    Do you know if a black spray bottle from their toners counts as a pot?

    I'm not sure Alioth, they usually have a sticker on the items you can return to get a freebie. If there isn't one its worth asking next time you are in:)

    Another UU- Lush honey bee bathbomb. WBA its probably my fav:)
    Debt free and busy treating myself:)

    No more toiletries/make up until I've used what I've got stashed since Jan 2011, graduated October 2012. Restocked Dec 13..damn those sales

    Meant to mention this morning I have an IN and UU to report.

    IN: bottle of L'oreal Make up Remover. Mine is spluttering and will be gone in the next few days.

    OUT: Bottle of Garnier conditioner that came with the Nutrisse hair colour. It's ok but a bit thick in texture. Much prefer my Tresomme.

    Hope all the MSE No Toiletry Spend Challenge ladies living/woking in London are ok.
    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!

    Hello. I agree hugs to all those close. Such craziness. xx

    I have 2 UU to report and some outs

    Thanks to suggestions of what i can do with all my hotel minis. I was so unimpressed by them and you ladies are so discerning that I decided not to put them on swapsies. But I have found that a local homeless charity are thrilled to have them for people to use when they stay.So 32 minis out.

    Another out - mini Clinique happy perfume to my Mum

    UU - Mini Pantene Conditioner WNBA - nothing special for my hair bought for hols ages and ages ago.
    UU - John Frieda Colour Glaze - I WBA but i don't think that its made anymore, but does perk up my blonde colour between hairdresser visits.
    £400,000 starting Jan 2020 current end date Aug 2041 I would love the end date to be 2027 but will aim first for 2037.
    1% target £4000 so far £20 paid

    Afternoon All :D

    Hope everyone in danger areas are safe :( Police station was set on fire about 5 mins from us in Handsworth last night :(

    So glad we changed our plans yesterday - OH was supposed to be getting a train at 7pm which would have put me in town on my own slap bang at the height of the Brum disgraces :( Thankfully he went at 2 instead.

    He's due back in a couple of hours and I will feel much better when he's here :(

    My Avon is arriving later so keep space on the naughty step :p

    Hugs to all :A

    I love this fragrance too though I haven't used this particular product. Have used the shower gel and body butter though.



    I love the SOS cream as well. Is brilliant when I have a breakout.


    It is fab - shame about the price ;)

    Hope that everyone in the riot areas is safe and fingers crossed that it isn't going to spread any further. A 16 year old from Glasgow has been arrested for trying to incite riots in Glasgow this afternoon. On the news tonight Nick Clegg & old Boris getting heckled whilst doing their tours of the riot and looting areas. Maybe a bit of a reality check on the public opinion of the response by police etc.


    I have a UU - No7 Facial Wipes. Got them on one of the last Boots voucher. WBA only with another voucher otherwise a ridiculous price for face wipes.
