No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries in January 2012 Challenge!

VALM - pop both Avon books outside the door together - that way whichever person is meant to be repping your street will know that someone else is territory-nicking and can deal with it. Reps book-dropping on territory that isn't their own is a big problem - it's really not fair on the rep who's been given the territory so she'll want to know about it!

Had to smile at the hotel toiletries discussion - whenever we stay anywhere it's usually Travelodge so the best you can hope for is a little packet of soap! :rotfl:

watched superscrimpers but don't think I will be copying the woman who froze her credit card:rotfl:

the friend who arranged the church coffee morning called today to ask me to do a stall a week early so kitchen full of flower arrangements plus the marmalade and bowls of bulbs AND I had to spend an hour or so making aposter on paintbox:eek:....hope the stuff sells:rotfl:

Not to tempt anybody, but the Christmas Philosophy sets were reduced further when I went in on Saturday. The individual minis (only Peppermint Bark left) were £2.50 (got them cheaper on glitch before Christmas), the Cranberry Joy was £5 and Fun in the Frosty Air was £8. I obviously have enough shower gel for a good while, so did not purchase (though obviously being the addict I am I was tempted )

Was that in Boots? I love philosphy - I don't need anything but a walk tomorrow lunchtime would be good exercise and I could just sniff and not buy - or could I?????

In LIB renew and recover box with Dove hair conditioner and this works moisturiser. Had to google the cosmetofruit as I wasn't sure what to do with it! I have to say it doesn't look to appetising but I think it may be an over priced vitamin supplement.

Hope my You box turns up as it was dispatched the same time as this one.

Evening everyone! Just 1 UU to report:

S&G Hand Food - WBA, it's a nice hand cream. Now on to my little korean penguin one. It's the last one in the stash so I will need to buy more soon!

Good luck with you homemade goodies stall Rosemary. I am also quite shocked at the bagage costs for Ryanair. I haven't flown with them in three years but what a jump in price.

I have another UU - No7 Quick Thinking wipes. WBA but only with a voucher.

It has been a bumper month for me getting through the stash and poss the best in over a year.

I must get back into my daily body moisturising routine as it has been neglected due to my tiredness in the morning (must go to bed earlier).

evening all,

I have another uu, probably the last this month: simple bodywash, what can I say, it did the job, but I prefer shower gel to have a nice scent even though it doesn't last.

happy pampering, xx

The final UU of the month to report - TBS Moringa Body Scrub - WIBA? no, I felt exactly as someone else recently said about this, it smelt nice, but didn't feel effective. I got it as part of a bargainous shop with that Groupon voucher last year IIRC - so ended up with something like 5 shower gels, a BB, the scrub and some soap for my £12.50 voucher. I'll need to shop in the stash for my next one, but I have a feeling it might be a S&G one.

It was Boots

UU
Lush Flying Fox Shower Gel 100ml: WIBA? Yes, if I ever finish my stash (and stop adding to it unnecessarily!) I got this in a gift set last year. It smells lovely I should add it's described as for when you want to feel sexy, with its aphrodisiac essential oils, yet it also says "You can use Flying Fox at any time of the month, but it’s especially good at The Time of the Month, because we’ve added the top essential oils for calming PMT."

I TA to end the month, Sally Hansen Insta-Dry top coat, it is quite old, looks OK, but this morning lifted some of the colour as I applied it. Finger nails now Leighton Zero Gravity, Toes Zoya Blyss.
