I'm in please!

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!0 -

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!
