    I'm still in this month too!

    I will be only buying things I need (no dupes of what I already have!), so I won't limit myself to a £x spend for June.

    This month I will need to replace my day eye cream and conditioner (almost used up this hair mask stuff I have -- can't wait!). I will be using my eBay money from last month towards replacing those :)

    I have also been paid for a Lush mystery shop, so will have a one-off shop of special goodies this month (only one of which will be a dupe--solid perfume).

    I'm in for June as well peeps. I'm very pleased that I got through May only spending £7.60 as tbh I thought I would have caved:o But its addictive working through my stash now and I want to make a dent in my body butters this month as I've been a bit lazy about using them recently.

    And inspired by you all I painted my nails today (well my toenails anyway). I decided to use my gorgeous navy Chanel one that I never use because I always say I'll save it for best*rolls eyes* They look so pretty now:D

    I'm in again, got to keep plodding away at my stash, think I will be signing in for the next couple of years at the slow rate I am getting through things:eek:

    Can't believe I let it get so bad before I addressed it, my problem is I can resist a bargain or glitch - I now ask myself do I really need it when I see a bargain now and most of the time I seem to resist.

    So glad I saw the original thread in January:T can't remember who OP was but thanks

    Hi ladies, can I join in this month please - I made a start with the 'Use it or Lose it Challenge' back in Jan but looks like people have abandoned that one now. Back then I organized myself a box which has all my toiletries in it so I know where to find things as I need them, with having plans for this year which involve far too many weekends away I've been saving up sample sized bottles and any sample products I've acquired but think I've started to run low on some of the full sized stuff.

    I do know my conditioner is running low but should have one in my box - I think there's an Aussie one I started but found too much for my hair and made it greasy - I reckon that will be ok to use a couple of times a week, while the weather is good as my hair does take a beating with my assorted outdoors habits and chlorine from swimming

    Welcome newbies! I forgot to say earlier that I think I might need to get more toothpaste this month as ours is looking a bit slim now. Mind you, it was opened around easter time so it hasn't done badly.
    I was trying to explain to DH earlier that we would need to go shopping for moisturiser soon. He nodded until I said it was shopping from the stash. Most confused DH!

    Good Morning Everyone

    Please count me in for June. Target of £20 this month as £0 seems impossible to achieve! Don't think I will need much but WANTING is a different matter! Need to get back into pampering again - have let it slip since holidays. Must post more often to keep me motivated I think. I read the thread everyday so maybe I should post too.

    Good Luck for June everyone.

    Morning all!
    I'm in again too.
    The only things we really NEED this month are toothpaste and everyday showergel so I'm hoping to keep the spends to below £10 again (managed £6 something last month).
    I have also ebayed and sold 2 items - a Clinique eye cream (I have 2 already and don't really like it) and an anti cellulite treatment.

    morning ladies,a lovely new thread:):):)

    think I just like to chat these days but am trying to be good as well :rotfl:

    joined half price perfumes club last month but despite now having £10 credit have no tbeen tempted to buy anything.

    noticed my bust /nec k area looking rtather crepey after sunbathing and thought about buying the Dove stuff seen advertized recently but it had a very bad review on Boots so decided not to.

    now got Matt and Dave installing new worktop:)......they ? the way the old one was put in so hope no problems:eek:...let you know later
