I'm in again:) Most of teh stash is in one albeit rather lareg Lush hat box, however we (mainly I) also have one full of soaps, one of bath bomb type things and one of sun creams...Although I've 2 and a half weeks in India in April so that will help:)

My Goals for February
1. Clear out my bottom drawer of products. I'd like to make some more space for my other things, so I don't spend money on extra storage.
2. Ebay every week
3. Get rid of all the items under my "Do not want" list
4. Not spend any money on makeup (this is going to be a hard one for me)

GOOD LUCK EVERYONE! Thank you for letting me join again as well :beer:

First UU for me was this morning

Elie Saab sample - WNBA - this is a nice scent, but it finished off a little too sandalwood for my liking. I also felt the scent was elegant, but I tend to go with the more playful fresh and floral scents.

Hi everyone - count me in again for February!
First UU of the month:
L’occitane Citrus Verbena Shower Gel 75ml - WIBA? Not at the moment but was a lovely product to use and have used it up in a hand foamer (use 50ml to 150ml of water in the dispenser and then you have a hand foamer which lasts for months) I am using it in my old L'occitane Rosebud container.
Anyway the only IN's last month were the body shop hand cream set. I have tried them and although they feel OK I don't like the smell of any of them. Have tried mixing the wild rose and almond together to see if it smells better (only marginally) and have resorted to using the hemp protector on my feet. Wish I hadn't bought them now!

I'm afraid I'm going to have to join you have been reading the threads for months, but haven't joined in. I don't seem to spend a lot on these things but have still managed a big collection of some items. I am going to allow myself to buy only the following items this month

1 - Toothpaste
2 - Deoderant
3 - A lip scrub (definately needed)
4 - Brown Eyeshaddow pallet - only if I see one I like and its on offer
4 - Stuff for Hubby

I won't give a full stash list but some of my problem area's are
Mascara - unopened I have 3 full size and 3 mini's - Only one Full size one was bought by me, the rest were either gifts or freebies (one from buying Elle Magazine last month
Body Lotion etc - Some are free gifts with purchase (mainly BS) and the rest were St Ives products that I won
Shampoo & Conditioner - Partly due to trying to find new products after scalp issues last year and free trials.
Foundation - Have 2 opened and just bought the No.7 BB cream as well (but got this 3 for 2 aund used £5 vouvher and 250 points voucher)
Showergels - have 3 BS, plus 2 free ones and mini for Hols
Nail Varnishes - Have loads and get gel colours done every month at salon so can only use them on Toe Nails
Plus have mini sizes of all skin care items for holidays this year so won't need to buy Holiday stuff.

The big Issue for me is buying things to get free gifts (especially magazines).

Forgot to mention also got on the Olay Trial on savvy Circle so thats more moisturiser in when that comes.

Hi all,

Thank you Trudij for starting off the month's thread.
Still got more ins than uu but I'm definitely getting better.

I love reading this thread. It's so nice not to feel like I'm the only one with this strange 'obsession'

I was going to try and get round to reading January's thread until I saw it was 33 pages long :eek: and realised that as today is the first day of February will start again with this month's thread.

Reason I haven't been able to keep up with January's thread is that my little boy decided to grace us with his presence 2 1/2 weeks early.

Am still in on the challenge and have to say that since having Keiran my UUs have totally fallen behind, mainly because I don't have the energy to do the things I used to do before I had him

Hopefully once the sleeping pattern becomes semi normal I might feel I have the energy to start using things up again (will I ever feel like that again :rotfl:).
