    I'm in!
    Only things to buy this month that I can envisage should be deodorant, bubble bath and maybe shower gel.

    I'm in on the moisturising, I'm great at doing my face routine, not so much body and given the fact i'm on a bit of a gym mission this could make me feel really good!

    Good luck everyone we can do it!

    I'm in for another month. This is my one year anniversary on the thread! :D

    Another UU over the weekend - my beloved Anna Sui Dolly Girl perfume has finally gone. I've had it for a few years and love the smell, definitely a buy again but I have some more perfumes I really like at the moment as well so will wait a bit longer. Perfume is the only thing I seem to get through quickly!

    Expecting a slow month as I did so well in March - I had 17 UUs!

    As far as moisturising goes, I have to do my face every day as even washing with just water dries my skin out. I use body lotion after every shower to help get rid of scaly bits as it looks like the sun might finally be on the way...:T

    The dry patch at the back of my head still hasn't gone after over a week of hydrocortisone cream, and it still itches. :( Trying to get an app to see my GP, but no chance the day after a bank holiday.

    morning all,lovely and sunny here but still very cold:(

    started to use some anti stretch mark stuff today(cannot say more or will have to kill you all on bbs rules:rotfl:)think it may be a bit late given that my youngest is 23:rotfl::rotfl:you have to apply 3 times a day for 12 weeks which is a pain:mad:not sure that will work for me,def not taking it on holiday.

    run out of Clarins eye make up base stuff(am hopeless at remembering names of things)which is a shame as just about the only thing I have not got in my stash:(may well do without for a bit,torn between buying some from debs using reward points plus cash or waitin g till its bonus time then buying it and more stuff I don't need.hope to use a lot of mini stuff on holiday and will take nice shower gel to share with OH.
    checked Mango online as there is a lovely one in tenerife and cannot understand why the prices are lower than the UK:(good news is we get a case each instead of our usual sharing so will be able to bring clothes back if they have my size in(Zara for some strange reason only sell very small sizes there:()

    Josslette - wow that is some stash list although I bet if I typed mine up it would be similar or more.

    And - my Mum takes Evening Primrose for her hair and has said it really helps with stopping it thinning and losing too much of it.

    I have two uu

    Champneys Citrus Glow body lotion - WBA, this is a lovely scent, it is orange and cardamom so it has a nice spicy hit to it. Mine was just a 40ml mini tube but I got three full applications from it so good value too.

    Estee Lauder Invisible Foundation - WBA and already have another in the stash. For now I have replaced it with Bourjois Healthy Mix & serum.

    I also have ins from yesterday, I had a £10 Boots voucher from doing surveys so I spent that and took advantage of the 3 for 2 offer:

    S&G Kick !!! concealer
    Rimmel Scandaleyes eyeliner in Nude
    Maybelline Nail Polish in Rose Poudre

    Then I added in Champneys Distant Shores bubble bath to go with the set I got for my birthday last month.

    I also bought one of the Japenese wash cloths from the body shop to try out, had a go with it in the shower this morning and it is rather nice.

    Wow some people on here have a severe lip gloss fetish! :rotfl:

    Mind you what my stash lacks in make-up, it makes up for in toiletries!

    One UU from me - Head & Shoulders Cool Menthol shampoo 500ml - WMBA, decided to use it up as a bath cleaner as people said it did wonders for their taps, and it really did! Was also nice the couple of times I used it on my hair!

    My stash number might go down somewhat later, I think I might have over-counted the number of items I have, I appear to have 367 not 388, will do a proper count of everything this arvo!

    Afternoon ladies,

    Hope you are all well
    Welcome back Scrappie, it's lovely to see you back with us again, I do hope things are a little calmer for you, xo

    Two uu's today:
    Gok shower gel with rose oil, this is from a set I received at Christmas, this lathered up really well but the scent was a bit meh,

    Elvive nutri-gloss light shampoo, this is excellent, leaves my hair feeling very clean and soft, pretty good price wise too, wba

    Happy pampering, xo

    I know! I was quite shocked when I wrote it up and I've realised that I forgot to put lip liners on my list and couple of other toiletries :o oopsie.

    Had a look round boots, superdrug and home bargains today but managed to come away empty handed! Writing up my stash list has really shocked me and I've realised it's going to take me years to use all that up! Especiallly the make up! I'm going to have to wear a full face of it everyday lol!

    One good thing is that I've rediscovered lots of things I havn't used in a while and I'm now going to try and use a different eyeshadow and lip product everyday day now, maybe for a month to start off with. Might post my progress on here :) If anyone with lots of make up would like to join me that would be fun! :D
