    Another successful day for me, really enjoying the feeling of using stuff up. Got a lipstick nearly finished, and used the last of a small bottle of conditioner brought home from a hotel in 2007:embarasse

    Day four could have been better! I think giving up the booze has unveiled a chocolate addiction that I didn't know I had ;) !!! Had to buy some bits for DB's lunchbox including chocolate biccies.....and now need to buy more chocolate biccies :rotfl: shhhh, don't tell him will you :D:D:D

    I've used up 2 shower gels and a facial wash:j They just missed being finished on the last challenge but at least I'm off to a good start.

    Used my cc again today but it was to book a holiday which is prebudgeted and will be paid for as soon as bill comes in:j Hooray for cashback credit cards:beer:

    Day 7 good for me too! Even managed to obtain (from a friend) six small samples of perfume that she was throwing out - they smell lush so will be going on holiday with me - save me using the (ahem will count them tonight along with my toiletries) tons of perfume I have! Just as well loads of stuff got 40p in my purse til tomorrow!

    :eek: day five :eek: not very happy with me, stressful day at work meant a 4pm lunch and an asda sarnie (reduced, so could have been worse :)) but still cross with myself for buying food at work!! :mad: really battling this chocolate addiction, seems to be restricted to rocky bars oddly enough :D

    better day tomorrow......hopefully!

    Another day without any new clothes or mags- avoiding the shops seems to help me!!

    Confession time - my avon order arrived today but it was only £3 (2 tubes of face mask that were in the sale brochure :rolleyes:) however I did order these before the challenge started so I'm not counting this as a fail and won't order anything else from Avon until my current stash is used obviously :o

    Also a sachet of hand cream from my Gardeners World mag - as if I need more sachets ;) - will use it soon.

    Well as promised to the lovely Sarahneedle I have at long last parceled up the QVC RLM Silver Heart Ring. I thought long and hard about it and it was the thought of having it and never wearing it that made me do it. I have often done this in the past and they lay unworn in the drawer. I promised myself I would never dothis again - RETURNED

    Also RETURNED - Birkinstocks - knew really I didn't need another pair and couldn't justify it financially

    Also RETURNED - Wild Organics Discovery Set. I nearly kept it and again told myself I had more than enough travel sized items.

    All are parcelled up, forms filled in ready to take to the post office in the morning. I feel better about this now I have done it as I have thought about it almost every day of the last month without doing it.

    Really no more QVC items to be ordered now. These are on their way back tomorrow.

    Also to join in the using up debate, I finished a Liz Earle Gentle Face Exfoliator today, which is a shame in a way as it is one of my favourite products to use. Maybe will get again once to rest of the huge stockpile of exfoilators has gone in about 12-18mths time!

    I also have a confession to make

    I went to buy the birthday present, BUT then I went and looked at stuff for me too

    Big mistake, I came home with 5 tops BUT they are summer ones and I will not buy any more so......dont feel too bad about it.

    But I shall update my sig:cool:
