    I am going to have to log off. That TBS offer is nagging away at me. My 200ml tub of TBS Coconut body butter is spluttering. Reckon there is enough left to do my legs only next time and I do have a box of 5 x 50ml Boots Extracts body butters in my stash but I really really want to try the chocomania one! The problem is that by the time I have spent enough to quality for the first discount I may has well have "spent" £60.00 for the next discount level! Ah need to be strong.

    Gonna go and do some ironing! x
    Back for the No Buying Toiletries challenge. I pledge to only buy when I run out of a product that is not already in my stash no matter what wonderful emails land in in my Inbox or threads I read on MSE re: glitches!

    A few INs from today and yesterday:
    Aldi Lacura Aqua-Complete moisturiser, I tried it this morning and I really like it.. smells lovely, not too heavy and was only £1.99 so very pleased with this.
    Collection 2000 Hot Looks nail polish in Wham, nice colour and was only 50p!! from Poundworld yes it is possible to spend less than a pound in there. :D
    Sally Hansen Maximum Growth nail polish in Vanilla Whimsy, really pleased with this as I was looking at it on fragrancedirect but found it in Poundworld. If you are a nail polish addict like me, try Poundworld (or Poundland, but I didn't go in today) they had No7, Revlon, Sally Hansen, Collection 2000, Miss Sporty, Rimmel and some unknown brands.

  • One OUT over the weekend - Sainsbury's Cranberry Twist Shower Creme. WBA as it smelt nice and lathered up well.
