    Tenth Anniversary Combo Breaker Debt-free and Proud!
    IN- Garnier legs sahets, day two and still feeling moisturised from this morning..wasnt impressed after first use but am today.

    OUTS- S&G breakfast scrub, love this but too expensive unless I buy cheapish on ebay, think i'll go back to making my own scrub with clear honey and course brown sugar next through.
    St Ives- Apricot Scrub sample. WBA really liked this.
    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

    Well done EVILSQUID!! :j
    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

    So glad they will replace it for you emsjune, and so they should considering the cost of Radleys. I'm looking on their website at the mo at their Debut dresses that are all half price. We go on our first cruise in August and I need some formal wear but am trying to lose some weight before the hols so don't want to look too hard. Anyone know when the Autumn season officially starts in stores - am hoping I don't miss the boat (so to speak!) re: my dress x

    Thank you :) Tried to add the link to the bag here but it didn't work! Its disappeared off the website now as must be sold out but this is the pink version, the one I got is cream and will go with lots of different things.

    I think autumn clothes tend to appear in shops around August

    I bought the Urban Decay Anniversary eyeliners and the eyeshadow palette. This was a pre-challenge purchase. Neither were full-price, I hasten to add. I love both (thankfully!) but they could do with being used more :rotfl:

    Used up no.60:

    Balance Me Super Moisturising Body Wash (125ml)

    I loooooove this stuff! I have lots squirreled away from when it was a freebie (I bought them up on eBay). I love the smell, it doesn't have SLS or any other nasties and I find it moisturising. It may be my HG shower gel (gasp!)

    I've decided that my HG lip balm is the original Burt's Bees beeswax one. I have lots of other odds and ends of lipbalms to use up (boooo!) but once I'm done I'm only going to buy BB. It's such a relief to use it after concentrating on using up two not very nice balms. :) I'll have to switch back to a not-so-good balm again very soon though so I can get on with using them up :o

    Might have to try the Burt's Bees one when I used up all of mine, but it could be years at this rate DH found more of my lost ones when looking for my John Masters one (which I found, even though he'd been practically sitting on it for the last few days). It was such a relief getting it back though my lips had started to dry up after using one of my other open ones instead (not looking forward to using that one up).

    SuiDreams - I'm glad that you found your missing John Masters lipbalm :) It's a shame your DH found more for you to use up though! :rotfl: I've collected mine into a box (:eek:) and I think I'll have to swap between one that I'm trying to use up and my nice Burt's Bees one as I can't stand having dry lips either :o

    That is a really nice Radley bag emsjune. Just the right size.

    I will have another UU tonight. Listerine mouth wash (the green one) - WNBA as it set my mouth on fire. I will be sticking with the blue or purple ones in the future. This was the first time trying this one as it was at such a good price.

    Am well impressed with this - I can only dream of fitting all my stash into 2 small drawers - still something inspirational for us all to aim for.......

    thanks for all the well dones!

    my eventual aim is to just have one of those drawers for a stash. i think its pretty do-able, once i have a good list of HGs i shouldn't need to just stockpile and collect stuff and most of it is pretty obvious when it will need replacing. i mean, 1 Liz Earle moisturiser can get me through a good few months, theres no point buying another for "spares" and "just in case" the second i start one. this stuff is only really worth the money spent on it if its used.

    Sing it , sista! :T

    Another 2 UUs: Sensodyne Pronamel toothpaste (holy grail) and Hugo Boss Orange body lotion 50m). WIBA? Probably not. It smelled nice but it's a bit superficial for my tastes.
