I so don't actually need tea though, I counted about 12 different kinds as I moved and that didn't include seeing what was in a tin of various brands/flavours of fruity tea or the sainsbury's tea we're still drinking here!
Only 12....?!
Shall the 2 of us start a No Buying Tea Thread? 
(Ok, three things I have more of than I need. Toiletries, shopping bags and tea of any variant.)Erma Bombeck, American writer: "If I had my life to live over again...

Three UUs for me today.
SD Vitamin E body cream. WIBA? Have another tub to get through, but liking it so far.
Nails Inc nail oil pen. WIBA? Probably, but have 2 more nail oil products to get through first.
Garnier Pure face wash. WIBA? Yes, once I have used my other cleansers. Has kept my skin relatively blackhead-free, and I've had blackheads for as long as I can remember, so this one is a winner for me.
Can anyone recommend a decent product for taming flyaway hairs? They are the bane of my life!HSBC Credit Card £608.69, HSBC Overdraft: £4123.67, HSBC Loan: £8,270.69

Quick check-in to report a UU:
S&G The Breakfast Scrub - WIBA? Yes I think so. Loved the smell, was tempted to try some then remembered xoxo had already reported back on that :rotfl:I've only ever tried Lush scrubs and Flakeaway and am all out of scrubs now - so yay!! I will buy a replacement though as I have 'dotty' (ingrown hairs?) legs and this combined with epilating instead of shaving seems to help. Maybe a M&S one I read about in a magazine.
That's just shower gels to work my way through now :eek: I was going to buy a replacement conditioner and keep my mini to take on holiday but decided to uu the leave-in conditioner I have. (Writing that I realise why my hair looks/feels so dry - forgot to use it
).
Good luck with the interview Charlie, will keep my fingers crossed for you!
Mcculloch thanks for the tip on the chai. I do like it so much, it's just difficult to find a nice tasting one though!No buying unnecessary toiletries/makeup in May: Unnecessary spend £17.60

I use a hair serum (frizz ease purple one super strength! or similar) before blow drying my hair. And if I have any other stray flyaway hairs I tend to just use a tiny amount of Vaseline. Just rub it onhands and smooth over hair.

Have a uu, my no7 hot cloth cleanser is done, i have been using this almost everyday since the back end of January, very :money:. I have 5- yes that was 5- more of these in the stash but have moved onto a part used S&G hot cloth cleanser for now.The devil makes works for idle hands0 -
Afternoon

Charlie - good luck for your interview! Great news about your reply
A couple of UU's to report:
Bastiste Brit: WIBA? yes - when I can find it cheap enough
Planet Spa Japanese Rice and Sake Illuminating Face Treatment: WIBA? I would. I've been using it as a serum (TBH the instructions weren't that clear) The sachet lastest almost 2 weeks as I decanted into a BS tester pot. My face feels lovely and smooth when using it and it smells lovely and milky
Not so sure about the 'illuminating' bit though.
Back to the vets again today - hopefully Little Dogs meds are in - fingers crossed :cool:0 -
