    Charlie - that necklace sounds lovely.

    I have an OUT today. Gifted my Charles Worthington Full Blown Body hair to my cousin. I had used it a few times and it just didn't produce any results on my hair. No body, still very fine and certainly no volume. So WNBA as it was a waste of money.

    I had my hair cut and coloured today and I am really pleased with it. I am off on a night out tonight and my best friend has arrived with a yummy take away dinner from my fav resturant to kick start the night. Yum Yum :T

    I did ask for my hair to be styled differently for tonight so it is up an to one side ( I have short hair with a long side bit). Really liking it and looks a bit glam.

    Also managed a spot of fake tanning last night but I am still looking a bit pale.

    Had a few ins today and a few outs.

    In - Charles Worthington Hair Serum - must have won that as it came in the post
    In and straight back Out - Charles Worthington dry shampoo in the same envelope as above - will be taking that to work and offer it free to a good home as I don't use dry shampoo
    In - Dove Shampoo, only cost 27p using offer and coupon so couldn't not buy!
    Out - Soap and Glory bubble bath. WBA although it did seem a bit stuck in the bottle as it's been on the go for a long time.

    Hope you all have a good Saturday night!

    went to boots for new mascara today and ended up also buying 6 packs of the boots essential wipes!! they were 3 for £3 though so a bargain and i am on my last pack at the moment.

    erm then i was wondering around superdrug and saw the vitamin e hot cloth cleanser was £1.49 and thought it was too much of a bargain not to grab. but then when i went to pay it came up as £2.99. turns out they had been put in the wrong place but they only charged me the £1.49 for it so was pleased

    Quick post to update another UU - Tan Towel. Yes I WBA - really handy size to carry round for a quick tan top up. None left in my stash now :(.

    Also PYON tonight with Rimmel Serene which is a lovely pearly white colour.

    A small UU from yday - Loreal Sublime Mousse Conditioner (from the hair dye) - love this conditioner, especiallly as you get a decent amount for 5 uses at least.

    Also did a quick PYTN last night - rimmel pop rose colour (bright pink)

    Good morning ladies. Belated Birthday wishes to Charlie. And to Sarah it's good news about LD - glad his surgery was a success.

    Went to Cheshire Oaks yesterday and was very good. Emma needed new trainers for school so got these and also a Speedo swimming costume reduced to £5.00. That particular shop is closing down though so will be last bargain we get from there.

    I was very good. Mainly because MrM and I had THAT conversaton last week about money and my !!!!less spending! Anyway, I went into the L'Occitane shop and came away with nothing. We are on the last bottle of Verbena liquid soap but the only available way of buying it from there yesterday was a pack of 4 eco refills at a cost of £25.00 and whilst it is :money: compared to the cost of one bottle I didn't have the £25.00 available so left it there. Did buy some CDs from the cheapie music store there though.

    Reading back I see that MSE has censored one of my words. The "!!!less" word ryhmes with reckless and began with an "f". Deary me this is political correctness gone mad! :)

    Went to Boots at The Colisseum. You could have all warned me that the £5.00 No.7 vouchers are being released again. Those things breed don't they? I only wanted a bottle of Botanics Rose Water toner and ended up coming out with more - yes Emma was with me again. She needed deodarant (got a 25% off ticket from the kiosk), then I ended up buying her a Witch Stick for blemishes, a bottle of OS Chocolate and Mint shower gel and 2 x No7 mascaras with 2 of the vouchers (as MrM had bought some razor blades and got one with his purchase). Of course I then ended up with another voucher after this little lot had been tilled up. When I got home though and looked at the receipt to see what Advantage Points I had I noticed that they hadn't charged us for the deodorant at all but had taken the voucher off.
    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!

    Also PYND yesterday, Nails Inc Caramel :)

    I've got 4 INs: Simple Travel Companion set, containing their face wipes (none in stash), hydrating light moisturizer 50 ml (too many in stash), refreshing facial wash gel 50 ml, and soothing facial toner 50 ml (halfway through my last toner now).

    Some quick-fix use ups:
    Clinique Moisture Surge tinted moisturizer sachet. WNBA - it's too radiant and expensive. I moved onto a homemade tinted moisturizer (mixed with an old mineral foundation that's too dark) and it's loads better.
    Shue Uemura Deepsea lotion sachet - I was expecting a moisturizer and it was a toner. I think it might be just a very expensive water, there was too little to see any effect.

    After reading the great review's of Aldi's perume went out to try their perfume but couldn't find any insotore. Is it only large shops that have it or could it have sold out? SA said they didn't stock perfume :(
    Life is a coin, you can spend it anyway you wish, but you can only spend it once.
    Go as far as you can see, and when you get there you'll see further.
    Take time but don't waste time
