    And - Glad the horrible weather missed you. As soon as I saw it on the news I rang our local council to get a blocked drain outside our house cleaned as even though we don't live in a flood area it can still happen with this mad weather. At least some of the rain would have somewhere to go then.

    Am going to get in the shower soon and am hoping for at least one uu but have a funny feeling it may hang on.

    Has anyone won anything in the Glamour mag BS giveaway?

    I have a few more uu's just as it is coming up to the end of the month :D

    LE C&P - wnba, this was ok but not as good as I was expecting
    Hand Food - wnba, I have a few more in the stash to repace this one. Also it took me so long to use this I was bored with the scent by the end.
    V05 shampoo/conditioner sachet - wba, it was quite nice and left my hair feeling lovely
    Herbal Essences shampoo/conditioner sachet - wnba, I hated the smell of this.

    Hope you had a lovely birthday Willowbee :)

    Big hugs Rosemary, I having a really hard time in my marriage at the moment too so I know a little about it. Hope you're ok :(. The key is to be kind to yourself regardless of how they treat you.

    Finally got round to sorting out my stash list for the month.

    UU:
    Pantene Repair & Protect conditioner (free sample) - Really nice smell and my hair felt silky. Have a bottle of the shampoo in my stash.
    M&S Simply Divine Eau De Toilette - a really gorgeous smell, not usually something I'd have but it was a present. WBA,
    Simple gentle hair shampoo - OK, gentle on my hair but didn't smell of much. I have another bottle in the stash.
    Palmer’s Cocoa butter formula - a long-term splutterer!! Bought 3 yrs ago in the mistaken belief it would 'tone' my wobbly thighs. It didn't. It had gone off I think but I used up the last of the bottle anyway :D. Do any of these products actually work?!

    IN:
    Paco Rabanne Million Lady (sample) - already in use, loving it. Not a perfume I would usually go for but may have to buy it!
    Montague Jeunesse Very Berry Masque (won in Glamour comp)
    Joules bath fizzes pack of 4 (won at school fete, although one of the fizzes is unwrapped...)
    Palmer’s cocoa butter (sample in magazine)
    Pantene Repair & Protect Conditioner (sample in magazine)
    Garnier Ultralift 14 day sample set (free)
    A Vogel Atrogel Arnica Gel (Ebay) - thanks to Willowbee's recommendation! :D Bought to combat my evil spots, not sure it's working though...

    Spend for month - £4.45 (on the arnica gel)
    Stash reduced from 203 to 199.

    Not related to my stash but I was rummaging through the reduced section at Wilkos yesterday and found some bottles of their kids' sparkly strawberry toothpaste. 62p normally, 75% off so got 3 bottles for 46p! :D Don't know how good a product it is but hopefully little one will use it.

    My exam is next tuesday! See you in July folks :T

    Have what I think will be my final uu for the month. My Body Shop Ice Blue shampoo had gone, a while back I said I was chucking it but I was using it with the remains of a L'oreal Full Restore conditioner and my hair felt really dry, when that finished I moved onto a Superdrug Brunette Conditioner and it felt better. So i am feeling very :money:for not throwing it out. No need to rush out and buy shampoo as I have plenty in, am moving onto a couple of sachets then some little mini bottles.

  • Happy birthday for yesterday willowbee, sounds like you had a great day!

    Hugs to anyone who needs them

    I don't think I will have any more UU today so I have ended up with equal ins and UU this month, thats not how the challenge is meant to work! Apart from a bargain mascara I have already ordered from Avon I really don't need anything next month, so I solemnly declare that July will be a no spend month. Keep me right ladies!

    Also I am going to London for a week in August and I've heard there's a fair few shops there so really need a good month before then :rotfl:

    Happy belated birthday willowbee!

    I have some INs from the past week or so which were Lush lemony flutter cuticle butter as I'm sick of my dry hands and this seems to be doing the trick, and a clean and clear cleanser as my clearasil one in the bathroom is at the cutting open stage. I now have enough pots for a free face mask so might use another pot for the cuticle butter and get a face mask as I feel like a treat.

    I noticed my maybelline mascara seemed a bit dry and clumpy so I thought I would clean the wand but ended up breaking it so will have to throw this away. I've had it open for quite a while (longer than I should have!). I only have one other natural collection mascara which I've probably had open for 6 months so might buy a new one soon.

    I helped out at Loughborough uni open day on thursday and the rain meant we had to get 3 tractors to tow people out of the 'car park' (it was just a field):eek: Hope everyone here is ok.

    I've had a really busy couple of weeks including arguing with my driving instructor so just feel really down and tired at the moment. I have been wearing nicer perfumes everyday under PRCP and it's nice to have something to make you smile and feel good about yourself:)

    hugs, happy birthdays and congrats to anyone I've missed, I need to catch up!:rotfl:

    Two more UUs for me this morning,

    This works 5 in 1 cleansing water - WBA if I don't find a cheaper alternative - I have large samples of the Vichy Micellar water and the Melvita Rose Micellar water to try and see if they match up

    Elemis pro collagen body cream - WNBA, smells nice, sinks in nicely but very expensive. I have another 50ml sample to use up in my stash though.

    I have edited my stash list as I keep finding sample sachets around the house/in drawers
  • Last day of June and finally some UU! Clarins day and night cream (2 separate). WNBA. Too expensive for what it is.
