My debt free diary http://http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.php?t=36300990 -
I'm in there are certain products I will not buy
Hair shampoo and conditioner for red hair with henna in
The story with this is that I used to swim a lot and it used to strip the colour in my hair so I used to use red products a lot.
Now I don't really swim due to back, neck and shoulder problems so they are not getting used up as I only use them once a week now and that's if I remember just to give the hair a boost
Current stash is
1x red henna shampoo but I'm sure I have at least one more knocking around somewhere poss in my suitcase or swimming bag
5x red hair conditioners and again must have at least one more that's 1/4 full some where
I shouldn't run out of regular shampoo this month as I just finished one but if I UU normal conditioner I can buy another
Lipbalms which aren't tinted for some reason I have 6 and I may have more somewhere
Face creams
Current stash
1 x vit E face cream which is nearly UU. This is now a body cream being used after I shave my legs as it's going off
1x natural high day cream. This is what I'm currently using and is less than 1/4 so I will be UU this this month
1 x natural high day cream which is full
1 x lacura face cream which is in those squirts bottles. I think it's about 1/2 full as I got bored with this. I must use this up next
1 x lacura night cream which is full
I also have 1 x natural high radiance balm about 1/2 full
1 x natural high radiance balm which is new
1 x natural high face mask which I don't even use as I tend to make my own face masks.
Then
1 x soap and glory eye cream just started
1 x lacura eye cream just started
And I think I have a dr hauschuka eye balm with 1/4 in somewhere
I have 1 x superdrug simply pure cleanser about 1/2 full and
1 x new soap and glory cleanser
So no buying any of these thus month or for months to come
I'm about 3/4 way through my makeup remover and toner and have no spares for those so can buy if I run out of those
No body creams either
I'm partway through a soap and glory spray lotion
I have a body shop one to use up
And a full tub of aqueous cream if my skin plays up
No sunscreen
I have at least
2 x full size factor 50
1 1/2 full size factor 30
1 X factor 15
Plus about 10 minis from a previous boots offer
No buying bb creams as I have 1 x revlon where I've nearly used it up
1 x revlon I've just started ( 1 in he makeup bag and 1 in the handbag)
1 x full revlon
1 x just started maybelline
I think that's at least 6 months worth if not longer
I will resist unnecessary purchases
I'm allowed to buy perfume this month if it's on offer and shower gel. And a decently priced makeup palette0 -
I'm in for another month!
2 UU already:
- Imperial shower gel, think it was a jasmine flavour? WNBA, always end up using loads and it doesn't feel that luxurious.
- Lacura Aqua serum. Already have another on the go!New graduate trying to get debt-free.
Make £5/day challenge: August £84.08/155
I owe £5400 (plus £34,000 Student Finance)

Does anybody do this challenge with a monthly budget? And those of you who put cash in a pot for UU's, how much do you 'pay' for each item?
Just thinking it might be better for me to do it this way as I'm clearly not very good at resisting purchases altogether
I put a £1 in everytime I use something, amazing how quickly that builds up but some people put in roughly what a product costs, that's too:eek: for me I think.
UU for me Wilko lip balm
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 sales0 -
seaside dreamer what a fab idea, i think i need to do something like this, it would make me more determined to use things up.
Well done ladies on your great lists this month, it's lovely to see so many people taking part0 -
Its like a mini savings tin, the trouble is I've no idea what I'm saving it for!Debt free and busy treating myself:)

I dont have a budget
I add £1 for every item we use including sachets to a sealed tin (DH and DD partake in the challenge), £5 for make up and £10 for perfume. I also add £1 for anything I TA, GA or ebay.No more buying toiletries0 -
GA
No7 lip crayon mini - this was a GWP and a work colleague was keen to try.
INS
2 x Mouthwash - this was necessary as DH took our last one in his overnight bag.No more buying toiletries0 -
Attempting a PP list - will probably add/amend as the month continues.
1. Soap & Glory Clean on Me shower gel - No1 nemesis - I have fallen out of love with the fragrance so can only bear to use it every few months - however I have several in the stash so its time to face my demons.
2. Soap & Glory Righteous Butter - as above
3. Origins plantscription serum uu WNBA thin and ineffective
4. Elemis Frangipani oil 35ml uu WNBA didnt care for the fragrance
5. Elemis Frangipani shower gel 50ml uu WNBA didnt care for the fragrance
6. Clarins concealer
7. Kleenex facial cloths uu wnba hated the feel
8. Boots No7 purifying mask. uu WMBA but there are better masks.
9.
10.No more buying toiletries0
