    Hi Claire,

    you have a wonderful attitude and a wonderful amount of stuff.
    Any chance of a photo of it all?:D

    Aww thank you:) I may post a piccy if I follow through on my plan to organise it all into clear storage boxes. I'll look for some at the weekend, it would be much easier to have it all together like that, rather than in random boxes/ cupboards/ shelves/ drawers...... (you get the picture:rotfl:)

    OH had a shower this evening and I made him use the end of the BS cocoa butter body wash, so thats another thing off my list now:j I really didn't like this and definitely wouldn't buy again. I found it didn't lather up very well, and the scent wasn't very strong. It was just a bit nondescript tbh, and for the price of it I really expected more. Annoyingly I still have another one left, but I may well transfer it over to my present stash;)

    Thanks for that, will have a look in Boots! Is it withthe make up?


    it's by the lashes/stick on nails in our branch - but our SA's have a very random stocking system so it could be elsewhere in yours!

    Trudij, what an idiot, you can do so much better! - at least you found out now rather than in the future when you are in a bit deeper?x

    - shampoos (not too many but I want to nip the stash builing in the bud, may use one of these unloved ones to wash make up brushes)

    Been lurking a while and thought I'd say this is brill - never thought of using up old shampoo in this productive way - thanks!

    This thread has definitely made me think twice about how much I have in my cupboards and how much I still think I need to buy... seriously silly business! Thank you for the inspiration guys, I think I'll give this one a go!

    Could I please join in too? :)

    p.s Trudij - hope you don't mind me agreeing with you - he sounds like a right wally! Weirdo indeed.

    morning all

    oh new month new thread :T welcome to the newbies that have joined the challenge.

    manged to use up the hideious body lotion tub ive been trawling through it had such a weird texture like blancmange didnt help that it was blackberry scented i felt ike id had a food fight after i used it but its gone now:T. got a sanctuary one out of the stash as a treat coz the last 3 ive just apart from the tester were cheap and nasty ones so skins stopped feeling so pampered.
    had a bit of a sort out in the bedroom cupboards and ive condensed my stuff down and given DH a whole shelf back:rotfl:. the areas of stash that seem to be moving fastest for me are bubblebaths and body lotions i know ive got throught lots of them and its really boosting my enthusasim for the challenge seeing space appear in areas that were cluttered with stash.

    forgot PYNM yesterday but will do that tonight (fingers and toes)

    have a great pampering day all.

    Me too. I've dropped lots of things, I've been on an eye make-up boycott (except mascara!) for about two weeks. Just couldn't face :rotfl:it! Not really sure how to get started again :o
