    One UU for me, a Garnier green topped deoderant - WIBA? - possibly, as it didn't set my asthma off and I might have another one left.

    I do it all because I'm scared.

  • one uu and one 'out' for me today

    uu primark 9 1/2 winks mascara - absolutely love this, makes your lashes really long and only cost a couple of quid, have a mountain of mascaras to get through before i buy anymore but would definitely consider buying this one again

    out - clinique mascara in plum - no idea why I even have this as clinique mascara makes my eyes stream (not a good look!)

    A couple of years ago I did the no buying cosmetics for 100 days as part of the first 100 days challenge. During this I made a spreadsheet of all my stashes and was appalled at what I had and used things up systematically and almost cracked it, a couple of months with this challenge last year and I'd lost interest in bagging 'bargains' in boots, which had been my downfall. I sold extra bits through work and put the money on a boots gift card and then used it to buy things I needed and it all worked well.

    But then I stopped using what I had, having baths less often etc and so now things seem to be stockpiling a bit again especially as I got some S&G bits and Molton Brown for Christmas and so I have a stash building up again, even if it's mainly 'nice' things.

    So this weekend I will make a list of what I have and actually start using it again and continue the not buying new too!

    No use ups here (also not been on for a day, internet issues and boy you lot are chatty!), a quick question though does anyone use John Frieda Precision Foam Colour as I have a £2 off voucher (for some bizarre reason I joined the John Frieda club and rarely use the stuff!) - basically I was wondering if someone wanted the voucher (valid until January 31st in Boots, Superdrug, Tesco and Sainsburys) if so PM me and I will send it out :D

    I can only wax lyrical about this hair dye, less messy, great colour and fantastic conditioner IN A TUBE that lasts about 5 goes minimum.

    I have a voucher for a free one if anyone wants it - I am going blonde for the summer from my current dark reddy/brown (cheryl cole colour) so PM me and i'll send it on?x

    Thanks Tara:blushing:



    It's a gaultier shower gel listed at 1 cent on the Debenhams Ireland site, we ordered 2 each, will pm the link to you. Not as good as the Molton Brown but I'll be :T if it arrives.

    thanks for it, I had it all done but it would only recognise a billing address in Ireland so it has thwarted me! Shame I don't still have my laser card registered at my Gran's (from a savings account she set me up incase anyone is thinking I had dodged the system!) No more toiletries for me darn it!

    After reading this thread, I thought I would check my stash, I am amazed at the amount of stuff I have so I had better join you.
    I have made a list of what I can use, chucked some out and got some unused stuff for ebay
    Will put a £1 away for each item used when it is replaced with my stash and also put away any profit from ebay sales .
    Might not post often but will keep reading thread , and update on progress.
    I must admit I do feel good having just sorted out and listed


    :j:beer::T Welcome to the gang my lovely!:T:beer::j

    Lovely pics EssexHebridean! :T
