    Faalia I have a spare vouchers some where you can have if you want, pm me your address and you can have it ( im not going to bother, nothing I NEED:T)

    Thanks for the offer, very kind, but I should resist. I'll probably find myself with one before the offer ends anyway, either from me or someone I know, hehe. :)

    Is there any reason why I couldn't use shampoo as handwash, like if I decant it into a handwash bottle? Are any of the ingredients likely to make the skin on my hands worse/wrinkly (you know, like detergent hands)?

    I'm also debating the whole conditioner-as-shaving-gel thing... I have an apricot conditioner that makes me hair so greasy, and I've run out of shaving gel. I'm going to give it a try and hopefully it won't make my legs itch!

    I've used conditioner as shaving gel before, it does a good job but does make your bath or shower tray very slippery, so be careful. :)
  • Arrrrggggggggghhhh.............. In the shower today I found another facial scrub, hiding away in the back of the shelves...
    I don't think I realised how bad I am, especially if I see a "bargain"

    I admit, I have been on the grabbit board, for the Boots 75% sale, but it is purely for gifts, ie coffee hampers... Nothing for me....honest...
    :hello:No more toiletries challenge :T

    I'm not sure we're all agreed on anything, other than that we're all trying to use up our toiletries, one way or another. ;)

    Evening all, definately just the toiletry challenge at the moment for me, but I will be looking into curbing my cleaning addiction soon too:rotfl:. Talking of toiletries i have just finished an fcuk pure scrub and must say its divine, my arms are really smooth and it smells lovely so when i do actually need to replace my scrubs in about 6 months time or so:o it will probably be one i would buy again. At the moment im using tony and guy detox shampoo and that really does get your hair clean. If you just wash it once thats perfectly fine, but if you do it twice then your hair gets that really deep clean squeak, great if you suffer from product overload etc.
    Hope your all doing well and as usual good luck.

    Used up a shampoo and conditioner this morning, only two big bottles of each to go :rotfl:
  • Im awful for buying toiletries. every sort of 6 to 8 weeks i do a 'big' shop so to speak of what i need, shampoo, wipes, sanitary towels, hairspray etc, just buy what ive run out of, but my prob is buying things on offer in between and forgetting ive got enough at home lol.

    I love cheap baby wipes unfragranced for my skin, ive got sensitive skin, they are so much cheaper and last a lot longer, anyone else use baby wipes?

    I did use baby wipes until my bootsing addiction got hold and now i have loads of no7 wipes (all bought with £5 mocs) 17 wipes(were 99p lus free nailpolish) olay wash cloth things (bought with £5mocs) so im probably a long way of from going back to the baby wipes yet:D.

    A while back bought some Simple baby wipes in Poundland/Pound Shop for a £1. Would not use cheap shop brand baby wipes on my skin. Like CompletelyLost they make my skin sore.
    I went away and now I'm back.:j:j
