  • Hello
    I also have a QVC beauty habit so thought that I could add £5 to the SPC for every TSV/OTO I manage to resist to help my no buying unnecessary toiletries challenge!

    Kiplingmonkey that's a great idea - although, the thought of £5 into the pot for all of the OTO's I WILL resist on beauty day is making me think I may need to go to the bank and withdraw cash first :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Not quite the way things should be, but I'm with you on the TSV front - baby steps.....:D

    :D I hope so Sue! Just hope four rolls will be enough, as she is so young the presents are still large. Had to rush out last minute last year as had run out of paper! The four rolls should have been / were £1.50 a roll before Christmas so it was 75% off. The rolls are 5m each jakes-mum, so maybe they are smaller than yours, or yours could have been more expensive to start with...? Hope that makes you feel better :rotfl:

    Either way better than having to pay £2.50 per roll later on in the year hey! But tomorrow, I will leave my purse at home and be a good girl :D

    Oooo yes it does, mine were 10 metre rolls so im still the bargain queen :D:rotfl: no-one outdoes jakesmum on the bargain hunting :rotfl:
