    Yorkielass - what does GWP mean :confused: I have seen this a lot on the Boots Thread and I have no idea what it refers to, just curious that's all.

    GWP = Gift With Purchase.
    I've fallen for a few of these until I realised it was suckering me into buying something I don't want, just to get something I don't need...:rolleyes:

    fedup that is a huuuge list of moisturisers and masks:eek: but at least you have the guts to do a count. I don't:o

    My everlasting moisturisers and serum are still going:eek:

    I know it is a huuuge amount and I am not proud in any way :o however the truth is out there now!

    Quite unbelievably I have cleared a shelf on one of the bathroom product storage units I have!

    The other 2 shelves are looking emptier too and I am hoping to fit the items on there in other places in the bathroom and getting rid of it!

    Will feel better when this goes, why do I need a small cupboard, a unit with 3 baskets and a unit with 3 shelves?

    Onwards and upwards as they say! :D

    Fed up, as robbo said GWP = gift with purchase. When I went through all my bits and pieces I had so many little 5/10/15 ml sachets, pots, tubes etc that I've been given when buying things, used to buy a few lancome and estee lauder bits and always tried to time it when it was gift time in Boots, and have managed to obtain lots of No& gifts too thanks to the Boots thread :o:o Have managed to get through or sell most of it though.

    Hi S, I think it is day 74 today meaning we finish on 22 July :D

    Just finished a Umberto Gianni Curl Spray 50ml mini size today, due to finish a couple of other item soon (when I have scraped the dregs out!)

    Was given a couple of bottles of bubble bath - not 14 though :eek: - that's hilarious! Only problem is....our house doesn't have a bath!:rotfl:

    I know its really bad.:o haha at the bath though.

    Hiya magni how are you?

    Well done fedup on clearing a shelf!

    So far we've used up:-
    four bottles of factor 50 suncream
    1 tube of toothpaste (have 3 to go)
    half a large bottle of moisturiser
    2 bottles of shower gel
    2 bottles shampoo and conditioner
    1 and a half bottles of handwash

    Still have loads to get through though but at least i can a crack of light shining through the bathroom window!:rotfl:

    10 days now without buying anything else!
