if you rather want to get rid of it to have a spring clean you can always offer what you really no longer want to use on freecycle/freegle. Might give you some breathing space or you will spend years to use up stuff you no longer really like....I have a similar issue with books (might be OCD, other people call it hoarding ). First step - not buying any until others go!

slightly off topic but feel free to join us on the no more buying books thread, thats one of my other stashes along with wool and stitching stuff.
someone on the knitting thread coined it as SABLE Stash accumulated Beyond Life Expectancy.

i think i have enough stash to be knitting crossstitching and making up right until i need my box.:rotfl:
the kids have already joked they are guessing they will be left part of my wool stash when im gone:o

Uh oh! not even a week in and i have In's...to my defense i didn't buy them, i won them back in Feb

Soap and glory - Peaches and clean face wash 200ml
Soap and glory -Calm one calm all bubble bath 500ml
Soap and glory - Glad hair day shampoo - 250ml
Soap and Glory - Glad hair day conditioner - 250ml

The shampoo came damaged so i have another one on it's way, i'll edit my stash list to suit.

Also i should have a sally hansen polish on it's way, i won it in December and will NOT ever deal with them again but i'll add it to my list if/when it gets here.

But surely winning them is double brownie points? After all you got them for free fair & square. Nice haul tiffanyjane x

another UU tonight
lush dreamwash shower soap, again i think this has been in my stash too long smelt like Plasticine, went on the skin like putty and didnt lather im glad its gone. im going to pick out a nice looking hand cream and body wash next as a treat for sticking with these and using them up.

bonus is DD2 now has 5 pots to take to lush to get herself a free product!

only on the 4th of the month and so far 7 UUs and 0 INs

Double brownie points if i didn't already have 15+ shampoos to get through haha!

They'l be good for a blog post and i'll enjoy using them up, i have 2 beauty boxes a month so there will be more Ins but i don't pay for any of it so i don't mind so much and it's all being used x

Evening ladies. Some lovely stash lists around.

First for the good, the UUs:

KT2802 wrote: »

- La Roche Posay Effaclar Duo
- Benefit it's potent eye cream mini
- Sanctuary Body Lotion (this is a big bottle and am not even half way through it, could be a bit ambitious)
- E45 Nourish and restore body lotion
[STRIKE]- Eye make up remover wipes [/STRIKE]
- V05 Heat defence spray
- TBS Olive Shower gel
[STRIKE]- Penguin bubble bar (half gone already) [/STRIKE]
- Melting snowman bath melt
- Sanctuary hand wash
- Original source vanilla bubble bath

So that's 2 gone of the PP list, plus -

44 - John Freida sheer blonde go blonder conditioner - WNBA, wasn't very moisturising

45 - Rimmel Stay Matte primer - GA as my skin didn't like it

Now for the bad -

75 - L'oreal argan oil conditioner
76 - Batiste Cherry Dry Shampoo 200ml
77 - Dove dry ends serum
78 - Nyx soft matte lip cream in istanbul
79 - Nyx soft matte lip cream in stockholm
80 - Benefit Gimme Brow
81 - Rimmel moisture renew lipstick in vintage pink
82 - Garnier Micellar water

The non make up bits were needed (apart from the micellar water - wanted to try one of these as have never used one before). None of the make up was needed, as usual, there is a real theme to my purchases :rotfl:

In my defence, all of the make up stuff was bought using some form of discount code. Still not an excuse though!

Well UU one of the hair dyes, so that's £1 in my stash cash jar!

Have decided £1 in jar fior everything I use up that's under £20 to buy, and £2 for over. As I am using up so many nearly empties I should get off to a roaring start

Thank you for letting me join you. This is such a friendly thread- it's cheering me up no end!!

one UU so far this month

Radox Refresh Shower Gel - WNBA - actually smelled like a mans shower gel to me, at least it's gone now!
