raven-333

I'm in again this month. i done well last month i didnt buy anything from the body shop which is a surprise as they had a sale on. I have started working through my stash and a i only bought a couple of things i didnt have. I had a quick look through my stash and i really dont need to buy anything this month.

Hi all,

I'd love to join this thead, I followed it last month with interest and am pleased it's not just me that has a stash of stuff lurking in their bathroom cabinets!

My weakness is Bath & Body products and I can only buy them iin the States, so last month stocked up on a large range of body lotions, shower gel etc. :eek:

Also as my OH works abroad for 4 months at a time, we always buy enough toiletries to last me that time. However, I've got a habit of replacing something once I've used it up despite there still being 4 bottles of shampoo in the cupboard!!

I'll not post a list of items that I've got currently, as it would be MASSIVE!!! :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

I've got some naked shampoo and conditioner to use up, I liked it to start with but I find after a prolonged absence of not using it, the first wash/use leaves my hair greasy and as though I've got a massive dandruff problem!!! :eek::eek: I know it's meant to remove product build up but please!!!:rotfl::rotfl:

OMG Thats scary :eek::eek:. That list is more than enough to stock a warehouse, never mind a shop :rotfl::rotfl:

:wave: I know - Innit! :eek: Everyone says that to me - so eventually I thought perhaps, possibly, maybe they had a point... :D

wow Jacks what a list - i am so glad you posted that as I now know I am not the only one!

:wave: That's why I post it hon - that and to remind myself publically of how much stuff I've got. :eek:

My word, that's a big list! Had to snip or this page would be the ongest on the site... Scary stuff... Will be fun to use up though!

:wave: I know - isn't it just?! :D If I ever added it all up I think I'd cry for a week, but I am improving I think, working out my triggers and determined to go cold turkey this month.

I just love make up and want to try everything!!!

It could be worse huh? I'm not that tempted by bathroom smellies and bubbles. And I used to pay for manicures, pedicures, waxing, hair colour, eye brow shaping and tinting, lash tinting, facials etc, and now I do it all myself so at least I spend less money overall these days.

(Focusing on the positives here!) :j

:wave: Welcome newbies! :wave:

Please count me in again for July. Had a very successful June - no spending on toiletries for a whole month. I am going to stick with my £20 target again as I have had a few UUs which may need replacing.
I don't post very often but I catch up with the thread every day and have got some great ideas from this thread - mainly tempting me to try new stuff!!! I am keeping a list of things I want to try when I need a replacement of something!
Your stash lists continue to amaze me and all the UUs are brilliant - well done everyone!

Hi all

I'm not joining in - have way too much and prob 1/2 of it's gone off but am throwing myself on your mercy...

I posted this on the original Glamour Mag Grabbit thread and they suggets i post here - I have been hunting high and low for the Benefit highlighter that came free with Junes issue of Glamour to no avail - I was wondering if anyone had a 'spare' - altho I know such a thing is a misnomer - I have an extra concealer to swap if there's any takers? (it was all i could find)

Thanx in anticipation

Count me in again.

One UU to report:

Liz Earle Foot Repair Moisturiser. WIBA? Yes already have. I prefer this to the L'Occitane foot cream which I thought was a bit greasy. However the pump delivery system on the LE cream is a bit hit and miss. When I was struggling to get any more out of the tube I cut the top off to find that it wasn't nearly finished and there was almost a third left!

Hello i'm in again,

Feeling quite proud of myself today. Went through my stash and told my mum she could have a load of it for Xmas hampers ( my lil cousins) Its win win because I get rid of some impulse buys (nothing expensive just Avon footscrubs etc) and she gets to do Xmas cheaply.

Took my LO (hes 1 but walking) int Home Bargains today. He had just got his jags and I told him he could spend £10 because he'd been good. He picked 3 trains and a Thomas book then picked up a face mask and kept thrusting it towards me. So [STRIKE]I[/STRIKE]he bought it. It was a present, honest! Its chocolate too :rotfl:

Hi Peeps - please count me in again too.

It's slow going at the moment - but I'm sure I'll have a few more UU's soon to report.

Good luck everyone
