Does a meerkat what? *Is confused*

I think as in 'peering round like a meerkat'. Either that or she's selling cheap insurance in a dodgy accent....

Gave away 2 Avon shampoos to a friend. I'm really off Avon after my reaction last year and the poor service that followed so I won't be replacing these.

6 - Avon bamboo shampoo
7 - Avon almond shampoo

Off to break my resolution not to buy any toiletries/make up this month - realised that my foundation is my summer shade, so totally off-colour for me at the moment. Found the next shade down on eBay ending tonight, so just popping to town to check its the right shade before I bid!

Closed a case on eBay against someone who never paid for my Urban Decay lip gloss, so waiting to see if anyone else wants it as a Second Chance Offer. Twas in my UD Naked2 that I got at Christmas but I'm not a gloss fan at all!

emsjune78 - your let off the hook they didn't have any cherry in the tesco I went to

Did i did get 2 other nip+fab sets sweet almond and a spiced apple £1.87 each. But not ins for me mums had them to give as gifts next Christmas or for raffle prizes

But I do have 2 ins used that soap and glory voucher I got in Christmas set.
I got the fab pore and wish upon a jar. Will add them to my list later. I'm on my phone at the moment. 1 more out too though body shop face mask is getting chucked I couldn't revive it enough to make it worth keeping. Got one more use out of it but it's not the right consistency and a chore to apply

Oh a nail varnish sneaked home too was by the till only 50p!
I don't count my nail varnishes on here as there would be way too many ins n no outs but I'm thinking I might take a piccy of them share with you later (you'll see why I don't include them ) need to get them all out give them a sort

I just found this forum thread via Google and wanted to jump right in. I have promised myself this year I am doing a major clean out of toiletries and that I am not buying a single thing until all the ones I already have are used up. I am going to do an inventory tonight and take some pictures - Can't wait to join you guys!

I thought I'd do a stash comparison!
Here's what it was in September:

And then this is showing what's gone:

And THIS is what my stash looks like now:


It is SO much better now!

I've had another toiletries NBI (NonBoughtIn) from Am@zon. Will use, review and let you know about it. When DS (aka Dr C.) went to collect the parcel there were three others there for us, none of which had had a card popped through.

Royal Mail must have run out of cards, or just not bothered to try and deliver the parcels.
One of them was my grandson's Christmas present, which I'd reported as missing last week and been refunded for.
I fessed up straight away to Amazon and arranged to pay again. They thanked me for my honesty, but hadn't occurred to me not to report it as found. (Plus I wouldn't want to jeopardise the freebies!)

For anyone who doesn't know, Am@zon periodically invite people who review items well to become trusted reviewers of goods supplied for free. Am@zon give you a small range of goodies to pick from each month. The scheme is called Ama@zon Vine, and Vine reviewers are called Vine Voices.

I won a shower gel with Magic Freebies some time before Christmas. No sign of that, oh well.

Does a meerkat what? *Is confused*

It's like what roguey lawyer said! Kind of what a meerkat does stands alert listening for stuff!
Not the best analogy I know!!

Ruby_eskimo thank you for the lovely advice about Avene products, I realise I never thanked you. I will drop you a pm as I got a couple of Avene samples to try!
