Hello everybody.....I need to join!! I got a big box of Soap and Glory stuff for Christmas which i love. It has 2 or 3 body scrubs in it but i already have 1 on the go so using that first. To save temptation i have put out only 1 of everything so it gets used up. I hate half used stuff everywhere!! Got lots of moisturisers so have kept one in the bathroom which is a spray for the days when i'm in a hurry and 1 upstairs for when i have more time. All the rest of the toiletries in a box ready for when needed. (hidden from DD1 so shes not tempted either!!) My ex MIL bought me a lovely Clarins set but unfortunately it doesn't suit me. Going to put the beauty balm on ebay and recycle the rest for gifts! My problem is i'm a consultant for VIE at home so its all so tempting! However i have everything i need and am not going to be tempted! Need to make money not spend it!

This is a great thread thankyou. xx

Now that's a lovely idea! I shall find a tin and start adding a quid every time I use something up.

EDIT - I think to help get this into the weekly email you have to click the button to say Like this thread (it#s on the left hand side towards the top). Shame there isnt a button for Absolutely Love this thread!

I'm not tired enough for bed yet so decided to come back and say hello again... this thread moves too fast atm (the way it did back in the beginning lol), maybe let's not get it into the weekly email or it'll be churning out 30 pages a day! :rotfl:

OMG! I can't believe you're going to get it! Glitch and a half woohoo!

(not that you needed them;))

I don't need them at all :rotfl:, but most will go into the gift cupboard, mum's getting one, I will keep a couple and maybe eBay the rest. How much would £700 of Molton Brown stuff sell for on eBay? :T :rotfl:

I won't believe it till they arrive though...

I had to throw a product out. It was a Clinique All About Lips product. Everytime I use it I get little spots around my lip. Not good. :mad:

Doing well so far - although you lot don't half recommend some stuff! The problem with that being that I *need* to go to Boots this weekend for some head and shoulders for the DH and some toothpaste. Eek. I will be strong.

Hope everyone is having a good week (why is it only Tuesday?!).

You could always get the H&S with your grocery shop, and the same with the tothpaste, to reduce the temptation?
