UU to report, elemis lavender shower gel, this was part of a lovely gift set i got at christmas. nice enough but i wouldn't spend a fortune on buying it, a bit like molton brown imo - bit hyped for what it is.

got a few other things spluttering which i hope will be UU by the weekend

Been doing so well. First month and still no spends on toiletries! But there are a few things I need.

I have been trying to go with out face wipes, but its becoming torture now! I've been using hot water and soap (i have a couple in my stash that never get used)to remove my make up, but I can't take it anymore! I'm going to have to buy some facewipes. I long for the days when i'd get home from work at 3am (i work in a very busy pub) climb into bed and just wipe my face to take my makeup off whilst snuggling down to sleep.

I also miss a good hand cream. The two I'm using at the moment, just don't cut it. My hands feel slimy/greasy after, and as my job is rather manual and constantly washing hands for hygiene, I think I deserve a decent hand cream!

So that settles it. This weekend. On my day off. I'll buy face wipes and hand cream.... And ruin my first 'No Buying Toiletries' month ...Think I'll try to hang on till Tuesday ....Getting rather OCD about challenges on here which probably isn't a good sign!

Evening everyone,

I haven't been on here for what seems like ages but thankfully the exams are over now and I can get back to some funstuff without feeling guilty :j

I have only had a few uu's recently, everything seems to be lasting forever but I have uu'd - two boots own spray deodorants which I will never buy again - the amount of white fallout was unbelievable. The first time I used it I actually checked the ceiling as I thought the plaster was falling down :eek:

Also uu a can of Elnett hairspray - this will definitely be bought again at some point, but not before Tuesday because for the first time since I started this challenge I HAVE NO INS :j:j:j

I don't know if anyone else has seen this but it seems that our friendliness to each other seems to bother some folk

hugs to all, xx

Oh thats hillarious.... well if they are talking about us, then they are leaving others alone (as Im often told!!)

no UU here, but only the shampoo ins still for this month, and as I decided to keep the tube ones for when im away for the weekends, they arent stash - so no unnececcary ins for me at all - and Im down to just the 12 soaps now I think too - hurrah !!!

Just had a look at that thread. I'm sorry, but what's wrong with us all being really friendly with each other, despite most of us not actually knowing each other, and thanking each other's posts.

I'd rather thank a post than go to the trouble of having a rant over it

Now how many of you are going to thank me

I posted after you EH. I am quite irritated by that! I mean, the Arms has little cliques anyway, so why not criticise them? (Not that i'm encouraging anything, I like the arms and I like it here and Old Style!)

A UU:
Avon SSS handcream. It smelt ok but BOY did it sting in any cuts I had, and I have quite a few! Now on to a sanctuary one

Ladies, might I encourage you all to follow the above link and thank Essex and Mingle for their lovely comments, as I just did?

I can't think of anything more likely to irritate the people who were commenting on what a nice bunch we are.

It's one thing if you don't want to be all thanky-feely, but I couldn't be bothered starting a thread to moan over it if I didn't.

Those who are being negative on the that thread (it's not all) should buy some more toiletries: if there were as busy as we are using them up, they wouldn't have so much time to be negative!:rotfl:
