  • Hi all

    Am doing OK and exhibited a great show of strength when I resisted some amazing smelling body wash that had been reduced from £15 to £5. I will use the 4 1/2 bottles I already have before I buy any more. My shampoo and conditioner are going down nicely as is my face cream I have been using on my legs. The shower gel is a decent brand so you don't need much and it is going on FOREVER... I can't wait to get to the bottom of it and crack the next one open. I also have LOADS of bath stuff but rarely take a bath so shall have to start having one every week to try and make a dent in that.

    I will become a clutterfree bathroom goddess, I will I tell you

  • SO far so good although going to Tesco tomorrow for the months shop. I will have to half cheat though because I will have to by some Febreze as one of the cats peed on the bed :S although its not TECHNICALLY a kitchen cleaner so I will keep telling myself that!! lol.

    Apart from that, nothing new bought!!

    Can't wait for everything to run out so I can just buy what is needed and not have all the dregs around the place!!

    Thanks for adding me - day one was a success:j :p

    Have you tried bicarb of soda on the bed - its good for drawing out odours and stains and definitely isn't a kitchen cleaner...

    Tell me about it, that's just what i am like. Isn't it weird when you see these reduced products and before you would have bought them and put them away with all of the others without thinking about it!

    This challege has really made me think about this and now I have about 20 face masks in the bathroom cupboard which I have stopped using and 3 or 4 tubes of exfoliators. :o Good grief! :o

    Thinking about what you said I am making myself have 2 face masks a week with an exfoliate first and a bath a week to use things up, that sounds a nice thing to do why is it so hard?!

    Bring on the clutterfree bathroom! :j

    My aim is to have one stand in the bathroom with products in and only ones I use. At the moment I have 3 and a cupboard.:o

    This is *so* much harder than I imagined, I'm really struggling now - I'm convinced that I need new clothes, and my life will be so much better with a good DVD or 2 to watch. :(

    Managing to stay strong so far though.
