Personally I'd buy because you've only got mini's in stash but it's up to you and how you feel about it. We all make our own rules

Thanks, I'll ponder a bit longer and may ask the OH as he is all for this quest to use everything up first. Or maybe not!

I admit, I've bought something. It was recommended on the OCm thread, manuka oil. It was £10 for a teeny bottle, but I volunteer to be the tester and report back here and OCM thread, to save you all money if it doesn't work.

I was talking to a friend today who said she has no interest in going into Boots or buying toiletries and that she only buys stuff when the stuff she is using has run out... I dream of being like that...

Boyf just told me that I had some packages from boots voluneteers arrive (I made him open them!) ...apparently I've got 4 x 25ml body washes, a concealer and a green eye shadow...that's to go along with the face wash they sent me yesterday!

More stuff to use before breaking into the stash :rotfl:

have been signed up with them for ages and keep answering questionares but no samples at all:mad:all we get is stuff for oH from survey sites(shaving gel this week....mind I got some crisps last week so not too bad!)

Nails is a good start. Put the radio on, a or a happy cd. Dance about a bit. Put your nicest shoes on to do this. Sing a long to the music. Make yourself smile....make sure where you are smells nice....no you have to feel bad to really understand the good feelings when its their turn.

Four days into February and I haven't bought anything else and my target spend for February is £0.

On the downside, I found another box with stuff in (cold cream, body lotion and goodness know what else) so that has to be used at some point, and then this morning I received a huge bottle of perfume from Givaudan (which I think might be Secret Obsession). I'll give this a go and if it doesn't suit me, I'll pass it on to my sis.

I also found another tube of Liz Earle foot repair cream a few days, and I take back my original opinion, I really like this. I suspect I just hadn't used this on a regular enough basis to see any results, but it's pretty good. WIBA? Yes, definitely.

I've also got some unopened stuff that can go on ebay, including a large bottle of J'Adore Dior.

Queen of No Matter What, I'm the same as you, much prefer body butter and creams to lotions. The lotions are too runny for me and I end up using too much and leaving my mark all over the house!

I love the smell of No 7 Blissful Bodywash, but it's just too sudsy for my and I felt it dried my skin out a bit as well.

I see some of you finishing 4 or 5 items everyday and I wonder how you all do it?! Unless you have other family members helping you out (or you're OCD with washing). Or maybe I am just trampy and don't wash often enough! :rotfl:

OCD...a little, but I am in and out of mud all day, usually I have a shower to get the mud off both AM and PM. I then use body butter/lotion twice a day too, and deodorant etc

I also have loads of half finished things that I'm just making my self use up rather than keep hanging around almost used up.

advance warning I am going to be bad next week:eek::eek::eek::eek:

it is clinique bonus time at Debs and I need(honestly )a new concealer pen so am going to buy that plus some skincare so I get the free goody bag which has amongst other things a mascara and I really like their mascara.

very sorry but in my defence I am going to pay with a gift card so no actual money will change hands:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
