I used up a hand cream sachet last night and have started an eye cream one and a moisturiser one so they should be finished soon as well. This is getting addictive finding things to use up.

I've been nuaghty *hangs head in shame*
I put 8 bars of Johnson's baby soap in with the Tesco.com delivery yesterday
In my defence, OH paid for it, and we had totally ran out of soap.
Am I forgiven?On the upside though, I managed to avoid Avon's free delivery offer today
Totally! Personally, I think for families it's more than acceptable and sensible for families to have a stash of 6-8 showel gels, toothpastes and family shampoos etc. in case of illness, emergencies and bad weather. I think it's all the other extras that are the problem.Please call me 'Pickle'

Actually conditioner makes a good substitute to shaving foam! xx0 -
i've opened up some bars of soap and put them in drawers to make them smell nice. i will never buy bars of soap again as i don't use them.
washing my hair entails using: hair moistureiser, shampoo,colour booster,conditioner, mousse, serum.each time :rolleyes:
handcare: serum,handcream,moistureising gloves - nail varnish and remover and cotton wool pads.
feet:put s&g foot balm on then socks. this has made my feet feel and look great.
bath/shower: gels,oils,exfoliators,bath skin cream,moistureiser - every time.
it is a bit of a performance but stuff is getting used up and my skin and hair look much better for it. i am going to keep it up0 -
P.S. Just come to the end of my handcream. That's 3 bottles down in a week!
I love hand creams. Using M&S Almond, Magnolia and Royal Jelly. Won't need to buy any for a long, long time. When I de clutter my bedroom I'm sure I'll find a few more.:rotfl::rotfl:I went away and now I'm back.:j:j0 -
why eight?! own up to the jury!
OK, your honour
Usually I only actually buy 4.
But OH told me to get 2 of all essentials (washing detergent, soap etc) as come the next time we will need it he will be so skint he wont be able to afford it (we've just bought a new car)
Very poor defence I knowand I'[m most humbly sorry - I will recieve my punishment with good grace!
