Another 2 UU! 2 deodrants, one sanex and one wilko's own. The Sanex is ok on delicate skin, but doesn't seem that effective, and Wilko's is less than 50p and does the job, so quite happy about that and got another one out the stash

Two UU:
Imperial Leather Wake Up Shower - WIBA? No, cos its stinks funny
Nivea deoderant - WIBA? Possibly, as it does the job, but the smell isnt right...maybe I need to try another one

Hi everyone - hope you are all having a good weekend. I have some UUs to report

Head and Shoulders Shampoo - one of the huge bottles and it has lasted me for ages! WIBA? Yes, already have.
Corsodyl mouthwash - WIBA? Yes I would, however, I now have 3 boots bottles to work my way through.
Colgate toothpaste - WIBA? Yes, in my opinion Colgate toothpastes are the best.
E45 cream, small tube. WIBA? Yes I would, but not for a long time as I have other creams eg Nivea that will do the job just as well.

Afternoon!

Have been lurking on this thread for ages. I use (1) wash off cleanser, whatever's on offer, (2) Simple toner (3) Olay moisturising cream, (4) Dove deodorant, (6) Jason shower gel, shampoo and conditioner, (7) the same perfume since I was 18, (8) John Frieda finishing spray before I hit the straighteners. That's it. Period.

So why do I have a huge basket of stuff? Should I just throw out anything I have not used in the last six months?

Um, is it just me who thinks of them as being very different? Oooh.... For me, lotions are for lighter, warmer days, days when I feel that my skin is in good nick, they moisturise but give a fresh feeling too. Body butters are for colder days, days when you feel as if you want a warm layer next to your skin, to cosset and protect you. Sometimes it's a lotion day, sometimes it's a butter day.

I have used up my body butters over winter and now using lighter creams and lotions for spring summer so when it comes around to autumn again I can buy some more body butter.

To xoxo (great S&G stash), Silly Girl and Mrs P Pincher - welcome:T

Afternoon all! Hope everyone is enjoying their Sunday?

Bad weekend for INs but they were planned mostly:

Pantene Clarifying Shampoo x 2 - was on a deal in Superdrug and I am on my last one so justified IN.
Nivea Sensitive Shaving Gel x 2 - was another deal in Superdrug and, again, I am on my last one.
Charles Worthington Moisture Seal Shampoo and Conditioner - another deal at Superdrug, normally buy cheaper but have used the travel sizes and they suit my hair.
Charles Worthington Mineral Hair Rescue Mask x 2 - you guessed it! Another deal and I did need to replenish my stash.
Sure Crystal Clear Aqua Roll On Deodorant - on my last Sanex and there was a deal on this in Boots so thought I would try it out.
Sally Hansen Miracle Cure Nail Treatment - had a voucher for 200 points from Boots and my nails are in a terrible state so hoping this helps.
Primark Face Wipes x 2 - on my last packet of No 7 wipes at the minute and these were a gift from my Mum who picked them up at the till.
Garner Intensive 7 Day Moisturiser - sachet that came free in a magazine.

However! I have also had a great weekend for UUs so not feeling too guilty about my INs:

Advanced Techniques Taming Shampoo - given to my Mum as I like my shampoos and conditioners to match and I had no conditioner!
Impulse Romantic Spark - WIBA? Probably although I prefer the smell of Into Glamour.
Hotel Body Lotion - did the job fine but looking forward to getting onto the nicer products in my stash.
No 7 Soft and Soothed Cleanser (miniature) - WNBA and I have loads in the stash! Don't really enjoy using cream cleansers - prefer washing cleanser off.
Sanctuary Deep Cleanse Facial Purifying Wash - WBA once I get my stash down a bit, left my skin squeaky clean without feeling tight.
Yves St Laurent Yresse Perfume and Body Lotion - given to my Mum as it smelt too strong on me.
Yves St Laurent Opium Perfume and Body Lotion - as above. Decided life was too short to persevere with using things up that I'm not enjoying!

Planning a pamper night tonight so might have some more UUs to report tomorrow! This thread has really helped me make more of an effort to look after myself and use up all the lovely products that were previously lying forlornly in boxes. I'm really enjoying taking the time to indulge myself and hopefully my skin will start to show the benefits in time for summer! However, I do feel embarrassed about how quickly I race through my products compared to others on this thread and i know it's not exactly money saving but my problem has never been spending money I don't have - it's more about stockpiling treats and never using them. This is why I'll be quite happy to get rid of things if they're not suiting me or have gone off (might have to find a home for all the cream cleansers!). This is probably more in keeping with PRCP than MSE but hopefully that's ok?

Enjoy the rest of the weekend ladies!

Off topic but I know you lovely ladies will probably be able to give me the answer I need.

As most of you know my husband and I have separated and he has now moved out. I'm in the process of filling out the census form and am not sure if I shouldn't include him because he doesn't live here or if I should be because we own the house jointly.

Part of me is thinking I shouldn't include him and just fill out for myself but I have this little doubt in my mind and don't want to fill it out wrong.

Just fill it out for the people actually in the house today.

Everyone in the country should be included on a census somewhere, so presumably ex husband will be included in the one where he's living now
