    Only use up: one miserable toothpaste. I don't hoard toothpaste because it's boring. :(

    I am currently glaring at the body lotion sat on the radiator that WILL get used up, even if it kills me.

    Horrid thing :(

    Hope everything is going swimmingly for everyone :) Sausage and mash and onion gravy for tea with a glass of red wine (i'm classy like that, see ;) ) sorts all of life's problems!

    Well I finally painted my toenails tonight - felt I needed something bright so went for Nails Inc St James a lovely vibrant red.

    Whilst I was at it I also PMON too again in Nails Inc Jermyn St which I am loving at the mo and was a GWP with a mag.

    Cut open the tubes of my Clarins Flash Beauty Balm and my Clinique City Block oil free moisturiser this morning. So in the next few days both of these will be gone.

    Also another splutterer to report (added to my list of splutterers) Johnstons shower and shave. That will be gone in the next day or two unlike my never ending Burts Bees foot cream.

    I seem to have a never ending supply of some from Buzz Agent and its horrible:-( Guess I should alternate between that and my fav to use it up a bit

    Bought the BS hemp hand protector. (Quid back from topcashback too) so £7 instead of £10 with 20% off code and free delivery :T

    Chucked an empty tube of Flexitol foot balm. WIBA? Definitely. Use it on my sore winter hands too, it's the only thing that takes the sting out of those nasty cracks I'm prone to when I don't use the afore-mentioned hemp hand protector regularly!!

    The Fates are keeping me on the straight and narrow. My 'handiest' Home Bargains is in the town where I work, so I nip in there before I start teaching. Today my bus was really late so there was only time to grab my learners their coffee break biscuits. I've no idea what they had in - it all passed in a blur!

    Then I was worried about missing my bus home after my post work Aldi shop, so ignored their shelves too - mind you Aldi have a limited range and I have nearly all of it that suits me already. :0)
    My Olay Total Effects moisturiser with light self - tanner is spluttering. Mind you, naughty Olay have made this a 40 ml tube as against the 50 ml of everything else. Price is the same, of course.
    The Perfect 10 hair colour looks very good. Nobody has noticed, which is actually what I wanted, I didn't want any more dramatic colour moves.

    Elizabeth Arden is giving a free sample of a recommended product if you have the "Skinscanner diagnosis" in participating shops. Not encouraging, a freebie is a freebie! :P

    I got this at Debenhmas today, it's the expensive prevage eye cream so I'm well happy with that:T Also got the clinique mascara exchange. Both free but I need to count them because I'm working on clutter as well as toiletries and money.

    What do you call a funny colour? I have a sample size of this that I either inherited when I lived on my own or was living with my mum so has to be at least six years old.
