No Buying (Un-needed!) Toiletries in JULY Challenge!

charlie792

Ended up with 3 new tops - all fitted style, two of which were half price so 3 tops for £16 which isn't too bad. Beleive it or not I got one of them in a size 10 :eek: haha I would love that to be a sign that Im loosing weight but I tried on a different top in size 10 which wouldnt even come close to doing up

Going to have a bit of a pamper session this evening I think - might finally use up the rest of my shampoo and body butter!

Apart from obviously having way too much, I also have too many things on the go at the same time.

Some of these are travel sizes, many in fact so 50/75 ml rather than massive bottles.

Two UU's Arm and Hammer whitening toothpaste. WIBA? I already have. Also I have finished my Ted Baker body wash, it smelled lovely but it was a limited edition fragrance for Christmas (I got it on sale much reduced) so I don't think I'll find it again. Still I can now crack open my Elemis body scrub.

Charlie792, well done and good luck with your new job tomorrow.

I have a UU to report: A sample size of Clarins Gentle Foaming cleanser, it was nice to use but not sure if I would buy a full size of it.

Charlie that's brilliant! I'm SO pleased for you, and thanks for telling us to quickly too! :j Shall I amend the comment against your name on the roll-call I wonder......!!

Kaz I had something very similar a few years ago - such severe pain particularly when I moved that at one point I actually passed out from it. Turned out that I had (without particularly realising) got myself a little....ummm, lets say "clogged up" and as a result my stomach basically got infected. A couple of days of eating the right foods to get things moving again I was right as rain. Huge apologies to all if TMI!

Aw Charlie. that's just fantastic ... AND it's related to your quals ... AND it's local! Very well done, a joy shared is a joy doubled.
Kaz, get better soon, surely work will acknowledge that sudden illness can be very sudden at times.

Another UU finally finished my S&G righteous butter, WBA smells lovely and leaves my skin so soft, think Ill open a ghost moisturiser next...
My S&G handcream is still spluttering, cut it open over a month back now and its still going, just goes to show how much I used to waste by not cutting open tubes:eek:

Charlie - just checked with MrEH and he tells me that the girls that work in the firm he's in (City firm in London) dress "smart casual" - so trousers of skirts and smart tops, but certainly not suits. So for this week you ought to be absolutely fine with those trousers and your new tops - mix & match with different shoes and statement necklaces to draw attention away from what's on your legs. Then at the weekend try to pick up another couple of tops and a plain black, navy or grey skirt and repeat the same actions for the next few weeks until you get your first pay and can extend your choices a bit.
