    I would like to join in this one.

    I have never tried this before but after reading through Sept posts I feel inspired to tackle the drawers of tolietries I have. Currently I have a few products that are at the splutterer stages so hopefully will be able to report back shortly on my UU's.

    i too would like to join for this month too, i found septembers task very easy as i seem to have amassed a small mountain of samples and freebies ! also have some lovely burts bees stuff that last for ages so think i will be ok
  • I'm in again. Just managed to finish a No7 tinted moisturiser that I have been using daily for about 2 years now. Yay! Unfortunately, I have another one in my stash to start on. It's an ok product, but I'd like to try something new now!
    Happy October, everyone!

    Mind if I pop in again this month? I've slipped a bit and need to decrease my stash of toiletries again. I've a few products which are on the noisy stage of tube-squeezing and could do with getting this stash down before Christmas. ;)

  • Count me in again too!

    I will have to buy deodrant and dental floss but anything else I succumb to will be due to temptation and not need!

    Count me in again. I am really commited to reducing the stash this month and reclaiming some much needed space.

    Good luck everyone with this months challenge hope you enjoy.

    Have used up-
    100ml bottle of paul smith women perfume-Nice smell but will not be buying again as I am sick of it.
    clinique take the day off-WBA when there is a bonus time offer on
    travel size batiste blush dry shampoo-WBA after I have used up fullsize batiste diva which I hate
    various no7 lipsticks-WBA when next no7 voucher offer is on
    Clarins beautyflash balm 30ml-WBA probably from debenhams as they have a spend £40 get a gwp offer promo at the moment.

    Have also painted nails while baby was having nap this morning in Barry M pink flamingo -I like it hubby hates it.

    Wasteful purchase of this week-sleek fushcia pink lippy and Barry M special effect black polish-Horrid lippy colour and the polish is useless.

    Welcome everyone, newbies, oldies (we should find a better word!) and returnees! Hope you are all well!x

    I'm in again this month, might have to buy some cotton buds (onto my last box now) and fake tan towards the end of the month but I think that will be it really...

    Sonee2405 I loooooove that shade, but at work (i'm the only girl) they call me barbie when I wear it! They also asked me if I got it out of a kiddies magazine...must be a feminine attraction to the colour :rotfl: congratulations with the birth of your child too :)

    Have a good day and a good month ahead everyone!x

    I'm in again - I think the only things I'll need to buy this month will be toothpaste, and maybe, possibly, shampoo - I'm actually almost at the end of my stash!!!!:eek::T

    I'm planning a bit of pampering this weekend, and have my eyes on a few things already open to use up, so hopefully I'll have a good start to the month.:A

    Thanks for the new thread!

    (And after looking at all my cleansers/showergels/soaps this week, I'll still be going next year too...)

    Well done on dealing with the shampoo stash Fixx! Welcome to all newbies and regulars too.

    My P&P Serum is at the spluttering stage - reckon another couple of applications will see it gone and I will then go on to the half bottle of Olay one given to me by Mum yesterday. As planned, I have swapped the Clinique moisturiser back into the cupboard in favour of one of the mini No 7 ones as well as this had already been opened and should not take that long to use.
