    dolly84 - well done on the not buying anything for yourself! I'm not sure I'm ever going to manage that, my current strategy is to write out a list when I first start on a campaign then by the end I manage to talk myself out of most of it lol.

    VALM - I am very jealous I love Jack Whitehall!! :D x
    I hope you know your capable, & brave, & significant.
    even when it feels like your not....
  • Ok, I'm back on the wagon. I'm drowning in half used shampoo and conditioners and 'back up' shower gels. As for make up and perfume, I could go for about a year...

    No spend until 1/6/14.

    Have a great time tonight, VALM!

    UU #43: Ikea Family Handwash 500ml; WBA, although I doubt they still do them as it's years old :o Bought primarily because it's in a very pretty red bottle and all my kitchen "bits" are red too so it matches. I even buy the Fairy pomegranate washing up liquid so everything matches :o Replaced with same from stash, this is the last one, when it's finished I'll just top up the bottle with generic handwash.

    Hello again RightyTighty, I'm sure you were one of us when I first started. Welcome back and good luck. It's only a few months until June, enjoy using up what you have...

    I happened to go on the Avon website last night, no intention of buying but I was interested to see what was new. Fortunately nothing to entice me either.

    What was a bit of an eye-opener was to see how much of the stuff I had actually tried personally. They have a huge range of stuff and I'd personal knowledge of a good fifty items. Some really good items like the body oils, lotions and creams I had bought several times.

    No wonder I didn't graduate from here ...

    Went in to boots to grab some new concealer (planned purchase- collection lasting perfection) and accidentally-on-purpose did a 3 for 2 with some other stuff I've been fancying *slaps wrist*

    1st in -obviously the concealer
    2nd- Dove summer glow body lotion- starting early on the tan for spring/summer (paid for this with boots points, not part of the 3 for 2)
    3rd- revlon matte balm in sultry (already have 2 of these in different shades so this was very naughty
    4th- An ecotools foundation brush (trying to add to my very limited brush collection)
    5th- tanning mitt from Primark so I can apply the tanning lotion easily :)

    At least everything (except the lipstick) wasn't unnecessary IMO :P

    OOOH but also 3 uu's today which I forgot:

    1) Sweet rose handwash from lidl
    2) Another pack of huggies soft skin! (I tend to have 2 on the go at all times one at my house, one at the boyfriend's)
    3) 'I Love' raspberry and blackberry bubble bath and shower creme WNBA as while it smelled nice didn't do either job that well.

    Evening all

    Hope everyone is well and been enjoying this almost spring like weather :)

    5 More UU to report so far this month... yet the toothpaste still splutters on!

    Garnier Ultra Lift Sample X3 WNBA, don't really have many visible wrinkles and this makes the skin on my face tingle and not in a good way. only 1 more left!!!

    Animal Body Scrub WNBA was gifted to me and was musky and not overly scrubby so was only ok so i wouldn't seek it out to repurchase.

    Imperial Leather Bar of soap, another problem area relic gone :j i can almost hear the next bar of soap calling "NEXT" with a sly grin on its little face.

    Happy Bubbles all!

    Good evening everyone :hello:

    Very excitingly, I have two UUs to report from today!

    Molton Brown Blissful Templetree shower gel 300ml - love this stuff. This was a present from MIL. WBA (or definitely wouldn't say no as a present!). Sadly, I've had to ask MIL not to give it to me for my birthday due to having so much stock of other shower gel in my stash. :(

    Dove deodrant - Deodrant isn't an issue, but hey, still nice to have a UU. WBA.
