many thanks for the new thread...of course I am here again
1 in some fake sun tan stuff to test...not very thrilling
am doing a stall at the coffee morning tomorrow so hope to sell my flowers that spent much of the day doing, only £5 a basket but people don't like to spend so may end up bringing them all home! Also taking some hotel soaps that I have wrapped prettily, only charging 50p each so hope they will sell. I copied 1 idea from a craft shop, they wrapped soap in printed music and tied with nice ribbon....and charged £3.50!!!!0 -

Thanks for the new thread dolly.
I will be here until retirement.
PP for May (there are a few leftovers from April)
1. Soap & Glory Clean on Me shower gel (from April) - No1 nemesis - I have fallen out of love with the fragrance so can only bear to use it every few months - however I have several in the stash so its time to face my demons. UU
2. Soap & Glory Righteous Butter (from April) - as above UU
3. Clarins concealer (from April).
4. Clarins one step exfoliating cleanser. UU 7/5
5. Clarins extra firming foundationin nude. - UU 2/5
6. Elemis PCMC
7. Elemis pro collegen oxygenating night cream.
8. SWS basics cream.
9. LRP Efaclar foaming cleanser
10. LPR Efaclar clarifying tonerNo more buying toiletries0 -
I'm in .... Will do my totals in the morning.
This month I am staying off that naughty step. Honest0 -
Thanks for starting us off Dolly. I'm IN and have two trips this month so wonder if that will mean airport INs or just UUs!Debt free and busy treating myself:)
No more toiletries/make up until I've used what I've got stashed since Jan 2011, graduated October 2012. Restocked Dec 13..damn those sales0 -
Clear a space on the naughty step straight away. I've just ordered a new EH moringa cleansing balm from feel unique with last week's £10 off code. I am going to be running out in the next 10 days and the only other cleanser I have in the stash is the sanctuary oil cleanser 15ml, which I didn't really rate at getting the makeup off. Will properly declare the balm when it arrives.
My stash list currently stands at 376 and I'm going to go through to make a PP list in an attempt to get it down to 350 by the end of May!0 -
Thanks for the thread start, Dolly84.
This was last month's April into May PP list:
1[STRIKE]. Mitchum roll on deo No 2 (from bathroom, not bedroom).
[/STRIKE]
2. Rescue Oil 40 ml
3.[STRIKE]Aldi Lacura Q10 day moisturising cream with Spf 15.[/STRIKE]
4. Aldi Lacura 'Renew' eye cream in pump.
5.[STRIKE] Schwarzkopf Gliss conditioner.
[/STRIKE]
6. Andrew Collinge Volume conditioner.
7. [STRIKE]Avon Senses 'Xmas Glitz' shower gel. [/STRIKE]
8[STRIKE]. Aldi Lacura anti-ageing body lotion (Dove lookey-likey) 500ml
[/STRIKE]
The A.C. Volume conditioner is nowhere near as good as the 3 in 1 Aldi L'Oreal lookey - likey, so the Andrew C's been put back in the box.
So, my PP list for May:
1. Rescue Oil 40 ml.
2. Mitchum Roll- on No 1, from the bedroom.
3. Scholl Foot Mask, as reviewed on Amazon.
4. Aldi Lacura Hydro Urea Foot Cream
5. Aldi Lacura 'Renew' eye cream in pump.
6. Polo shower gel 75ml
7. Avon Magixx BB cream 30ml
8. Avon Care body lotion 400 ml.
9. Sanctuary Mande Lular body souffle 50 ml
Ins for April were five freebies of 75ml shower gel x 3, Sanctuary body souffle and the Scholl foot mask; boughts were: another Aldi hydro-urea foot cream, a OS raspberry and vanilla shower cream, an Aldi roll on, the Aldi hair conditioner and a Pantene spray leave in conditioner (£1.09 instead of £4.38).
Total cost of my ins for the month £5.65. :money:
Which balanced out what the UUs on the PP list cost almost exactly. I had another hydro urea foot cream UU'd as well, so the value of UUs was more than I spent. Which is heading in the right direction...Erma Bombeck, American writer: "If I had my life to live over again... I would have burned the pink candle, sculptured like a rose, that melted in storage." Don't keep things 'for best' - that day never comes. Use them and enjoy them now.0
