No Buying (Un-needed!) Toiletries in JULY Challenge!
Options
Comments
-
I am in for this challenge in July.
One UU to report: A sample sachet of Decleor's Aroma white C+ with SPF 15. Lovely product and not greasy at all. Might buy once I have used up all my other SPF facial moisturisers.
This month I shall continue to use up all my "Summer" products such as cooling body lotion and shower gel etc that I know I don't want to use up in the winter.
Good luck to all those who are job hunting. I must make a bigger effort this month to start looking for work for when my contract is ending on the 30/9.No toiletries challenge, started 18/1/2010 - Putting £1 in my savings jar for every item that I use up. Pot 1 to 4 = £261. Pot 5=£23
Boots points:£39.21. Extra money in 2012:£674.59. In 2013 £603.48. 2014: £85. 2015: £0 :j0 -
actually - I should probably do a stash list for her as well, Im worse for buying things for her than I am for myself - and I think if its at all possible she goes out less !!!! :rotfl:
:rotfl::rotfl:I'm like that with buying things for the Dogs :rotfl:MarzipanFish wrote: »The job fairy program annoys me too when they all get jobs usually with no experience, qualifications or skills other than vaguely saying 'i like working in a team'. Phew...
(I need a job too)
OH hates that program - He works for the Jobcentre and all I hear is "If I was given a week of one-to-one with my clients I could find them all a job too - she's nothing special"
I'm back from my weekend away and I'm shattered - will update properly tomorrow (if I've got enough energy after the nurse has drained me of blood :rotfl:)

Obviously, don't need to buy anything for quite some time.....:o0 -
Phew - you lot have been chatty! Roll call now updated and there are over 50 of us for July already! :j
LT not sure about that nail colour - I was expecting something brighter I think from the name.
Went into Body Shop yesterday to see what I fancied for my £5 birthday gift. Found one Cranberry Joy BB labelled at £5 when all the others said £6 so decided to see if I could get it for the lower price. On getting to the till she said straight away it was wrongly labelled but they would so it for the lower price for me. Then I couldn't find the flipping LYB card! :mad: (Turned out it was there all along but I'd put it somewhere different in my purse!)To my surprise the SA said "Oh don't worry about it - have the Body Butter and you'll be able to use the birthday gift again!" I offered to show her the email on my phone but she said no, that was fine, handed over the BB and wished me a happy birthday!And yes, before you all ask, I probably WILL use it again! Considering BS's prices, I think they can stand it, and having been given permission to do so by a SA....! :rotfl: This sort of thing never happens to me so to say I was stunned would be an understatement! I think there will also be a second IN associated with my birthday as I'm going to ask OH to get me that nail varnish I've been lusting after I think!

I'm in again!
After a really virtuous month in June, I've fallen off the wagon! I bought a big tub of LUSH dream cream and two La Roche Posay sun creams on Saturday, then received a tube of Elemis cleanser and a sachet of body wash as a freebie from a spa day. I did UU a sachet of Tresemme shampoo and conditioner though...0 -
EH- nice one! Makes a change to have a friendly SA who will do a little bit more for their customers. (and sorry I forgot to thank you for starting this thread -so thank you:D)
Kaz - how is your arm? I always us neat lavender on a burn, works wonders and never scars.
Charlie - thinking of you - and ditto all the great pearls of wisdom on this thread.0 -
