    Just wondered if I'm weird......but once I've got ready for bed, I choose a perfume or body spray to put on. Its not even for romantic reasons....I just like to smell nice while drifting off to sleep.

    Welcome to all newbies, it's great to have you on board. :wave:

    I have 3 UU's today:
    Sample sachet of EL Resiliance lift, wouldn't buy again didn't do anything for me.

    Heathcote & Ivory apple and Lotus blossom hand cream, this was ok to use but I have a couple of other hand creams to use first.

    A small bottle of shower gel from a hotel, I have asked my OH not to bring home anymore shower gels and soaps from hotels they are just cluttering up the bathroom. Thankfully most of my stock from hotels are gone now.
    No toiletries challenge, started 18/1/2010 - Putting £1 in my savings jar for every item that I use up. Pot 1 to 4 = £261. Pot 5=£23
    Boots points:£39.21. Extra money in 2012:£674.59. In 2013 £603.48. 2014: £85. 2015: £0 :j

    i went a bit mad getting hotel travel sizes from the states in summer. i now have a whole separate stash just for those!

    in my defence, it was L'Occitaine Verbena stuff and Aveda that I've since worked out i got enough of everything to give me the amount of a full size bottle of each product and its worth like £100 :rotfl: DH thought i was crazy.

    on the plus side, I'm all ready to go with little bottles for the gym :T

    Looking for a bit of advice, not had my hair cut for about 7/8 months, it was short but is now getting too long and scraggily.
    My friend used to cut it but she has moved away, I don't have much to spend and don't have time to sit in a hairdressers for several hours either. I really quite dislike the basins in the hairdressers, can I wash my hair at home and go into my local hairdresser for a haircut rather than having to pay for a cut/blow dry? I don't know if that's cheeky?:o

    2 UU today (my first from joining weeeeee) neither too exciting, one was just a toothpaste (sensodyne whitening) wouldnt buy again tbh as the foamyness and the taste wasnt really for me. The other was my Christina Aguilera perfume which I will buy again once I have used my other perfumes up. I actually love that perfume and it was my 3rd bottle of it... but having it stops me using up the other ones so will hold off before buying again :)
