    one out, one in

    UU Olay Essentials sensitive wipes x 20

    nothing special, but I've yet to find wipes that are. It's just laziness and/or being in a rush that makes me use them rather than cleansing 'properly'.

    Replaced with Tesco Everyday Value 25 wipes, much cheaper and just as good.
    3 stone down, 3 more to go

    WELCOME BACK WILLOWBEE! Missed you!

    Managed to PYN tonight - went with an M & S one in Leaf. First time on and I think it is really pretty.

    I am so excited as I am nearly at the end of a brow pencil - this first one in TWO years of doing this challenge. :j

    that one is so nice, love those muted greens

    ITZY - let me know how you like the aveda invati products. I really wanted to use it as I feel like my hair is very flat.

    UU: Boots botanics foaming bath soak. This was a gift and honestly as much as I liked it, I felt like it was just too much of a LHJ for me to buy for myself.

    Off to London tomorrow with a friend for a day out shopping....I hope to not return with too many INS, but just the things that I actually need.:cool:

    Thanks, it is my third month Willowbee. I am now finding it a bit easier as temptation isn't as strong now. I have been doing quite well for some time on the challenge but it feels like it the final click in my head has happened. There will always be another offer....



    Have a lovely time dolly84!

    This also my third month :A of no spends too, I know have still lots of things to use up though and lots of splutters that seem to go on for ages.

    However I had a walk through Boots today at lunch time to look at the Christmas gifts and not tempted at all, but was horrorfied at how much the prices of every day items have gone up :eek: I've not been buying much for ages because of this thread but shower gels seemed to have increased in price by about 50%!!
    I know there's always another offer round the corner but if I do pass Wilkinsons I will pick up some of their 50p Palmolive shower gels but the nearest one is about 20 miles away so not very MSE:(

    Feeling very stressed, getting upset with a malicious neighbour who has called the police because she says I am blocking her entrance to her house. It's only a path and there's a pavement in front. Police are backing her because she's a helpless little old lady, instead she's nothing but and is making my life a misery. I am trying to work out how to play her at her own game, getting even not mad :p
    Life is a coin, you can spend it anyway you wish, but you can only spend it once.
    Go as far as you can see, and when you get there you'll see further.
    Take time but don't waste time

    how is that a Police issue? I'd just take photos of the supposed "blockage". how is she even claiming you are blocking it? tbh, if i rang the cops and said someone was blocking my entrance to the house, theyd be expecting a car parked or something on it so i literally could not leave me front door or open the gate enough to get out. other than that, its a civil matter, not a crime.

    if she carries on doing it, keep a note of what she does and when then report her for harassment. esp if you know she is a tenant, tell her landlord. that behaviour will be in breach of her tenancy.
