I bought a pack of those collapsable crates from Staples, I think I got about 8 in the pack and everything is stored in 6 of them (hubby nicked the other 2 :mad:). I do have a few items that still need to be fitted in there at some point but that's another day's work :rotfl: I keep the crates stacked in the wardrobe in the spare room so they're hidden away. I had about 90 odd at my peak!!

I can't believe I actually admitted to a work colleague today how many shower gels I've got either :eek:

lol, my list is endless but i have to bow down to you and your boxes, mine is in a 80lt tub on top of the wardrobe and two boxes in the storage cupboard.

I donated 2 Lynx deos and 3 tubes of toothpaste to my Dad - buying 6 tubes of Arm and Hammer for £4 when it was offer was great, until I developed a mouth burning intolerance to mint!!!

On another note - the Nick Lowe moisturiser I bought, it's called Oil control anti blemish day cream - FAB!! My spots that have been bothering me for months, are now just slight red marks, and it keeps my skin matte all day

I went to Boots today and had a mooch around but couldn't find anything as all of the super reduced items had been sold. I bought my 3 blissful body washes and used my voucher. Unfortunately, as I used a voucher, I wasn't allowed to pay with points. Grrrrr! Now (im)patiently waiting for DH to finish plastering so that I can have a bath. Hair looks like an oil slick today as I've somehow got baby oil in it :eek: .
So £12 spent and 4 items in as I got a freebie sample of the new P&P with sunscreen. Meant to ask if it could just replace the serum or not.

A UU for me tonight of Tesco Vitamin E wipes. Not sure whether I've got one or two packs of these left. I'm trying to use face wash and eyemakeup remover more so that I can delay having to buy more wipes.

one was a new one from the list a hair colourant my roots where showing through badly and i decided to colour it to my natural colour instead of my brighter red i normally colour it (only a shade braver lol) i got some from wilkinsons called simply colour and it was only 97p for a permenent colour..tried it and it works as good as any £6 dye no drips good coverage etc, only they dont include the after wash conditioner but i had some intensive conditioner, hair was nice and shiney and soft too so yes i whould definatly buy again,,although they only do 4 shades!

Evening all

Welcome to all newbies. I am so glad that I joined this challenge, there is so much more space in the bathroom cabinett now and I have got £50 in a spare tin where I have put £1 for every item I have used up. With that money I shall be treating myself to a beauty treatment in the next few weeks

Good luck with the challenge everyone.

what a fab idea!

2nd UU to report-Kerastase Bain Resistance Shampoo WIBA? Yes if I got rich but would prob have to ask for a gift. Lovely shampoo though. made my hair lovely and soft but cleaned it as well.

I've kind of broken my challenge though. I said I'd only buy conditioner and cotton pads this month and I bought some Baptiste dry shampoo yesterday as it's on offer in SDrug for 99p. Howecer I have decided that I can make do without conditioner this month to replace it!!

Finally a UU for me!

Simple Repair anti-wrinkle eye cream. WIBA? No - I got it free anyway with a magazine subscription, and it just didn't do anything. Wasn't even particularly moisturising. I was good and cut it open and used every last bit though.

Will now move on to the final eye cream in my stash, a Nivea one. After that I'll be looking for recommendations!
