One UU to report:
Body Shop Black Velvet Apricot shower gel
wiba?Don't think so, i have another one to get through! Think it was a christmas 09 product, smells nice though0 -
I resisted ! I was planning to go to town to spend the £5 n7 voucher but after all I do not need anything, what is the point of joining this challenge if I just add to the stash and last time I spent it I ended up with another one. So it is decided I am staying at home with a good movie and the pc to build up my NSD count, offer will come again at a time I will trully need it.
Thank you - this thread really helped todayMFW on your mark0 -
UU BS neroli jasmin body spray- WIBA - no probably not as got a bit sickly. Got a BS cherry blossom next to use up.
Not really a UU but a giveaway, I have given my daughter a BS mascara as it made my eyes puff up! I dont know why I tried it as I have had allergies to mascara for years and always stick with No 7 as never have a problem.0 -
Hi everyone, i didn't take part much in Oct - hd a bereavement i the family and then flu - not a good month. Have been trying to keep up with the challenge, but was caught in a weak moment in boots at the estau lauder counter - ended up with foundation and moisturiser - which i did actuallly need - but was a bit more than i would normally pay...
on a positive note, my stash does not have any shampoo/conditioner/shower gel/bubble bath other than those in use and i think i am on the last of my body lotions.
My main areas of weakness are still nail products (had to throw a cuticle cream away as when i went to use some it smelt funny) and fake tan products.... and then there is the make up......
HAve any of you had any success selling stuff on ebay? i've started with some clothes but would like to get rid of some of the stuff i know i won't use.
Alfiecat that is a tough month! I'm really sorry for your loss.

Hi everyone, thought I would join this month as I have lots and lots of things to use up (mainly Lush and makeup to be honest!) I have no idea how much stuff I have but will endeavour to write an inventory at some point I think!
Anyway I have 2 UU's today:
Lush Marzibain BB: Would not buy again probably. Nothing spectacular, just gave me bubbles!
TBS Soft Hands Kind Heart hand cream: This could possibly be HG material! Left my hands feeling so soft with an unusual scent that's kind of appealing after a while!Emergency Fund - £8572.39 / £10,000 :: Mortgage OP 2025 - £LISA 24/25 - £3200 / £4000 :: NSD 2025 - 2 / 150 :: Books Read: 1 / 52 :: Decluttering - 4 / 1000Engaged 9th December 2010 :: Married 29th October 2015 :: Bought a House 13th January 20170 -
Hello all,
Two UUs to report - yay!
Charles Worthington UV protector shampoo mini. WIBA? Maybe, was nothing special but those minis are always good for holidays.
La Roche Posay anti-redness moisturiser sample. WIBA? This brand is lovely, but I get bored with the packaging - shamefully shallow! I probably would get it at some point though.
Currently sitting at the PC with my head in a plastic cap waiting for Elasticizer to do its thing.Have a lovely evening!

threw out an old hand cream that smelt a bit strange ... and a couple of incredibly old gloopy lip glosses ...
Shan't replace any of them - don't need to as there's plenty in reserve still....0 -
I'm still trying to cut back.
No 'ins' but no 'outs' either!
Have a couple of things splutterings so will hopefully have some UU by the end of the week.Life is a coin, you can spend it anyway you wish, but you can only spend it once.
Go as far as you can see, and when you get there you'll see further.
Take time but don't waste time0 -
No use ups. But some resists to report:
Did not buy the... Decleor set on QVC.
Did not buy an....Elemis set I saw.
Phew!Declutter 300 things in December challenge, 9/300. Clear the living room. Re-organize storage

one UU - pantene classic care conditioner, wiba? no, not that great, I'm working my way through all the bottles in the house before I buy any more (miss my beloved Tara Smith but " I must be good,I will not spend money" - I'm going to have to keep repeating this to myself and hope I can convince myself), xx0
