    Day 29 out of 34 good for me! Used up a Palomo Picasso small perfume and an Olay moisturiser, another one will be finished in a couple of days! Think I'm down to about 235 items!

    at least you know you won't run out for a while! :)

    Just finished a L'Occitane Rose hand cream... other than that its slowing down a bit now.... shows how much full size stuff I still have!

    Liz Earle TSV tonight, so will be testing myself again... no idea where my card is, so won't be buying unless its a REALLY good offer.... even then, this challenge will *hopefully* make me think twice :o

    Day 41 for me (I think) and still going....

    Boots sent me a mailing for their new Protect and Perfect Intense serum which annoyed me as I'm only in my 20s and certainly don't have deep lines and wrinkles! So I've sent a moaning email :o made me feel better anyway and will probably give someone at Boots a laugh in the morning :rolleyes:

    Cosmetics I sold on ebay all posted off today so that's a few bits less hanging around and my new regime of actually using things rather than acquiring them is still going well so I'm pleased :A

    Sold a deodorant today through workk - so 50p to add and another item gone :T
    It's not much but I got them when Boots basically paid you to take them away and gave you vouchers off skincare and No7 back in the autumn, I didn't go mad, only did it a few times and did manage to get lots of skincare for free which I've now almost finished but I find deodorants last a while so thought I'd try and clear them out as they keep glaring at me from my stash box :o

    Survived the Liz Earle TSV today.... by falling asleep! :D Also, there was nothing there that I a) needed or b) didn't already have in one form or another! Easy peasy.... for now! :o

    Well done S, wondered today how you had done. I had a quick peek this morning and thought I AM NOT BUYING IT! There was only the exfoliator I like now and the body scrub but not in the small size. Lookily the presenter put me off within minutes and I put BBC Breakfast happily back on!

    Well done Sarah :T

    I've survived another day, but I'm running out of hair moose and don't have a stash of it :eek:. Any tips on a super duper moose? I've got fine hair that's between ear and shoulders and is a bit wavy if dried naturally so I generally use moose, dry and then straighten and do this every day, I've been using Boots Essentials moose which is about £1 and is ok but the one the hair dresser uses is better but c£15 - anything in between that people swear by?!
