No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries in November Challenge
Comments

Hi all
My first UU! Nivea light touch body lotion....only a 30ml one, but I don't care - I've never used up a body lotion before...ever..... *skips around the room*. WIBA? Nothing against it, but it's nothing special. Now onto the full sized ones - so daunting in their full-sizeyness...I barely remember to moisturise my face, so they're gonna last years!

Sold a eyeshadow on ebay (famous by sue moxley merged in shade 2), UU: simple night cream WIBA? no just a average moisturizer a bit greasy though, sex in the city showergel came in a cheap gift set wouldn't repurchase, I care 5 in 1 eye make up remover wipes (dried up). Ins: aussie 3 minute miracle deconstructer (1/2 price), batiste dry shampoo (1/2 price) blistex relief cream (really needed this thanks to the heating being turned on my lips are so dry and sore!), lipcote (had a voucher), superdrug colour effects wash in wash out conditioning colour in warm chocolate brown x2.0

Another UU. Sainsbury's Baby Wipes.
WIBA? Well, to be honest, I didn't buy them in the first place, but I was using them instead of face wipes and they were a bit stingy on the face, so no.
One down, many to go.Please call me 'Pickle'

Good middle of the night ladies.
I am still up having a freak out about my packing STILL not finished and I fly out tomorrow. This is not good. I have decided for clarity of the mind I will take some time out to regroup, post on here and then sort a plan of attack after I few hours kip.
I did have a UU tonight - my Nivea facial wipes which I like as they are for combo skin.
I have sorted out the toliteries for my holiday and only need to add in a few things after I use them in the morning. Have taken a good few minis with me so here wishing for some UU action.
See you all in two and a half weeks time. Even if I do win big in Vegas I will still pop in to say hello and declaire my winnings have all been spent at Bed, Bath & Beyond , Sephoria and Saks :rotfl:No buying toiletries Graduated May 2017Decluttered 2016 2469 items, 2017 1580 items :j2018 3060 itemsSealed Pot Challenge No 0380 -
If you read this, Fiasco, safe journeys and a lovely time. Good luck with the gambling!
Interesting few days, I went to see Jimmy Cricket in a show locally last night - last minute thing when a friend was saddled with a ticket they couldn't shift. Well, it was absolutely brilliant, far, far better than I expected. He's a legend, so funny and no blue jokes and smut in sight. I was in tears laughing and my face hurt. The support acts were great too.
Spookily as I walked in I was asked if I was me by the wife of the producer of the show. I'd babysat for her over twenty years ago. She'd remembered my full name which nobody ever does. What a memory. It's not as if I saw a lot of her, I'm pretty sure it was only 4 evenings.
A UU to report. Bodylisshuss Body Butter in Cocoa 200g (Poundland)
WIBA? No, not this one, though the range is excellent - every bit as good as those costing a lot more. It is VERY chocolatey, if you love smelling of chocolate you will absolutely adore this. I discovered I didn't like smelling of chocolate as much as I thought I would. Next time I buy one, it will be the coconut, I think, that one is lovely. Lots more to use though, a strawberry BB from the same range is on the last quarter, plus an unopened Aldi Lacura Pure range. And the butters my friend gave me a few weeks ago.Erma Bombeck, American writer: "If I had my life to live over again... I would have burned the pink candle, sculptured like a rose, that melted in storage." Don't keep things 'for best' - that day never comes. Use them and enjoy them now.0 -
Argh I forgot to tag myself onto this months challenge! I'm in! Need to look at the stash and try to write it all down! My main problem is the makeup stash. I think I'm going to give myself another year to find what I really like and then chuck what I don't and start afresh in 2013!Emergency Fund - £8572.39 / £10,000 :: Mortgage OP 2025 - £LISA 24/25 - £3200 / £4000 :: NSD 2025 - 2 / 150 :: Books Read: 1 / 52 :: Decluttering - 4 / 1000Engaged 9th December 2010 :: Married 29th October 2015 :: Bought a House 13th January 20170

Hello ladies,
Sorry I have been awol this month, haven't posted at all. Had a death in the family so have been over to England 4 times in as many weeks.
Hence not much action with my stash, no UUs this month so far and 3 INs, airport frustration purchases!
Nails Inc - freebie with InStyle
Clinique lipgloss - had the mini one free with Glamour and was quite impressed, so bought the full size
Cerutti edt 30ml - my HG perfume and by handbag sized one is getting low, so this one was justified!
Am going to catch up on all your news, hope everyone is well!Do nothing in haste; look well to each step; and from the beginning think what may be the end - Edward Whymper0
