  • Hi,

    I havent posted on here for a few days but ive used up another few toiletries. I've joined the No buying Toiletries thread which is helping my huge stash!

    I've decided to give a big Sancutary set i had for christmas to my friend for her birthday in Feb.

    I've listed some books to swap on Read it Swap it and ive given a few i wont read to my mum who loves reading.

    I sold 9 dvd's on Amazon but i havent had time to start with ebay yet.

    Hope everyone else is getting on ok :D

  • Hi all,

    I've used up a shower gel from xmas. And also some bath bombs or what every you call them. Almost used 1 perfume but already have about 6 others that need using. Also started reading a book that I have been meaning to ready for over a year. I cant wait to get it finished so i can sell it and get on to the next one.

  • Happy Birthday castri! :beer:

    I'd also like to join this challenge. I'm moving soon and it seems silly to pay to move/store stuff I'll never use. I'd rather sell it first!

    On the using -up side, I've got enough books to open a library (mostly presents as people know I like reading) and load of DVDs I've never watched.

    Like most peeps on here I've also got a small branch of Boots in the bathroom.

    Someone mentioned they've got a huge stash of herbal teas - me too! How sad...

    And another thing that needs to be used is my gym contract!! I'm locked into one that I can't leave early, but I could persuade someone to take it over i.e. 'buy' it off me. But first I'll get my butt into gear and go a few times... it can't be that boring, surely?

    Good luck everyone,

    SW xx

    I've just binned a load of herbal teas as I'd had them for years and they'd lost their flavour.

    I had a bath today rather than a shower - I hardly ever have a bath but have tons of bath stuff so have started taking baths to use it up!
    I've got my own flat :j:j

    Now I have to pay the bills :eek:

    And feed my interiors addiction ;)

    Happy birthday Castri, hope you've had a fab day.

    Ok, I haven't bought any books or toiletries but don't seem to have made a lot of headway in the last few days. Someone mentioned herbal teas, I'd forgotten I have loads of those, and nice coffees too.
    I'm reading a great book at the moment, one from a massive pile. Eat, pray and love, all about getting rid of the materialistic things and being a lot happier. Coincidence? Maybe not.
    I've sold a few more bits on ebay, and sorted some more for charity today. Back in work tomorrow, so tonight is going to be spent curled up, drinking herbal tea and reading books.
    Have a fantastic night whatever you're doing. A massive thanks to everyone who has joined and inspired me to keep going.

    I have added 3 more items on ebay, and a few more bits for the tip. We are still stuck here as we live down the bottom of an extremely steep curly hill, which is sheer ice, cant even walk it! so the tip stuff is now pilling up and doing my head in, and I want rid!

    Right, had a proper luxurious bath today; used up a pot of hair masque (and now have the most luscious curls to show for it...but I'm not seeing the boyfriend this weekend!) and used up the remants of a Sanctuary exfoliator. Will finish a book when I go to bed tonight, but this one is going on my keep forever shelf! Well done everyone who's decluttering!

    Our greatest weakness lies in giving up; always try just one more time
