Its a very short expiry date - 14th February

Now you have said that it reminded me that I have love2shop vouchers which you can use in Boots but mine are all £10 ones

But I think you can also get love2shop as one of your methods of withdrawal from TCB which would be quite neat - convert your cashback into love2shop, buy 2 haircare and a tena light for £3 and you then have £3 in Boots points so its like you are can spend your cash twice over

Thank you both.

I have some L2S vouchers as well - £10 ones and a L2S card so I am going to venture to Iceland sometime. Oddly the card packet says it's OK in MS but the vouchers do not display MS logo as an option.

I am considering joining another thread.....
The one about not buying unnecessary toiletries and I assume using up what you have....

or I could try and persuade a few on here to just join me in declaring what we get in and what we use up....

I'm not good at joining in with those I don't know ...but again I guess everyone has to be the newbie sometime,but they do seem to have serious stashes of beauty bits over there....sadly as do I!!!!

I have been keeping a little log of what has left this month and what I have gained and so far its 10 out and 5 new things in...although this figure of 10 does include a couple of things that were one squirt and they were gone...the 5 in however are full sized products to test.

I am far too embarrassed to actually list all the products I am in possession of ...it literally runs into the hundreds and they need either using up or possibly even ditching because of age.

I have on the positive side not actually bought any toiletries of any sort this month.

I'm trying not to buy more before I use what I have too. Can any of yours be gifted to food banks? They are usually more than happy to take toiletries.

probably not able to gift many sadly as most of it comes from years of product testing ....much of which is in plain packaging or used some but not all.

I went through a phase a few years back when I would apply for any product going...I have learnt to be more selective but there really is quite a stash.

I don't use much - have never worn makeup in 60 plus years, can't bear the feel of it on my face, so it's just shower gel/shampoo/cond for me. And some hand/body lotion, but again I can't tolerate the stickiness of it, so they last ages, I never ever buy it. There was one, years ago, called body mousse, that was OK but I never see it now.

Other stuff, like hair colour, foot soak and odds and ends have mostly been brought here by my well-meaning DD, and she often gives me her hotel toiletries, but they go straight to be used up so they don't hang about annoying me!

Last night at her house I noticed she has made a start on the massive Tresemme bottles I got her, so the Umberto must finally have run out! And she offered me the pick of her stash, but I declined, due to my own little stockpile of JF/Tresemme. I'll have a count later. :rotfl:

as it should....although please don't confess to drinking twine from the disposable plastic cups in the room....the ones they leave next to the coffee machine.

I now have a very impressive collection of the champagne flutes that are year dated for christmas /new years celebrations that they sell in all the supermarkets and the ABC stores....I think we get a set each time we go as they are really cheap and durable....just had a look and we still have one glass that dates back to the 90's

Hope you are both still having a lovely time x

No plastic cups I promise No wine glasses either but it tastes fine from a glass tumbler.
It's a littler cooler than I'd like but did manage a dip in the pool and the hot tub yesterday. Hope you've got those pesky tenants sorted out. Why do tenants have so many boiler issues?
