Thanks for doing the new thread Kaz!
Quick one from the October thread:I have UU a toothpaste. Macleans I believe. I shall open one of the ones I bought last week. DH's Euthymol looks like it's about to give up the ghost too, it's wound right up. I think he has a spare already bought. If he does, that means we have 4 new toothpastes to get through before we open up the new aloe vera one but as it hasn't arrived yet, I shall worry about that when it comes
Welcome to all the newbies
Ahhh - another one who's hubby likes the revolting pink stuff for cleaning his teeth eh?! Horrible stuff - although I have finally cured him of getting it all over towels etc - it stains like nobody's business!
Couple of very small IN's - somehow I have ended up getting two samples of Olay serum - feels lovely though so I'm not complaining! I shall put these aside for taking on holiday with us next year - I have a little makeup bag of sachets, minis and similar which I'm adding stuff to as I get it.🎉 MORTGAGE FREE (First time!) 30/09/2016 🎉 And now we go again…New mortgage taken 01/09/23 🏡

I'm joining in this month, in the hope of thinning out my stash
I do keep throwing out ancient half used stuff, but my cupboard and drawers are still bulging.
Think I will do an inventory and hope to see it reducing :rotfl:Official DFW Nerd Club - Member no: 203.0 -
:hello:Hi everyone I'd like to join please, I certainly need to! I've been trying to use up my products for a while now, yet I've still been adding to them slowly and then last month I bought way too much!:eek:

:dance::T :beer: :j A shiny new month - Woohoooooo! :j:beer::T:dance:
Count me in - even though I will be spending almost immediately cos I'm out of some of my essentials like conditioner, hairdye and serum. (I'm also "borrowing" stuff like nail polish remover from my daughter on the grounds that she "borrowed" from me for ages but I'm taking the pee really.:D
I'm getting better though - I think.
The "not in use" part is definitely shrinking.Purple is for "incoming"

Welcome, my 1s month as well. I personally keep track with the Thanks button on the post I have read.Hope that helps
I do that too, but I think there's a "View first unread" button that you can click up at the top there.Not everything that can be counted counts, and not everything that counts can be counted. Einstein0 -

Hi R54 - when Boots first brought out the £5 coupon thing you could easily get these wipes for free. It's basically a clever marketing trick, you feel you have £5 to spend when really you're down so many quid. Things like putting the money towards brushes feels more worthwhile - if you can find the stock!
Does anyone think the Nails INc nail polish is good quality? Last time there was a mag freebie I was really disappointed. So any reviews? Before I buy a mag.
The MUA (Superdrug £1 range) lipstick is good, bit like a gloss, with nice colour. Impressed for a quid.Declutter 300 things in December challenge, 9/300. Clear the living room. Re-organize storage
