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

Good luck getting to target! I was hoping to hit target today but even through I've been good and done 2 days of Fast Forward plan (SW) I seem to have put on weight :mad: I guess maybe my bodys just holding on to it as I had a massive 6.5 lbs loss last week, I was being a bit over optimistic with managing another 2.5 lbs this week it seems:( Must try hader this week and not let anything get in the way...

Im up ready to go soon! Scary stuff. To be honest Im more nervous about the whole getting there rather than the job itself - Ive never got a bus that way before so I have no idea where I need to get off haha, I google mapped it and all I know is after the big Newport roundabout, I need to go past another 2 small roundabouts and its there I need to get off. Making sure I get a bus that gets me there in plenty of time because its meant to be a 10 min walk from the bus stop to the office, although hopefully I can get a later bus tomorrow because Im going to get there about 20 mins early today.
Its damn stupid really, if I could drive the whole journey would take about five mins, I live at junction 27 and the office is at junction 28, but getting to the bus station in town, getting the bus, walking from the bus stop takes an hour!


Have a nice day all

Weightloss is definitely not a nice straight line is it? My line on the wii is more like a zigzag!

just realised it is July:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:because of ongoing laptop problems(still got the loan one!)I cannot add the thread to my favs so have to go to may thread and then onto june one(with me so far?)have done that for days now and only just thought about it being july....there is no hope for me:rotfl:
DH upset me(so what else is new?) last night by saying "I did not realise L was so old(as in having a 30 year old son) she looks much too young!I stupidly asked how old he thought I looked and he said"your age give or take a few years!:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:make sme wonder if there is any point to buying all ther anti ageing stuff !

1 in for me,sent for the ultra lift freebies off the tv add,14 sachets plus a wrinkle strip:rotfl:thought they would do for holidays.

DS3 did not get the job :(and is now saying could I let him have a carepackage?i.e money to pay his rent in addition to all I have already lent him!

annoyed today as saw the deckchairs I bought last month down from £35 to £20 .......did however buy a new garden table and chairs as ours on their last legs not helped by Dcat using them as scratching posts:mad:

planning a beauty week as DH going away for a few nights...hair dye,nails ,face masks

Hi all,

Been keeping up as usual, work is stressful as is everything else in life!!

Went to a 25th anniversary party on Saturday which was lovely. Spent Sunday at Goodwood. I cannot believe how much I walked, wish I'd remembered to put my pedometer in my pocket!! It was amazing weather too

Charlie, I hope your first day goes/went well.

Adilade, where in Dubai did you stay? Looking forward to my trip there next week :j
Kaz how are you feeling now? *hugs* hun. I hope you're feeling better and work doesn't kick up a fuss for no reason.

Welcome to everybody who's joined recently Ooh and love all the stash lists!!

Please don't tempt me hanval by telling me about the lovely sounding M&S polishes. I really do have so many Had another NPI last night in SD: one of my new favourites Andrea Fulerton ones were on offer for the single polishes, and there's new striper ones in her range for doing nail art. I can't even explain how difficult it was to resist I also did not look for any 19p toiletries *phew*

Now the dreaded:
INs
Mandara Spa Shower Scrub (£2.50)
Mandara Spa Sugar Scrub (£4)
I was out of scrubs (other than a mini Sweet Lemon one which I can't find ) and these were half price in Sinsburys, so while only one was needed, I didn't know which to buy and figured it was better to buy at half price. Only realised how expensive individual scrubs are when I went to buy one :eek: Got my other ones in sets!
M&S Camelia Foaming Bath Essence (£1.50) Bought in the sale last night, not adding to stash as all out of bath stuff!!
M&S Busy But Beautiful Silky Body Balm (£5) Looks like the Benefit Take a picture it lasts longer but a fraction of the price. Not essentially needed and I don't really wear skirts, but I wanted the Benefit one, so saved myself £20
Elegant Touch Rapid Dry Nail Spray (£2.95 SD) Needed as all out
Sure Biorhythm Motionsense deodorant (£1.99? SD) Bought on adilade's recommendation. Not strictly needed as have Sure one roll-on in use and one in stock, but no sprays (I will justify it some way )
Colgate travel sized (£1.05 SD) Wanted this for holiday as trying to travel light (so I can shop when there )
3 x mini empty cream pots (£1.78 (342) SD) Same reason as above. Actually, not counting the empty pots as ins. As they're never UU
Total unneccessary toiletries spend (see the catch? : £9.49

UUs (I'm so glad there's some of these!!)
Lush HIWTK soap- WIBA? Yes, when I've used up what I have! Onto a Lush snowglobe soap bought in the sales.
Next Just Pink Shower Gel 30ml - WIBA? Is this even made still?? Had it sooo long! Just a little of the matching body cream to UU and the hand cream *sigh*

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.

Vivh - that is a very impressive stash list. I'm the opposite and have very few things on the go at once as I then get annoyed about not using them up. I'm in a phase at the moment of using all my small body lotions up so that I can get through things quicker!

Kaz - best wishes too, hope you're feeling better soon. I work shifts too and have had to phone in a couple of times at 5.30am when I should have been at work. But as there's nobody about in the night, there's nothing you can do. They have to understand.


Have a good Tuesday

Welcome esmf73, sorry to hear about your MIL, hope you are all coping OK.

Welcome Mrsrobertson, looking forward to your stash list.

Kaz - hope you are feeling better today.

Hope Charlie is having a fab day, fingers crossed for her.

3 unexpected ins for me today, a gift set of M&S maison (forgot the rest of the name) bath cremes, lavender, orange and another one, they smell really lovely, 100ml sizes so not too big. These were a thankyou gift from my children's school for helping out once a week.
