I thought I would be able to report some use ups tonight but no joy. Lots of things are at splutter stage though. Watch this space!

I know the feeling, my moisturiser is still adamant it's going to keep going :eek:

Am determined to use another bath bomb (read bath whimper) tonight - 3 to go then that's it!

Nails need doing too - broke 2 today at work and look like a right minger!
It's shopping day tomorrow and I don't need any toiletries at all but may use the No 7 voucher on a new bronzer/blusher.

I also have a £10 Boots voucher on the way from a survey site but I think I'll spend it on everyday toiletries rather than a new cream or something expensive (have plenty of those) - would be better use to buy on offer shower gel and shampoo than yet another face thingy. What do you think?

do you need any of those items at the moment or near future?If not maybe you could save the voucher and treat youself on a down day?(mmm seem to have more of them than vouchers at the mo:rotfl:)

I used to save amazon survey vouchers and when my sons at uni wanted xmas pressies I always had some in store so could be generous.

OH late yet again so dinner on the verge of spoiling and night out looks like not happenning but hey had a kir in the garden so feeling a bit light headed!!!:):)

Today I finished a Prescriptives Comfort Day Cream. I REALLY like this (and the corresponding night cream) but alas Prescriptives is no more!!!

Today I have finished up an olay face wash. WIBA?: Don't need to yet as have 4 similar olay ones in stock! I have finished up an alberto balsam tea tree conditioner WIBA?: Have one of these in stock to use then need to have a rummage and see what others I have in stock. I think I have soap and glory? I know I have a sachet. Then I'll have to get some more.
DH has used up his Lynx shower gel WHBA?: Doesn't need to, have more in stock!
It's going to be a while before I mange any more use ups though as everything is new again now! Apart from my Ted Baker shower gel which is never ending! One splodge does the whole of me per bath.

Hmm, having a think about my toiletries situation for this month (I got paid two days ago so in my head it's already May) and I think I will have to buy some new face moisturiser this week and I may get away with not buying any more heat barrier for my hair, but if I do it will be by literally squeezing the last out of the bottle. I wonder if I can get away with it?

Hi everyone

I haven't had time to post on this thread for ages but I've been having a read through when I can. I'd hoped to have some things finished by now but it's just one. Last night I finished my S&G daily smooth, it was worth scraping the tube into a small pot after all :rotfl:I ended up getting another 5-6 uses from it... gutted if I'd binned that much

Apart from toothpaste that I'll buy tomorrow I'm confident I'll get through this month without buying anything... that'll be a first for me if I make it that far :cool: And now I'm back to using Simple moisoriser my skin is slowly calming down too. Thats one thing I won't mess with from now on.

I hoe everyone has a great weekend.

I did that with the suppliments I bought my horse, more out of interest than anything else !!!

I used up a whole mini dove bodywash with oil this morning - I poured some on the sponge, and it smelt so disgusting I couldnt bear the thought of having to use it again, so I used the lot !!! It was a freebee through the post... WIBA ?? Heck no !!!

oh - someone was asking about the fab pore face mask - I use it - prefer it to the Scrub your nose in it, for some reason my face feels really burny when I use SYNII as a mask, so I dont use it for that very often. TFP is much kinder to leave on for a while. Wont be buying either again next though - plan to buy the Benefit scrub, I had a sample given to me when I bought the cleanser and moisturiser, and I love it !!!

(also, another off topic report - he rang me tonight, swears blind hes not been avoiding me.... hmmm, we shall see !!!!)

Was this the one in the sort of purpley coloured bottle? If so I am totally with you - it smells rank doesn't it!

I too have things on their last knockings now - an Avon Thermafirm moisturiser and a liquid handsoap and one or two other bits. Might go and do a face mask in a bit - needless to say it will still be the everlasting Strawberry & Yogurt Avon one. *rolls eyes* Still impressed with the eye cream. Trying to think what else......I'm easing back into using foot cream again after having had a strange reaction to something I was using a while back. I'll use the overnight foot repair one for a week or so before I introduce anything else though just to be cautious.

I will need shampoo and shower gel etc after the next bottles are gone (just about to move on to the last ones in stock) so will probably save it for then and at least save on the grocery money.

Good for you with your Kir in the garden - sounds like a good move to me! Enjoy it!

:T yay, the two moisturisers (which I feel like I've been using forever) are now finally used up and in the bin.

:mad: now on to the next batch. Can't believe how long its taking me to get through them
