:T:T Well done AbsintheFairy - What a great acheivement.
I have a splutterer to declare - Elemis PCMC which I have loved. First time using it and can see why it is a HG item for some. I am just about to cut the tube which should give me a few more days.

Just need to confess to some in's
Boots botanics volumising shampoo, conditioner and finishing serum ( on 3 for 2)
Also Flower pharm wild Rose body butter, was on offer in Tesco and smells gorgeous
All totally unnecessary purchases
Must try harder!
Happy pampering, xo
I have managed to resist the Flower Pharm stuff in Tesco up to now, the packaging was so pretty.
When I was in my local Tesco the other day there was a woman stood at the Rimmel stand opening every single mascara and pulling out the wand to look at. I decided there and then that I will only buy mascara with a seal or in sealed packaging from now on, people could use it then put the wand back in for all we know and it isn't like other types of products where you can tell by looking at it. urgh.Debt Free and now a saver, conscious consumer, low waste lifestyler

Ooh that is a shame, I really like this facial wash.
And - I am an Avon rep and I always deliver my orders on a friday and collect my books on a Wednesday and I have gone out in torrential rain, blizzards, sheet ice, thick snow the lot and even when I have been ill. I would never mess people about like your rep is doing. On the magazine front have you checked that there isn't one of those continuous payment things coming out of your bank?
Thanks Dolly - re the mag, yep, I checked, it was definitely a one off. My card number has changed since, so they can't take it again, anyway.
Thanks for your comments re the Avon. I can't see her doing it once she goes to Uni, if she goes, so hopefully I will get someone more reliable again later this year. She is a really pleasant, sweet girl and that's why I haven't complained to Avon.

My UU's -
No 1 - the first of the perfume minis I've had for a decade or so (very carefully stored, all still perfect). Dior Dolce Vita. WIBA?
No, it is a lovely feminine scent, but well-named, it is very, very sweet and I like my scents with a bit more spice.
2. Pantene Aqua Light Conditioner 250 ml (old packaging).
WIBA? The formulation has changed now, so I can't. I wouldn't have anyway, really nothing special at all. It's OK, but lots of products are so much better than OK and at a similar price.
3. Aveeno 200ml Daily Moisturising Lotion - a threadmate gift.
WIB? Absolutely, I hadn't tried it before as it isn't the cheapest and I didn't want to make a mistake.
It's lovely - unscented, thick enough to be a cream but rubs in beautifully. No sticky residue, really works well. One to look out for when it's on offer, or a destination for Advantage Points.Erma Bombeck, American writer: "If I had my life to live over again...

Hope everyone has had a nice day. I have no more UUs or INs so all is good

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 time0 -
Happy Easter!
Four splutters on the go, and one that I may toss because I'm not sure if it's gone off!
So, that's April off to a good start!0 -
Last UU of the month
Lush enchanter bath bomb - WBA made the bath a wonderful relaxing orange colour.
I ended the month with 132 outs including sold and GA
However I had 135 ins which included some wonderul monthers day gifts and a bag of unloved toiletries from a workmate.
So overall +3 for the month and only -16 for the start of the challenge.
Overall a shocking result but in reality before this challenge it would have been a whole lot worse, so baby steps I guess.No more buying toiletries0 -
UU Schwarzkopf supersoft coconut conditioner WBA got this in Poundland does the job and made my hair nice and soft.0
