    I haven't done an official count but I think I'm under 50 :o

    Want to get through them just for the achievement then, if you see my other post, I want to make soap, as my husband is a beekeeper, as at least I will know what's in it and with a nearly two year old want to make sure what I'm using on his skin is going to be nice to it.

    Making soap from your own beeswax sounds lovely and just the thing for a little one's skin. I have been buying home made soap from a guy at a craft outlet that I have visited twice this year it is so gorgeous to use, rich and creamy and no aggravation to eczema either. I will keep a nice hand wash for visitors as I know a lot of people don't use soap, but as I have my own bathroom I can use a fragrance I like and have bought more masculine ones for OH's bathroom. The maker's soaps are either made from shea butter or olive oil and he uses either oil or fragrance, not sure how he decides which.

  • Well, I caved. I've had a pretty stressful week sorting out last minute venues for the show on top of being musical director and general fix-it person, and I ended up in Lush buying myself

    10. Christmas Eve bubble bar
    11. Floating Island bath melt

    for a relaxing bath while I have a bit of time to myself. No shame, I've been wanting a Christmas Eve since about January, and haven't tried Floating Island before… And I still have a good surplus of UUs this month!

    Floating Island is one of my fave's ENJOY!


    I have some INs:
    2x Dove deo HG
    Batiste dry shampoo (in a scent I haven't tried) also a HG

    and a UU from PP :T
    Lush Chai Shower Gel 100ml
    Don't turn a slip up into a give up:D

    No buying unnecessary toiletries challenge-in it for the long haul

    Hope you're having a great time Fiasco, I LOVE Edinburgh!

    Maddiemay - you'll feel less wobbly over time, just need to keep at it :D. I'll keep you company with achy arms tomorrow, I've just finished a body pump class!

    UU after my post-gym shower:

    19. Dove moisturising cream 30ml - WNB, I don't like the scent but it did the job.

    Hello all! I'm afraid I have some INs to report. Went to buy my usual No7 Fanomenal mascara and found a GWP if I bought 2! I don't count mascara as I use it all the time, but the INs are as follows...

    No7 Stay Precise eyeliner in black
    No7 Extreme Length Mascara (sample size) in black
    No7 High Shine lip Gloss, 9ml., in Whisper
    No7 Stay Perfect eyeshadow (1.5 gms) in a neutal colour

    These are all items I will use - though they came in a useful gift box, so they might come in handy in an emergency!

    Boots Smile 6+ toothpaste - WBA DD HG

    15ml Elemis flash balm - WMBA I liked this and felt it made a reasonable primer. These were featured in lots of recent GWP so I dont need to make a decision on repurchase for some time.

    Lush santa bath ballistic - liked the gorgeous green colour of my bath so WBA.

    Eye gel for testing
    No more buying toiletries
  • Quite a few outs this month, just found out that someone at work is collecting toiletries for a woman's refuge, so I am donating unopened items, soap, tooth brushes, face mask sachets, etc, that I would rather go to a good cause than me over-use them just to get them out my stash.
  • Popped into Wilkos because my lip balm stick had ran out and low and behold 3 in a pack for less than a £1, so that's 3 lip balm sticks in.
    Debt free and busy treating myself:)

    No more toiletries/make up until I've used what I've got stashed since Jan 2011, graduated October 2012. Restocked Dec 13..damn those sales
  • I've thrown away two lip balms, part of a gift set a friend gave me two years ago. I've barely mad ea dent in either of them over 2 years, so I thought it would be better to chuck them.

    Boo all the discount codes available for Look Fantastic seem to have stopped working for Naked 3 so they've clearly got wise to that.... Still, brother has kindly ordered it for me anyway, so excited!! :j

    Rubbish the codes had stopped working but hooray to getting it anyway! I really like the look of it as it looks quite different to the others.

    Dolly I love the sound of the cinnamon buns shower gel - might try and get some in the sales if possible.

    2 UUs today -

    187 - Nivea Daily Essentials Eye make up remover 125ml - WBA and already have

    188 - Batiste Fresh Dry Shampoo 200ml - same as above :rotfl:
