    Hi ladies,

    Being a newbie, I'm not sure if I should be posting a list of toiletries? And make up?

    I'm determined to be good (or to at least try!) :)


    Hi PinkAngel and all the other newbies!!

    A lot of us have made stash lists just so we know how bad the problem is! It's only when you drag everything out of all the stash hiding places and write it all down that you realise just how many products you have (43 shower gels in my case :eek:)

    And if you do make a stash list we would love you to post it on here so we can all have a good nosey :D
    We love a stash list we do!

    I put foot cream on every night. My chiropodist told me that it just like putting on hand cream, your feet need moisturised. I tend to have socks on in the evening as my house is so blooming cold and take them off during the night if/when I get too hot.

    I do this as well, trying desperaley to use up the S&G hand food that has gone off and really smells so have been using it on my feet. I'll usually put hand cream on a couple of times a day as I'm ofetn outside working so when I'm at home will try and od my feet at the same time (if I can remember :rotfl:) but certainly at night before bed time.

    Away to watch Silent Witness :D
    Life is a coin, you can spend it anyway you wish, but you can only spend it once.
    Go as far as you can see, and when you get there you'll see further.
    Take time but don't waste time

    Hi Dollypop, that was me I think! I did buy 1l bottles of Redken All Soft from eBay and am happy with them, looks to be the real stuff to me :-) I think it was about £45 for the shampoo and conditioner - I'll have a look if I can see on my eBay account who the seller was and PM you later if that's ok?

    To everyone else - Hi!:wave::wave: I am very much back in the challenge after the epic fail that was last month...!

    I will be doing a fresh stash list shortly - probably when I can get the OH out of the house so he doesn't think I've gone mad.

    Thanks so much Flirtini, got your PM, you are an absolute star! :D

    I'm in again too, stash is slowly disappearing, just the bath bomB I treated myself to in the sales the mountain of soap, some fake tan moisturiser, sun cream (for hols) and a couple of shower gels to go really:) Still be at least another couple of months and thats not including the make up:eek:
    Debt free and busy treating myself:)

    No more toiletries/make up until I've used what I've got stashed since Jan 2011, graduated October 2012. Restocked Dec 13..damn those sales

    I've managed to do my feet twice today lol. That doesnt happen very often. I try to do my hands every time I wash them.

    I do like S&G hand food. How long does it keep before it goes off? Any idea?

    After my 20 GA I've also managed one small UU, so a good start really. Just shows how much stuff I had that wasn't suitable though. Going to make more informed purchases from now on and try and avoid impulse purchases. Will list everything tomorrow when I have more time.
