No buying unnecessary toiletries in April - Challenge

scrappie_2

over 20 of LG's

Fiasco -I'm in LG envy. So far I don't have any - I bought the last TSV, it was a lovely polka dot design, but sent it back when I realised it would not fit over my shoulder as the handles were just that little bit too short.

I do however have many bags by Coach - not so popular here in the UK, but big in the USA. First UK store opening in London this yr, so may just have to pay a little visit, just for a look..........

Zoe.

Hugs to Lilly!

UU

Emma Hardie Amazing Face Sculpting Serum, 10ml- WNBA - I actually love serums.......and i loved this one the smell is divine and it tightens up my face...too damm expensive though

I have this one from the LIB box, have some other stuff to use first, think I may set aside some things for a pamper weekend.

Watched the LD TSV, and altho' it looked fun, nothing in there that I really wanted. I am hoping I can avoid the temptation of the forthcoming Elemis one, as I have at least 9 months supply of skincare products, except may have to buy some Gommage/facial scrub in a few weeks. Some serious stash organisation needed so I can see exactly what I have.

Have a great weekend everyone.:)

Rosemary John Bishop is one of my heroes, he's the Scouse observational comedian who did a triathlon for Sport Relief and also did an extraordinarily moving piece from Sierra Leone that was broadcast, bringing in huge amounts of cash.

A UU, the second 250g tub of Aldi Hydro Urea 10% Body Butter that I had from last year. WIBA? Well, it hasn't appeared this year. It didn't rub particularly well but it did moisturise well and was fragrance free too. If I see it again, I'll get it, but it isn't a HG as other products do go on more easily - even if they do cost a lot more too.

OUT

OPI Metallic Blue, 3.75 - Twigged it is a fake. One of the ones bought from Ebay. Compared it with my Muppets ones and the bottle is a completely different size and i tried it on three nails, went on horribly and stained my cuticles and it absolutly stinks. Also doesn't have a ref num on the bottom!
First fake ever :P

Hugs lilly1972, wrt your nausea, have you tried ginger in anything? It's supposed to be good at keeping nausea at bay. Port and ginger beer used to be offered as an aperitif in the old day or ginger wine. They are supposed to be appetite stimulants too.
Good luck with the fortisips, they do a compact version now in a mocha flavour and I believe you can freeze them to try and make them more palatable.
No movers or shakers for me at the moment. I did paint my toenails last night though, a lovely metallic tangerine colour

Morning all, just a quick post to say I am still on the wagon - nothing in since the first week of April. wading through my UU. Ginger vanilla and pink pepper body scrub - it is akin to slathering molten ice cream on your body, it warms slightly and then feels a little chalky. Would definately not buy again. working my way through half used bottles of perfume. My 2 faves are empty, but not buying any more until I have used the others.
Handcream and body butters seem to be my latest craze - loads of half used tubes of soap & glory, so no need to buy any more.
great to hear everyones stories.
have a great day all

Happy Friday everyone - as Chris Evans said this morning - may the power of John Bishop go with you...

err sorry to sound thick but who is John Bishop?

Haven't read all the thread so don't know if anyone has answered but John Bishop is a comedian. He used to have his own show called Bishop's Britain (from memory) and he stars on A League of their Own on Sky 1.

[I'm feeling a lot better today - had a productive meeting with my manager and things are moving forward, but I'm thinking this may well be a slow process. Thanks to all of you for your support:D

I now need to turn of 'the Q' and remind myself that I do not need tonights Lulu Guinness TSV - regardless of what it may be. I have done very well today and not ordered the LD TSV, as I can't wear varnish for work, I really don't see the point. Mimi breakthrough there me thinks:j:j:j

Hi scrappie. Glad that things a little more positive at work. Even if it's a slow process you have taken the first step.

Just had a look at the LG bag and though it's gorgeous I'd be seriously in the dog house if I suggested spending that amount of cash at the mo on a bag. Saw a tiny snippet of the LD TSV yesterday and was not very impressed. It used to be the way that I'd think to myself before hand that I didn't like the colours (having usually seen photos of the kit previous to it airing) then when I saw them on air I'd be converted and "needed" them all. Not anymore. I think my liking of LD products as a whole is coming to an end. Most of the time I find them boring. I think OPI and China Glaze are more innovative. Roll on the OPI TSV is all I can say.

My sister is a huge Coach fan also. I had a look at their outlet when I was in the US last October and was going to buy her one but the choice was overwhelming plus as it was a surprise for her I couldn't ask which ones she had already so gave up on it as there was no way of her returning it if I got it wrong. Bought her a lovely leather Tommy Hilfiger one instead which she loves.

I've decided that I'm not going to bother with the Elemis TSV. I'm drowning in bath products as it is and don't want to add to the stash.
