  • emsjune78 - congrats on the driving test :T

    Thanks all for the useful tips on storage - I was thinking of doing mine by date but I think by type seems more sensible - or I could be completely OCD and go by type and then by date as I have so much stuff!??.....I am going to commit some time to try and get sorted and at least seperate all the older stuff out from my stash so I can use them up first.

    No UUs today but quite a few splutterers so am hopeful that I will meet the challenge I set myself at the start of the year to UU 16 items a month from my stash. I am slightly ahead at the moment as I managed 19 in Jan.
  • No UUs or INs to reports,some splutterers though. However after seeing some of your stash lists is making me envious and I want to go out and buy stuff. Not sure that's how this was supposed to work...:rotfl:

    I'm another who has sorted mine by type - it really has made it easier for me to keep tabs on how much stuff I've got.

  • Happy birthday VALM and well done Emsjune!

    i will have a UU later on so may as well do it now:

    Monu recovery balm sample WNBA i think this gave me spots. I've been using the rest up as hand cream. the 5ml sample went a surprisingly long way!

    Has anyone used unloved shampoo as shower gel? I've been trying to persevere using up a couple of shampoos that do nothing for me but finding it a real LHJ!!

    i use up shower gel as hand wash and shampoo and shower gel are pretty much the same thing so you could always try that too?
  • I thought that shampoo could give you spots? That's why I always use shower gel on my back after I've washed my hair? Or is that a myth???

    I've emailed about the YOU box...very intruigued...

    I need to start entering more competitions!!!
