Finished another nail varnish today. Is it cheating if you keep going for the items that seem to have the least in them?

I'm with this. I keep going for the small items. Its all progress though

My new St Tropez airbrush tan and exfoliator arrived today. :j I had none in stock and had ran out :eek: got a total bargain. They are about £32-£35 for both in the shops. Someone was selling one of the Boots gift sets (so got 3 other items as well) for £14.99 including postage. Very MSE and basically stupid not to go for it. The items I won't use are going straight on eBay instead of cluttering :j:T

Stay strong sales addict


:oSorry love, I did weaken but only £9 worth which is progress for me:o
I think I can control my lift and luminate obsession as I stumbled across a stash of
various bottles, tubes and jars of illuminating stuff. If I put a dab of everything on at once I could rival the Blackpool illuminations, well , Southend anyway:o

What did you buy:shocked::shocked:

No, it's sensible.

Phew, finally caught up! - you lot can't half chat but it's great that you're keeping each other focussed!

I'm pretty pleased in that I bought 10 different tubes of new boots and avon products from my stash and sold them through work for a total of £19.50! So 10 less things to clutter up the house, some of which I'd never of used unless forced, most were free or very cheap, e.g. No7 things with vouchers etc and some money to spend on things I want when I really need them!

A tip for those of you with with tonnes of Avon products etc if you work in an office, school, university etc or have family that do sort a box of random new showergels, bubble baths, moisturisers etc and put them in the staff room/send an email round/post on small ads if you have something like that on your intranet (I work at a Uni and that's how I do it) and see how you do. When I went a bit mad with Tesco offers a couple of years ago and they ended up paying me to take shower gel away I realised I was never going to use it all and ended up listing it through work at something like 80p each, 10 for £5 and it meant people got a bargain, I got rid and so on (I only had about 30 I didn't have as many as some people!)

Must try and count the stash this weekend and see what I have left, if I can sell anything else!

I finished off an Yves St Laurent mascara today and tomorrow will be the end of a bottle of perfume and Tommy Guns d3w drops (I love this and Boots have stopped selling it) This is the last one from my massive stash. Will have to finish up the John Fri3da frizz ease, although I don't like it as much, I got two travel size ones but will empty them before buying more.

DS has finished 2 half bottles of Lynx shower gel and has a half used Boots one to go, then and only then will I give him the Lynx sets he had for Christmas to use :T

Thank you! I will def have a look at that. She's 3 and has very fine but curly hair and wakes up with such a birds nest every morning!! We use loads of the stuff lol.

My dh is driving me nuts!! He gets near the bottom of something (showergel, mouthwash, hair products) and buys a new one, which is fine BUT he starts the new one and doesn't finish the old one!!!! Drives me mad..........

Evening Everyone :j

I went into town after work to get some stationary bits for uni and remembered about the Boots sale. I walked all the way up the hill (while carrying about a years supply of folders, paper etc!) got to the entrance and couldnt actually be bothered to go in so i walked back down the hill to car park I'm rather impressed with myself! :rotfl:

This morning i finished a mini bottle of Molton Brown shower gel, only about a million to go! :rotfl:

Well done Jewelleryfan!! :j

I went into Boots today and bought absolutely nothing. I can't guarantee that I will be able to bin the £5 No7/Ruby & Millie voucher though....
