Hello, me again
I am continuing as I have barely touched the lush pile!
A xx0 -
Thanks Trudij for starting us off for another month. I am back in yet again. I had a great January on the UU front with 28 UU and only 7 INs costing £11
. I am feeling very pleased with myself for hitting my 50% UU rate in under 18 months (I started the challange in Oct 2010).
This month I feel will be a bit more of a struggle as most of my products are newly opened and are full sized. Still it's all very :money:!
This month's challanges will be:- Use body lotion after my morning shower
- Use foot lotion after morning shower
- Paint my toenails
- Paint my nail on a weekly basis
- Use brow pencil everyday
- Ebay a few items (if they have a free listing weekend)
I will be back with my stash list.No buying toiletries Graduated May 2017Decluttered 2016 2469 items, 2017 1580 items :j2018 3060 itemsSealed Pot Challenge No 0380 -

I would like to join again too. I have been pretty good thro' January. I have started to try and organise the stash, a recent house move meant it was in boxes all over the place
In use I have a bathroom set, a weekend bag set and a campervan set, which stayed in the van ready for off. Next task is to try and to end up with just one lot of items in use and just grab and go when away, van now stored at home, not several miles away, so in theory this should work!The best thing about the future is that it comes one day at a time.

Hi Ladies, I'm back in for February, thanks Trudij for starting us off this month0

I'm in again; those January sales are my ultimate weakness
Thanks trudij for starting this month's thread.
My aim is to not buy anything in February. OK, slightly unrealistic for me to go cold turkey, but I really don't need anything. I placed an order today though for a herbal supplement, and gave in to the at basket special offer of a Gatineau primer for £5, when equivalent rrp is £22. That's going in January's totals
GA
S&G Hand Food (full size): WIBA? Maybe. Gave this to a friend I met up with this evening. I have one hand cream in use and one in stash & my friend had mentioned last time we met that she was going to buy one, offered to give her this to save her buying oneNo buying unnecessary toiletries/makeup in May: Unnecessary spend £17.60
May INs: 14 UUs/OUTs/GAs: 11
2012 INs: 77 UUs/OUTs/GAs: 91
Savings from UUs: £60.50

I'm in again please!! Thanks to Trudi for the shiny new thread. :-)
I had no purchased ins last month so am counting January as a success - my first non-buying toiletries month!! I did however go home to see my mum at the weekend and ended up with more 'donations' - from memory I think 3 shower gels, a bottle of bio-oil (which I needed anyway!), and a couple of other things - toothpaste and the like. I also received a lovely gift of a fancy L'Occitaine Shea butter set as a late Xmas present from a friend, and a tube of Pawpaw cream from OH's sister that she brought back from Australia - Apparently it's awesome as lipbalm etc.
So, onto February. Determined not to buy anything this month either. I am however getting fed up with some products that I'm trying to use up and just don't suit my skin - a no7 oily cleanser and toner, and a philosophy purity cleanser - I may have to bite the bullet and give them up! If they're anyone's HG products let me know as I might well be happy to swap them!! After I have a sort out I'll post any swapsies on the FB group.
Hope everyone's ok, I shall try to swing by more frequently than in recent months - although hopefully still with my halo intact :-)

OK, so technically a UU from last month, but I decided it had bitten the bullet after midnight so I'm being strict.
: OS Shaving gel with mint and tea tree.
WIBA? Yes! It'sa good shower gel and gives a nice tingly sensation to the legs.I don't even care that it's meant for boys!(It was on special offerand I'm alreadyan OS addict so Ithought I would give it a go!)
Please call me 'Pickle'
