    Do other toiletaries stashers also have a big stash of painkillers and the like?
    I know the toiletaries are not the only reason why I have two bathroom cabinets, two big shelves - all of which are stuffed with things - and a new four stage wire storage thing - about to be unpacked and set up - for one person,
    Though on days like these where my wisdom tooth if making one of its every few years attempt at pushing through, this is not entirely a bad thing, she says popping another Nurofen,

    I'm useless at keeping painkillers in mainly because I don't like taking them. I had a wisdom tooth which did that, it was completely wedged under my jawbone and in the end had to be removed under GA.

    One more UU - a decent sample size of Clarins Multi-active night cream. This had been lurking in the back of a drawer for a while and I was surprised how nice it was. Still think I can find better so WNBA but it wasn't a hardship to use.

    I have one of those pesky ones - wrapped around my jawbone and everyone is too scared to touch it and rightly so!

    1 UU-L'oreal Skin Perfection Cream. This was supposed to be on my PP list but hey ho. It has a nice thick texture and hydrates well however doesn't have SPF which I normally would like for the summer especially. I'm not sure if this would be suitable for oily skin though. WMBA if comes on an offer.

    It's almost getting a bit much now.. Offered body lotion and face cream with SPF. Taking both though, as I only have 1 cream with SPF and 1 body lotion atm.

    This is how my list is looking so far and I can already tell that I was over optimistic on what I would get through this month...there will be a few of these hanging on through to September! Oh well - I may not be diminishing my stash too quickly but I am certainly saving money by not buying items I have no need of.

    I have a uu

    Original Source Orange & Cinnamon Shower Gel - this has gone into the bathroom handwash bottle so it is as good as out now. Smells lovely. Have another of these in the stash.

    3 full size St tropez tanning products and a mitt to test for a panel. I sort of regretted of signing up for this though as I'm not sure how I will find time to test it and also I felt really overwhelmed with the stuff I have recently and really didn't want 3 more bottles.


    I received this a couple of weeks ago but didn't receive a mitt. :o Mixed results so far with it, glad I didn't pay for it. :p

    I have 3 OUTS :jsorted some items for a raffle, so GA 3 from my Boots sale stash, I think from 2012/13 :o because I wasn't at the 2014/15 sales. :) Still have a lot of the Boots sale stash left but need to be careful boxes don't get damaged and they take up so much space that I do really need to get them away. :(
    Life is a coin, you can spend it anyway you wish, but you can only spend it once.
    Go as far as you can see, and when you get there you'll see further.
    Take time but don't waste time

    People have started /will start soon to buy Christmas presents so I'm planning to flock some stuff on Ebay. Just will need a bit of time to have a look and sort stuff. Already listed 2-3 items. Also sold a box of nail stickers on Ebay so one out.

    UU #5 - Salon Selectives Protective Conditioner. This was my HG in 2002/03, so probably dated back to then!

    Replaced with a part used Pantene Pro-V. Have 2 of these in my opened stash, so have pulled out the 300ml bottle which weighs less than the 200ml - should be quicker to use up and it's a larger bottle so will free up more space ;)
