2/31 for me, please xBack 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!

2/30 for me today please.
A planned lunch with brother who is 70 today was cancelled as his wife isn't well. I'm actually quite relieved as I didn't feel great today, and it would have been a 3 hour round trip. After a 2 hour nap this afternoon I feel heaps better.What would you get if all you got was what you were thankful for?5 -
Happy New Year!
Hope everyone had a good Christmas, I managed to end December on 21, not quite where I thought / hoped to be. Last few days haven’t been great, although yesterday was a bit better, maybe start of new year helping.
