OH is having a bath, hope he has used up the last of the M&S lemon sherbert bubble bath ( WIBA- it was a gift, so Ill say a polite no

Cant wait for my turn I am going to do the feet, toenails, face mask regime.

thifty

wow this thread moves fast! Thanks for answering the WIBA question.
I have used up since Wed a deodrant and a handwash (which i have re-filled with some bubble bath ha ha:money:) so glad i saw that tip on the telly as I don't know why i have never thought of doing it before. We have 5 sinks and get through lots so an 89p Sainsbugs bubble bath should be v barginous.
I have a confession, i tried to use the Boots glitch online to get more Olay stuff i din't need with a voucher and there was no stock left:o Am glad now.
Oh and i moved my bedside table to clean behind and found a hand cream! Only half empty though so shouldn't take long to get rid of.

Are any of you having more showers a day just to get rid of stuff:rotfl:

forgot to mention that me and mum went int lush yesterday, I just don't understand what all the hype is about lush, it's really expensive and although the products look pretty and smell pretty I couldn't imagine using them. We both walked out empty handed smelling of all the products we'd prodded and poked. Will prop pop to asda today but won't go down the toiletries sections. Don't need anything.

I used to buy from them years ago when they first launched - I think they were called Cosmetics to Go then? Haven't bought anything in years though and it doesn't appeal to me at all now.

Included in that are 5x tubes of E45 cream (I get through a tube every week, and I need this for a skin problem) which are a necessity.

Just a thought - my OH uses the same sort of cream but he finds that the Boots equivalent is just as good - and it's a fraction of the cost.

Hiya, please can I join you all. Im just soo embarrassed. I decided to have a bit of a sort out yesterday. It seemed that every draw and cupboard had toilertries and lotions in them. After counting 9 shower gels and 12 Liz Earle c&p I gave up:o Have more eye creams than I can shake a stick at as my gran used to say:eek:
I seriously dont think I will have to replace any thing till next year!!
If I can keep up my resolve Boots and QVC will have a big dent in their profits and I'll have room to move about in the house. Always knew I am a clutter bug and love my Elemis and L'Occitane but need to use them not just collect them

Hi, welcome to the thread and i know exactly what you mean about the collecting habit, but believe me it has been great using them up too, just need to stay away from the grabbits board:D

i think it does smell lovely, but i would never pay their prices. FYI - if you join their facebook page they run a competition on their status every couple of days where you 'like' the status and they draw a number of names out of a hat. if you win you send them your address and they send u freebies. I won it once in December and got a box with a soap, bath bomb and body butter (small tub). All the smell - none of the price. :j

Thankyou to all you lovely, kind people for suggestions for keeping me on the straight and narrow. I can't really answer the questions about why I do what I do as I don't understand it myself. In the short term I have now given my debit card to my dh. His jaw nearly hit the floor.
With regard to ebaying my unopened purchases. I don't have anything unopened, that's part of my thing, I open it literally as I walk out of the shop.
Yes, I know that is too weird but its true. I also hate paypal with a passion (long story) and I believe you can't ebay without a paypal account? I also dislike ebay and never shop on there, irrational I know, but there it is.
I shop when I'm bored, happy, sad , stressed. I think you know what I am getting at. I need to find a replacement activity. I think I have been a shopaholic since I was a teenager but it has got worse with age. So I don't think it is going to be easy for me to just change overnight. But I so want to stop.

Actually Lynz I feel quite pathetic when I think about the very real troubles that other people have in this world. But thankyou for your kind words.
I am sure if I keep reading the posts on here and read my many books that I will make a breakthrough. I think it's now or never.

Hi all :hello:,

I've been following this thread for few days and was really inspired to declutter my stash. Yesterday I had a declutter in my cupboard and do not need to buy any toiletries probably until Xmas

But I need to buy hand cream and body butter as I'm on the last tube of S&G Hand Cream & Righteous Butter. Can you luvelies give me some idea about Body Shop Vit E & Hemp body butter? Anybody use this before and is it any good?:)

I'm going to try Lacura serum as I've been using No 7 P&P Serum before, even though my skin feels smooth after using it however I could not justify the price :eek:
