No Buying Toiletries in May Challenge!!
Comments

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!!Sealed Pot Challenge 2013 Member No 689 - £120/£300

forgive me ladies, I may have sinned
. 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.

Hello everyone,
Just came over here to say hello to everyone :hello::hello::hello:
The weather is hot! In England! I'm very much amazed, apparently this weekend the weather was hotter than Hawaii :eek:
No use ups unfortunately but i haven't spent anything this monthI'm hoping that 'cause it's a small text in a light font, nobody will be able to read this.
Don't worry if you can't read Kaz's post you can always highlight it
Ohh and the forum update looks very niceNo buying toiletries challenge - Started 10th May 20100 -
went to boots and bought some scholl hard skin cream and got the £5 voucher so bought some time delay gradual tan for only 99p...used before,quite sticky so use on an at home day and does not turn face orange!
also bought boots own hair colour at £2.99(not tried before) in very light brown so will see how that looks0 -
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? xSaving all my pennies0 -
umm...I came home from work to find the postie had delivered me a Rimmel lipstick that I'd won in their giveaway...I don't have this shade though, I best get practising my pouting for the weekend :kisses: - well, it has to get used up doesn't it!0

We can still read it Kaz !!!!
No use ups from me,though Im away at a three day event from tomorrow,so hopefully will get shot of some things there....
and i won TWO lippies today - YAY !!!!!Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup0 -

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. xBack 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!
