Hi EssexH
Count me in again! September was very successful and objective achieved. Hopefully I can do the same this month:D
I have a few splutterers, hopefully this week I will manage to finish them off.
Good Luck everyone.:T0 -

I'm still in! I shall try to do another inventory this month (don't I say this every month?) to see how I've improved.
I think that it is far far better than when I started. In fact, I KNOW it's better because we haven't bought shampoo since August 2009. DH bought shaving foam yesterday evening but he needed it and went through every bag in the cupboard first to check that there wasn't already some there.
I'm in danger of being able to fit loo rolls in the cupboard by the end of the year!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 -

Hey - that's a good thought - maybe that should be my aim too - it would be so nice to have spare loo roll in the cupboard (next to the loo) rather than in the spare room (in the next ROOM to the loo - LOL!) for those "caught out without any" moments! :rotfl:🎉 MORTGAGE FREE (First time!) 30/09/2016 🎉 And now we go again…New mortgage taken 01/09/23 🏡

Could I join again please? I've just used up a Dove body butter I found half empty last month. WIBA; don't think so, a bit greasy.0

I am also in again this month - finished a can of Mithum deodrant so will now move on to the other 5 cans! I have also started to use all the sample sachets and tubes of creams, lotions and potions as I have quite a lot, I am going to count them at the weekend! I save them from magazines etc and think I will save them but I have had some for I reckon around 5 years! Probably dried out! LOL So far this week I have used up 3 sachets of L'Oreal Revitalift cream bit to greasy for my liking.
I am aiming for no ins this month unless they are freebies!0
