    I am trying to use certain things up but when I was sorting through the piles of bottles in my dressing table I found loads of bottles of shampoo, conditioner, hair sprays and products, cleansers etc all about 95% full (where I've tried them and don't like them, or bought in an emergency).

    I know these are things I won't ever use but feel bad (financially and enviromentally) about binning them - anyone any ideas what I could do with them? :confused:

    ebay?! as long as you are clear about how much has been used and when you bought them etc, people might buy.

    Well done! Yes I have also started doing this in the last few weeks. I've got loads and loads of shampoos, conditioners and shower gels so won't be buying any more until I've used up what I've already got. The bathroom is gradually starting to look less cluttered :j
