    Like you say INOD progress not perfection.

    I want perfection next year though, just putting it out there in the universe :p

    Oh we love a wee treat, couldn't get through this process without them.

    Life if for living :D

    So this applies to a number of different things but mainly stationary & toiletries!

    Does anyone else just continue to buy buy buy when they see a good deal or something that they want then realise they have like 100 of the same things at home - can't just be me?!?!

    So I am going to do an inventory then work through using up before I am able to buy anything else.

    I'll be back with an update later, might need to do it in stages I have hoarded that much :p

    I definitely am guilty of this! When I did an inventory a few months ago, I had about 7 packs of deodorant and 12 different shower gels. I'm getting much better at managing the stock levels now, it helps that we finally got round to putting shelves up in the storage cupboard so I can see everything in the same place.

    Aw glad its not just me Georgiana!

    Still haven't got round to making an inventory:p

    Picked out a nice orange OPI nail polish I have had for ages so have decided that until it is finished I will have orange nails :rotfl:

    Gonna just work through them all, might take me a while I have a lot of nail varnish!

    hope you don't mind me posting Dolly.
    I've been following your last diary and this one too.

    i think its great that so many of your spends for your anniversary came from savings.
    We had our 10 year anniversary this year and was really chuffed that i managed to save and budget for 90% of it too. previous years were not as organised.

    I'm not too bad with toiletries but stationary :eek: I have a thing for pens. I love them and i'm always buying more. I literally have about 15 pens stashed in my bag and i take my own pens into work (i don't like biros) I also love notebooks. I can't resist a shiny new notebook.

    PSL - Aw chuffed to bits to hear that my ramblings are inspirational to someone at least!

    Ammeretto - Well hello there. Welcome to the madhouse :p Honestly it feels so much better to know that its not going on a CC were it has previous years. We will enjoy it much more I am sure!

    Oh it's notebooks & post it notes with me, they are everywhere! I just ordered a new 18 month week to view diary, all paid for with surveys & it was on sale so I call that a win win for me!

    Amazon prime so it will be delivered to work tomorrow - I am excited!!!!

    I'm using pens that I nabbed out of our hotel when we were on holiday. It writes so well so I'm happy with that.
