    One UU and one "I'd really better get rid if that" here - firstly uu'd a sachet of Sanctuary Rosemary face mask in the bath last night. WIBA? - yes, I can often get three of these for £1 on the Market, and will happily buy them in the future, leaves your skin feeling lovely! I nearly bought some more this morning actually but managed to resist!

    The "better throw that away" was a Clinique naturally glossy mascara - been on the go for over a year and still some in there, but I reckoned it was about time it got binned, I've pulled a Clinique GWP sized one from the drawer to use. Hope everyone is having a good, temptation free, thrifty weekend?!

    Please excuse my ignorance, but what size is a GWP sized one?

    Been reading this thread and alternately thinking "I'm not too bad after all" and then remembering another place where I have some toiletries stashed! I might join in next month if that's OK.

    Is it making you feel anxious and insecure having less than 60 in stock? :rotfl:

    I'm not sure how I'm feeling actually. Either I've lost a dozen shower gels since I last counted or I'm the cleanest person in my town :rotfl:

    I suppose I should be pleased that it's not as bad as I thought :j

    I've been tidying and sorting out the bottom of one of my wardrobes today. I found two forgotten items lurking there: Umberto Gianni Spa Rituals Brightening Plus Hair Elixir phials. I was disappointed to find these as I know I gave one box away and had forgotten that there was another box. It does nothing for my hair! Oh, well :(. I also found a box of 3 Champneys Body Butters. So I have updated the list of body lotions/bb that I posted at the beginning of September:

    350 ml DeadSea Source De-Stress Ginger Body Souffle (half left)
    300 ml Nivea Soft Intensive Moisturising Cream for face, body and hands (so will get multi uses, although I'll probably only use on body and hands)
    250 ml Ted Baker Bodywear Rich Body Souffle (two thirds left)
    200 ml Boots Mediterranean Olive Wheatgerm and Honey Body Butter
    200 ml Avon Sugar and Walnut Body Lotion
    [STRIKE]150 ml Boots Royal Jelly Body Souffle (one fifth left)[/STRIKE] UU
    150 ml Kylie Minogue Sexy Darling Body Lotion (three quarters left)
    75 ml Botanics Quenching Body Lotion (two thirds left)
    60 g Palmer's Cocoa Butter Formula with Vitamin E Concentrated Cream
    50 ml Olive All Over Body Cream
    [STRIKE]50 ml Boots Extracts Bergamot Body Butter[/STRIKE] UU
    50 ml BS Shea Body Butter
    50 ml BS Pink Grapefruit Body Butter (two thirds left)
    50 ml Dove Visible Effects Body Lotion
    50 ml Botanics Bodycare Nourishing Body Butter (two thirds left)
    30 ml Boots Royal Jelly with Extracts of Pure Honey Body Lotion
    7 ml Sachet of Vaseline Intensive Rescue Moisture Locking Cream for very dry skin
