3. Find 10 things to list on Ebay, put on Turbolister and prepare for free listing day.

4. Tidy jackets.

[strike]5. Inventory toiletries. [/strike]

Toiletries

Hmmm....I think it's a good thing that the Boots thread on Grabbit went away. I have an embarrassing amount of toiletries. This doesn't include the stuff I got in the S&G hatbox that I know I won't use and have hidden away to use in Christmas hampers.

• Nivea Happy Time body lotion (Half price in clearance section in Boots)
  
• S&G Heel Genius
• S&G iFoam shower gel x 3 (In my defence it smells amazing and will last me ages. Honest.)
• S&G mini shower gel
• S&G Body Butter x 2
• S&G Moisturising Mist
• Hair mask (Huge tub of)
• No 7 shower gel x 2 (Bought using £5 off voucher from Boots till spit)
• Olay cleanser x 4 Another £5 off set of purchases. Think a couple of these might end up on Ebay to be honest
• Dentyl mouthwash
• Cleansing wipes
• Toothpaste x 2
• Shampoo x 2
• Conditioner x 2
• Deodorant x 3
• Miscellaneous shower gels x 7 :o:o:o:o
• Mr Fresian's shower gels x 4

I'm off to sign up for the challenge to avoid buying toiletries for as long as possible, I clearly need [strike]very little[/strike] nothing at all until the end of the month and that should only be mouthwash. The list above doesn't even include everything sitting in the shower....shampoo&conditioner, hair mask, iFoam shower gel, S&G facewash, other shower gel.

Jeez....

Your toiletries list is making me uneasy about everything I have...

Thankfully I can't open the drawer properly as a light timer is in the way - shame! :rolleyes: :rotfl:

It is, but the more I do early in the month, the more time I have to sit on my erse later on :A
