Comments

May I join you all for this month's challenge? I have a cupboard downstairs, another upstairs, and stuff in the 3 bathrooms, I must go through! Seems the only things I buy these days are food and toiletries. Will carry out an inventory tomorrow.
Yes hop on over to the February thread though.Back for the No Buying Toiletries challenge. I pledge to only buy when I run out of a product that is not already in my stash no matter what wonderful emails land in in my Inbox or threads I read on MSE re: glitches!
