    [FONT=Times New Roman, serif]Ok here is my starting list, well what I can find! I have loads of nail varnishes and sachets from magazines but they are all over the place. Will round them up this week and add those to the list. Currently it stands at exactly 100 to use up, with 49 started/currently in use.... I went through a stage of playing with my hair lots, hence loads of different hair products! I've also counted all the mini/travel sized I had, they are all in bags ready for when I go away later this year, still listed them as they still need to be used up! The ones in red are the ones started![/FONT]

    Tenth Anniversary Combo Breaker Debt-free and Proud!
    Another UU, Lush ruby red slippers bubble bar. WIBA yes really liked the fragrance, very exotic smelling and not what i was expecting at all. I have one more left and a blue one with a moon on and 'm all out of bath bombs and foams:eek:
    Debt free and busy treating myself:)

    No more toiletries/make up until I've used what I've got stashed since Jan 2011, graduated October 2012. Restocked Dec 13..damn those sales

    I'm in for May again too please! :)

    I didn't buy anything really in April so I think the challenge is working!

    I am moving back home in a couple of weeks so am on a mini mission to use up some of my half used toiletries so I don't have too many bottles/tubs to take back with me.

    Have a good evening everyone!

    Evening folks!

    Im not really technically in this month - not really much point when I physically can't buy anything anyway :D Still collecting the freebies though (every little helps, as they say)

    Dont think I had any UU in April - just a few freebie INs so my stash is still growing regardless lol :p

    Hope everyone had a good weekend - Ended up having a slightly random day yesterday, started off by leaving the house at the same time as my neighbour so he ended up offering us a lift down to the station (he is soooo lovely) which was good, got to the station and there was a steam train there - our trains were all delayed but it was worth it and got to see the train leave, took a few pics and a vid for my dad (he loves steam trains). Spent the day shopping - well me just looking haha, OH bought a fair bit though, went to the cinema (free with tesco vouchers :p) and then went out for a meal. All in all a fairly good day.

    OH has just had his car insurance renewal through :eek: how much?? Somehow despite driving for 4 years with no endorsements and a year no claims his insurance has gone up by about £300 to £1K - his mum is browsing for cheaper alternatives so at least thats a job less for me :p Although this week I seem to have my work cut out as it is, have to sort out a credit card for OH, set him up and ISA, sort out something for his birthday and go vote in the elections....

    OH picked up his presents today from his parents, his mum told me she bought him a few pairs of swimming shorts (and a few other things I cant figure out) - but at least thats a worry off my mind as its definetly not the same as what Ive got him (at Christmas we both got him the same presents :eek:).

    My mum informs me I have a 'mysterious' package back there - no idea what it could possibly be as I rarely get anything sent there unless it is an excellent freebie but I am racking my brains and cant think of anything Ive ordered recently to their house...Mum said it feels like it could be a box of perfume haha - get to find out on Friday as they are coming up to Le Port so I might be confessing to a surprise in :p
