    I know that feeling: I could supply half the country with body moisturiser! I've just got through about 6 tubes of hand cream as well, and am nearing the end of my current one. I'm not allowed to buy anything unless its predeceesor has been fully used up. (It's clearing a nice drawer out that I can use for other things as well.)
