    Happy New Year everyone!

    I have used up a Decleor Hydra Floral 50ml moisturiser - still plenty of others to go and have moved onto a travel size Liz Earle which feels nice too at this time of frostiness

    No slip ups as yet now and just toothpaste required!
    final unsecured debt to repay currently £8333

  • Ended up buying 2 for £5 Pantene as it worked out to be the best value (have been straightening my hair every day since I had it cut so need something that will moisturise) plus bought a hair masque as a treat - only £4.66. I still have half a bottle of shampoo, and half a bottle of conditioner to use, so I probably could have waited another week for them, but the masque is definitely needed now! Lol! Otherwise nothing else bought... was tempted by OHs hairgel being half price again..... but remembered the 9 tubes in the cupboard already, and resisted!

    Hi Sarah
    is it too late to join in this?

    Having seen Flying_fresians toiletries inventory it prompted me to look at my own.

    I currently have opened:-
    3 different body shop shampoo's
    3 different conditioners
    4 little body shop shower gels
    1 big body shop shower gel
    1 Dove shower gel
    1 FCUK shower gel
    1 FCUK body whip stuff
    1 Elizabeth Arden Green Tea
    Hugo Boss stuff - which I don't even like
    Boots Sanctuary bath stuff - can't use bath

    DS stuff
    1 Head & Shoulders
    2 shower gels -lynx

    That's not including Christmas pressies and stuff left over from hampers etc. that aren't opened yet. So will not open any more until all existing used up and will not buy any until near to running out.

    1) Not to buy any magazines.
    and
    2) To take food to work rather than buy.

    Hello everybody, if you read my debt diary you will know I had a major blip the other day...£45 in Lush! To be fair it was things I was running out of and I got a whole load of stuff free but still it's a lot of money isn't it. On the upside I've now got more bath and body products than I need so I won't have to buy anything for a long while yet!
