  • hi guys, this is my first ever posting as i've just joined. Been reading the threads for some time now so thought it was time to join up. This is a fantastic idea. Like many of you I have a cupboard full of smellies and being a newly converted S&G fanatic, I am trying my hardest not to buy more and clutter up the place. I could open up my own version of Boots as it is! :T
    :hello:No more toiletries challenge :T

  • i'm in! after raiding the lush sale i have lots of lovely toiletries and tbh i had more than enough toiletries anyway :rotfl:
    Comping since August 2022

    The only thing I might need to buy before the end of the month is moutwash as we only have one bottle left. I think I saw Dentyl on BOGOF though, so I'm going to try and get a good deal if I can!

    The other thing I need to buy is Benefit Dandelion Powder. I genuinely can't be without it and I'm scraping the sides of it just now. I'm just trying to decide if I'm likely to spend enough money in the 75% off sale (assuming it comes) to give me enough Boots points to pay for the powder on its own. I have about £17 in points on my card at the moment.

    Decisions, decisions!

    I like the idea of money in the tin when you use something up!
    Received a belated Christmas present yesterday... another bath and shower set!!

    My cosmetic task for the day is to sort out the nail varnishes etc and make a reso;ution to use it at least once per week.
    Still no spends!

    I have 18 hairbrushes as i ordered them from avon, 1 set for me and 1 set for my daughter who is 2.

    Plus a few other more ''expensive'' brushes from boots. The big barrelled ceramic ones for getting loads of lift.

    I found loads more stash this morning, DF isnt impressed with me, saying its money wasted if i dont use it. BUT I WILL.

    I only ever buy stash if i use my points or there is a £5 off No7 voucher going around.

    Which makes me wonder how much i soend in boots on baby stuff to accumulate the points and vouchers in the 1st place.

    Did i mention i have 170 packs of johnsons sensitive baby wipes in a box under the stairs.



    Since we all have massive stashes of stuff i was wondering if people had tips for alternative uses for products or ways to make our most vital products go a bit further?

    The only 1 tip i can think of is that conditioner makes a great alternative to shaving lotion.
    :TIs thankful to those who have shared their :T
    :T fortune with those less fortunate :T
    :T than themselves - you know who you are!

    :eek::eek::eek::eek:

    Makes me glad I have no storage space!!

    I'm thinking about going through mine objectively and putting some of the better stuff on Ebay and offering the things I know I won't use for ages on Freecycle. At least then it's out of the house and Project Declutter will move forward a step!

    I use babywipes as face wipes... theyre good for sensitive skin :) as they're meant for babies bums! They're also a quick fix for cleaning stuff up? x

    I will post my list in a while once i've sorted the stash...but beware i've been "collecting" make up for the past couple of years :s
