    Helen1971 that is really good news. :T I am so glad there was a positive outcome, I don't feel that I could do anything like that I'm afraid. Mine too has shouted at me, swore at me, threatened me, insulted me (all in front of others) and yet no one will back me up.
    Everyone knows its happening and they can't belive I am putting up with it but I have little choice.
    You may recall that I had my shopping stolen at work, well I've had a HR investigation which was started by the line manager of the person who stole my shopping. :mad::( I didn't do anything wrong but now it's turned around to make it completely my fault. I do not trust HR for one minute.

    I have some Ins which I declare once I've caught up with this thread.

  • After a slow start to February, the UU are now starting to come in a steady flow -

    Osiris Exfoliating face wipes, WBA, really cheap and do the job nicely, not at all scratchy like some exfoliating wipes can be

    Ed Hardy Hearts & Daggers Shimmering body lotion - really wasn't shimmering but other than that was lovely, quite an unusual fragrance, sharp somehow but not too floral - OH made a comment on how nice it was! WBA although I'm at a loss as to where this came from, think it must have been a gift

    And finally an IN - Boots Vitamin E face wipes, was all out of wipes and although I do mean to use proper cleanser or makeup remover more often as plenty in stash, when I'm in a hurry in the mornings in particular just find wipes much easier. Not used these before so looking forward to seeing what they're like, also bought some Rimmel Stay Matte face powder (don't count comestics in my stash as that'd open a real can of worms!) so spend £6 odd and got a £5 No. 7 voucher so will most probably spend that on the No. 7 four in one wipes although I'm massively impressed with the Exceptional Definition mascara I got in the hat box before Christmas, the first of their mascaras that I've really rated, so I might just get one of those instead as its getting a bit dry now.

    Did pretty well to only come away with an IN or two today as have been to Chester and all the various temptations there :T

    Feeling realy low, it was my birthday yesterday and only one of my facebook friends said happy birthday :( still feeling miserable today and fed up. Just feel like the last 1o years have passed me by, made some bad decisions with ex boyfriends and got stuck in rut. I have a really lovely BF now but I think that I've wasted so many years and not made any progress or achievements.

    Went to BS to redeem my birthday gift, I also had a £10 off a £25 spend, 4th £5 stamp and thought I could use the 40% off buying 4 items voucher that I'd received by email. Couldn't use the 40% but ended up with 8 shower gels, 3 for 2 on lip butter and 3 for 2 on lip balm and spend £11.60 so not too bad I suppose although I don't need any of it! :o

    I know what you mean about bad decisions, but sometimes I think the universe lets you make a *smaller* bad decision as a warning, so that you can potentially avoid a bigger bad decision when the stakes are higher.

    Asset2004 happy birthday for yesterday
  • Hello everyone :) I'm going to catch up on the last few pages as soon as I write this post. I've been so busy working 2 jobs that I haven't even had time to shop for anything. yikes!

    So no UU's to report as of yet, but tons of splutterers as per usual.

    I have some IN's but I did not buy them, so I'm doing really well with no purchasing of unnecessary toiletries. I'm really happy that I'm sticking to this challenge. Once I get my stash list down to a reasonable size, I think I'm going to treat myself to a very expensive bottle of perfume lol

    INS:

    Yardley's rose shower gel
    Yardley's rose body lotion
    Yardley's rose hand and nail cream
    Yardley's rose body spray

    Frankly, I'm not a fan of the rose scent myself.
    No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries Challenge
    TOTAL UU's in 2012: 588
    Total UU's in 2013: 210
    INS for 2013 starting March: 8
  • Happy Birthday for yesterday Asset! X

    UU Molton Brown pink paradisic shower gel WBA if the price was right, I do think it's overpriced for what it is but they do smell lovely! Onto a Dove mini.

    Has anyone here had the HD Brows done? Wondered what your thoughts were on it?

  • Happy Birthday Asset, for yesterday! Have a dodgy hug :grouphug:

    Well I've got two more UUs:
    Aussie Miracle Frizz Shampoo & Conditioner, wba possible HG, it's very unusual for me to finish both at the same time as I usually go through a tonne of conditioner, and even though you get less conditioner than shampoo, i really like it. I love the fragrance :)

    And a swap:
    Herbal Essences Hello Hydration conditioner because I had two for a Toni & Guy Cleanse Brunette Shampoo

    Need to go stash shopping now!
