    Thanks Lemon Tree. Those items are close to being used up and/or I don't want to throw them away but want to make a serious effort at finishing them. My overall list of items that I need to use up is much longer!

    Hopefully, by the end of December I'll have made good progress - I want to get at least halfway on all the items listed.

    2 UU to report here:

    Boots Shaving Gel - WBA, it was cheap and smelled quite nice and got the job done, but have one more can of shaving gel to get through before I can get round to purchasing it again.

    Lush Chai shower gel 500g - WBA, but not in such a big size! It's lasted months and I really like the scent but did get a little fed up after a while. Have lots of other soaps to use up before I even think about purchasing shower gel again. Haven't bought any body wash all year because my stash was so big!

    Oh Oh Oh - I have a splutterer - go me!!!!!!:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    It's actually the S & G clean on me shower gel - do you know HOW long this thing has been on the go????? Talk about LHJ!!!!

    I've been doing a bit of a stock take whilst looking for my elusive moisturisers today and have found that I'm down to my last deo (+ one in the stash which I think is allowed) and I'm also down to my last 2 dove shower gels and as they're both the same scent I'm going to tip them into the clean on me bottle when it finishes next week - is that cheating???:p:p

    I just need to get to grips with all my body butters and lotions now + the make up stash :o Funny thing is I have quite an oily skin so tend not to need much in the way of body moisturisers and I've a very sensitive face so find i cannot wear makeup for more than a few minutes without coming out in some kind of rash.........so why do i keep buying it?????

    Guess this is why I have soooo many - try them a couple of times - come out in a rash and then throw them in the back of the cupboard - do you know how long it's going to take me to use this lot up on my feet????? - my guesstimate is 10 years + :eek::eek:

    Hey ho

    2 UU to report and that meant I made my goal for the month of 10UU.



    Elizabeth Grant vitamin C serum- WNBA not as it was bad it felt nice going on and had no bad scent but if I am going to purchase a vitamin c serum i want something more hard core.

    Trilogy Q10- WBA as i did like it and my skin felt lovely after using it. I also appreciate the company using natural ingredients etc.

    UU: home-made night cream..

    WIM(make)A? Yes, good at the job, smells nice, and full of nice, fresh zingy essential oils. (I'll make another one once I've used up the tube of Botanics night cream that my friend gave me.)

    Happy using up, all! :D

    Before you buy sawan have a look at the reviews on makeupalley.com as those ladies are really unforgiving if the formula of a certain colour does not live up to scratch! What kind of colours are you looking for. I have just repainted my nails with OPI Sparrow me the Drama (dusky pink from the Pirates of the Caribbean collection) and I've topped it with Rainbow Connection.

    I was thinking of trying one of the muppets colours, not sure which one as I would have to limit it to one. Thanks for the tip about makeupalley, hadn't thought of looking there!

    It's so cold today :(
