    The numbers have gone down from 427 items to 413 although the numbering of the items I have listed goes up to 416 so don't know where I've gone wrong there though but at least the numbering is going in the right direction.

    Will probably finish a bubble bath in the next couple of days (depends how liberal hubby will be when he has his bath later or whether he decides to have a shower instead) and probably a shower gel tomorrow. My item numbers won't go down as I already have a spare in the bathroom cupboard and already have another bb and sg waiting on the side of the bath to be used so unfortunately my numbers will be staying the same for the time being.

    I'm hoping to finish my moisturiser some time soon but it seems to be never ending :mad:

    Not really nearing the end of anything else. Why do things last longer when you don't want them to? :mad:

    Evening ladies, been looking at the boots sale thread and i do feel so relieved that im doing this challenge, its like a weight of my shoulders not having to buy the ridiculous amounts of gifts sets i just had to have.


    xx

    Same here, it is such a relief!!!
    LOL... sorry... but you really did just make me giggle because I had that exact reaction when I found another bottle of the dreaded Timotei conditioner. Seriously that stuff is haunting me. I thought I was nearly finished the last bottle but no!!! I could have cried.

    Would your mum/sister/gran like it? Then you could do them a good turn and get rid of the dreaded shampoo at the same time, win win situation!!! :T:T

    I am just catching up on the thread so sorry for my replies being so late xo

    :eek: ................that would've paid for an extra holiday!

    See how my mind works :rotfl:


    Bronnie,

    I always read your posts, I am hoping to mindmeld with you;)
    I am trying to put all my mistakes behind me and have that holiday
  • :eek: wow that's one heck of a collection.

    I think part of the reason I've amassed so much makeup is because I'm not one of those people who's constantly rushing off to the toilets to retouch their makeup - I apply it once in the morning and pray that it lasts all day. Even lip products... if they wear off when I'm out, most of the time I don't bother reapplying them. Maybe I should though :o

    I'm still haven't finished anything other than 1 sachet of body lotion.

    I'm forever applying, reapplying. I dread to think how much I have swallowed over the years:eek:

    To be honest, with the amount of lotions you have to get through, I can't see how you will get through them all before they go off. Maybe your best bet would be to sell some of them and recoup at least some of the money?

    Best of luck! :T

    On my quest to declutter my stash, I have started to use some of my free sachets... Anyway, I just used an amazing Lancome face serum that has made my skin feel so amazing, I now want to buy it (oops)!!

    I also found 2 half used bottles of M&S bubble bath hidden away in my bathroom (I am sure they were hiddden because I wasn't keen on them, but for some reason couldn't bring myself to throw away). I also found some other bits (which I can't remember now), my stash seems never ending. My aim is to use up the half used stuff before I let myself loose on my S&G and other lovely unopened products! I am trying not to be wasteful though...

    Ive been alternating all my products by using one i really really like with one i sort of like, so i dont get bored.

    Well done! :T I think it just gets to the point where you can't use it all up, so you might as well get some money and space out of it. That way it's a win-win situation. :D
