    Don't have any LE stuff opened, but do you think I should use it before anything else?
    Yes I would. LE stuff has less preservatives and stuff in it - than other brands. PLus it's the pink candle philosophy in action - use the lovely stuff now. Maybe gift some of the other bits :)

    I'll pull out the older stuff then and start using that next.

    lynseydee - Impressive stash, especially the bubble baths - I love them!

    Happy Birthday Trudij! 21 again- it must just be all those lovely products keeping you young! :beer:
    Hope it's a good one :D
    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!

    Yeah, not bad considering I mostly shower. Good job hubby likes bubbles in his baths.

  • Crumbs. That is some stash Lynseydee. You may find you need to buy something in 2020, apart from that you should be ok for the next couple of decades.... :D

    Lynsey - I'm in shock reading that list! :eek::eek:


    Mmmmm.............I've been a bit naughty!! :o

    Remember me asking about roll ons as my son complained about me gassing the bathroom? Well I bought the unscented Mitchum spray - and there's been no complaints since!!! :D At £1.80 its not a bad price either. Looked at the roll ons but tbh I get dressed too quickly most mornings for it to dry.

    And I was very naughty with the Avon.........ordered set of four Skin so soft prodiucts: body lotion, dry oil spray, body wash and handcream for £5.00. I know I've still got plenty to use, but.....I'm a sucker for a bargain!! :p

    ooooh and........

    I also received today 3 tubes of Avon SOS hancream that I bought off ebay because I think its been discontinued. I love this stuff so cant understand why they've stopped selling it! :mad:
