Hi ladies. I have been involved in this challenge for some time and had used loads of my stash up. Now that Santa has refilled my stash I'll start again. I have bought some goodies on the sales:-

A double pack of L'Occitane Verbena liquid soaps for £20.00. Bargain, considering that one costs £16.00 and all the family use it. Don't know when I'll need to buy more as I have also a 400ml eco pouch, a Soap and Glroy hand wash and Philosophy Amazing Grace handwash in my stash.

A huge bottle of Ojon shampoo. This was a splurge where I'm concerned cos I only ever buy shampoo from the supermarket and usually don't pay more than £3.00 for it. This cost me £22.00 (on special offer, hah!). Is lovely stuff though and am hoping will last me ages. Am planning to buy some Soap and Glory shampoo on my next visit to Boots though cos I got a tube in the tote bag which my daughter loves so am planning on getting 3 for 2 in the hope that this keeps her going for ages too.

A set of Burts Bees lip balms - 3 in the set for half price. Always use lip balm and again hope these last ages.

A set of three Boots body butters at half price. Always using them and was down to my last 1.5tubs (not counting the Soap and Glory tote one!).

Have had a UU lately of an Elemis Lime and ginger hand and body lotion WIBA? Not as a separate item. Would use it if it came as part of a kit. At the moment am using Elemis Nourishing milk lotion which is much nicer.

Am at the very end of my tube of Elemis Oxygenating Night Cream. WIBA? Yes, but can't really justify it yet. May ask for some for my birthday in Feb. Do have a tub of Elizabeth Arden cream and some Elemis SOS cream I can use as night cream.

Blimey - why didnt I think of that when I did mine (eons ago!!) - I put half mine up then edited to add the rest !!!

I remember bath pearls - think I used to give up and burst them into the bath, then spend ages scrubbing the "shell" off the bath....

no UU for me yet - am going to try to get over to TK Maximus on Monday to get some shampoo, then hit that link that Tara gave me last week to buy in bulkish if I like it... (dont panic newbies - promise, Ive only got 1/3 of a pantene conditioner and shampoo left - Im not being uber naughty!!)

I know Ive been saying this for months - but I WILL try to get a new inventory up soon,if only to let me know what Ive still got to plough through !!

welcome newbies - and HAPPY NEW YEAR !!!!

Hi all and a Happy New Year _party_

blimey thats an awful lot...did you ever think of adding up the cost of it.
We really all have too much stuff dont we. My sister is almost 60 and she spends a fortune on makeup that she gives away to everyone else. I think she is daft! Kindly though.

good luck to all this month

Hi everyone,

Went to B**ts today for a meal deal. Always get the vitamin drink and the big Max crisps and the packs of 3 sarnies - get my money's worth! Anyway whilst there I had a £5 off voucher burning in my pocket. These are the forbidden fruit tempting you into the candy store to look at other wonderful things! Anyway, I went straight to the No7 brushes and had a nose but not many there. Went to another section where other beauty accessories are and picked up a pack of 3 muslin cloths for 50p (using the voucher) so phew no looking at other toiletry !!!!!!!:rotfl:

It's great to see so many newbies - welcome! Also some loving posts (hugs to Kaz) and BBTHREE saying how they enjoyed their xmas pressies so much more. :A

I have some old mascaras so will save those for Debenhams offer but I don't use Clinique so will give to friends (sadly makes my eyes sting).:mad:

I need to sort my make up bag(s). I have stuff in too many places. FYI I am hating using the MUA Bronzer (£1 Superdrug). Both shades look un-natural on me. Grrr! I will have to alternate with the other brands to use them up. It's my fault I bought them.

hello all, I hope you wouldn't mind if I join in... last year I posted my photo of my stash and it was horrific... I shall be doing the same again... and listing it all for my wallet - so I know not to buy it again.

I need to do a list of our freezer contents but this seemed like so much more fun... :rotfl:

now to turf the cat out of my cupboards to get right to the stuff at the back!

oh and two early UU's... a nivea for men shower gel which lost it's contents to the bottom of a drawer and a foundation which is 'alabaster' - I have olive skin!
