Away to catch up with the February threadLife 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.

I shall join... I have a massive box (those big plastic ones) full of all kinds of things! Each month I say stop buying things till you have used what you have, seriously it would take a year to use what is in there!
Hand creams alone amount to about 12 tubes!
This is my ideal thread!0 -

Thanks Absinthe Fairy for the shiny new thread! Its March already!
I am in again for the month, I am hoping for a few UU this month as I had things I was hoping to finish in February but didn't quite make it.
My totals for Feb were 6 UU and 1 in, so my stash is going down even if the numbers are small
Welcome rockchick, this is a fabulous thread so feel free to tell us all about your toiletry stash. We would love to hear what you have!No more buying unnecessary toiletries 2018
35 UU / 13 unnecessary ins0 -
Thank you for getting us started Absinthe Fairy and welcome, Rockchick!
I'm in again, really it's just to stop me adding now that things are more or less under control.
Apart from some shampoo & conditioner that are on order from Avon, no purchases are planned and absolutely nothing is needed this month.Erma Bombeck, American writer: "If I had my life to live over again... I would have burned the pink candle, sculptured like a rose, that melted in storage." Don't keep things 'for best' - that day never comes. Use them and enjoy them now.0 -
