No buying unnecessary toiletries February 2014

Upsy_Staffordshire

Phew think I've finally caught up on the thread I've been pretty busy recently so been unable to get on.

sjprmc01 congratulations on your upcoming wedding I hope things go ok with the MIL. I got married last year and we had issues with DH's family, just remember it's your day and not theirs

I haven't had any UUs or INs at all since I last posted. I've got a few products that are very close to being UUs so can't wait to finish them - really looking forward to having more storage space! I think it might take a while though :rotfl:

Another in - only the second of the month AND the year though. Mitchum roll on deodorant 50ml. I didn't desperately need this but I don't have a stash of deodorants and I'm not getting on with the one I've got at the moment. This only cost £1.02 as well, which seemed like a good price.

On the subject of bath lilies/body puffs, can I give a big thumbs - up to the Wilko puffs that have a sucker pad to attach to shower/bath/whatever. They are very cheap, come in various colours - black, white, pink, and I've got a red and white one too.

I've had a white one of these for AGES, it has expanded somehow and the weave is looser but it has not actually unravelled. The fact that it can be hung up to drip dry via the sucker is possibly what has saved it.

I sometimes had to buy two a month of these things, so I'm really pleased with it. That will probably be its cue to disintegrate, but it must be well over a year old.

OOOH that's exciting I didn't know you could get one with a sucker pad on! :j All mine end up grubby because I live with four guys (and one other girl) but they always knock mine off the peg thing in the shower and it goes on the bottom of the shower and gets gross

Tesco also has sucker ones!

I'd be tempted to put a scrubby puff in the washing machine once in a while, though I'm not keen on them anyway.

Today's OUTs

44 - Madly Kenzo body milk - I used this up in a bath actually. I love this smell and still have the perfume.
45 - Sample of Neal's Yard honey and orange facial scrub - used as body srub as I don't like scrubs on my face. I prefer a cloth. Very nice. But, I use scrubby gloves so WNBA

I loved those too but they have stopped doing them with suckers in my local - ours lasted ages too, much longer than the recent superdrug ones that me and DD seen off in a week or two.

After a day at the local climbing wall we enjoyed a Lush santas grotto bath bomb - WBA had a lovely fragrance and made the bath a vibrant orange which after a day of rain was quite uplifting.

On the subject of bath lilies, I've been using a TBS one for a while and it has lasted well - I machine wash mine weekly and have never had s problem with unravelling due to this. No sucker though, unfortunately!

I'm alternating between S&G The Ultimelt and Peaches and Clean at the mo; I have what looks like just under a quarter of the P&C left in the bottle but when I tried to use it earlier, nothing would come out! :mad: I had to bash the bottle around to get some product under the tube, and even then it was only half a pump. Silly packaging, it really would put me off buying again, despite the product being lovely. If I'm feeling brave I may try your hacksaw trick. I did :rotfl: at your "extra exfoliation" comment
