    I remember him sitting reading the Obits from the Courier and saying such and such had passed. What of Mum would ask.

    I've just about justified keeping that cracker for myself :D

    My premium toiletry stash has spiralled out of control again recently :o not to the extent that it has in the past, but beyond what I vowed it would. I'm reducing it by making up a posh pamper hamper to raffle or auction at an upcoming fundraiser for work. Some of the smaller stuff is going in my VIP goody bags for the same event.

    So there will be room and there will be no guilt because I'll have reduced it to an acceptable level. i think I'm just about convinced......:rotfl:

    Not all of us need to shout about it ;)

    Although I used up 5 things last week....I attracted 7 and its not going well so far this week with none out but 5 in!
    frugal October...£41.82 of £40 food shopping spend for the 2 of us!

    I'm supposed to be working at home today but not much work has happened so far.
    I had some tests done on Monday that showed I have an issue with my kidneys so I'm having to drink a lot! of water. Very minimum 3 litres a day and 4 if I can manage it :eek: I am managing it......just. What I couldn't face today was spending half the day in the very primitive toilets at work :rotfl::rotfl:
    I'm going into tomorrow armed with plenty of bleach, latex gloves and scouring pads. A couple of the lads are then going to paint the whole place. If I'm going to be spending that much time in there it's got to be up to my standards :rotfl:

    I think I've still got more going in than going out - posh hand cream to trial from Alba, sample sizes from Lancôme and Clinique and 2 original sourse shower gels from boots for £1 to get 75 boots points. Then there is the MB order which is for Christmas gifts but I can pretend they are mine for the next 3 months :)

    I gave my eldest holland Barrett lip salve and a full size batiste dry hair powder, 2 soaps have gone in the Christmas shoe boxes, empty perfume, empty hand cream went into the recycling, changed the razor heads - so at least a few things have gone out

    But then someone this morning said they had found Dove hand creams in one of the pound shops - usually about £3 £3.50 - so you know where I am going on Saturday - we are our own worst enemies
