I have moved back home now since I have finished uni so my toiletry stash has literally doubled and I don't know where to put everything.

OMG: my sympathies! If mine doubled, I'd have to move out of the house! (Where's that little smiley with the colour draining from his face when you need him?!)

Hi everyone!

I have moved back home now since I have finished uni so my toiletry stash has literally doubled and I don't know where to put everything. I have been quite good since coming home though and have several UU to report!

I know this feeling, I had that when I moved back from uni. You have a stash there for term time, and one at home for holiday, then uni finishes and you have a HUGE stash!:D

Two UU's to report, a sure deodorant WBA once the ones I have stashed are used! Imperial Leather shower gel, the purple one, think it was haiwaian something or other. WIBA? Probably as its purple my favourite colour! But I have more to use up first

Does anyone else do that? Buy toiletries just because its in your favourite colour? Or am I on my own with this one? lol

Need to start sorting my mini sized ones for the holidays and weekend trips. If i bag them up and put them aside they will all be ready and waiting! One less thing to buy for holiday :T

Yay 2 UUs: Alpha H hydrating glycolic face mask, WBA but not until I have finished up the clay version that I have; and Wilkos exfoliating cleanser, nice and mild and works well, was a bargain in the sale (25p IIRC).

I have decided to throw out the Ojon solid hair oil. I have never liked the smell and it makes my hair really unmanageable and flyaway, but it was expensive and I felt guilty about binning it. But I haven't used it for months now and it's just taking up space.

The Batiste Dry Shampoo (original) every one but me seems to use. It was only 1.19 or something in S'drug. I used it today and found it really worked quite well.

£1.19! - that was a great price - this is def an HG product for me.

Am trying to use up my Girligo but am finding that it is making my bathroom floor dangerously slippy, will def not be buying this again when it's gone. .

I was finding that too, I first tried standing on a towel but still managed to get some on the tiles around the towel so now I just spray it into my hand and rub on.:D S & G products are ok but I find the scent a little too sweet for me. I wouldn't rush to buy any of them - any I have have been gifts.

I have this as well and I love the smell of it (didn't at first though - it is a very strange smell - sort of chocolatey mixed with tobacco!). My problem with it is its too much hassle too use, I hate getting my hands all greasy applying it.

Hello!!

Just popped in to gloat that I'm going to BATH SPA at the end of this week, can't wait!! We will probably take the 2 hour package unless anyone else has recommendations - not sure what the restaurant would be like?

Can anyone recommend any nice restaurants there? I'm a veggie but we normally end up at a chain because we are so un-adventurous or have a voucher.

Boyf called me today to tell me he had UU a shower gel at the gym this morning, how cute!! Bless him. He does love his products too. I made him promise not to buy any more as we have so much already!

I like the newbie sticker - I read the notes when you click on it - it basically says don't be mean to them! I want one so people can't be mean to me!

I think mean people are few and far between and none of the forums I visit are at all cleeeqy (no idea how you spell that - perhaps it should be cliniquey for this forum!!) :rotfl::rotfl:

My horrid Dove Handcream is finally spluttering, been using up my arms too. Suppose I'll feel obliged to cut it up and use to the bitter end. Taking some treats to Bath though! :j:j:j

The Nicky Clarke Hairomatherapy Heat Defence Spray spluttered its last this morning! :T WIBA? I doubt I can - it's so old it surely MUST be discontinued?! I wouldn't in any case - much prefer T&G Iron It. Guess what?! Coming out of the stash into use now is one of two part-used Toni & Guy Iron It Heat Defence Sprays :T:j

Other than that, Splutterers still spluttering. I reported that my Mitchum Deodorant had died didn't I? Oh well, in case not, it has, and has been replaced by another of the same from my Stash!

Juliebunny Bath sounds like it should be excellent. I love the idea of going to a spa, but not the idea of actually GOING if you know what I mean.

Oh but EH, they have a rooftop pool! :j:j:j:j:j:j:j

Afternoon.....

Thanks guys - the exam didn't go too bad but honestly don't think I did as well as I could of, probably get a C grade - to be honest my grades from the past 2 years average around a 2.1 but I imagine I didnt do so good on my Dissertation or these exams so Ill probably end up getting a 2.2 overall....

My Evans orders got cancelled - bit disapointing but not suprising

Placed an order with H&M with thier code glitch yesterday but that seems to have dissappeared off my account online so I guess thats been cancelled too now

Cooking another stew type dinner tonight but Ive got ingredients for it that I don't know what to do with - it was a seasonal veg pack that had various things in it but the packaging it is in is wrong and so it says it contains things it doesnt (I assume this is why it was reduced) but says its got Sweede and Turnip but its only got one or the other but I don't know which one it is I have - googled it and they both look like what Ive got so Ive no idea...if it was sweede I was going to make sweede mash but I dont know what to do with a turnip if its that

I found out something slightly random yesterday - had a quick pop into Whsmiths and a quick look over the magazines and this months Glamour was only £1 (printed on the mag) so I don't know if they've reduced the price but if so I wonder if it will stay this price for next month with the Benefit freebie

Postman still hasnt bought me the shampoo I ordered even though I was dispatched last Wednesday.......

A UU:

Wilkos sport deodrant- WIBA? I think it was 60p so maybe?

My day face cream (an avon winter one from about 3 years ago) is spluttering...taunting me! My lidl almond shampoo is also spluttering as well, so I hope those will be gone by the end of the month.

Can I ask how often you use body butters? I use mine every day, but I don't find it greasy or clogging.
