No buying toiletries in June challenge!

vivh

Am on a roll this month, have another uu, FCUK polished bath syrup, have another in the stash to replace it. Have a few splutterers too, No7 hot cloth cleanser is on it's last legs and should finish the no7 balanced cleanser this month too.

Unfortunately I am on a roll with my in's this month too:o. Got the Grazia mag but the Debs benefit counter didn't have any so they are posting them to me, won't hold my breath though. Hope I do get them cos that mag was c**p.

Went into Boots, superdrug and BS today and bought nothing so that's a step in the right direction.

hello....

Rosemary - Glad DS3 is sorted out, enjoy the graduation...

Carolyn - Massive congratulations.... have you named the day? :beer:

Sarah - Hope little dog feels better soon..

EH - Sorry the weekend didn't go as planned...

Sawan - Love the nails! A sari would look lovely....

McC - Love you getting your hands dirty and sorting it yourself!!!

Sorry if i've missed anyone else's news - my heads a shed at the minute!

Has anyone used the Avon Foot Works Foot souffle? I've been using it a couple of weeks and i'm pretty sure my feet are getting drier rather than softer? Also i've noticed that its turning my feet white :eek::eek:

Should have some splutterers in the next couple of days, especially as DS has discovered my stash of fruity shower gels, hes using as bubble bath.....

No ins as yet (I'm doing well :A) although I will need some sensodyne by the weekend and i've none in my stash, i'll ask one of the girls at work to pick me one up, otherwise i'll end up going to Asda and i believe they have reduced toilettries at the minute

Ins freebie Origins sample.

Went to get Benefit freebie and SA knew nothing about it so she gave me an eye cream sample as a good will gesture! So I still have my voucher so will try elsewhere.

Also went to SD (productive lunch break today!) and got the Spa shower gel and body polish for 19p each!

I managed to get my Benefit freebies from Debenhams - the set is so cute, it smells nice and loving the box! Having said that, I don't think the products are going to be easy to get out of the bottles!

Lol did you manage not to eat most of it? Mine didn't last long, I kept eating it!

Haha, yes I do admit some of it was eaten quite nice and scrubby though.

SJP-Thank you, no not named the day or anything yet, will be a while before we do anything, will be a quiet affair, possibly just ourselves :j

I actually need moisturiser now because my hands are really dry from cleaning the new kitchen. But they're packed away! seems silly when I have lots of nice new ones but I'm cutting open a binned tube and getting the dregs out!

actually, loads left in here! It looks a bit lumpy and not v nice though.



Also I mentioned to Mr LL that i didn't really think it would be fair for us to pay full rent this month given it wasn't properly ready and they'd got us to take the place a week earlier than we actually wanted. He said that sounded reasonable and he's speaking to Mrs LL about it. I said I was open to suggestions on how much we should pay. They both seem really nice so i dont think theyd be unreasonable about it but i'm not really sure how much i want taking off.

We're on day 3 of the tenancy and have moved quite a bit of stuff but can't really stay there yet as the paint on the windows in the bedroom isn't dry so we can't shut them. It'd be too draughty to ignore as it's an attic room with 4 windows and they don't seem to have an 'only just open' setting.

I'm kinda proud of myself for saying something because I was a bit scared to!

Well done to you! When he comes back with a figure if you genuinely feel it's more than you were expecting based on gut instinct then accept, but if not say something like "Well to be honest we were hoping for something more like £xx" and see what is said. The more of the extra you have paid out by having two lots of rent that you can recoup, the better, after all.

Oh dear - we're not back to people eating their toiletries again are we?! Remind me - Breakfast Scrub doesn't taste as good as it smells, does it?! :rotfl:

:j Another UU! :j

Body Shop Satsuma Shower Gel - WIBA? Smelt delicious and lathered well - in fact the only downside to this one was that I found it slightly more liquid than some of theirs - once it was turned upside down to get the last out I found I have to turn it back right way up again before flipping the cap open else it all dribbled out everywhere! On the whole though that was a minor inconvenience. Just replaced it from the cupboard with a BS Sweet Lemon one.

Have a lovely day ladies!

I was hoping for a refund for the days we couldn't actually stay overnight for & then rounding up a little because of having to clean up but I'll see what he says today.
A lot of it will go straight back out on a microwave anyway most likely! I guess I could suggest they buy one for the flat and a couple of other bits (it's let mostly furnished) if they don't want to just knock money off the rent.

I guess I've put off packing long enough this morning! It's so annoying now... all the little bits & things we were putting off incase we needed them.
We noticed the other day we'd completely missed some really obvious things! They've been there so long that they just seem part of the furniture even though one of them is a sombrero on the back of the door!
