No buying (unneccecary!) toiletries in February Challenge!!!

U/U TommyGuns Shampoo The purple one. I can't remember the scent and I've thrown the bottle now
WNBA There was nothing wrong with it. But true to from I had bought about 8 bottles when it was reduced in Boots. That may have been 4 years ago now and thats the last of it. It took an age for our Family of 4 to finally finish it off.

I did once post a photo of some of my stash on here. That was back in the very beginning of joining maybe about 3 years ago. I might get the whole stash together and photograph it again.
I don't know how you all have the patience to type up a list.

I cannot be alone in thinking that that is a truly awesome name for a cat, especially a grand old dame. In our house all cats were called Crackers, no matter on sex or age (if rescued) I look forward to being in a position where I can have cats again so I can give them cool names. (There is a current Crackers you see, a ginger stuffed toy in my mums pensioners bungalow)

Hi all!

Another UU (or at least it will be by the time I moisturise my feet before bed): S&G The Rigtheous Butter (50g).

WIBA? Yes. Really like the scent and it absorbs well to leave skin noticeably softer, but I won't need to as I have oodles more moisturisers to use, including a large RB in my drawer.

And what a sneaky Pickle am I: a friend gave me a gift of S&G minis before I bought the bag with box in set from 2 Christmas's ago when it was OOTW, so I decided to use up the minis first, that way if there were any I didn't like, I only had to endure the little 'uns and I could give away/sell the biggies! (I haven't had that problem yet, but it might happen for the spray moisturiser, which I think is going to be a problem for me to get used to, but we shall see...)

Would it work with gluten free flour LadyM? I know that I saw GF flour on approved foods a while back, don't know if it's still there?

We used to buy the ready-made gluten-free pancake mix but we didn't get any pancakes out of it because they all kept sticking to the pan and disintegrating.

DH has to do all of the cooking because I'm a bit of a health hazard in the kitchen (for M.E reasons. Not because I can't cook.:p).

Right, going to go and attempt to have a bath (if DH will help me in and out ) and attempt to use up some of my stash.

One UU and some ins..

The UU was Palmolive olive shower cream. It's lovely and can usually be got for £1 somewhere. What's not to like? WBA. Finished it after running 6 mile cross country race this morning. I should have stayed in and had the scotch pancakes!

The INs were a set of BS Shea butter shower cream, soap, scrub and body butter from DH as a valentine's present. I really like this stuff but did find it funny because it's he who regularly points out how many toiletries I have! I was quite relaxed because I really feel like I'm making progress now.

I was interested to read about some of our contributors who are out of the habit of using make up. I can never get out of that habit because I have 10 tons of it to use up (only a slight exaggeration) but I wear it to work because it makes me feel a bit more polished and 'on', if you follow me. I still think that women are judged on their appearance more than they should be.

Hurray I finally have UU for February :j

Avon Skin so Soft Fusions body wash - WNBA, for many reasons, it has long been discontinued, I wasn't that fussed about the scent and I have a decade's supply of shower gel underneath the bathroom sink!
This does mean I finally get to start a new shower gel I have a Lush Snow Fairy on the go which is quite a strong fragrance so I think I will go with a lighter scent for when I don't want to smell like a Snow Fairy :rotfl: I also have a few 'nice' shower gels which I want to get on with using before they go off. Although my Avon ones are older I think they have enough preservatives and fragrance to keep them good for longer than the L'Occitane and Lush stuff

Also UU a sample vial of Avon Far Away Eau de Toilette - WNB, it wasn't my kind of scent, a little too heavy for everyday

I have also cut open a tube of No 7 Foundation and am sadly nearly finished a L'occitane Shea hand cream so should get another couple of UU this month.

A UU to report - Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturising Lotion. Was GWP and I would use it again if free with purchase but probably only in Summer when my skin's not so dry.

UU- boots expert condition nail polish remover

WBA? Yup, did the job, did seem to condition (despite being full of acetone too) got a bottle of cutex to move onto now tho. I dont have a problem with these at least, one of the few things I only have one bottle of at a time!

After 14 months ( :eek: ) of doing this challenge I have finally summoned the willpower to start my stash list. I held off doing it at the beginning because I hoped to UU loads of stuff and have less to write down!! I have only completed shower gels and body creams, but tbh these are my worst toiletry stashes by far. My shampoo and conditioner stash is tiny in comparison! The make up stash is far too big to ever write down, needless to say I will not be buying eyeshadows or lipgloss for a very long time.

I do wear make up every day, mainly out of habit, but I also look a bit pale and sickly without it. Or as my mum said when I was staying one Christmas "I forgot how freckly you are without make up on" Charming :rotfl:
