    I've been nuaghty *hangs head in shame*

    I put 8 bars of Johnson's baby soap in with the Tesco.com delivery yesterday :o

    In my defence, OH paid for it, and we had totally ran out of soap.

    Am I forgiven? :D 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. ;)

    hollyh- 12 conditioners :eek: Shame on you :p x

    Actually conditioner makes a good substitute to shaving foam! xx
  • 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 up :D

    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:j

    OK, your honour :o

    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 know :p and I'[m most humbly sorry - I will recieve my punishment with good grace!
