No Buying Toiletries in May Challenge

asset2004

Oh dear, I have several:eek: INs, went to the BS to use my Groupon voucher as it expired today, ended up with 9 x 30ml Hemp hand cream, as they were on 3 for 2, so actually 9 for £12 less the TCB so that is pretty good! :j Now to use them, which is good that my handcream is spluttering!

Also went into Superdug to get the new Beauty Card, they refused to give me one without purchasing anything from the store:mad:, so I walked out.

Good evening ladies! Glad you enjoyed my response on that ridiculous thread! Thanks to the others who showed support too, either by posting or thanking. The cheques are, obviously, in the post! :rotfl:

Off down to Cornwall tomorrow for a few days camping (hurrah!) so my washbag is packed up with lots of goodies from the travel stash - let's see how much I can use up! Need to remember to pop my handcream in somewhere though - it's still spluttering away like a good 'un but with no signs whatsoever of actually running out! I have a S&G one to go on to after that's gone (it's an Avon christmas one from several years ago I'm using currently) and I want to start on it! *stamps feet*!

assett, I think that you got a very good bargain there. 9 hemp hand creams for £12. That's pretty good going. How long do they last for do you know? I know the fragrance is an acquired taste but Bronnie (and others) always recommends it so highly.
We are coming to the end of one of the body shop shower gels. Cocoa butter I believe. It is not lasting so long because I have been using it too. It's delicious. It smells like clean babies .

Speaking of clean babies (and perhaps wandering off topic ever so slightly ), DS has learned how to do armpit farts. Delightful! It's very hard not to snigger when he's doing it though .

Bring your wellies, a thick waterproof coat, an umbrella, something to shield you from the wind and maybe a rubber dinghy for getting back to your car - the weather is awful down here!:rotfl:

Where in Cornwall are you going? :cool:

A UU! Hurrah!

An avon wintercare face cream- i think it was about 3 years old! I would buy it again because it was light but also moisturising. I'm onto an avon dry skin sos face cream now- I hope it's not too heavy.

Hopefully i'll have that blasted toner used up by the end of the month too. My this will have been an expensive saving month with all those UU going into the pot

I nearly did. :rotfl:

I have some UUs my lovelies, but I'll post about them tomorrow. I need to go to bed.

N'night. :wave:

Just a quickie - Jacks was too modest to mention her absolutely corking reply in the Thank Abuse! thread but I have duly thanked her - don't let her go unthanked!! https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/3239294

I don't think I've posted on uu of some toothpaste, Arm and Hammer Enamel Care Sensitive. I've replaced it with some more Arm and Hammer Whitening Sensitive (name?) and the OH also wanted some Colgate Total as he doesn't like using the sensitive one on a daily basis. I had thought of stopping including toothpaste in the challenge but I've still got 2 x Pearldrops Whitening and a small tube of Colgate Professional Whitening and can see with 342 offers that it would be easy to get too big a stock going before you know it.

I've also uu a dental floss and have replaced it but I've decided to now stop including floss in my challenge as for some months now I have been sticking to just the one in use and I only buy a replacement when the container is almost empty. As I can get the Oral B one for about 89 p from Home Bargains or Body Care there is never a need to stock up. If only I could be so in control with other stuff such as BB!

yes I think I did get a good price for them, espcially when I got another £1 something back through TCB!
TBH never got to the end of the hemp cream and have only had the 100ml tubes (because got them in the gift sets when on sale:rotfl:) However they last ages and I know some people don't like the smell but I don't mind it.
I am going to give some to friends at work for presents because we all work outside and we all use it.:T

Gee, thanks! Heading to Camborne - the same site we camped on last year and LOVED! At least if it's been wetter down there than up here we'll not have problems getting tent-pegs into the ground! :eek:
