No buying new toiletries etc until.....

today I lined up all the travel sized Body Shop stuff in its various 'flavours' and then found the equivalent big bottles and decanted them. Will use the little ones for the gym and put the rest in suitcase for weekend breaks etc. I am going to start using up some Hugo Boss stuff that I don't really like and won't replace, whereas I will replace the body shop stuff.

Have also checked and I have 4 little body butters and 5 big ones, enough to last for years! Thats without all the various cleansers and moisturisers.

Today I have used up a body scrub, now finishing up a body balm that I found in the back of the drawer.

2 x half jars of face moisturiser that I was not keen on have been mixed together and I will use it for my decollette & neck, so as not to waste it.

I love this idea and have inspired me to go and look at what I have in my bathroom especially as I want to save for a new bathroom this year. I also had a lot of new molton brown smellies for xmas so I went to have a sort out and this is my list so far (only 1 cupboard done)
6 full size molton brown shower / bath gels
28 100ml molton browns
6 new 200ml molton browns
( I like to keep them for best - when the blinking heck is ''best''?)
260+ tampax (15 boxes!!!!)
10 packs of always ultra
8 bottles of shampooo BUT only 1/2 a bottle of conditioner
OH has 9 l'occitane/clinique and molton brown shaving gels (all for that 'BEST')
4 botanics shaving gels (and I still have to nag him to shave)
6 tubes of toothpaste

DS's bag = 11 bottles of character bubble bath - most off santa this year
8 johnson's top to toe wash or bubble bath

It was my birthday yesterday and I had smellies of most people. I wont need to by any body lotion or body butter for ages and ages!

No matter how much body butter I seem to put on, the amount in the bottle still seems to be the same...
And I seem to spraying body mist on me about 10 times a day!! The OH thinks we have a new air freshner :eek:

Well done! :T Even as dregs that's a lot to get through and will at least create some space for you.

This is the list of stuff that is on display in my bathroom (and in my bathroom cupboard)… I have a lot of stuff stashed which is made up of clinique miniatures from GWP’s and other full size bits and pieces (that I am too scared/lazy to go through right now).

I also have loads of make up (including a stupid amount of eyeshadows) that I can’t bring myself to list as it would take me all day! I threw out a few things that I was never going to use yesterday (and used up a full size Molton Brown Shower Gel this morning), but this list is still massive… (and doesn’t include the stuff in my gym bag or handbag)… eeek!!!
