I'm in again! I appear to be getting there with the not buying bit but I'm a long way off using what I have bought:(
Must do some fabbing - feet need major TLCNo Buying Unnecessary Toiletries: July stash 72/0 INS/2 UU/0 TA0 -
maddiemay - the concealer tube didn't have anything I could remove it was just a very narrow opening with a doe foot applicator, I have been using it for ages so it is probably just a thin coating that is left on the sides.Debt Free and now a saver, conscious consumer, low waste lifestyler

still feeling very sorry for myself!can,t bring myself to touch the socket,edge of nearest remaining tooth feels very strange,not really painful,slept in spare room as DH snoring was keeping me awake and then he woke me at 6 going to the loo
got up early to collect a parcel from post office(closes at 9) a dress off ebay that is too small:(:(
seem to be under a dark star at the moment!
off to a concert this afternoon so hopefully will feel better,think the strong painkillers knocked me out as went back to bed and just woke up
whole load of stuff on ebay but nothing sold....how can you compete with a 1p post free from china?????
could not get a manicure until 22nd!!!so may try a facial elsewhere0 -
Thanks for starting us off again Clutterfree. I am back in for August too. Not getting a chance to post much at the mo but I am still sticking with the challenge.
Just back from a city break in Amsterdam. Beautiful city with so much to see and do. I even went to the handbag and purse museum. Got a couple of UUs from this.
Clinique City Block - use this every summer, love it and it works. Think I will hold off replacing it to next year now as knowing the weather in Scotland we my have had the best of it already.
Louise Galvin Shampoo - HG item for me. So replaced it last night. I am trying to get the shampoo stash down to mix my shampoo about every week. This also seems yo have revitalised my hair too.
Some other ins...
Got my Bzzagent kit in for Dove Oxygen so full size shampoo and conditioner plus body building spray and souffl! treatment. Will try these out tonight.
Also for my birthday I got Lancôme Hypnose perfume. Never tried it so no idea if I will like it.No buying toiletries Graduated May 2017Decluttered 2016 2469 items, 2017 1580 items :j2018 3060 itemsSealed Pot Challenge No 0380 -
Afternoon all, hope the weather isn't too terrible where you are.
We've had a lot of rain and scarily the bottom of my road and the one next to it are flooded, it is right against the houses and into some garages:( Being made much worse of course by those that insist on driving through when there's a perfectly good alternative. The rain has stopped for now but very dark still, I hope they don't get flooded, our insurances are already bad enough:(
Back on topic, I've had a bumper load of UUs and topped by my ISA with the resulting spends. Have a good weekend all.
UU's:
Crabtree & Evelyn Gardeners hand therapy
Boots Extracts mango body lotion
No7 protect & perfect intense day cream
Right Guard Total defence 5
Extracts shower gel coconut and shea butter
Onto my last deodrant so need to get down the £1 shop and see if I can restock:money:
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 -
seasideDreamer, sorry to hear the rain is causing you stress
I was sitting on my bed minding my own yesterday when a MASSIVE branch fell from one of the oak trees in the communal garden in front of our flat, it fell right on the path so thank heavens no one was walking there at the time. I was glad of the rain earlier as DH's cricket was cancelled
It brightened up considerably after but I've just heard a big rumble of thunder so I think we're in for another soaking.
Big congrats in clearing your debts :j I'm not indebted but my spending is currently WAY overshooting my income so I really need to get a grip on my purse.
Sorry to hear you're similarly afflicted in the face department, Willowbee
I have a few splutterers, at long blinkin' lastShampoo and condish are both feeling decidedly light and the Rituals shampoo I'm using as shower gel has just one or two more uses in it.

I have some uu
Lush Dirty Springwatch Shower Gel 100ml, WBA.
Nelsons Pure and Clear Facial Wash - WBA, this was very gentle.
Pantene Instant Nourishing Spray for Fine Hair - WMBA but I don't think it is still available.Debt Free and now a saver, conscious consumer, low waste lifestyler

Rosemary - poor you! I hope that everything improves asap. ***Hugs***
Seasidedreamer - I hope that the floods subside quickly. It must be very stressful. I hope that your house stays dry.
FizzWhizz - how fortunate that nobody was near the tree when that happened :eek: A huge branch from one of our old Bramley apple trees came down a few days ago but that was due to the weight of the fruit on it (fortunately no people or cats were near it when it happened!)
Fiasco - I'm glad that you had a lovely time in Amsterdam. I don't think that I've wished you a happy belated birthday (my memory isn't v good :rotfl:) so (late) MANY HAPPY RETURNS!I love the Louise Galvin shampoo as well. I might swap back to it once my Weleda one is finished.
Clutterfree - I'd be interested to know how you find the Hydraluron moisturiser. I'm tempted but facial moisturisers are one of the worst parts of my stash (along with body moisturisers, which I'm rubbish at using up) but I'd still like to know what it's like :rotfl:
Happy weekend, everyone0 -
Hope all well, another post and dash from me...
Another day, another 3 UUs:
4/182. Jenny Packham Salonniere body polish 150ml - WNBA, not scrubby enough and left a greasy residue
5/183. Mark Hill Gorgeous Brunette Shine Reflective Conditioner 75ml - WMBA in sale but didn't wow me
6/184. Aussie Aussome Volume + Conditioning Mousse 150ml - thîs was gifted and was fine but don't usually use mousse so WNB
And a GA/UU:
1/1. Clinique Deep Cleansing Emergency Mask 100ml - this is a real LHJ and has only one application left. I've loved it up until the past two times I used it - both last week and today it brought me out in a bad reaction, puffy, itchy and red area around my eyes. So DH was quick off the mark and will use the rest!
Just the dregs and a sachet of conditioner left so think it's safe to say I have graduated! Will replace this week with a NECESSARY in :jMFW 2017 #123 2018: £1,852.64/£39,200 (4.7%)0 -
So lovely to see everyone!! I've missed you lot something rotten but time has been crazy!
I need to have a massive sort out of things so will post a current stash list when I have done it, I graduated about eighteen months ago (apart from that soap mountain but even that is down to 6!!) but I do need to make sure I sort through everything and save as much money as I can!!
For those of you who remember - my horse, Grape, didn't get in foal
Last year - but this year she is and I'm expecting the patter of tiny hooves at the end of march. I'm also expecting the patter of tiny feet early January - bit of a suprise to everyone (not least me!!) but there are lots of people very excited! ( have a guess which I'm more excited by!!)
Also got a new pony, Plum. She's on loan to my friend at the moment, so at least if my child suddenly announces they want a pony I've already got one...Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup0
