Busy, busy days Orange Ena... I have a cupboard full of smellies too - some of which have been there completely untouched since last Christmas (or maybe even the Christmas before). I think I need to make it a priority to use those up...

Not quite as busy as your days I'm sure It's shocking what I've found in my toiletries collections, proper little hoarder. I've made a list so I don't buy any more.....just hope I don't get any toiletries for Christmas! :rotfl:

Boohoo Monday again tomorrow and then only a week until paydayyyyyyy :T:j

Today
* NSD
* Had an unexpected bonus of £7 from a PA survey I did recently. I vaguely remember reading that there was a bonus for correctly doing something, I forget now, what with all the surveys I do! I shall not question it too much. Up to £8.38 now and I'll cash out at £20.
* Forgot to record that I went through TCB when I was applying for the H@lifax CC yesterday and now £21 has tracked and is pending :T
* No SB earned - another day off it
* All my eb@y items finished and out of 18 I sold 13 items for the grand total of!£52.68 (less fees). Very happy with that!

I did a few more sorting and tidying jobs today. I cleared out and rearranged 2 kitchen cupboards and the cupboard under the sink and found 3 more items for eb@y. I've had another eb@y listing deal so I'll get them listed this week to take advantage of that, and relist some unsold items.

I started the mammoth task of sorting out all my toiletries. Oh wow, not gonna lie, I've got a hoarding toiletries problem. Edited highlights.......
* 26 body washes
* 9 hand creams
* 9 body sprays
* 19 lip balms
* 3 bottles of argan oil
* 6 eye creams
* 7 face moisturisers
* 3 bottles of bio-oil
* 3 shower caps (stolen from hotels)
* 4 bottles of vo5 hot oil
* 9 razors
* 6 toothpastes (including 4 small samples from dentist - all unused!)
* 17 body moisturisers
* 5 cleansers
* 7 bottles of conditioner
* 4 bottles of heat protection spray
* 2 pairs of reflexology socks. !!!!!!? :rotfl::D
And loads of other random bits, some half used.
Bizarrely, I have no shampoo in my hoard.......the stuff I actually use everyday!

I have chucked some of it and I'll be giving a few bits that I'm unlikely to use to my sister and niece, otherwise, apart from shampoo, I'm sorted until 2018 :rotfl::p

I also sorted out some paperwork and some shredding so I'm pooped now. I'm only working until Wednesday lunchtime then not back until next Monday so I can rest a bit then :T

Night night!

Whoa, lady. HOW MANY body washes? :rotfl:

what a clear out. And a nice little sum off eBay!

What are you doing at the end of the week, are you going to go away?

LOL! :rotfl: I can't believe how many toiletries you have — I thought I had a lot at the beginning of this year, when I decided I would use up my stockpile before buying more. I had loads of shampoo, conditioner and shower gel. I've now moved onto samples, which should last me until Xmas. I have ensured that my mum is getting me some more shower gel though, because I won't last long after Xmas otherwise!

That is a fantastic collection. I don't think that I can match you there.

Omg I know, it's shocking :eek: I've been for 8 showers tonight so I'm getting through it now :rotfl:

I'm really just going to chill, probably go to the gym, mooch about a bit, count the hours until payday.......:D I'm meeting a friend in Brum on Saturday which was poorly planned seeing as it's 2 days before payday. Can't wait......1.5 days of work to go!

:eek: I know, it's terrible. I'very got more stock than sup3rdrug. See, you're sensible! You use yours up before buying more. I just keep buying it cause it's on offer, or keep getting it gifted!

I might post my list on FB kind of as a warning to people that they do not need to buy me toiletries......maybe just some shampoo :rotfl:

Haha thank you. I'm not that proud of it really I'll be interested to see your list of toiletries. We should have a use it up challenge or something
