    Hi Everyone.
    I am making great progress with whittling down my stash. Don't list every item used as I don't have the time but my 23 shower gels is now 9 and my conditioners(8) is now 4! I have also used up various part pots and tubes of moisturisers over the last few weeks too. So I am so glad I joined this challenge because it is giving me much needed space in my cupboards!
    Not spent any more on toiletries yet this month and theres not long to go!
    Keep up the good work ebryone - you are all inspirational!!

    forgive me ladies, I may have sinned :o. I spent lots in Boots on Friday. £14.99 x 2 on electric toothbrushes for the kids. and £1.99 x 2 on 3 bottles of mouthwash (it was 3 for 2 and we needed it!). I also had to get shave gel for DH. I'm gutted though because I've put it in the bathroom cabinet and it's now full. It's really difficult to actually get anything in or out of the cupboard now and it was looking so lovely and empty :(.

    I'm hoping that 'cause it's a small text in a light font, nobody will be able to read this :D.

    No use ups, but am binning an old nail varnish because it looks really unuseable, sorry for admitting defeat! Have PYNM in No 7 Very Petal today.

    Hello ladies!

    I haven't commented on the thread for aaaaaaaages (new job!) but have been reading and am really impressed (and jealous) of all the use ups!

    My stash has grown since my new job - a combination of leaving gifts, buying presents for myself to cheer me up after a stressful day and competitions! I won an eyeliner in the glamour competition! :) Which is probably the only thing that I have acquired that I actually needed!

    Am I forgiven???? Can rejoin the challenge and I promise to try harder? x

    Are you walking barefoot? I always find the sand smooths any rough bits for me....its most abrasive when wet, so maybe paddle up the beach then if you can moisturise on the beach or as soon as you get home to seal the smoothness rather than expose the sand scrubbed feet to rubbing footwear?


    Many thanks for this - my feet are terrible - always dry out and peel/crack in summer :(. Can not do much re the beach as walk there, so have to walk the 10mins back again, and his lordship (the dog) HAS to run to the sea:rotfl: !! usually slap on cream and put some socks on

    Me too. I got "Kiss Me" which is very bright. Will be good to use with my tan though.

    No other use ups as yet this week though. x
    Back for the No Buying Toiletries challenge. I pledge to only buy when I run out of a product that is not already in my stash no matter what wonderful emails land in in my Inbox or threads I read on MSE re: glitches!
