New Year - New Super Sleek Me!!

Ok, I have been on this site for a few years and as yet although I have had a flickering bulb and have made lots of changes I am determined this year to make some headway to clearing some of my debt (and in the process the stress and weight should go down too!!)
What has prompted me to post tonight is that I have just had a bit of a shock.......having moved my divan bed I needed to change which drawer al of my toileteries were in so that it is easier to get to......I knew it was full but I have had a severe wake up call!!!!:eek:
As a matter of interest (and slightly because I am procrastinating over the other half of my essay that needs writing:rolleyes:) I took a tally of what I found..........I have shocked even myself........I have got
4 soaps
20 various hand/foot lotions/creams/sprays
4 Heat defences for hair
9 deoderants/roll-ons
4 anti-cellulite lotions (I really should be using this!!)
2 packs facial wipes
20 body washes/bubble baths/body scrubs
1 stretch mark smoother (again.....I really should be using this!!)
17 face masks
9 face scrubs/cleansers
18 body lotions
8 body sprays/spritzers
9 hair wax/hairspray/mousse
6 face creams
4 sun creams
2 spray tans
11 shampoo/conditioners
3 eye creams
:eek::eek::eek::eek:
Now whats even more scary is that was only in the one drawer, I haven't counted whats in the bathroom, or anywhere else in the house.......
In my defence some of them are small bottles from smellies sets etc, but I have got enough 'stuff' there to last an age!!!!
So my first challenge of 2010 is to use these items so that my drawer isn't bursting (and therefore save money in the process........but also ending up with a super sleek stretchmark and cellulite free body, the softest hands and feet in the world, the firmest face with the brightest eyes and shiny well conditioned hair as a bonus!!!!)
Ok, so I am determined to use just one tube at a time of each product my biggest problem is buying new stuff and then opening it, leaving a part-used bottle gathering dust.......no longer will I do this
Sorry about the long post......I just needed to get my problem out in the open......:rotfl:
