    Bath last night and used the last mini bottle of bubble bath I got a couple of Christmases ago. Hate the smell and the bubbles went really quickly but all gone now. One mini bottle of Original source left then it's just Molten Brown, Soap and Glory and Lush bombs/bars left and I'm quite happy with all of those and as I've left them to one side whilst working through all the slightly dodgy things I deserved a treat soon!

    Also used up a No7 facemask bottle I got in a skincare set after Christmas and a 50ml bottle of Lancome 3in1 from a GWP which is well over a year old :rolleyes: (one more of these on the go atm in my bedroom too) and 1 razor blade.

    Then this morning razor blade in shower needed replacing and I've finished my cleansing exfoliating facewash too - last thing from all that free stuff I got from Boots last Autumn bar a sachet of face mask I think :T:T

    I'm very glad Boots doesn't seem to have many good offers at the moment (do go and check the Boots thread a bit - oops - old habits and all that) so the temptation hasn't been there so much but I think making a list and realising what I had has really helped.

    Used up some more things!!! :j:j:j

    1x15ml Elemis Cream Moisturising Mask (1 down 1 left :D)
    1xSilky Mit sandpaper for leg hair removal (used it for half a leg then threw away :p)
    1x Gatineau Collegen Eye pad set (1 pair down 11 left to go :o)
    1x 50ml Decleor Foot Cream

    Face mask supplies reducing in size ever so slowly, that'll teach me for buying so so many :o

    Hi all. Still not brave enough to do the list. Also, I think it would take me ages! I have found that I have at least 3 mascaras in reserve. And let's not start on face masks! I finished a body scrub today and I think I'll finish a Clarins night gel later. And still haven't bought any clothes. Really need to save some money at the moment so this challenge is great. It's a positive activity rather than just feeling broke and sorry for myself. So thanks for all your support guys. Take care and happy-not-shopping!

    I had another chocolate blip. I really have a craving for sugar that other sweet things don't seem to do. That was blip number 4!

    On the plus side I have finished a Lancome face cream that I was a bout quarter full for about a year. Oh well, that's gone thankfully. Am using some tiny testers that I must have got ages ago.

    I still have sooooooo much left! I can do this challenge for another 2 goes for some things!

    catch up with you all soon.

    Well done everyone - I think this is the best challenge ever, up until I started it I kept Boots, Superdrug, Semi-Chem in business, now I only buy as and when I need! Looking forward to having two of everything (at the most)!

    Used up a bath foam last night and another perfume and hair styling gel are almost used up too!

    Have a nice day everyone x

    Yesterday I finished my can of hair mousse, didn't have another one so went to Boots and bought another can with my giftcard - only 97p but no cash spent :T

    Also did an avon order as I really like the shampoo I've been using from there and it's nice and cheap - will come in a couple of weeks so hopefully the current ones will last until then.

    Still doing ok for now and I needed more mousse and shampoo but still feels odd buying them :rolleyes:
