    Thanks for starting us off. I'm in!
    I'll update my stash list soon and make a final post in Dec's thread before putting it here :)
    New to this money saving lark. Any tips greatly received.

    No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries 2018 - Not going well!!
  • Happy New Year!!!

    May I join too please?

    Do Ineed to make a list?

    Also can someone advise me how I set up a signature on here?

    Thank you.

    I have a wish list of really lovely items that I would love to own however am determined that I can only purchase them once every item of that type is used up from my stash.

    I'm in again, it's lovely to see some newbies.

    I have failed to complete updated list and currently can't be bothered to finish it. I still have a few orders from the boxing day sales still to arrive. I will actually declare what I have bought and used. There should be no ins unless I run out if something ( let's see how long I can stick to it for!).

    I have a little uu - it was actually from yesterday -

    Elizabeth Arden Ceramide Lift & Firm Eye Cream - this was a gwp sample, it doesn't say what size it was but it lasted ages and was nicely moisturising.

    I also have ins from yesterday too, DD wanted to go into Boots yesterday when we were in town getting some things for DS's birthday, I saw a Nails Inc Micropedi with 3 full size Nails Inc polishes, it had no price on at all or on the shelf but did say the polishes were worth £34, I asked at the till and they said £17.50 so I snapped it up. The Micropedi is an Emjoi one and the 3 polishes are Uptown (a lovely pink), a plum colour and a gold with multi coloured glitter which I have forgotten the names of.

    When I got home I checked online and the original price was £79.99 then down to half price, it was sold out online so I don't know why it has ended up at £17.50. In my defence I only really wanted the Micropedi not the polishes.

    I joined here in November but I haven't been updating, sorry! After reading this thread I compiled my own list and have been sticking to it. I'm surprised by how hard it actually is not to buy stuff and I now know what is meant by Long Haul Job (LHJ). I have been trying to finish a shampoo and conditioner for ages and no matter how much I 'accidentally' over apply, it is still going! So frustrating as I have some Dr Organic, L'Occitane and now some Molton Brown (Xmas gift) sets I would rather be using.

    The only In I have had is a Balance Me set from a Telegraph offer, free box with ridiculous P&P but still a good buy. I bought two, one for me and one to give as a Christmas Gift.

    Although I haven't posted on here much, I do read through the thread regularly. You all have inspired me so much. Thank You all.
  • Happy new year!

    I'd like to join too please! My bathroom has a lot of storage, which of course means it gets filled up. I had a proper sort out on Tuesday, put everything in some kind or order. I got out all the presents I've been given, it's time to start using them up!

    I did buy some eye cream yesterday, but I had completely run out, and it's one I use every day. Oh and I got 3 for 2!

    I'll make a list of everything later.
  • Morning ladies and a big Happy New Year to you all xo

    Thanks Dolly for the new thread
    Welcome newbies and well done on finding one of the friendliest threads on the forum.

    I really need to update my stash list as I have been really lazy with regards to this for far too long. I received a lot of ins from my birthday and Christmas ( lots of lovely l'occitane) so need to add them on along with a lot of other bits and bob's.

    Realistically I won't need to buy anything for most of 2015 but as we all know need and want are two different things but I will try to keep my unnecessary ins to a minimum

    Happy pampering xo

    I was thinking as we moved into our house how much stuff I have and that I probably won't need to buy much at all this year. This is just the challenge I need. I haven't counted up yet but I have several minis and possibly a lifetime's supply of shower gels! Will count up later and add it to my signature

    Thanks for starting us off Dolly. Happy New Year ladies - wishing everyone a wonderful year with lots of lovely products to use throughout the year.

    I've have an In to declare - Faith in Nature aloe Vera and ylang ylang shower gel. Really looking forward to using this as I've heard great things about the range.

    Only 1 tiny UU - cool water woman shower gel 50mls. Part of a gift set from Christmas last year. Liked it and it done the job.
