    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!

    I know exactly what you mean, for some reason I am quite happy that there will always be an offer coming up on the more mundane things but with other stuff like body butter and many others I think that there will never be another offer and I must buy it because then I can rest easy knowing I have it.

    One uu, Champneys moisture miracle skin comforting bath milk, wnba, lovely smell but it separated in the water so it needs to be mixed in a small amount of water first and also it doesn't bubble and the water looks a bit grim after.:eek:

    Gee, thanks! :D 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:

    :rotfl: Sorry:p Hopefully it will be nicer there than it is here. Today is rain, wind, rain, fog, rain, wind and a bit more rain:rotfl:

    I'm sure it'll be fine there though! Hopefully:D

    The weather is terrible here! Lots of things I should be doing today but I'm so tired. I'm going to have to have another word with my manager about putting me on split nights because I don't get any time at home. I'm just asleep all the time :(. I worked Tuesday night so I slept until 12 Tuesday, then went to bed at 10am yesterday until 3pm. I was then up until 2am and have just slept until 12 again. Waaaaaaah!
    I'm going to have to try and get into bed really early tonight I think.
    I took off my NV last night but forgot to put it back on. I must remember and then I will have sparkly toes :)

    Postie's just been and brought some unexpected freebie ins which I am actually very pleased about.

    3 Olay Regenerist eye derma-pod packs (2 pods per pack), a 7ml Olay Regenerist 3 point super-serum and a 7ml Olay Regenerist 30 second wrinkle-filler.

    These freebie samples are great, aren't they? Wonderful for holidays or weekends away although these ones will be used up as part of the normal run of things. I can also use them for reviews. :D

    I'm really pleased about the wrinkle-filler. I have fine lines around my mouth that are gradually becoming more noticeable and though the Aldi Syn-ake Wrinkle Stop is good, I've been wondering if there wasn't something better.

    I'm having a debate with myself over freebies. The Olays are great, but I've been also zealously applying for every shampoo / conditioner freebie going. I reckon I've had about six weeks worth so far this year, and really, I do need to use up at least two of the three large bottles I have in use.

    I gave away two Herbal Essence conditioning treatments that were a BOGOF that I got with a voucher so that has helped reduce bathroom clutter.

    I'm hoping Give and Make Up are in the process of setting up in this region. Then I shall apply for everything with zest and happily pass it on!

    I thought about offering my services as a co-ordinator, but I don't run a car myself, so might not have been the best person to help.

    There's been a recent post on the Give and Make Up Blog - thoughtful reading.

    No UUs to report - I've had a few recently thought haven't I? Got a freebie in the post yesterday - a sample of a new Elemis foot cream. Will try it of course - all in the name of market research! but won't be tuning in for the TSV that features this product. My credit card needs to be cleared and I really do not NEED anything. I'm even using up a tube of Superdrug My Skin clay mask rather than replacing my Decleor one. Unfortunately the Superdrug one is not a patch on Decleor's as it really dries my skin out.

    Had a really cack day. Have learnt that I have not got job I've recently applied for. I know so many people are in this position but still it's really annoyed me.
    Back for the No Buying Toiletries challenge. I pledge to only buy when I run out of a product that is not already in my stash no matter what wonderful emails land in in my Inbox or threads I read on MSE re: glitches!
