No to buying unnecessary toiletries in September!

Flirtini_2

Hello lovelies - I am back from my epic Australia trip and am definitely in for this month!!
There was some falling off the wagon last month with some inevitable holiday buys (both to take with me, and then a couple of thinsgbought out there - but I don't regret them as I have now discovered Cetaphil cleanser which I can't buy in the UK, and Clarins Ultra Matte moisturiser - which together are doing some marvellous things to my skin!)

Just a quick :j - Australia was a success in that my boyfriend now has his work visa and will be coming back this weekend - and can stay for another 3 years! Let the flat hunting commence - very excited!! And I have now met the parents, they fortunately are very lovely and seem to like me - his mother took me shopping and bought me a beautiful dress so that must bode well.

EH - sending positive vibes for your OH's aunt. Big hug xxx

Right, so, I have decided to start again with September, so here's my stash as it stands. I make it a tad shy of 400 bottles/pots etc, and those in red are the ones I am determined will have left my stash by the end of this month (53 potential UUs).

I think I clearly have a particular problem with moisturisers (from trying to find one that works!) and hair products (because these for some reason make me feel like I'm treating myself!)

I think originally when I tried to think what my ideal minimalist bathroom would be like, I got it down to a max of 40ish items. Fingers crossed...

UU- Ahava mineral body lotion- WIBA? No, got this in the August glosy box. Very runny and very highly perfumed. I prefer body butters.
Does anybody know when the current NO7 voucher offer finishes? Need to fit in a trip this week for eye make up remover while the vouchers are available

It's Sunday.
I know this because I was in browsing Boots today checked the ACM and there was £2 off lipstick or mascara, got 8 vouchers printed then used them against Natural Collection mascara and lipgloss, all were £1.99 so I got them free!! :T

Thanks so much for all your good wishes. Sadly OH's Aunt died at 3pm. Very subdued in the EH house this evening.

I'm very sorry to hear that, EH. Huge hugs to you :grouphug:

trudij

Oh EH - how sad, very very sorry for you all

trudij

Flirtini - welcome back, glad it went well !! think we need to see the dress...

No UU for me, though I do have to confess to buying SHOUT magazine (at least I thinhk thats what its called) - cos its got a crackle nail varnish on the front - I got a purply pink with a black crackle..... not got any crackle nail varnishes though - so think i might just get away with it....

Sorry to but in everyone, but I desperately need some more participants for my masters thesis. Appears that I have lost a large amount of data somewhere and I'm panicking now! The link is HERE and it will take about 10 mins tops! Thank you all who help me out!

Just got back onto this after catching up with work following my weekend break. I've filled it out. What a horrible panic for you, every sympathy with that. My old pc threw several major wobblers when I completed my dissertation during a heatwave. I literally still have nightmares every so often about this.
No UU's though I had anticipated a couple of small ones.
I haven't read the rest of the thread, as this caught my eye first, back to that.

EH, I am so very sorry. She was clearly much loved. Wishing all who loved her strength and comfort.
