    Hello everyone,

    Sorry that i've not been around much, just been very busy!

    A use up from a while ago:
    Soap and Glory iFoam - WIBA? I was thinking about this for a while when I was using it in the shower the other night and I think it's a yes because, although it doesn't foam as much as I thought it would it smells amazing and is very moisturising and when it's a 1/3 off at my local boots they take off an extra 1p so it works out at about £2.99 :)

    I'm almost at the end of my shampoo but because of the dogey packaging (A tube for a 350ml bottle) it was really hard to get the product out so, i washed out an empty soap dispenser and filled it up with the shampoo but for some reason when I squeezed it it it turned watery so it's now really watery! :mad:

    I also have my first spend, don't worry they were an essential!

    - Sure Women Natural Minerals Pure (a bit of a mouthful :p) I hadn't finished my current deodorant when i bought this but i didn't want to run out mid week and not be able to wear deodorant until the weekend, especially in this heat! But as the end of things always last for ages there is probally still a day or two left, this was £1.71

    - Sainsburys basics cotton wool 44p, Im not going to count this as a toiletry spend because, its more an accessory than a toiletry IYSWIM?

    Oh and I know there's now a July thread but thought that I would write this here as they were a June spend not a July spend.

    Thank you everyone for being so welcoming to the gang. Feel much better today now I have actually committed to using up this stuff before I buy any more! Have already UU 2 things today:
    Full confession now, started June with 1156 items! So would like to hit the 1000 mark by Christmas. Went to Boots to get more deodorant (have this under control as have 1 in use and 1 spare now) this morning and resisted the No 7 offer 3 for 2, plus the buy a No 7 mascara and get a make up brush set free - anyone else out there a sucker for the promos with the free make up bag?

    Love reading all your posts and can't wait for some free drawer and cupboard space.

    Hi KiplingMonkey. Love your name (you can guess why?) My current love is a black Rukam shoulder bag and the monkey is called Lesley.
    Only 1156 items?? :rotfl: Looks like we've got more in common than bags. Welcome to the group. I stopped counting my stash, but I can see the back of my cupboards now, so I guess that's progress.
