No Buying Unnecessary toiletries in June

SuiDreams

Back from a lovely day at the beach with the dogs and DH, off for a soak in a bubble bath. Hopefully I'll find something to UU while I'm there. At least its been another Saturday of not buying anything. Will catch up later.

Your Ragdale hall stay sounds very exciting.

Has Mr KM ever tried the LE body wash for men. MrM uses it and it smells gorgeous. I like the original one but not the energising one.

Ragdale Hall was lovely - Elemis facial and a massage plus a relaxing time in the spa. I was supergood and stayed away from the shop so have not come away with a bagful of products like I usually do. It was hard but feeling quite virtuous today!

Mr KM has tried the LE but a longtime ago when I think it came in a TSV. It was ok but to be honest he can't tell the difference between something decent and something from a value range.

Hugs to Rosemary, Weesmiler and anyone else who needs them.

Belated happy birthday to Willowbee.

Apologies if I have missed anyone - lots to catch up on as have been MIA since Weds.

Have my INs from the LIB box same as everyone else so won't post the list. Feel quite pleased with my INs and OUTs this month though - 22 OUTs and 11 INs (no TSVs though!) so have a minus 11 items at the end of the month. Don't think I will manage any more UUs but have some splutterers so hope to get July off to a good start.

Hope you don't mind ladies - have started July's thread here (at least I hope I have):

Welcome back Kiplingmonkey - glad you enjoyed your Ragdale visit, sounds lovely.

We have been out and about all day, having afternoon tea and wandering around a mill village, no toiletries bought today so very pleased with that.

This weather is bizzare, we were just getting in the car and saying how lovely and sunny it was when in seconds of setting off the sky went black, started thundering and lightning and torrential rain. Couldn't see a thing and had to pull over. Ten minutes later it was sunny again. I'd left my washing out too.

Huge hugs to everyone that needs one, seems quite a few of us are going through a bit of stress for various reasons, new month tomorrow, so I hope that it will be a better one.:)

Thank you to Itzbitzy for getting June thread going, congrats to everyone who have had successes, whether large ones like ValM, or more modest ones, I have ended the month with 5 IN's, 5 UU's and 15 GA's. My Elemis cleanser is hanging on, it may go tonight or perhaps tomorrow, either way I will start July with it.

Tea break over, back into the garden, OH has worked hard with me today again, so I cannot (should not!!!) moan about his 3days of cycling each week.

That sounds wonderful. Did they use any products you hadn't tried before?

Since posting I can't believe I've had another UU - L'occitane Cherry Blossom EDT. WNBA - much prefer Philosophy Amazing Grace.

Also an IN - the Cutex nail lacquer remover as predicted though not from Sainsbury's. We went to a different store today and they only stocked Sainsbury's own. Got mybottle from Boots andpaid with Advantage Points so no spend still. Wahay.

Have just had lovely soak in the bath.

Here are my stats for June I don't think I'll get through anything else today

Ins
Freebies 6/ GWP 0/ Magazine Freebie 1 / Beauty Box 10 / Bought 4
Total 21 ins note 2 of the bought items were out of a mini gift set I got in Superdrug for 10p the 2 bought items were things I needed on holiday.

Outs
UU 22 GA 1 TA1
Total 24 outs

Stash reduced by 3 items

This is also my lowest number if ins so far as part if the challenge

The beauty box items were from Amarya and LIB, Amarya is a monthly subscription for me and the LIB one I let myself have as a treat for doing well.

I'm keeping away from Groupon as there is an Urban Decay deal on.

Oh I didn't see that. I have a free £5 to use from Groupon only valid today but can't find anything to buy ... maybe that's good!!:money:
I have no more UUs or INS either for the end of the month, but do think I am begining to get somehwere with my stash! Hope everyone has a lovely weekend.:)

Yes - skin buff and pro collagen mask - both were lovely, both were tempting especially as the shop had an offer on - buy 2 items and get a bag with mini PCMC, PC hand cream, papaya enz peel and some skin nourishing milk bath. However, I managed to resist as I really want to get the stash down. So I think a big yay to me :T, even though I say it myself. My friend and I have decided to make a Ragdale trip an annual treat so if I have made serious inroads will treat myself next year maybe.

Will be avoiding the Q tomorrow - not tempted by the Elemis but sounds like there will be temptation round every corner!
