Total ££s of products used so far.. £119.31 _pale_

Wrong again... it's actually £157 and some odd pence (not including sample sizes)! I had forgotten about some stuff *rolleyes*

Looks worse when you consider my 'rebuy percentage' is only 46% so far Yes, I am that sad

Had a great little pamper while the little one was in the bath, I did a face mask and painted my nails (another collection 2000 hot looks polish, this time bright pink. Much better than the dark grey, two coats provided adequate coverage vs three of the grey. Brush doesn't fan out well though. WIBA? Yes.).

Little one had her toes painted in the same colour as my finger nails when she came out and wanted some body lotion on when I was putting mine on :rotfl:

So proud of myself today.
Was in Boots and Body Shop and resisted everything. I even gave my last snowy to my mum this morning so I wouldn't use it. Kept saying the mantra - 'Lynne, you need NOTHING'.
So, in Asda when the OH picked up a cheap Lynx shower gel I put it back on the shelf. Told him no more til all the half used ones are finished, don't care if they aren't particularly masculine smelling
I did receive a S&G gift set from Ebay this morning throught the post but I ordered it a few days ago and it's already packed away in the gift box for 2010.
Now just about to have a nice long bath and use the last bits of my Body Shop cranberry body polish, which is lush

^I think I had the grey one you're talking about, along with another lilac creme, and they were both disappointingly streaky. I got them 2 for £3 in Superdrug a while ago.

Today I used up the remains of a Rimmel Volume Booster lipgloss. I have another full one left as at one point it was my favourite colour, but I've gone right off it now so doubt I'd repurchase it.

Also rescued 4x nail polishes and a bottle of Nicky Clarke volumising spray from a pile of stuff that my sister was going to bin. I shouldn't have done really, but it seemed a bit of a waste to chuck them out. I need to stop taking on other peoples unwanted stashes or else I'm never going to get to the bottom of mine! :o:o

Me too, its amazing how small items getting finished up is increasing the storage space all over the house! I'm a herbal tea hoarder, and I've already finished four boxes, its blissful to see small spaces appear in no-go area cupboards :rotfl::rotfl:

This is a great idea. I've just finished a bottle of shower gel and will use up all the open stuff before i start on the new. I've put the unopened products away so i'm not tempted.
It's so good to see some space in the bathroom - and it must save cleaning time?

Hubby hasn't subscribed but he is definately up for the challenge, he just doesn't realise :rotfl:

Boots had a 'gift shop' pre Christmas in the St Enoch centre in Glasgow that had all the 3 for 2 stuff in it. After Christmas it turned into a clearance shop, but it's closed now

Beckton, London E16. It's mentioned further up this thread too.

I am in the same boat; think of the money saved on these things though, rather than 12 lots a year, we only need 2!!:j

Oh don't laugh, i've been on norethisterone for 2.5 years so haven't had a period in all that time :j:j but still keep buying them and use them to keep feeling fresh!!!
