You know that Planet Spa body souffle I was complaining about this morning? Well it's an OUT now! My Neighbour called in earlier - she's an Avon fanatic so I told her about it and asked if she wanted to try it - in spite of me being honest about why I'd not liked it she said yes please!🎉 MORTGAGE FREE (First time!) 30/09/2016 🎉 And now we go again…New mortgage taken 01/09/23 🏡

NPI report. Just left TK Maxx. Almost bought a few things. Mainly Leighton Denny minis
Went in for conditioner, but small sizes same price as larger sizes, but no larger ones in stock. Didn't want to go up to 750ml. That's toooo much for the amount of conditioner I use :eek:
Btw for Mitchum deodorant fans, B**ts has them 2 for £3.50 and SD doing £1 off some. Noticed this in Bluewater the other day but forgot to add to my INs post.No buying unnecessary toiletries/makeup in May: Unnecessary spend £17.60

I removed my nail polish on my toes. I bough a fancy glitter last month which I put on top but it was a buggar to get off. I used so much cotton wool and ended up picking it off. It looked great on but am now tempted to chuck the bottle, not going through that procedure again.
Happy Wednesday!
Here's a nifty tip to get heavily glittered polish off. It's an addition to the tip posted earlier in that you soak a pad in remover and wrap it around your toe nail. Then wrap a layer of tin foil around the toe nail as well. Leave for a a short while. When you remove the cotton pad the whole layer of lacquer will be removed. Voila !Don't forget the giftcard is only valid until the 8th July and they don't let you use it on sale itemsI tried
Thanks Sarah. I went down to TBS today with the intention of using the gift card but am now going back on Friday as the lovely SA has said they may exchange the Seaweed Cleanser I bought for another cleanser (probably the Aloe one they think). I am getting low on my Elemis Neck and Bust Cream (found another small tube but can't afford to buy the full size) so will ask them what is best for this use. Hadn't realised you couldn't use it on sale items but then I'd only end up buying more body butter/lotion/shower gel that I don't need.
Got a bit giddy the other day after I had been in Boots. Picked up the new free mag and saw an ad for Philosophy. Looks like they are now selling this online however the prices are a lot dearer than QVC so I won't be tempted. Hurrah!
Have painted my nails today using an old favourite : OPI Didgeridoo Your Nails? It's gone really gloopy though so don't know how long this bottle will last for now.Back for the No Buying Toiletries challenge. I pledge to only buy when I run out of a product that is not already in my stash no matter what wonderful emails land in in my Inbox or threads I read on MSE re: glitches!

Evening all! UU's BS sweet lemon shower gel (small bottle) - WBA loved the smell and a little goes a long way.
UU Herbal Essences beautiful ends leave in hair cream - WNBA as it made my hair feel a bit lank and greasy.
UU Skin wisdom vit C moisturiser and also calming balm - this was part of a microdermabrasion kit, the moisturiser was ok. The calming balm made great aftersun though!0 -

I mean, I have a toothpaste that I like and I won't use anything else - should I just chuck the other stuff?
They were very appreciative and sent me a very nice thank you letter. (Although they spelt my name wrong, which is a shame, as I had given them my info so they could giftaid it).0 -
Hi!!
Happy July!!:T
So I only had 3 UU and 1 in last month so lets see if I can do a bit better.
any this is my list of UU so Far in July:
Rimmel Lasting Finish foundation - Had this since Jan and it's finally finished and I have another in stock haha !!
Superdrug Vitemin E face Scub - WBA does the job , smells nice and is good price.
Superdrug Body polish in cranberries. - oka but nothing special .
2 in's but my friend bought me them.
Rimmel Nail polish in Disco ball and purple daze ( I think ) :T:beer:No Buying Toiletries 2015 challenge :beer:Last bought : April 10thNo more starbucks / costa challange

I have a couple of ins.
Some shower gel (cant remember what it is)
and 2 x hairspray (one tresemme, one shock waves)
No U/Us, although my Mum is doing my hair for me tomorrow so that should use up a keratin treatment and possibly a hairdye. I'm going away for a few days too so should get some UU of mini toiletries.
I need to update my stash list but I never seem to get round to it
I also have a list of stuff to put on the FB group, but i've deactivated my fb at the moment for various reasons so can't do itI may make another account to join the group again and do it that way because I don't want to reactivate my usual one for now.

evening ladies,
I have my first uu's of July :j
1. Molton brown black pepper shower gel 100ml - a very lovely shower gel and the last of a set I was given at Christmas, however I think Molton Brown is way too expensive for what it is so I probably wouldn't buy this myself. Down now to only one shower gel - it's only taken me a year of doing this challenge to get there!
2. S&G Girliglo lotion 100ml - not my favourite S&G product and I still have another 3 in the stash to get through
Hugs to anyone that needs them, and welcome to all Newbies:beer:

Hi all
. Been really busy today so only a quick leap into the bath this evening. Was really funny last night, I kept waking up thinking "I have to moisturise my feet" so at 3am when I got up to come downstairs 'cause DH was snoring, I put on some hemp foot butter. My feet are thanking me for it
