No Buying Unnecessary toiletries in November

Hermia

I want to join in this month. I have had a break for a couple of months as my mother recently died. I have inherited her stash of toiletries so now have a flat that is full of the stuff. I managed to give some away, but I can't bring myself to bin good brands. I want to move next year and really don't want to pay to lug all this stuff to another house. I will try to buy nothing this month except moisturiser as I don't have much left.

I am definitely in again, thanks for the new thread sunshineyday! (I have nearly been doing this challenge for 2 years now as well :eek:)

I did ok in October, my UU were just more than my ins but I did get 4 free serum sachets which bumped up my total. Hoping for a good November because I have a few things nearly done (including a 500ml Clean on Me! :j) that didn't quite bite the dust last month.

Must not buy myself Xmas treats

Just realised updating my stash list that I forgot to declare a couple of UU:

Balance Me Balancing Face Moisturiser - WBA

L'Oreal Preference Conditioner - WBA (with hair colour)

So Oct totals were 27 UU/TA/GA and 7 IN - none of which were full price, see I am learning!! :j

Well .... have realised I am going to have to stock take in the bathroom too or it's going to look like I'm not getting anywhere / don't use anything!:o

Whilst in the bath noticed that there is already the following started:

• Shampoo x 500ml x 3 (different brands)
• Conditioner x 500ml x 3 (")
• Shampoo/Conditioner 2in1 x 300ml x 2 (")
• Bubble bath x 500ml x 3 (") *
• Shower gel x 500ml x 3 (")
• Deodorant x 3 (")
• Toothpaste / moisturisers etc not checked yet

* have brought one of these downstairs to try to palm off on DM tomorrow - bought it and really liked the smell but can't stand it anymore

I'm in again for this month

Noelphobic - saw at the end of the October thread that you've bought some Sudocrem for spot outbreaks. I have lots of tubs of Sudocrem round the house as my daughter has a sensitive bot prone to nappy rash, and I've used it on spots before too. It works well, but you don't need much and probably best to put it on only if you're planning on staying indoors

you're right, it's not a good look or smell :eek: I'm sticking to using it at night time. Not sure what I will do with it if it doesn't work - my son doesn't get nappy rash any more (he's 24 )

Shows it's been around for a while though, as I did use it when he was a baby.

Day 1 and I have an epic fail. Those of you who were talking about buying the Glamour mag with Nails Inc on the cover I hope you feel guilty. It hadn't even occurred to me before I read those posts...

IN: Nails Inc Motcombe Street, from the front of Glamour mag

Sigh.
