    Please can I join the June challenge.

    I failed April & May with -Bodyshop, Superdrug and the Ruby&millie reductions .

    Todays ins... Ruby&millie i brush, cheek brush, foundation brush,smoky eyecolour and castings butterscotch hair dye.
    I did need the dye but the brushes are backups as they are very good quality and I used to buy them with the no7/ruby&millie vouchers.
    Love can tame the wildest

    I'm in again please (for the sixth month running) *sigh*
    Well i did OK in May. All my UU's came at once but my new weakness seems to be OPI. With the TSV on QVC and then just buying the Serena Williams collection. :o On the plus side though my nails haven't looked this good in years.:j

    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! :):)

    Welcome Ali-belle. :wave:
    The body shop glitch was worth it (I sort of miss it.....). I placed three orders but am gifting all of it (I am honest!). How many orders did you place in the end and have you like me had to find places to hide it all?:rotfl:

    blue writing are the things in use.

    according to my full list i have 195 items with 34 in use :(
    I've set myself the target of a net reduction of 50 items before mid may next year. So far i've achieved 4/50.
    UU since started on here - Nov/Dec 2010 - 24, and Jan - May - 68. most of the easy ones have gone now so it's a long slow haul.
  • I'M in for June please!!!

    Thanks for starting the new thread xoxo.

    I'm hoping for loads of UU this month, I have lots of things with about a 1/4 left which I didn't get through in May.
    No more buying unnecessary toiletries 2018
    35 UU / 13 unnecessary ins

    <Hangs head in shame over misbehaviour in May thanks to Bodyshop glitch> but finally got a grip and I'm in for June.
    Have been rather naughty (hung on until page 60 something on the BS thread before I gave in...twice...gulp. Whoops !)
    Anyway, AWOL position explained, and am back to it with gusto. Wish me luck ladies :)

    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.

    I've just UU'd a Hemp BB - and I have to say i don't like the 'fragrance' of it all - the only one I do like is the lip protector .... which leads nicely onto:

    Also, I just wanted to thank (haha, although I probably alread have done) whoever suggested getting the BS Hemp Lip Protector, my lips are as smooth as a baby's bum (eww, maybe could have used a better analogy, lol) with no more occurances of chapped-ness =]

    You're welcome hun - it's FAB isn't it :D

    rosemary - hope things are sorted out quickly for your son :(

    rachel84 -hope your Mum's op goes OK ((((((((hugs))))))))

    Our holiday was lovely - and the dogs were very well behaved all the way there and al the way back :p They had a fab time running on the dunes everyday. We had one really windy day when the little man couldn't walk (it was that windy :eek:) and I had to carry him :rotfl: and the last day was quite rainy but we managed to get out during the breaks. We're already looking forward to going again in september.

    A few IN's and UU's to finish off the month:

    UU's:
    BS Hemp BB: WIBA? No - as mentioned before I don't like the smell
    Gok Hand Balm: WIBA? Oh Yes. Love it - hopefully it will be back in some form at xmas :D

    IN's:
    2 x Boots Vit E Toner
    1 x Boots Vit E Day Cream - both my toner and day cream are spluttering so I needed them and the extra toner was because of the 3for2 :D
    1 x Mega Mushroom Face Mask Sample (30ml) - this was free for taking my empties back :T
    1 x Sainsbury Basics Roll-on Deo - I ran out and just bought the cheapest :p

    May was a pretty good month for me - hoping not to spend much in June - I have an £8 Avon order coming next week but shouldn't need anything else - especially as it's my birthday halfway through the month :D:D
