    Finally finished another shower gel.... couple of things close to being used too. Do any of you find that you use bigger squirts of the yukky stuff you're trying to use up? Or is it just me? :o

    Not just you, as it is me too!

    I have been lathering on an Herbal Elemental moisturiser I bought last year from Space NK to use it up. I bought it and started using it and thought it was good then after a few weeks thought it was rubbish and popped it back in the drawer with all the others. When I did the stock take I thought about chucking it away then decided to use it as it was lighweight for summer

    I have lathered it on it big splodges and it may well be gone by next week!

    I am more frugal with the hydra floral!

    Next moisturiser will be the opened Hope in a Jar, last one (had 7 at one stage :o) then back onto the brand new ones afterwards!

    Hi,i would like to be added as im trying to give up fizzy pop; i've only recently started drinking it but i now drink up to 2/3 cans a day at 35p a pop. I think if i can pledge to not drinnk it i can save up to £75.00.

    I have made a pot at work (concealed in a colleagues drawer) and i will dop the pennies (if i have them!) in there, this will then be used as holiday money for my holiday in Oslo in Oct (got flights from ryanair stupidly cheap!)

    Could you add me on please?

    That's me finished a Spa Sanctuary Body Scrub, hate body scrubs, feels like you have been lying in a bath of sugar! Updated my list but it doesn't seem to be getting any shorter - strange. Nite all x

    22 days to go from tomorrow! This 100 days feels like it has taken ages this time (plus I did another 30 days prior to this one)

    Woo Hoo!!!! The last of the Ojon Shampoo and Conditioner have finally gone and used up!!! Never again will I buy anymore of this stuff out of all the kits I bought I only used the shampoo and conditioner and the treatment stuff, everything else I wasn't keen on and ended up selling it all on ebay. Leson learnt in this regard!

    From tomorrow I am back on the high street brands to see how I like these (which I am sure I will!). Plus bought some from poundland so will see how this is too!

    What else is there to say, found a half empty Decleor tan accelorator in the cupboard when I tidied up so I am using this up as a body moisturiser then onto some very old Ecotan accelorator. Haven't decided if I will chuck this out or use it up yet.

    Yeah, I got my days correct, I'm at 78 I think! Not used anything else up but a few things almost finished! I'm going to try and stick to things I like, for instance I'm using a day & night moisturiser from Aldi which cost £1.99 and it's fab. My neck looked crepe (sp?) before and now it doesn't - yeah I don't look like a turkey anymore!

    nice to know this Swinstie as I was thinking about what was good about Aldi products after I use my neck products in the next few months :D Will bear this in mind for the future when I have finished lathering on the moisturiser stocks!

    Haven't been online much for a few days but have been continuing to plod along with this challenge.

    Did buy some more shampoo and conditioner and a couple of other bits from Avon which came last week but I am almost out of the shampoo and conditioner I'm using at the moment and had none left in my stash :eek: so that's ok :A

    Used up a mini perfume yesterday too but otherwise nothing else used up yet.

    Sarah I completely agree about using stuff you don't like by squeezing more out of bottles - I've done exactly the same.

    Day 79 today for those who started on Easter Monday - almost there :T

    Ooooohh!

    Felt really tempted by the Lulu TSV today, luckily read the reviews online and temptation passed. Was a bit close, didn't get as far as picking up the phone but even so!

    There's me thinking I need another facial oil, moisturiser and eye cream neck cream, cleanser :mad: when will I learn :confused: They really know how to press the buy buttons on me :mad:

    :eek: Do not buy, do not buy, do not buy, do not buy :eek:
