    I'M IN AGAIN

    Hi all. I'm back. Shouldn't need to buy anything this month as I have a pending Boots online order with all the essentials I've run out of on it. I probably will place an Avon order for one of the new hair colour kits but other than this I'm gonna try to be really good unless there are any other fab magazine freebies I don't know about yet. Will not be buying the Glamour Benefit edition as I know those products don't work for me.

    I know there's a Philosophy TSV coming up but I'm going to try and avoid watching it. I'm all out of my favourite Amazing Grace fragrance but do have a Pure Grace gift set still to open so must not even look. Hopefully it will be full of skincare as I don't get on with their skincare and wouldn't be tempted in the least.

    Naughty Martin Lewis though has sent me an email about the Rubie and Millie sale. May wander through Boots at lunch time to test my resolve.
    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!

    I'm In

    I'm going to stay away from the grabbit board this month as it was only the BS free gift glitch that got me last month. I'm also on my way to beating my perfume habit:o I'm down to 87 of varying sizes now. I'll post my list in a bit hopefully.

    Thanks XOXO for starting us off this month xx

    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:

    Thanks for the warm welcome :hello:
    I placed 5 orders under the original glitch...eek! I have to say though I was really happy with what I got but yes, I now have boxes of it stashed all over the place! Plus I already had way too much shower gel and body lotion to start with and now I have double!

    The only planned 'in' this month is the Glamour freebee(s) as I wear benetint every day so would be mad not to stock up ;)

    I'm totally getting the benetint freebie but I did run out of blusher last month so fair is fair :):) . I've gone to visit family for a couple of days and i've forgotten my mango body butter (TBS 50ml). I'm drying up and so angry with myself- I could have had it used up this week! GAH!!!

    There are some nice stash lists on here ladies!

    I've got a beautifully wrapped tablet of this in my stash, must try it soon. Where are you going in Greece, you lucky thing?


    I'm sure you'll enjoy using it. They lather beautifully & leave such a nice scent. We're having a week in Mykonos & then one in Santorini. This will actually the first time we've been abroad for more then a week & the first time we've ever returned to a destination, so am rather excited! I've got the plummeting Euro rate to thank for that :D

    I think I may have to take a few things off my stash list - my Boots Pure White bath creme and my Boss Orange perfume, and possibly some others - because they seem to have disappeared in the move. I am slightly gutted about the perfume as it was a lovely smell, but I can always buy more once I've used up what I have...

    I'm in! I think this is the first time I'll be attempting this challenge. I'll be back later with a stash list. I will be buying body moisturiser at lunch time, because I've run out, and I'm drying up like a scaly prune!
