No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries June 2014

sjprmc01

UU no 18/. Last one of the month: clarins water comfort one step cleanser. I loved this but it was only a trial/GWP size and it's really expensive for what it is........maybe when I get my stash down a bit I WBA!

I've just caught up with reading the thread and wanted to send belated birthday wishes to maddiemay and hugs to rogueylawyer, nillionaire and any other ladies having a tough time at the moment.

FizzWhizz you have my sympathy, your stepdaughter sounds like an absolute nightmare! _pale_ I hope you manage to get some peace restored to your household soon.

I've hardly made any progress at all with my stash in June and I had a near purchasing incident in Superdrug last week but just about managed to walk away. I'm still ploughing through some long haul jobs but have a shampoo, exfoliator and moisturiser all nearing the end so I'm hoping for some use ups soon.

:(:(Kadison I really hope that it doesn't turn out the way you're thinking right now. I've been in a similar situation in the past and it isn't nice at all, even if the scare didn't turn into anything it's not nice to feel on your own. *hugs to you*
DS is in bed now so i'm going to take myself for a little walk to Sainsbobs local and get some chocolate and a bit of vino...Kadisonfancy joining me in a virtual wine/choc fest? :beer: lol
Anyone can join...since we're all going through something one way or another!
Trying to get DS to try some new foods at the moment as he is VERY picky, it's not going down too well so tonight's been interesting. *bangs head against wall*

I don't like wine so my tipple will be pepsi max, but I'll certainly join in on the choccie!

Oh love. Let him have a little space - he will either come back better and sorted or you'll know it's a personality thing you'll need to think about. I don't think it's necessary a bad thing if he's thinking about things, nor does it mean he's spineless, so long as he's thinking not ignoring.

Wow, that was some beautiful prose I just wrote

It really was

Kadison - Oh no, I hope there is a good outcome.

I still hadn't heard by 11pm so I texted him and it's all sorted now, an hour on the phone and some tears from me (relieved ones) and it's all good again.

TBH I was clinging to the hope that (as usual) I was reading WAY too much into things and had completely got the wrong end of the stick, but as I said to him, he's going away on his first proper trip since we met and I'm going to miss him so much, plus I'm worried something will happen to him, so all of that is in the back of my mind and making me far more emotional than usual.

Also we're almost at the three month point and we both said it was rotten timing, just as we're getting properly serious and at that lovely/dreadful stage of every tiny positive thing making you madly happy and every tiny negative making your world come crashing down. It's all very unsettling......fantastic but horrendous!

Sundaygirl. The tortoise has failed to get through my defences so far. He was quite happy at the weekend as a raspberry cane has bent over (with the weight of the fruit) he had a lovely time eating them and the leaves. He was not very impressed when I tied the plant back up.QUOTE]

:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

He's very opportunistic, isn't he!

It was quite honestly at a level of 'you can be overwhelmed and underwhelmed, but can you ever just be whelmed?' You really wouldn't believe that I make my living being a poised and persuasive person (who has fantastic use of alliteration)!

Glad to hear it's all sorted

Anyone know if it is possible to use up perfume/cologne etc as diffusers, use olive oil ???? just a thought

Hi everyone!

Think I had another UU: Sensodyne Pronamel, as per usual.

Blimey! Aren't we all having a tough time of it at the minute?! Apologies to anyone I've missed - hugs to you all - but I just don't have the time to go back and check out the entire thread...who was it who said we can really natter?!

Roguey: I hope things are going as well as they can. x

I myself have been off so long as in may, myself and other housemates found one of our housemates dead in his room. Still unsure of the cause, police are looking into it.

I'm sorry about that, nillionaire: the same thing happened to some friends at uni. Very tragic - natural causes - nothing could have been prevented/done.

What brilliant phrasing!

Yesterday, she asked DH for help with her homework and when he (gently) pointed out that she'd made mistakes in the four questions she'd already done, she told DH that he was a knob and she was going to get a machete and hack him to bits. He tried to laugh it off and said he didn't think anyone would sell a machete to a child and she just looked him straight in the eye and said, "I'll find a way, you'll get what's coming to you" :eek:

Honestly, I wouldn't have believed it had I not witnessed it myself. Oh, it's all fun and japes chez Whizz! :rotfl:

This might be easy for me to say as I don't have any children and teenagers can be a bit dramatic but that is SERIOUSLY worrying: that young *mumbles incoherently* needs something drastic to happen to her so that she realises that is just *NOT* acceptable, even as a threat. Have I read this right and said young *mumbles again* is a stepchild? Do you feel as though you could intervene, or does DH police his own children as a rule?

I have only got half the story of the swimsuit so I may have got the wrong end of the stick, but given this behaviour, if money is not a problem, I would be tempted to take the offending item off her, tell her it can't be returned but that you will throw it away and take the hit, and buy something you are happier with.
