    Certainly is a great feeling to use up something and then pop £1 into the pot and see the total grow instead of stockpiling things like shampoo and washing up liquid and so on!

    I will allow myself to buy the new issue of Glamour with the free Benefit makeup. I'm after the That Gal primer. So far I've been to 4 shops and only found the Porefessional and Bad Gal mascara. I resisted these as I don't need them:A I already have some of them in stock:o but I'd love to try the That Gal if I can find it. And I love reading Glamour:)

    HI Everyone,

    Ohh Magni - that's quite tempting. I have porefessional but I too wanted to try the primer. I'd be interested in what you think!

    It's been far too long since I last posted. I can't even remember what I told you! I've not been doing well on the walking since we got back from hols!

    In terms of use ups, I have been keeping a little update in my spending diary. Recently, I have used up:
    - 2 x body lotions
    - Night cream
    - night cream (sample)
    - deodrant
    - cleanser
    - mini toothpaste sample
    - normal toothpast tube
    - a bottle of body oil and
    - more cotton wool!

    All together, I should have £19 in my pot for used cosmetics and beauty stuff. I still have loads to go! I really need to get back to using my nail things as I have absolutely tonnes of polishes - all from more frivolous days!

    Off to put dinner together now.

    Urg I still haven't managed to track down a Glamour with That Gal in it. I'm thinking they don't exist:rotfl: I have now been to about 15 shops and they all have the other 2 but not That Gal:( I don't think this is a cooincidence. I have now given up. Maybe I'll buy it when I next need a primer but I've still got a few to get through:o

    Used up a 400ml cleanser and 400ml toner which have been on the go for a long time. Onto the last one of each now and these were bought pre challenge days when I splurged all the time.

    Once these have gone then its onwards and upwards to be released from the past

    Used up a fabric conditioner yesterday so another £ in the pot:j

    I got my hair cut yesterday which is expensive in itself but normally afterwards I would treat myself with some new makeup in Debenhams. a new haircut means a new look which means new makeup. Yesterday I did go into to Debenhams but was able to walk out again without buying anything:A I enjoyed looking but I really felt that there was nothing else that I needed and I feel so much better for it. I paid for my haircut in cash too. Normally I would've used a credit card:T

    I bought a latte in McDs today. It's the first time in about a week that I've had one and I really enjoyed it. I'm happy enough to have cut down the latte spend dramatically though. Not sure if I could go the full 100 days without having to buy one:eek:

    I've used up a sample size of Clinique DDML and I've almost finished a Clinique All About Eyes. £1 in the pot now and another one to follow very soon:T
