No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries August 2014

tiffanyjayne_2

We've just been given notice to move out (we're perfect tenants, the land lady has lost her job outside the UK and wants her house back) so as i pack things away i'll be updating my list

Ive got 2 outs and an in

my in is a 50ml vagasil sample, i really must remember what i actually sign up for

outs
a beauty box sample of bath oil, it was ginger and something, horrible smell and greasy so i won't be purchasing a bigger version.

and a english garden perfume sample, sooo flowery, it was quite sickly the amount of sugary scent it had so it's not for me.

I'm working on a soap bar, exfoliater and bubble bath which are all 2-3 uses away from being empty and i'm banning myself from any purchases at all this month, along with having to find a new house to fit us all in and re homing over 45 rescue animals asap the clutch just went on the car and we get married in less than 11 weeks....we simply don't have room, time or spare cash so i may be offline for a while, i hope you all have a lovely summer break and get plenty of sunshine xx

Oh tiffanyjayne, I'm so sorry you have so much on your plate! I hope your find the perfect new home very soon. How much notice have you been given? If there's a silver lining, it might just spur you on to UU as much as you can before you move, everything that's gone is one less thing to pack. Be kind to yourself, these things are sent to try us but you'll get there xx

kadison glad doc thinks its only a blood blister, i dont think those do hurt.

I haven't been to the docs but two friends have said it looks like a blood blister, I do stub my toes a lot so it would make more sense. I'm going to keep an eye on it and if it doesn't heal or grows, off to the doc a bit sharpish!

kadison i think i agree with the pudding or chocs ideas. Wine can be quite difficult to choose for someone else and flowers never last very long. hope it all goes well

kadison - another who doesn't really drink rose, so when I do it tends to be unimpressive ones. Personally I think taking pudding would be a nicer touch. Could you bake a cake, they tend to travel well and are nice gifts? My lemon drizzle never fails to win over my in-laws, and it will keep for a few days so won't matter if they've already sorted pudding as they can then enjoy through the week. I like seasidedreamers's idea of chocs too. Good luck and don't stress about it - it's natural to worry but you can't change who you are and I'm sure they will love you when they see how happy you make their son. And do't forget that they've helped shape him into the person he is today, so they muct be nice

Very true, he can't possibly be from horrid parents when he's so lovely *passes sick buckets around the thread* and that he speaks so highly of them says a lot about them.

I will keep the cake idea for another time maybe, or I might make Hummingbird Cake and take wine, the cake is delicious!

Re wine, I've been told they love sparkling so I've looked online and this one looks ideal so I'll see if it's in my local M&S Food shops....

That's exactly the same one they did about a year ago, good value but I won't be buying again as I didn't get on with the eye gel and haven't used the other two yet!

Thank you FizzyWizz, we've got just over 7 weeks and with the need to be near the little ones school it's proving difficult, since the car broke we can't get around to view properties, saying that everything that happens is sent to test us, i'm taking it all a day at a time, tomorrow is getting my wedding dress back from the seamstress on a bus, tram and then in a taxi so that'll be fun ....plenty of reasons to have lots of relaxing late night soaks though and i gave away 10 nail polishes today so it's spurring me on to clear out what i don't need

Good luck Tiffany, sounds like a mission and a half, hope it looks beautiful:)
Popped in the 99p shop and got another 2 Timotei Vivid Colour Conditioners so I've the same number as the shampoos. No deodrant that didn't look half used through, will have to try the £1 shop next:money::money:

Ewwww really? I know it's only 99p but still?! That's really bad.

tiffanyjayne you really do have a lot on at the moment! You're doing well to take it a day at a time, it's the only way otherwise you'll end up just rocking back and forth and going a bit mad!
Hope all works out with the dress tomorrow, i'm sure it will look lovely

I have a small UU:
Bobbi Brown eye cream sachet - WNBA - very thick and gloopy even for an eye cream.

Hello ladies,
I'm in for this month
I was a bit AWOL last month as was moving house (had to move the stash )
However, I'm back and trying desperately to work on UU stuff. Surprising how much room it all takes up!

Hugs to all that need them, and hello and double congratulations to Trudi and Grape.

Will be back later with stash updates

Morning everyone!

Sorry to hear about all the things that are happening for you at the moment tiffanyjayne! Hoping you'll find somewhere perfect soon.

Have a couple more UU's to report:

132. TBS Chocomania Body Butter 50ml - WBA, I love the scent and it sinks in very quickly.

133. Lush Rose Jam s/g 100ml - WDBA, I love the scent and I hope they bring it back later in the year.

134. TBS Hemp Hand cream - HG product, a little goes a very long way and they are always having sales so it's not too expensive.

Hope you all have a great day.

Morning ladies!

Tiffanyjane sorry to hear about the stressful time you're having, the run-up to the wedding is bad enough without having to move and the car problems too! Hope all works out well for you, and good luck with the dress today

I have another UU:

8/189. Leo Bancroft Irresistibly Shiny Glossing Conditioner 50ml - WBA, left my hair feeling silky.

No conditoner left, however it seems I didn't like having graduated in this area as I made a whopping great order with Regis last night and will be well-stocked for hair stuff until I'm about 90 I'm on the naughty step for the rest of the month if anyone wants me. Will report as INs when they arrive...

ETA: in an uncannily timely fashion, my All Beauty order literally just arrived! Really pleased with it, I ordered two Ciate nail caviar kits for gifts for a fiver each (and they're beautiful - so tempted to keep for myself!) and three Joico K-Pak mini sets - keeping one for me for now and will see how I get on with it, the rest for the pressie drawer. So INs (but pretty necessary!):

1/162. Joico K-Pak Shampoo 50ml
2/163. Joico K-Pak Conditioner 50ml
3/164. Joico K-Pak Revitaluxe Bio-Advanced Restorative Treatment 50ml
