I've just gone through and rejigged my list and in a year my toiletries have gone from 522 to 497 with 154 of those items being new in 2010, although 100 of those items are tea lights.

Might take me a little longer to use stuff up this year as my husband told me on Saturday that he doesn't want to be with me anymore. Some of the items above are his which I need to take off my list but will do that when I get round to sorting his stuff out.

are you supposed to use the serums before, after or instead of moisturiser:question:

Not a silly question at all:)

Serum on clean skin before moisturiser, scrub on wet skin, I use it after shower gel, but I'm not sure it matters too much as long as u have a good rinse afterwards (those bits get everywhere:eek:)

Lynsdeydee, bath pearls are supposed to dissolve their contents into the waterl, however I used to find it better to run the hot water first to help them dissolve better. I do seem to recall the casings on some dissolving, on others hanging around the bath afterwards! Haven't seen or used them for years. I used to feel they were a rather sophisticated gift to receive many years ago.....but then I remember bath cubes as well :eek:

Bronnie, thanks for that info. I tend to run the hot water first when having a bath so that won't be a problem. I do like bubbles in my bath but feel that I would have to use a few, if not all, to get anything worth writing home about :eek:

I think a serum is used after cleansing and toning (as it is oil based) and before a moisturiser

One UU of Boots GoodWorks hand lotion 200ml which incidently I opened last January! At this rate I'm not going to get through my stash very quickly. Oh, WIBA - yes - very nice to use and good price aswell, aroma was very natural - I think the packaging doesn't do it justice though.

Hi all

I'm having a 'money saving' day today - not been out, so not spent anything either!!! Back to work tomorrow boo hoo.....

I've balance transferred my credit cards, so can concentrate on getting those paid off..... and I started the £1 a day challenge, but, when I went to put my money in the new jar that i've found out for this purpose, I had £5 instead of £3..... Mentioned this just now and OH says he thought I meant hes to put a £1 a day in and he still owes for today :rotfl:

It was me who asked about the sealed pot challenge, thank you I already put copper in a jar each evening, so i'll just continue to do this.....

I've also decided to have a £1 per uu too, just not used anything up yet :cool:
