Ok... so much for no buying in February, received email from Groupon with a deal for £12 for £30 worth of Green People products. Deals on organic/natural products don't come by often so I gave in

Purchased
Body Comfort Lotion
Foaming Anti-bac Face Wash
Roll On Deodorant

RRP £36.85, paid £12.48 total. I love bargains!

An IN for me too. OPI Save Me nail polish, in the bottle it is a sparkly, cheerful, OTT holographic glitter, just looking at it cheers me up on this very chilly evening. TBH nail polish is not, for me, really included in this challenge. I will re-purpose colours that I no longer like, but will indulge myself from time to time.

The moisturiser, hand cream and skin care stash is another matter, if I buy there please send me straight to the naughty step.

What a coincidence! I just got this today as well as a belated birthday gift from an American friend It really is a lovely holographic glitter polish!

This month I propose to only buy completely necessary items (unless of course its a real bargain or freebie), and I aim to get at least 7 UUs.

Thanks trudij for the new thread and congrats lynseydee on your news!

January was an epic fail for me - only my UU total redeemed me. Still, no trips to the Uk this month and the sales have finished, so I'm hoping for no INs.

First UU of the month - Dove cream 30ml. Quite thick, used as a foot cream, WNBA.

Hi ladies!

Another UU: Body Shop Coconut Body Scrub (sample).

WIBA? I like TBS body scrubs, but I wouldn't buy the coconut one for me - it's just not me.

It was one that came with the papaya one I maligned as smelling like 'sick' last month. I said I felt that it might have gone off slightly: it had. So had this one. (Sorry, papaya, I'm sure you are lovely normally! :whistle:)

I topped the body scrub up with some of the passionfruit one I have. The effect on the cell...the tops of my legs was amazing. Must. Use. More. Often!

Count me in again please!

I had 11 UU in Jan, and only 2 INs - success :j:j

1st Feb UU - Aveda Damage Remedy shampoo. WIBA? Yes, it's a fave.

Thank you to Trudij for starting the new thread and to lynseydee on the new arrival.

Being part of the January thread really helped me think before I bought.

I was really pleased that the Avon and !!!!!!!! catalogues came and went without purchases.

I keep a spreadsheet of my stash which has 450 rows in it- aiming to cut that to at least 250 - was hoping for the end of the year ,but recording UU's makes me realise how look some things take to finish!!

I don't think February will be a no in's month as I have a birthday. At least I can make it a no buy month hopefully, although I would like a new night cream. & we do need toothpaste!

Good luck everyone

Jarus xx
