    Another NSD for me today.
    Someday soon I'll have to follow you guys and do a stock take on some of the things I have. Although toiletries etc aren't in my challenge I know I have lots lurking that I really should use up!

    Hi all,
    i broke the challenge a couple of days ago as I brought a bottle of disenfectant. I don't usually even buy this stuff but have to admit I brought it because of the swine flu. The only good thing is i can guarantee I wont be buying anything else from my banned list for the next few weeks because I am not going shopping at all. I am just making do.

    Still successful here - Avon catalogue came yesterday had a quick flick and back by the door ready to be given back next week - no order placed :j

    Finally used up a pot of Lancome moisturiser I've had for a while and not got very far down - think maybe because it costs quite a bit I was afraid to use it which is rediculous so I've put the ones I've got more recently and been using away and have just used the Lancome ones and have finally finished it - I did like it and my skin is looking better - but probably partly due to religiously using my serum and moisturiser and stuff each day which I'm normally bad at doing :rolleyes:

    The final shower/bath gel used up today from a hotel trip abroad OH made 18 months ago which have just sat in the cupboard since so I'm pleased - onto my next random one now - have my bottle of soap and glory which I love looking at me in the shower every day but I want to use all the random things up first.

    Sorry for the long post - it's good therapy this writing this down :o

    Welcome "so here we are" :wave:

    I've just sold some Lush soaps from the post Christmas grab bag I got - love lush bath bits but not so keen on the soap, or soap in general, so £4 to add to the pot - £26 so far :j

    Another good couple of days for me, although just received a mini pot of nivea and a nivea sachet in the post I ordered from the freebies board, so the pile isn't going down any but I haven't spend any money

    Hi Everyone

    Still not bought any chocolate - managed to get my fix from work. I have had to buy a couple of toiletries that I have run out of but that should keep me going for about 6 months!

    Another NSD for me. Bank holiday may be tough as I'm fighting the urge to buy Summer clothes....I really don't need any more!
