No buying unnecessary toiletries July 2014

maddiemay

Welcome to Littlehope we are a happy and supportive little band and glad to have you along.

Apologies for not replying to to specific posts, hugs to those that need them and well done to all those use ups.

OH and I are taking a 10 day break travelling in North Wales in our motor home, have been busy trying to get the garden tidy enough to be left. I have packed toiletries, makeup and nail stuff, I have included lots of small sizes so hoping for a whole list of UU's:), clothes almost done, now need to sort a meal plan, check out the stores/freezer and make a dash around T*sco, note my priorities LOL

My preparation has been slowed by watching Wimbledon last week and the TDF since it started, Dolly did you get to see it, or did I miss a post?

Maddie - yes I did get to see it on Sunday, it was great, the cyclists flew past very quickly but it was still great to see them and the caravan beforehand.

Missed all the TDF excitement as I was at a conference with a friend, loved it and got a lot out of it, but my decreased mobility was a pain in the er, hip.
Since the break-in I've let a lot of routine things like this thread slide, as getting things back on track and keeping up with work took time. I was going to drop out, but I saw your lovely posts and just couldn't!

UU of an OS Raspberry and Vanilla shower gel, UU of a Mitchum 50ml roll-on and IN of the same, the Aldi one isn't as reassuring and the Mitchum was under a quid in Wilko's.

Nothing needed for a while now. Everything is slowly going down. I may need some sort of body cream by the end of the summer, but still have lots, 600ml x Avon family cream from the 4/5 items for a fiver promotions, 1/3 of my summery dry oil spray, and around 100ml of one of Aldi's more expensive body creams.

Fave conditioner at the moment is the Aldi Specialbuys one that looks like Aussie. I have to store that upside down even though it's still quite full and unscrew the top to dispense it. It's that thick.

Will uncover my PP list at some stage. Think most of it is still intact-ish.

For those who know about 'my' horses, the ex-racehorse Angrove Rumbaba has made huge strides in his showing career with his new owner Laura. Today he became the Great Yorkshire Show's first ever coloured retrained racehorse to appear in the show ring there. He wasn't placed but he was up there with 46 others that are the very best.

Oh Honey how terribly scary for all of you. I completely agree with Fizz, my mind went immediately to migraine when you mentioned loss of vision. I hope you get answers either way though.

My mother is more stable now, her kidneys have recovered but it's going to be a while before she is allowed to go home because she is having some side issues.

I decided I needed to do something to help others who have had a worse time than me, so I decided to raise money for my local food bank. I'm selling the jewellery I make with 25% proceeds going to food for the local food bank. I've raised £6 in less than 24 hours, am hoping to get £15-£20 to buy a good chunk of the items they need. I'm also going to skim a few items off my toiletries stash to add to the food bank pile.

I hope everyone is well, I haven't read through the whole thread. I'm still only part functioning at the moment, the other part wants to sleep all the time.

Kadison - how did your waxing go? I only ever had it done once.

It's tomorrow evening, I've had to time it right so I have at least 24 hours before my next gym session! :eek:

Thank u for the kind words, I know people have much worse happening at the moment. Hit a rough patch with the OH I'm really not sure we'll get through, which is a very difficult prospect, but taking it a day at the time a the min. The challenge is surviving well at the mo, the UU are mounting and I'm lacking any motivation to go shopping but a bath does feel in order tonight and maybe a bit of pampering. Anyone want to come and see James at the wknd in Manchester?? Lol xx

whoop de whoop :j love the GYS, not been for a few years but it's a fabulous event.

Back on track, my Dove deodorant feels very light so that's on it's way out. Nothing else to report

And I'm glad you couldn't go through with leaving us! Always enjoy your posts.

Rougey feel humbled reading your post. I'm glad your Mum is somewhat on the mend. It's amazing you're thinking of others at the moment. Real testimony to your character

emsjune78 - sorry that you are going through difficult times at the moment, wishing you strength to deal with however things pan out.

And -I am delighted that you did not decide to leave us, I would miss your posts very much. Lovely news about the horse.

Roquey - good news about your Mum. How lovely to donate to the food bank, paying it forward is a great thing to do.

I have a UU and a TA to declare:

UU
Imperial Leather Japanese Spa Shower Cream 300ml - great standard to use. WBA. Love the smell. A good everyday shower gel.

TA
Kempinski Shower Gel 50ml - I opened this to use following the above. There seemed to be some brown gloop stuff in it (I'd used other ones from the same range, nabbed at the same time). Decided to TA as I didn't want to put something I didn't know about on my skin.

At least that's two more to add to my OUTs! :beer:
