No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries in December

Asset2004 - That was a great buy on the P&P. I can't use it as it breaks me out which is just as well.

Have three uu to report from this mornings shower

Cyclax Apricot Face Scrub - used as a body scrub.

No7 Radiance Revealed face scrub - WBA if Boots do the £5 vouchers, otherwise WNBA.

Sanctuary Spa 24hr body lotion - WBA - lovely.

Have products in the stash to replace all three so no need to spend.

Hi ladies! :wave:

Like so many of you I am DELIGHTED at being finished work until the new year...I have so much to do between now and then it's mad, but I'm tired, so the break is more than welcome...I haven't really had any holidays this year due to one thing and another, so it's really needed.

Another UU: Tresemme Colour Thrive shampoo. WIBA? Am now onto the next one from my stash (when I realised I was getting near the end and there was a special offer on, I invested in two more. Now there's just one more stashed, but it lasts a long time, so that's OK). In the ongoing saga of my moody hair, this seems to be doing OK at the minute, so I'll run with it while it is!

Miraculaously, I'm not planning on any particular INs this Christmas, although I may end up with some as pleasant but unexpected presents. One of my jobs over the Christmas period is to tidy up and sort out my new toiletries cupboard, so I think my stash list will be getting revised. Also, I gave a Champney's set away that I got in the Boots -75% sale last year as a Christmas present the other day, but I still have some nice FCUK sets to be given. I'm going to the Boots sale this year, but I don't think I will be going too mad...well, I say that now, but once the red mist descends, who knows?!

Finally !!!

My first UU for December

250 ml of nail polish remover have discovered i don't need to buy a replacement for this as following a tidy up i found a half finished bottle elsewhere. :money:

Happy Christmas everyone if i dont stop by for a few days. Hope you all have a fab time and hugs to those that find this time of year extra difficult.

I have a UU, a GA and an In to report. Finshed Murad Essential C cleanser. This was a magazine freebie and WNBA. Nothing special at all. Very runny so didn't last long. I will find another facial wash in my stash to replace this in the shower.

Colleague's birthday so gave her a Project D gift set from Boot's sale last year. I've got some of these products but never tried them.

The In is Andrew Collinge Purity Volume Therapy Conditioner, 250ml. Got this in HB for £1.79. Wasn't a planned buy as I've not long started a massive bottle of Tresemme conditioner but I don't have a stash and I am sure me and my hair will get bored of the Tresemme and need to give something else a go for a while.

Having a horrible time in work recently but am leaving at the end of June on voluntary redundancy. Something to look forward to but also a reason to economise as it could be quite a while after I leave before I have any income whatsoever, which is quite a scary though! :eek:

that's the drawback to being a toiletries 'junkie'. By the time you find your HG the product may well have been discontinued! :mad: I guess there's always Fleabay if you really love something though.

Just 'discovered' a set of miniature perfumes that I must have bought in one of the Boots' sales. I'm tempted to keep them for myself. Don't have a huge stash of perfume so wouldn't feel as guilty as I would if it was shower gel or body lotion/butter/cream. Will also be checking out the sales to see if I can get a Marc Jacobs Daisy set half price. No joy so far with Harrods or Debenhams and they sold out last year at Boots.

If I don't check in again before Christmas, I hope everyone has a wonderful time.

I'm doing ok thanks Becky2. Still managing to keep clear of the shops, though my wine consumption is definitely up! Fortunately that's more because I am spending lots of time with friends, not because I am drowning my sorrows.

I'm feeling very much like I did the right thing and though it's sad, in some ways I am relieved to have a resolution, even though it's not the one I wanted. Being in limbo is pretty stressful.

Indiepanda, I am glad you are feeling a bit better. I agree being in limbo is stressful. Enjoy your time with your friends

Having a NPI of a GWP on a magazine sub. Started filling out the form as it is a magazine I enjoy but checked my bank account just in time - no more funds until January for roguey!

I'm having a chronic anxiety attack today and don't have any medication with me, so am keeping my mind busy on productive things, otherwise it spills over in to what-ifs and big problems. As a result, I've just sat down with my spreadhseet and worked out I have 2970ml of shower and bath gel in the stash still to use. Perhaps missing this month's magazine subscription GWP isn't such a bad thing after all - elemis bath elixir!
