No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries in December Challenge

trudij

Im in again (that soap mountain is shrinking, but nowhere near enough !!!!!!!!) thanks Sarah for the new thread !!

for those of you interested in the secret santa - tis simple, and has few "rules" (well - i think theres only one - it has to have a retail value of at least £5 (just so nobody gets just a single face pack or something !!) I will be doing the draw at the weekend (probably sunday) so get your PMs to me either here or on facebook - your name and address, your forum name (just so i know who you are!) and (as the others have said) likes and dislikes or allergies so that you dont end up with something that is no good for you at all !!

NEARLY CHRISTMAS (or cheese for those of us who got confused with that C word a few months ago..... !!)

That's 154 items. I've used up 8 in November, and 151 since Jan 1st, 175 since Nov 10 bloomin heck!

Just going through to highlight my list i've realised i've got a fair few things i don't like, don't know what to do with, have been open donkeys years so i may just have a proper clear out. i'll have a look out for a local refuge that may want some - any ideas how to find one?

rosemary54

Lemon_Tree

Thanks for starting the thread, Sarah.

I'm in again.

But with my birthday, a shopping trip to London, christmas and the start of the sales I can't see me doing too well

You could see if there is a local christmas shelter to you (google *town name* christmas shelter/homeless shelter) I'm delivering a few BIG boxes of stuff (not just toiletries!) to our local one on the 23rd - Anything they deem really good they will use as 'prizes' (bingo/quizzes) and everything else is shared out

UU - Men's Day Cream SPF15 (sample) - WNBA
Accidentally signed up for this sample and felt compelled to use it up. I definitely wouldn't buy this unless it was for someone else - moisturising but smelt too aftershavey on me. It was also in a pump dispenser, which was good for hygiene purposes but usually dispenses too much in one go!

Hello all,
I'm in again!!! (Not that i'll do very well this month )
Thanks to Sarah for starting this again.

One UU already (as predicted): Right guard xtreme dry 72 hour deoderant. WIBA? No, I didn't feel that this worked for me at all so will have to pick up a Sure after work today as I have no deoderant at all in my stash

rosemary54

arghhhhh am now getting the message stopping me thank people again!!!!any help?
