This thread is now having the wrong effect on me....my stash is full of basic bits and bobs - hardly anything lovely, desirable or expensive. Reading about all the great things people have to say about Lush is making me want to go in there and "Soap & Glory"? - never tried it but you're all raving about it....seriously thinking now about adding some bits of loveliness to my stash instead of just using up all the low end basics that are in there....
Now ladies, should I be good and stick to my challenge, or are these products just too good to miss?

I'm a bit the same as well - I've got some nice things, but mostly basics. I don't have a huge stash, but I wasn't using what I had. Now on a daily basis I'm body moisturising, and 2 or 3 times a week I'm scrubbing, buffing, foot creaming, cuticle oiling and all sorts. I do feel better and am using up half used bits of this and that, along with various samples. When I buy things now I'm considering more what I get, so I'm probably spending a bit more as I'm choosing nicer products but I'm only buying what I need (mainly). I'm hoping it won't be too long before I've used up all my oldish, mostly basic stuff, so I can spoil myself with some nicer products, cos I'm worth it :rotfl::rotfl:

Woohoo - another UU!

I've finally UU a Tigi Moisture Maniac shampoo as recommended by my hairdresser and very MSE I was too by getting every last drop out of the bottle WNBA - too many other shampoos in stash and I didn't think this was out special.

I've got a BS VitE body lotion at the spluttering stage too so as I'm applying it every night to my arms and legs before bed, I'm hoping it'll be gone by the end of the week then it's on to a Ted Baker souffl! thats already open:o

Nipped into my local Boot's today to find that the 75% sale hasn't started and as there wasn't much left on the selves, I left without even having a rummage:A:A:A

I've got lots to catch up on...so many pages already.

From what I have read and remember I'd like to send hugs to Lynseydee and Rosemary, I hope things improve for both of you really soon.
Catslovelycats hoping you feel better and make a speedy recovery.
Tara you're queen of glitches, well done.
BatOutofHell Soap and Glory products are lovely but they will still be available when your stash has gone down and you actually need them, so for now resist.

Todays UU's -

2 hippy chick ballastic, wiba, yes well only if they are released by Lush this easter. I love the scent and they are one of my all time fave ballistics. That being said I had to use both tonight as in the move they had both been crushed

Blueberry alberto shampoo, wiba, yes these are my HG, and lots of fruity secnts to choose from. However I have some others kinds of shampoo in my stash to use first.

Karma bubble bar, wiba, no. Loved the scent instore, hated it at home. It also turned the bath a horrid shade and it left the water very soapy, not like other bubble bars

I am also trying to decide if I should give my foam burst cans away (5). I recieved most of them Christmas 09 and although I love them I detest the floral smells and they last forever. I am frugal with all my toiletries and these are supposed to last 40 washes, well mine feel like they last much longer. I feel that if I keep them they will only go to waste, is this cheating though

Tonight I am planning on making...well a plan.

What items i am going to try and finish off first, etc.

Will post it when it's finished

ha ha - you make me laugh - glad it wasn't just me that was getting 'stash-envy'!! Littlepinkstars - be strong like da bull ! Catslovelycats - you are just as potentially naughty :rotfl:

Tara - I can only aspire to your level of moneysaving - I read your post about how you managed to save so much (as in your sig) you are a role model !

This thread is moving so fast I cannot keep up with it all, just snapshots as and when I can. But the gist of the support is still there - so thanks all.
Still no UUs for me but absolutely no INs - even after slavering over my very first copy of the Lush times :T

littlepink's plan for the rest of january!!

Going to try and use up most of all of the half/nearly empty items in my stash, so i can get onto using some of the newer items i am dying to try!
Treseme shampoo (almost at the end)
Treseme conditioner (almost at the end)
L'oreal re nourish face wipes
My Face wipes (i really do not like these though )
Lush Oatifix face mask (brand new)
The Body Shop Carrot Moisturiser (starting to splutter)
Soap and Glory iFoam shower gel (about half full)
The Body Shop Fuzzy Peach shower gel (about half full)
Soap and Glory the daily smooth body butter (about 1/3 left in it)
Soap and Glory Hand Food (think about 2/3 full)

Also need to try and use some of the older items in my Lush stash such as:
Amandopondo bubble bar (09)
Magic Mushroom bubble bar (09)
Avobath ballistic (10)
Waving not drowning ballistic (10)
Fizzbanger ballistic (10)
Lush Each Peach massage bar
Lush Flying Fox shower gel 100g (need to check the date on this one actually!)

Also have a bad habit of getting near the end of a bottle of perfume, and switching to a full one! So i am going to try and get rid of most of the empty ones:
Lacoste touch of pink
The Body Shop Japanese Cherry Blossom
Soap and Glory

If i can make a dent in this lot by the end of the month i will be a happy girl! So if anyone has any tips on getting through this lot quicker, please let me know!
