  • Final use up of the month. Love me naked Rose shower gel. I wba. Love the scent and foamed up really nicely. I'm proud to say I haven't bought anything unnecessary this month. First month in over a year!
  • this how I've got on this month


    Here is my PP list for August
    [STRIKE][/STRIKE]Baylis and Harding Lavender body wash (have been using the 750ml bottle for months now but only at night time)
    [STRIKE][/STRIKE]Original source Raspberry and vanilla shower
    [STRIKE][/STRIKE]Naked rose body wash
    Boots Botanics Restore body wash

    Soap and glory Daily smooth body butter
    Dirty Works foot butter
    At least one nail polish
    Primark candle
    Lime yankee candle (potty training little one at the minute so shouldn't be hard as it smells amazing and wee doesn't!)

    Foamburst Cherry Blossom and Sweet Vanilla (used up this morning!) WBA as it smelled gorgeous and was lovely and foamy and doubled up as a brilliant shaving gel.

    Happy using!![/QUOTE]

    Went to Trafford Centre yesterday and did buy something but it was a bargain!! Went into John Lewis to look for an OPI lacquer for my sister with the intention of treating her. Picked this up but also saw a stack of Nails Inc Gel polishes at half price. Saw the one that I've recently seen in a magazine - Old Park Lane so bought it. Was £7.50. It was a bonus though when I got to the till and the colour chosen for my sister was half price too.

    To balance this out I also had a UU yesterday: L'occitane Verbena shower gel. I tipped it into my bath to soothe my aching limbs after a day at TC.
    Back for the No Buying Toiletries challenge. I pledge to only buy when I run out of a product that is not already in my stash no matter what wonderful emails land in in my Inbox or threads I read on MSE re: glitches!

    Had a day to myself today, so I'm busy tidying up all of my August 'accounting'

    2 final UU's for me

    29th I coloured my hair, so that's another box of dye gone
    31st I finished off my 14 day Garnier kit. Only used half a sachet a day, so after missing a few days the kit lasted me all month !!

    Finished the month with 7 UUs, 1 TA, 1 GA and 2 INs. 1 of the INs was some longer length super absorbent towels for elder GD while on holiday (so also my GA), the other IN was hair removal cream meant for using with her (she's now of an age that she needs introducing to some products) but I didn't get a chance - so now added to my stockpile until I need.



    Off to find September's challenge :)
