    I'm in please! :D

    Although I did go a bit awol last month - am off to confess my sins on the end of the May thread (although not too bad - I bought 3 body butters on a 3 for 2 offer in the bonus points event Boots just had and that's my entire ins for May!) :A

    A definite improvement on March and April, so am confident June will be my first actual no buying month!

    I'm in please - although I haven't bought anything unscheduled since January but this helps keep me on track and I need to read reviews so I know what to get when my stuff runs out!

    UU to report, coconut shampoo from Tesco. Still a teeny bit in but it's going in the washing machine so I'll class it as a UU anyway...WIBA? Yeah when we get through the full bottle we have left. Got about a quarter of handilicious honey and almond hand lotion left. Using it everywhere but my hands recently xD

    I'M IN
    Can I join please? I went a bit crazy for the body shop glitch in May plus I have an unhealthy addiction to buying perfume and really need to get through my stash! :):)

    I'm in without any doubts :)

    Hopefully this month my UUs will exceed my INs. I was happy with the reduction in my spend last month though in comparison to April though :)
