    UU for me today No7 Total Renewal body scrub.

    It's quite exciting using things up. Never thought it could be so much fun.

    I also find it quite exciting. I especially will when I have used up the 750ml bottle of Lavender Baylis and Harding body wash I have had on the go for about four months!!:T

    Hello all and a warm welcome to the thread obop. :)
    Don't worry Deleted_User, I am struggling a bit too. As soon as I have a bit of an off day I always feel like buying something to cheer myself up; old habits die hard. As long as you are moving in the right direction you shouldn't beat yourself up about it. :o

    I have a couple of recent ins to declare too. Daily Defense Argan Oil shampoo and 3 Minute Treatment Conditioner. These were £1 each from The Original Factory Shop and I couldn't resist.

    I'm going to try and sort out all my conditioners this month so I can see exactly what I've got.

    I sympathise with you both.I am not happy in my job at the moment so am constantly looking for little things to buy 'to cheer me up' or to 'celebrate if I have had a good day'. Only problem is I can't make decisions so I buy the whole range instead of one!
  • Hi everyone,
    I am doing much better this month with temptation. I declined an offer of free nail polishes with a view to buying some others for £1.50 each and managed to stay away from the nspa toiletries on a recent visit to Asda (I never get to one normally so it was the only chance I had). I also 'fessed up to my best friend and her boyfriend, and my mum and brother about how bad my stash is. I think they thought I was a bit nuts so I am glad I can talk to all you like minded people who understand!

    Here is my PP list for August
    Baylis and Harding Lavender body wash (have been using the 750ml bottle for months now but only at night time)
    Original source Raspberry and vanilla shower
    Naked rose body wash
    Boots Botanics Restore body wash

    Soap and glory Daily smooth body butter
    Dirty Works foot butter
    At least one nail polish
    Primark candle
    Lime yankee candle (potty training little one at the minute so shouldn't be hard as it smells amazing and wee doesn't!)

    Foamburst Cherry Blossom and Sweet Vanilla (used up this morning!) WBA as it smelled gorgeous and was lovely and foamy and doubled up as a brilliant shaving gel.

    Happy using!!

    Time may be a great healer, but it's a lousy beautician.... :/

    Thanks, it was one of my charity shop finds and I thought it would make my photo a bit more interesting! :D

    I finished the Korres Vanilla Cinnamon Shower Gel 50ml during my shower this evening. I have had this for years and have a matching body milk lurking somewhere. :think: I wouldn't buy it again as although it was creamy it didn't lather much and the smell was far too subtle.

    Hopefully this will be the first of a few use ups!

    Am I the only person who looked down Babafette's list and wondered what the fawn was...?! Soap?! Ceramic bath oil container?!
    It's very sweet. I wouldn't have been able to CS it if it had been mine.

    These are all wrecking my poor scalp. I need to find and buy something that is not going to make my scalp flake and bleed. Any one have any recommendations? I have Nizoral but obviously that's not for regular use so I need something I can use inbetween. Was diagnosed with Seborrheic dermatitis when I was about 3, not convinced that is exactly what causes my skin problems, but if anyone knows of anything that has helped them then please share...
