No buying unnecessary toiletries-November 2016

Pure Intimate Feminine Complete Cleansing Wipes (30 pack) - WBA.They did the job - just as good as Femfresh ones but cheaper.

So? Sinful Eau de Toilette 30ml - WMBA. This had a lovely scent though it wasn't my favourite. It lasted 2-3 hours before topping up. I kept this in my work bag and used up the last of it in 3 months. This was a good idea as I was forced to use the same scent so I used it up a lot quicker. Have replaced this with another perfume.

Had a little uu just now:

Lush rose lollipop lip balm sample- WNBA as full size (although i do have it already) i dont like how if you accidentally taste this its horribly bitter. Really not keen on the taste/smell of this and im not convinced it did a lot for my lips beside making them flake. I think i will stick to the key lime pie one.

Can I join please? Not sure how many products I have in my stash and might take me a while to count...

In the last couple of days I've UU:

1. No.7 Polish and Perfect Body Scrub - Bought this years ago with a £5 off voucher. Liked how gritty it was but not sure it's entirely suitable for my sensitive skin. WMBA

2. Molton Brown Bath Gel Miniture Picked this up in a hotel room a couple of years ago and have been saving it but used up in the bath yesterday. The empty bottle is already in the recycling bin and I can't remember the name of it. The liquid was purple. I love MB stuff but it's totally out of my price range at the mo

3. Unknown hair / shower gel Thought this was another Molton Brown miniature as it was in one of the MB hair wash bottles but when I went to put it in my hair, it felt very odd and smelt funny. Think it may have been some baby bath stuff that I'd decanted and forgotten about :rotfl: Safe to say I double washed my hair this morning!

4. Unknown conditioner sample Not sure what this was as the label had come off but it was v nice anyway.

Could really do with a facial exfoliator at the mo but remembered my TreSonics facial brush in the back of my cupboard and then dug out a facial wash that I want to try and use up.

Forgot to add my IN's:

1. Nails Inc Polish in Lexington Square (free with Glamour mag)
2. This Works Sleep Spray (free with Marie Claire mag)

Welcome!

That sleep spray sounds lush! Also echo your feelings on MB wish I could afford it, I love the more masculine scents they do

Have you checked the draught proofing, we have our heating set to 16 degrees and it is cosy. We would be melting at 22.

Dolly, how do I do that? I rent the house and found out not long after I moved in from a neighbour that the previous tenants moved out because of the damp. Not sure though whether it was sorted out in the time them leaving and me moving in although I do know new carpets were put down.

Good news - I got £5 of Beauty Points, a l'Occ Trio of Handcreams (disc from £22 to £11) and a L'Occ Verbena Discovery Collection (disc from £20 to £10) for £2.09 in cash and the rest in Debenham vouchers.
Bad news. I have a load more stuff I don't really need but a bargain price just because the carboard packaging was battered. The contents are fine and I am down to my last L'Occ handcream, even if I have some other really nice Rituals which was waiting its turn and will now drop down the queue.

Creighton's Squeeky Clean Super Strong Nail and Cutie Cream 100ml - WNBA as I prefer other brands. This was nice enough, but not as good as others I have tried. It also takes longer to absorb than I wanted. It did last a long time though and was good value for money.
John Frieda Frizz Ease Forever Smooth Anti-Frizz Primer 3ml sample - I think I would need to try this out a bit more to figure out how effective it is. It was nice and a little goes a long way.

I would have had my usual Sunday evening bath on Sunday evening which would have used up the Avon white lily bubble bath on my UU list but just remembered I have my tattoo removal apt tomorrow and I'm not allowed to submerge it in water for a few days after

Slightly off topic but I've had my eye on the new iPhone 7 ever since it came out so I might see if I can get it on a contract tomorrow and then sell my old phone to give me a bit of extra cash. Not very MSE I know but I don't like going into the city and coming out with nothing. :rotfl:

generally- most of the time repairs are a lick of paint and naught else. you will be able to smell damp, is there any mould, is there a layer of water that does not seem to evaporate?
some times the extentions have poor damp course on the floor or a rubbish level of insulation.

a lot of the time a dehumidifier will remove damp feeling- excess water and makes it easier to heat the rooms. what it will cost you on electricity will be saved of the heating. a dehumidifier is a great investment.

you can check for draughts by using either a candle and seeing where it flickers or feeling for the cold air. i use loads of warm (interlined) curtins and door snake insulators. check around the doors, windows (nightmare if single glazed) and vents.

i once lived in a flat that was so cold i had to layer on the clothes when i came home from work. It was a beautiful historical flat but from now on i only choose highly insulated houses. When i eventually get to buy a house, I will retro fit every bit of insulation and get it to scandivan passive house standard

so to cosmetics, it has been a rubbish october- one innow that and now that i think of it, one soap out.

i need to re-double my efforts as i have not being paying attention to my face and it is getting a little red and blotchy. at least i can get a gig for christmas as ruldodof.

i want to finish one cleanser and more importantly throw away any items that just have no chance of being finished.
