    I am starting to list my stash. I have taken photos along the way too. I thought I was getting on top of it but it appears that I'm just spreading it around :eek: :o.
    So, my present stash first:
    3x Sanctuary Creme soufle 475ml
    2x No7 GWP's, 2x No7 Cocooning body butter 180ml, 1x No7 round box gift set inc P&P serum (cost £23), 1x No7 powder puff.
    1x Chocolate Bubble bath (have a strawberry one that I've left out for DD's friends birthday).

    Binned/ donated:
    Ted Baker body shimmer (hated this!)
    Boots pack of eye shadow applicators
    About 100ml baby oil (don't like using it :()
    Pack of jumbo tampax
    Avon perfume oil
    Wink eau de toilet
    M&S rose edt
    Pinky nail varnish
    An eye shadow rollerball thing
    Virgin vie spot lotion
    Sanctuary toner spray

    Shampoo/ conditioner: THIS at least is under control :rotfl:

    about 40mls conditioner

    3x 100ml Nivea men sensitive post shave balm
    1/2 gillette fusion ater shave balm
    Nivea sun face and body
    Nivea men intensive moisture cream
    Nivea men sensitive moisturiser

    Moisturiser:
    Sanctuary 75ml (got to be used first, looking a bit dodgy!)
    2x aloe lotions 118ml
    L'occitane 75ml
    2 almost empty lotions.

    2 open talcum powders

    I've taken pics along the way and when DH gets home and tells me where he's put the camera lead, I will attempt to get the pics up here. Part of me is horrified by how much stuff there is and the other part is a bit pleased because it's much nicer stuff than I had stashed last year :o.
    It's now all put away again but this time I've put it all in the same place, in the drawer under DH's side of the bed. AND, it's only half full so I can go shopping again right :D? KIDDING :rotfl::rotfl:

    I've gone through my make up and thrown away 6 opened lip glosses of various dubious states, 1 tinted moisturiser that is ancient and again in a dubious state and have a pile of eye shadows to go through - all this is extra to the regular make up I use that I got together when I was doing this challenge last spring and so I think it needs to go for the space and that I just won't use them. Quite a few were free/gwp anyway.

    I'm slowly learning what my 'classic' make up kit it and I need to stop buying random lip glosses and eye shadows, not that I have for months now actually.

    Here goes with photos! Let's see if I can manage it?
    http://s921.photobucket.com/albums/ad59/kaz2904/ I hope that this is a linky to my photobubucket album. I have no clue how to get photos directly on here though, sorry!

    Bit embarrassed as you can see my ironing hanging over my chairs and my stuff for the loft in the shampoo shot and you can see all of my rubbish including DD's computer which is ready to go when DH finally sorts out DD's Itunes account (errrrr, never then?)

  • In: lovely box of Arran Aromatics shower gel, soap, body lotion etc - birthday present from my sister.

    Took an old mascara to Clinique at Debenham's wanting to change it for a freebie - but the rep was on holiday for a week and the girl from another counter couldn't do it. :mad:

    Genius, this made me laugh!!:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
    Less stuff, more life, love, laughter and cats!
    Even if I'm on the shopping threads, it doesn't mean I'm buying! Sometimes it's good to just look and then hit the CLOSE button!

    Well done for posting Kaz2904 - doesn't seem too bad considering how much I had when I first started tackling things a couple of years ago.

    I've just remembered I did have a Boots victory yesterday, I managed to get the tin S&G hand and foot set between Christmas and New year in a little boots whilst visiting family having been unsuccesful near where I live and not wanting to hit sales online as I had lots of boots points. When I got it home it had 2 foot genisus in and no hand food. I love hand food and athough I got one in tote set and one from SIL for Christmas who remembers I love S&G I was annoyed set wasn't right - called Boots and they've added 500 points to my card so I can buy a hand food from boots for me, so they'll be waiting for me when I get through the rest of the stash! Thanks Boots.

    No UU's to report just yet but am coming towards the end of a body spray and a sample moisturiser tube so hopefully soon! Nearly fell off the wagon yesterday looking for some hair removal cream (which I couldn't find anyway) but thankfully left with just the pads and cold/flu sachets that were on the list. Will be braving another shop tomorrow though so have to resist the tempting offers again!
