    Ooh, shiny new March thread!

    I plan NO ins! There is NOTHING I need and I technically don't have any spare cash this month!

    Not sure I have anything close to being finished at the mo though!

    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
  • 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!

  • 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 :D

    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!

  • 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.
  • I'm in for March! If I buy anymore facewash or face cream I'm going to be very angry at myself! Hello to everyone! xxx

  • I'm also in for another month, and most likely for the rest of the year!
    I'm aiming for 10 uu's this month, hopefully as many as 15.
  • I am in again....must not buy, must not buy.
