    hello sweets, hows things? and horse?

    after much agony we decided not to put my mare back in foal. :( She's suddenly seeming very old :(:( and she's very precious, I'd rather have her around paddock ornamenting for a few years than her ''being useful'' for 18 months. :(. We're currently in debate over what should join us next. well, I know what I want, but dh seems to think he's getting either an arab or a shire, (I really do need that roll eyed smiley back).

    things?? well they are trundling along in that wonderful way that only I seem to be able to manage.... :doh:

    Red though is doing wonderfully - shes 4.5 months in foal now - just a few weeks off starting the extra vaccinations,so its all suddenly feeling very real !! theres a pic of her on one of the last few pages of the June thread - I hadnt brushed her for 6 weeks when i took it,and nobody believes me !!!
    Sad that you arent putting your mare in foal,but totally understand why, there are more important things sometimes - and a nice one to keep the OH happy cant be bad ;) how about looking for a nice arab x shire for him so he can have the best of both?? :D

    Right - Im on call tonight - and as its now July I can announce my first UU of the month, my can of Sure deodorant. WIBA? maybe - though we tend to buy whatever is on offer. got a few splutterers too, so could be off to a flier if i do things right.... !

    night ladies !!! xx

    I'm in again, please.

    Right, this month really must be the declutter, clean out month. Hoarding old products must come to an end.
    I realised I don't have that much of a problem with toiletries....its MAKEUP! I honestly think I have 20+ unopened lipglosses/lipsticks. Dear Lord...you'd think I was stockpiling for the end of lip products. Why? :(

    Anyway, perhaps a list would help me, I'll start making one soon.

    Back in for July!

    June saw my first unnecessary cash purchase since Dec. - a BS Spiced Vanilla Body Butter But that's not bad going. It will get used, it was just wanted, rather than needed.

    Lots of UU's last month - about 10 I think - so this will be a quiet month.

    Thank you EH for starting this and thanks to all those posting stashes, love reading them.

    My aim is to get down to 1 or 2 of everything.

    Currently it's

    1 handwash upstairs and 1 in kitchen! YAY!

    2 shampoos totalling c. 400 ml plus 1/4 of a Lush shampoo bar and I only use 20 ml of shampoo a week. Plan is one or two bottles and one bar but mini YAY as I am sort of there. I just don't want any more huge bottles.

    2 hair conditioners totalling 400 ml - approx 30 ml a week used. Plan is: 1 in use

    2 intensive hair conditioners totalling 200 ml . Plan is 1 in use

    c 750 ml spread across 4 shower gels. Plan is: 2 in use.

    C. 700 ml Body Butter across 3 butters. Plan is: for no more than 2 200/300 ml butters on the go.

    c. 300 ml body lotion across 2 bottles. Plan is: for 1 bottle

    My face is a bit of a different matter - I was gifted in Dec and May quite a few creams that I haven't touched yet!

    I'm in again! :D
    I will try to do a stash list update next week after I have finished my block of nights.
    I'm an original member (oh the shame!) :o.
    But I do have nice new products in my stash now instead of the stuff I had originally. In fact, I think there's only 1 thing left from the original start of the challenge and that's DH's fake tanning face/body lotion. I shall start using that on his body because he's so blimmin pasty :D
