:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:. Ok then I promise!
Just had a bath while OH is watching the football and finished off a Tess Daly bath foam (from m&s christmas time glitch) and it was lovely and smelt good too but no way would I have paid £15 for it :eek:. Still, it came in a pretty glass jar which I'm going to use for storing cotton wool pads (and there's another in the gift stash so might use that too
). Also finished off an Avon overnigh hair elixir cream, would buy again if on offer as it seems to make my hair nice but wouldn't pay the rrp for it (£6).
Hello Liney :wave:. Don't think there's a thread set up for April yet but sure someone will do it soon!I want a perfect body, I want a perfect soul, I want you to notice when I'm not around[/SIZE][/FONT][/B]0 -
Argh argh argh!!!!!!! I've just been doing a little spring cleaning (nothing else to do on such a minging evening) and found a forgotten mini stash in a cupboard! I din't think that this was possible!!! It's mostly unopened stuff so that's something. There's even an Aussie 3MM in there (unopened) that I'd forgotten about! Also a few bath milks/elixirs etc. I'll stash the unopened stuff and use up the rest ASAP.
Gah!
I've also binned a Sainsbury's eye gel that's absolutely ancient, will put £1 in the pot for that as that's probably what I paid for it.Get to 119lbs! 1/2/09: 135.6lbs 1/5/11: 145.8lbs 30/3/13 150lbs 22/2/14 137lbs 2/6/14 128lbs 29/8/14 124lbs 2/6/17 126lbs

Hi!
I'd like to join you if you don't mind?
I have a mini stash of face creams, body lotions and stuff like that and plenty of Clinique and Clarins received as Xmas/birthday presents too.
BUT - I will need to buy everyday toiletries like shampoo, shower gel and deodorant as and when I need them. I have enough shampoo and conditioner to last a few weeks but will need deodorant and showergel in the next week or two.
I think my challenge should be to spend less than £10 a month on toiletries. It should be do-able?
Hope its ok to join in?0 -

Girls, I need help. One of our major causes of stash stress atm centres around a carrier bag.....which i think is a mix of toiletries and medical type thingies from our move back from Italy...but other stuff keeps getting dumped in on top.
DH has been really resistant to me throwing stuff out from it and so I've been not dealing with it.
Anyway disposing of:
loads of alka selster, all gone hard
those sachets you make after being ill for hydration...sell by 2008
loads of stuff I jst don't care to identify singly!
various course f antibiotics that haven't been finished (grrrr)
2 time empty deodorants (this causes lots of tanrums from me, why can't he throw stuff away????)
empty packet of plasters
loads of grotty loking single tea bags. I hate this sort of waste, but don't dare drink them
keeping
L'oreal perfect slim
some pills of mine still in date that I didn't collect my prescription for this week, yippee
a water pistol??
two packets of veet strips for dh
(revenge for he deodorants)
panadol
packet flu plu pills
packet of favorite talc refill opps, time four, but I can only get these in Italy
a tongue cleaning brush )(I would never buy this)
half bottle kanebo firming throat extract, this must be 12 years old...I didn' need it then, I ruddy well do now
more disposable razors
a migracool thingy (I hate these, dh loves them...I think he pretends to get headaches to use them)
packet of party feet insoles..these are mine!
about 1/4 I guess packet Frieda secret agent ..
Oh no, another bottle ofa gradual tanner, this time a nivea body one..yeah, this is mine,,,
this is where all those tubes of deep heat got too!
A mini tube of aveda hair treatment! Yippeee!
two mine tubes elvive sos repair (I like this, so yippee)
a mini tube of original source showergel....
two soaps,
a few body lotion samples
Oh, this is a good a nivea firming factor 50!
a space nk laughter bath tablet
a magicool
phew: thats some haul...
what I'm shocked at is ow many unfinished courses there have been in the last few years (I've been hauled off hings, not just stopped mid course of antibiotics) and how much we waste on OTC that go off 0
