Next in line is the 'saved for Winter' Aldi Hydro Urea Body Butter that I so loved using last year. This is a special, last year it was available around Mother's Day and I ended up with 2.

I had to grit my teeth when using disappointing (and more expensive) products not to open this one. I really do rate it.

Aldi opens in my town later this year after a lonnggg delay, :j I know I bang on about their products but why wouldn't I when they are so good?

Oh really? I always look at the procucts in Aldi but I never take the plunge, what else do you rate?

Not that I'm buying :eek:

Seriously, how do you stop yourself because I'm supposed to be being good and it's not going well!:( I feel a bit guilty now.

IN
Gok Gorgeous hand balm
Gok gorgeous spray on moisturiser
only £3.98 for them both though so I'm not going to feel too guilty

Also bought a 59p hairspray, but only to stop dd from using my shockwaves to spray her artwork with!


To those talking about the Superdrug dry shampoo - dd uses the orange one sometimes and reckons its pretty good.

Fanny, easiest way to not buy is to leave the purse at home when you are going near temptation - ive taken to doing this when I go to work lol. i currently have 4 no.7 vouchers still burning holes in my purse but I am holding off as long as I can before using them! (I have no doubt I will use them before they expire though as with discount the products I will pick will cost me buttons!)

I'm worse with online shopping .

I have more INs since my last post:o. I'm a hopeless case! Put me in the corner and don't speak to me!

I suck at this [/QUOTE]

But You have got some lovely stuff.
I think as long as you use it and get pleasure and the benefits of the products then that is just great. But if you stockpile it and then it goes off before you use it. Or if you are getting into debt for it then it needs addressing. From one who is addressing those issues:o

Sales addict, thats very true and actually my stash was getting very low so I think I went a bit crazy. I was on my last showergel and my last body lotion and now I have a few winging their merry way to me so they will start to be used soon.

I do need to save for a shopping trip in February and I also need to get out of my overdraft so I'm feeling a bit guilty and I really don't need anything now and also no shopping trips until feb anyway so just need to keep away from online shopping.

i keep adding things to my watch list on ebay, and then feel extremely guilty and then delete them.
This is getting to be tiresome LOL!

Must....resist.....lol!
Is anyone else going through this?

Ah don't be like that. That's what this thread is for.
We wouldn't need it if we all didn't have such a problem.

Did I mention I bought a lovely foundation from the Topshop range of make up? £10. I have loads of other foundations by Stila and Ysl that I should have used up first but I just can't resist the texture, scent and lovely coverage of this one.

So you are not alone on the naughty step.:)
