    Joined this challenge last January and did quite well for about 6 months, then fell off the wagon! So New Year, New start!
    Not a lot in this Christmas, but still have gift sets from 2/3 years ago!!
    The plan is to use up all of my open things on the bathroom shelves and then 'treating' myself to using a matching srt of bath products.
    Only things I'm likely to need in the next 3 months are conditioner and deodorant, but a real check of the stash may reveal more!

    Taking a hand cream into work next week, so there will only be 8 left to use up here at home... every little helps!

  • :wave: I have been reading this thread with interest the last few weeks (started out mainly cos I had that awful flu that is going around and needed something to read).

    I feel that I am in need of joining this thread as even my DH has commented at how little of the bedroom drawer top is his.

    I even went to Boots yesterday and thankfully they had nothing left so did not buy anything.

    I have very funny skin and am always in search of HG products and as such have a ton of stuff I either really need to throw out because they burn or use up.

    So if you'll have me, another one to join the wagon please. :o
    How long til pay day? :eek:

    Please put me down for this challenge as I need to be very disciplined. Too embarassed to list my stash :eek: but will put on what I have finished as from today.

    I get soooo tempted but must refrain. had a few smellie packs for Christmas so should be OK for a while.

    Good luck to all and a very Happy New 2011 :)

    I'm going to sort of join in on this challenge.

    I have a pile of mini toilettries that need using up. I collect them from hotels and get lots of freebies, but then never use them! I have sorted them into piles and am aiming to get through them over next few months. I have 15 mini shower gels :eek: :rotfl:. I do go away a lot but I want to use this up and then have some nice re-usable bottles to put my normal stuff into IYKWIM.

    I won't post an inverntory as I'm ok with the other stashes I have. All are things I use that have been bought on special offer and there isn't much lurking!

    Quick question, can I use shampoo as shower gel? I have 9 cheap hotel shampoos which my hair won't like me for using so want to use them other ways.

    Thanks

    pop it on a puff and lather up in the shower then...but seriously you don't do baths? I love them just for the 'me' time, plus I hate shaving my legs in the shower:rotfl:
