    Kadison - that is quite a stash, I also have a lot of stuff, I have some areas under control now but still have lots of make up, shower gel, body lotion/butter and shampoo and conditioner. Are you still buying?

    I am but trying only to buy when I really need to, though that hasn't gone well of late......I get a real rush when the Christmas gift sets come out, sad isn't it? :o:o:o

  • Ooh Kadison, not seen a stash list for ages on here and I do like to be nosy! ��

    I definitely beat you on shower gel and body lotion totals but you win on moisturiser and shampoo lol.

    I saw the boots Xmas guide but wasn't too impressed, it all seems too samey every year. I will try to resist!

    Thanks for the new thread. I think I missed the October thread, not sure what happened there but last month kind of ran away with me. However I did not buy anything and although I can't remember any UUs I'm hopeful there were some. :o
    So November I will be sticking to NO purchases. TBH I don't go into those aisles when I'm in the supermarket and avoid those shops as I know I need to reduce my stash before I can even contemplate buying any more! :p
    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
  • I am in again this month and hope I get more UU than last month! I think I UU a shampoo and threw out a solidified foot scrub I had never used. And that was it :-(
    Fingers crossed for November!

    One UU this evening:

    Lush Igloo soap 100g WBA and did. I enjoyed the scent and it lasts for ages. Moves onto another piece of Lush soap that I have in my stash.

    I have a uu

    Hawaiian Tropic Coconut Body Butter - I use this as a regular body butter rather than an after sun. I have more in the stash but WMBA in the future.

    I love this product.

    1 UU Avon Citrus Zing handwash. WDBA although have a small stash I brought back from B&BW. Have opened a pumpkin one which smells divine.
    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!
