Anyway, know it's only day 2 of Feb, but I have been very good. Been to Boots, Crabtree & Body shop at lunchtime. Free squirt of Glee perfume, bit of strawberry body butter on my hands and back at the office smelling lovely. And NIL spend! :T

I have a friend who walks through boots every morning and 'tests' the No7 P&P Serum For Men :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Yesterday I decided to count the amount of stuff I have in my house and it came to 894 items.

This consists of shampoo, conditioner, hiar repair products, shower gel, soap, liquid soap, bubble bath, hand cream, face creams, face washes, deodorants, tooth paste, mouthwash, hair removal items. But I have not included any make up, lush stuff or perfume.

Blimey! :eek::eek::D:D

I hope you've managed to follow us to the new thread - welcome aboard :wave:

Hello :hello:


One IN today - a free 7ml sample of Olay 3 Point Super Serum - which is perfect timing as it will stop me replacing my P&P :T

Had to go to the supermarket today for a few bit and bobs so was an :A and went to Sainsbury as ours is laid out in such a way you can completely bypass the toiletries section :T Thanks Mr S

Did get a copy of Delia's Frugal Food for £3 - my poor OH :rotfl:

Hairwash tonight and have to redo my legs because of all the bits I missed Will use a razor tonight though

:cool:

afternoon/evening all.

Well I did go to boots last night to but the S&G exfoliator AND - thast all!! Am so pleased with myself for resisting the 3 for 2! Also I used the scrub last night and loved it!

3UU between last night and this morning.
Botanics body butter - wiba? yes loved it and lasted so well.
uu: keratine(SP) chest and back spray - wiba? nope, was trying it as a replacement to the discontinued clinique chest and back spray but it was nowhere near as good!
UU sample of olay 3point serum - wiba? yes, if it was on a good offer - i actually quiet liked it!

I also sorted the stash again last night and put aside 1 each of travel sized shampoo, condition etc. I have a few weekends away coming up so I have set them aside to reduce amount I take and help sort out the stash (oh and show me that no I do not need to go to boots nad buy some more travel sized things for going away!)

Well used up the L'oreal De-Maq milk to toner cleanser WIBA: Yes as long as it's in the clearance :rotfl: Rarely pay full price for any toiletries! Nearly finished a bottle of Kelly Brook perfume WIBA: It was cheap but probably not. Still not bought anything since I joined the Jan thread

Hello everyone!

I've been a bit of a lurker for ages and finally have the courage to join in. I warn you my stash is huge, I've just spent the last 2 hours going through everything, so shall post up my list later on:)

Tara, it was this one http://www.boots.com/en/Botanics-Moisturising-Body-Balm-200ml_24427/ and I notice it's on 3 for 2. I'm just wondering whether to return one of these http://www.boots.com/en/No7-Cocooning-Body-Butter-180ml_1015712/ to swap for some. I could get 6 for that price! I do need to go upstairs and have a look see what lotions and potions I have in stock. Last year I made the mistake of struggling through a few sun lotions which were gak. We then had a summer so had to go out and buy more. Plus we kept forgetting to take it with us so had to replace a couple when we were out and the weather turned scorching. Nuts!
The hand lotion I was using last night is at splutter stage so won't be long. I need to dig out the next item ready. I do have some sanctuary butters in the gift stash which I really want to use. We shall see!

Ah, also got a moan about my blissful body wash. It's stopped being so foamy. If it doesn't improve soon, I'll be returning the other 5 bottles . The reason it was such good value for money is that I only needed a tiny drop to do my whole body. Yesterday I had a big blob and it only bubbled for one arm.
Some lovely stash lists on here, I think we need some more photos of them!

OOh - Photos Yes Please!

I can just see OH's face if I empty all my drawers (which are incredible well organised now!) on to the bed - take a photo - and put it all away again - and then share the photo online - and try to explain that people would actually want to see it He already thinks I've gone a bit loopy with this challenge :rotfl:

Also, how much do people have in their 'emergency fund' per week/month? I'm thinking that might be an idea for me, with the view that it would either roll over or go into savings if I didn't spend it.

We kind of do this with our monthly shopping money. Whatever is left in the purse at the end of the month we put into our savings account.
