A conditioner, hand cream, little body cream sample and a shower gel used up over the weekend. Plus threw away a grotty body cream nicked from a hotel many years ago that I am clearly never going to use so am counting that too!

On holiday I used up a serum, body lotion, sm face cream and something else I can't quite remember
£4 into the pot then.
I used the £40 I saved up on holiday to go towards a new coat and only had to put £12.50 towards it. I was very pleased and am now restarting my £1 pot again
