    No use for them since, and I suspect that I am never going to need them again at my age:o Not sure I can face putting them on Freecycle though - anyone think of any MSE uses for them? Polite ones only please;):D

    Stopping nose bleeds!

    Stuck now.....!

    Putting between your toes when applying nail varnish.

    No, sorry I'm being silly, I'll go and have my shower, (hair wash and condition, body scrub, slather myself in lotion, shave my legs with body lotion, lash my feet with foot vcream and put on my little socks) and be back in a jiffy with my sensible head on!

    Good ideas Bronnie! I suggested the boys could use them for keeping the wind from their ears as it is flaming freezing here!:D:D:D So freezing that we are snowed in and the school is shut tomorrow so they are having an extended holiday:(

    As you can imagine, they were not impressed:D

    And getting the glitter out of the bath is a b.itch. ;)

    OMG you are SOOO right: a friend bought me a glittery bath bomb for Christmas one year and it took forever to get out of the bath. My mum was not amused. To top it all off, some of the sparkles got in my hairbrush and I could not get them out of my hair for months, not matter how often I cleaned it! :eek:

    OK, I brought in my list tonight! The shame of it! Plus I found another couple of things when I was cleaning downstairs earlier.

    Here goes: 2.5girls/ 7 mens perfumes. 7.5 girly 3.5 mens bodyspray. 10 bath fizzers. 9 sets bath crystals/bubbles. 7 aftershave balms. 2 shaving foams. 5 boxes of monthly contacts. 4 toothbrush heads. 1 toothbrush. 2 new/ 5 open toothpaste (nearly finished one- tomorrow I think!). 1 mouthwash. 6 unopened bars soap. 7.5 bottles + 3 sachets conditioner. 13 unopened/ 3 open shampoos. 9 unopened/ 11 open shower gels. 7 unopened/ 14 open body/hand lotions. 3 facial scrubs. 2 facial washes. 1 makeup remover. 1 mask. 1 spot lotion.

    Gave lots of hair stuff to a friend at work tonight so we're both chuffed to bits with that.

    The thing that gets my goat the most with all of this is that I'm ridiculed all the time by DH's family because they think I'm obsessed with getting rid of things. Little do they know the extent of the stuff that is collected in my home (Even though they see it IYSWIM).
    Be strong ladies, save your money and free yourselves from the time spent shopping - have a bath instead!
