tara747 am being nosey, wow 10k last year well done, what are you saving for?

A house deposit. OH is saving too but doesn't have nearly as much as me unfortunately. Still, we will get there in the end!

It was fairly easy to save the £10k tbh, makes me cross that I haven't been saving enough since I started working!!! I could easily have had £60k by now. Oh well!

Thanks to shinytrousers. I think some people have trouble with the email address but it's been OK for me (fingers crossed). I'm enjoying reading all your posts - I'll post again on here later on.

i'm still in and feeling very self-disciplined. seen a few bits and bobs that i would normally have bought without thinking(and using for ages :rolleyes:).

my mum and sister are buying quite a few face serums and eve lom stuff off me. that money will go straight into the bank. NOT to be respent

my nephew is moving into his own property so he's getting a nice big box of bathroom stuff as a housewarming present. kills 2 birds with one stone.

face wipes(why? dont even use) are excellent for household cleaning. theyre all going in the kitchen cupboard.

using serum on the back of my hands and decolletee
(like french women!)
my niece is being given a lot of nail varnish (why did i buy so much? i only wear nudes )

the rest of my stuff i am going to use all the time and enjoy. i will save lots of money and look an smell fab i hope. perfume and handcream are in my bag and will get reapplied.

i'm starting to feel liberated i think. this buying of stuff and hoarding it has definitely affected me.

Good luck i remember doing that a year ago and it takes time but is worth it in the end when you have yr own place.

Tara- well done hun that's some acheivement- I'm sure you'll reach your target very soon (even sooner now your cuttting back on goodies ! )

I am going to make a huge effort to get my stash written down in black and white... think this will truely and utterly disgrace myself and give me the kick I need! I cleaned out my spare room cupboard yesterday and found another box of S&G stuff and then did my wardrobe and found another box of goodies...

It's quite scary that DD (2) is also a (mummy inflicted) product junkie.... I have allsort of lotions and potions for her so she is going to be smothered after every bath time too hahaha
