No buying unnecessary toiletries in October

I think it's unlikely that I will buy any TSVs this month.
Not even the LE? That is my one to watch this month...Altho I may surprise myself and put £5 in my SPC instead. Depends on the c&p and/or IBST included. Have not watched today, mind you, the LD wouldn't tempt me.I've had an offer accepted on a little house so I'm going for a spend free month.
How exciting - hope the sale goes through smoothly. Keep us posted.
I am hoping for a good UU rate in October as I have quite a few splutterers, including a body scrub so this could be a good month for me.0 -
I'm in again too please
Many thanks to Kipling Monkey for starting this months thread.
I'll pop back to the September thread to report my UU's and purchase (I allowed myself one on the cruise
)
It's also my birthday today and I'm pleased to report that I have received NO toiletry presents at all :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:. DH bought me a Pandora bracelet for Christmas last year and everyone seems to have got me charms for it so it's looking lovely and full at the minute:D:D
In the spirit of this thread I'm not going to aim for a no buying month but more a UU of at least two body lotion/butters as this stash isn't moving at all (I find a lot of them too heavy and feel my skin can't breathe after applying them - IYKWIM).

The Q never put all full sizes of the essentials in though. if they did I would probably buy. I love her essentials and like some of the body care items but the treatments are all horrible as they smell of camphor.
Was impressed by an Elemis mask I tried earlier though - the lavender one.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!

Thanks again, Kiplingmonkey of course I am in again:rotfl:hoping for a no spend month as shelf full of stuff plus the beauty bible stuff,editors LIB and SSB all due in the next couple of weeks:eek:managed to sell 4 clarins things plus two dresses on fleabay at a grand total of £22.50 oh well every little helps!Can't believe how little I got for the Clarins,think I will stop buying at bonus time and just buyt other peoples unwanted bonus stuff instead:rotfl:
went blackberrying with OH looks like a good year but first chance we have had to go.He is away again this week and next,home life calmish but problems still not resolved.Whilst listening to radio love songs he moaned about some man writing in to say I love you and said tell her yourself to which I replied you never tell me:(so he put his arms round me and said I love you darling....if only he would show it!!!!!0 -

I certainly was VALM - had a fanastic time:D although there were a couple of hiccups like the non existant shower gel in the cabin(and I hadn't taken any with me) and the fact that I didn't sleep the last couple of nights as my throat was on fire (thought I was getting tonsillitus) although this has now broken in to a right stinking cold:(
The cruise itself was fantastic and even Mr bunnykins enjoyed it(major plus) so we are looking at doing another for my birthday next year (it's one that ends with an 0) so hopefully the Caribbean:D:D - well I can dream.........

Did you book whilst onboard? We did one of those open ended bookings and are hoping to go the year after next though if I had my way it would be sooner. xxBack for the No Buying Toiletries challenge.
