Same here!
I rootled through my stocks after using up some more things on holiday and brought down some more shampoo and conditioner, another exfoliator, another spray leave in conditioner.
Leaves one other spray leave in conditioner and now onto my last styling spray and finishing creme.
Getting there slowly but the best news is not buying anything else to stock up until is a space there and have nearly run out

Oh no! I unthinkingly ordered a diet coke at dinner the other night .... so I've broken my pact! Still going strong on crisps, chocs and mcdonalds, but missing the dc ... and am struggling not having it with my studies, so will probably remove it from my list soon!

This morning I finished a Bobbi Brown Face Base pot I have had for 2 1/2yrs.
Yes it was expensive, was quite nice, lasted a long time with fairly regular use.
Will I repeat purchase - no
One more expensive item I bust a gut to buy one time and now find I can live easily without!final unsecured debt to repay currently £8333Proud to be Dealing With my DebtDFW Nerd 1154 Long Haul 1550 -
On the verge on using up a Gatineau Neck Gel - not to be repurchased. Have at last realised it doesn't make on bit of difference after 4 yrs of using it
And a 1L Australian Bodycare Body Wash - love this stuff and a bit gutted now its warm its almost gone! Will get another one of these when I've used up the next shower gel as I will, takes a deep breath, nearly have run out, for the first time in 5 years!
Feels like the penny has dropped at long last and I'm not tempted anymore by the make up on QVC or the skincare claims
I'll always have my favourites but these have reduced to a few items from a couple of brands instead of the lot like it was before - feeling positive and pleased - about time too!final unsecured debt to repay currently £8333Proud to be Dealing With my DebtDFW Nerd 1154 Long Haul 1550 -
Well done FedUp!! I was never a huge buyer of toiletries but even I had a little stockpile I'm working my way through, and one of my friends bought SIX showergels the other day to go with the others she has. I was gobsmacked!!

Last 2 weeks had to buy some aloe gentle show cream and cocoa butter body scrub from Bodyshop. They had 30% off and got an extra £5 off due to their love your body card - 4th purchase. So saved over £12. Had to get some more Naked hair conditioner with jojoba oil from Boots. 2 for £6, saved nearly £2. So was really pleased with purchases and savings. These will definately be used and hopefully last me for a while. Still need to use some of the other tolietries.Frugal Living Challenge 2025 Mortgage free as of 1st August 20130

I'm hurtling through some things, soap, handcream, shower gel and moisturiser and cleanse and polish
My storage drawer is empying out nicely
I did order another Australian Bodycare Shower Gel in a 1L size which I love and never goes to waste and it had free P+P so I had to go for it then
Only thing I need now is some more footcream as I am about to run out and will stock up with some palmers shortlyfinal unsecured debt to repay currently £8333Proud to be Dealing With my DebtDFW Nerd 1154 Long Haul 1550 -
