Am I reading your post right that theres a code for extra minis? I can't find one - could you point me in the right direction?

the choices for them appear in your basket automatically when you put something in, its supposed to be one but its gone up to two

Almost forgot - TA Bonjela gel (I'm counting this because it usually resides in my make up bag when I have a mouth ulcer). It expired in Sept, and I don't know how safe it is to use once expired.

Hopefully going to have another 2-3 items by the end of the month.

I'm back

Another couple of UUs:

22. Sanctuary Mela Black Pepper & Ginger body scrub 200ml - WMBA, nice scent and decent scrubbiness but I already have a few of the original ones stashed

23. No7 Quick Thinking wipes x 30 - WBA when on offer, these are moister than most and find that they are good at removing all of my makeup with no residue, unlike many others I've tried. I prefer a proper cleansing routine for daily use though.

Big stash sort out today - and a good look in my massive box has revealed a few things which I must confess too.
I have OCEANS of shower gel and facial wash. I would have to wash an elephant a day to use this stuff up, then smother it with body butter and night cream to use that up too!
But I can't help the big offers - so now i can add Dior Waterproof Mascara to the dozens I already have as freebies from Clinique, as well as (yes you've guessed it) two facial washes!
I did repurposed a shower gel (Original Source Pink Grapefruit) as a handwash - then realised I hadn't run out.
Feeling a bit overwhelmed with it at the moment - I've spent so much money on stuff that really is OK, but not amazing - all in the name of bargains.
And I even gave in to Bonus Time at Debenhams - with extra points - to buy a Chubby Stick eyeshadow (love these but have loads of stuff to use up) and sensibly Superdefense cream - which is a HG.
I shall overcome - honest!

A few more UU:

Ren invisible pores detox mask - I liked this and it seems to have brightened my skin so WMBA. I like most of the Ren masks but much as I want to love the rest of their skincare the few bits ive tried smells awful.

Bioderma - The first time I used this I loved it but when I used it today it took quite a bit of scrubbing to remove my eyeliner. It left my face feeling clean and refreshed as if I had splashed it with water. Have another mini size to try before I reach a final decision as to whether I would buy again.

I've given away three bars or home made soap today (and a pot of jam, but that doesn't count for the purposes of this thread! :rotfl:)

So that's three outs, thankyouverymuch!

That's awful! I don't know why people get themselves into that state (and probably go home thinking it was an amazing night too!) Sponsorship would have been a better use, but hey-ho, you can't expect it of everyone.

I told him to take photos for a wall of shame but guess the boss would not approve!!!He says I would not believe how much cash is dropped on the floor by drunks!

1 uu a Richard Ward spray sold on flea bay,when the payment came through I noticed ebay are now saying send items by trackable post!how can this make sense with a £4.50 hair spray!!!!
being very good at the moment and not buying anything. As my hair has gone lighter in the sun(sorry not going on about fab holiday in California....wish I was there now tho!)I looked at two hair dyes in my stash and found they had both gone past sell by by over a year!!!so guess that is two more uu as went straight in the bin as cannot even sell them:(did colour my hair as roots were showing, went for the lightest shade(light ash blonde)but it is a mid brown and darker than the bleached look but still like it.

another grey day here,on a diet so no warming treats and really need to go in the garden as busy week then wet weekend = lots to do including planting big bag of bulbs.

I really didn't like this fragrance either. Just using the new violet one at the mo and that's nice. None of them beat the lavender one though.

I'm not a fan of lavender, so almost anything would be better for me! The violet is lovely, though

I have a single solitary UU this morning (I say that in the hope that the toiletries gods will bestow more on me) - 36, Lush Catastrophe Cosmetic face mask. WDBA, my HG mask, but I'm going to wait to get 5 black pots to get a free one :A

I have added Christmas targets to my signature - as of today, I have to ditch 17 normal items and 19 Lush items by Christmas - and I have a plan!

My 19 Lush items I'm hoping to ditch are:
1. 9 to 5 cleanser 240g
2. Eau Roma toner 250g
3. Ro's Argan Body Conditioner 225g
4. Silky Underwear 60g
5. Dream Cream 100g
6. Chou Chou Toothy Tabs
7. Fresh Farmacy Face Wash 50g
8. Rose Jam bubbleroon
9. So White bath bomb
10. North Pole pink and white 30g
11. Sexy Peel soap 62g
12. Freeze shower gel 100g
13. Happy Hippy shower gel 100g
14. Dragon's Egg bath bomb
15. pink bath bomb
16. Pumkin
17. Purple bubble bar
18. Carrot bubble bar,
19. Brightside bubble bar.

15/19 used up so far!

I'm not necessarily fed up of these, but I want to move on to other things/rotate my stash/use up older products, so this is what I'll be focusing on. Different products may creep in, but I'm not too worried about that!

Just wanted to say I know how you feel! I have SO much shower gel!
We can do this though..slow and steady. First step is admitting you have a problem now we are dealing with it. I am still in shock at my stash list though, what am I going to do with all my SOAP??! It lasts forever!

It counts on the hoarders thread though pickle
Were they soaps that you had made?
