I need to go into Boots at the weekend - lady products are a requirement - I have almost none left! Also deodorant - I'm on my last can and although I have a Mitchum roll-on part used I want to save that for camping trips and weekends away as it's easier to pack and safer left in the tent than an aerosol can that might get hot. I'll probably see what deals there are but will most likely stock up on both so I can avoid going back in again too soon!🎉 MORTGAGE FREE (First time!) 30/09/2016 🎉 And now we go again…New mortgage taken 01/09/23 🏡

Hugs and thoughts Rosemary xx
Ive almost finished my body butters - they will be gone tomorrow i reckon. started a new (old!) shower gel to be bubble bath tonight, and also started a red and purple soap from lush from the humongous pile...
I know im not meant to confirm my startings, but I had to do it to tell you lot this - I found ANOTHER f**pping "cute cuddles" or whatever that hideous body lotion was that haunted me a few months ago.... WHICH ONE OF YOU put it in my stash????!!!!!!!Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup0 -
gosh isn't everyone chatty this month, i am still in with the challenge. have two uu to report the first.... drum roll please.... a body lotion at last one finally finished. It was Kiehls body lotion and one of the best products i have ever used, skin was so soft and the effect lasted a few days so the product lasted, which is just as well as it cost £23:eek: WIBA yes when i have used up the vat of remaining body lotion and the massive overdraft is paid off :rotfl:
another uu is a can of elnett hairspray WIBA yes this is an excellent product, but have another 2 brands in my stash before i can buy again.
loving all the stash confessions, am so envious of the bobbi brown collections. have one pallette in mine - mauve love it and use it everyday, lipsticks are wearing down to the base, so i may justify the new denim pallette for my birhday .....trying hard to be debt free by the end of 20100 -
Received a freebie in the post today: Simple Spotless Skin Quick Fix Cleansing Wipes, I think I've only got a couple of packs of face wipes left in my stash and so I don't feel too bad about this, although when they've gone I won't be rushing to buy replacements as I've got eyemakeup remover lotion and face washes to use.

Thinking of you and yours at this time Rosemary54.
Had a bath tonight. DD is slowly but surely working her way through the vera wang body scrub while I work on the S&G clean on me. I got the S&G bubble bath and put it on the side too as I'm not a fan of S&G or bubble baths so hope that someone will spot it whilst running a bath.
After I got out of the bath I was really good and used up some of the awful baby oil, I will get rid of it one day!Debt: 16/04/2007:TOTAL DEBT [strike]£92727.75[/strike] £49395.47:eek: :eek: :eek: £43332.28 repaid 100.77% of £43000 target.MFiT T2: Debt [STRIKE]£52856.59[/STRIKE] £6316.14 £46540.45 repaid 101.17% of £46000 target.2013 Target: completely clear my [STRIKE]£6316.14[/STRIKE] £0 mortgage debt. £6316.14 100% repaid.0 -
Can't believe the thread is so long in just two days! I am going to catch up when I have joined up again.
Please count me in again this month. I managed to stay below my target (£20) last month and I am hoping to do the same this month too.
The stash is going down slowly - not enough pampering going on! Still dark nights are coming on fast - no more sitting out in the garden with a wooly cardigan on!
I am more of a reader than a poster but following the threads keeps me motivated - so many interesting things to read - but my family are starting to complain about the length of time I spend on the computer now!!
So good luck everyone - keep posting please!Sealed Pot Challenge 2013 Member No 689 - £120/£300

Big hugs Rosemary - I'll keep my fingers crossed.
I'm in again this month, but no use ups (or purchases) yet.
I did paint my nails last night, using a very old bourjois polish that had gone almost solid before, so I put some nail polish remover in it a few weeks ago, which seemed to work. However, after putting it on last night, it took ages to dry, and i didn't realise, so i now have a rather messy thumbnail :mad:
I think it always took quite a while to dry, and I've kind of gone off the colour, so might try and use it up on my toenails - I'm off on hols in a couple of weeks, and it'll look great on them in the sun.
I havne't made a list of my stash yet, though I keep meaning to, and I've been doing this since January! I'll think about it again this weekend :rotfl:
P.S. Trudi - :eek: I remember that lotion, I can't believe you found another! Good luck...0 -
Big hugs Rosemary.
