    No. Resourceful ;D

    I had 15 moisturiser samples from the freebies board a few weeks ago, I cut them open and squeezed them into a small tupperware box. Then I opened them all up properly and scraped all the contents out with a knife, I was amazed how much was still in the sachets. It lasted ages ;D

    on that front, i have shoulder length hair, but i only use about a 50p size blob of shampoo, or conditioner. always amazes me how much people use. my daughters hair is halfway down her back, but i only need twice this amount. as for my boys hair, i use about 1p size blob, as it is so short.

    You know that product you can buy that cleans all of the buildup out of your hair

    well I use washing up liquid instead, just a small blob once a month, makes hair squeaking clean, and been doing it for years and no damage to hair at all :)

    another one, cardboard cartons of milk & juice with thoise plastic pourers on the lids. when you can't get anymore out, cut the top off, you will find there a surprising amount in there.

    to make lipstick go further when you get to the end, scrape out what is left, mix with a little vaseline and seal in a container. will go on for ages, and moisturizes your lips while your at it.

    all the crumby bits from weetabix left in bottom of box, freeze with breadcrumds for crunchy coatings. (this also works with powdery bit from cornflakes, bran flakes, etc, but nothing with sugar or syrup etc on).

    i'll keep adding more as i come accross them, unless i'm boring everyone.

    I dilute our economy shower gel with the same volume of water and decant into an expensive shower gel bottle which whips the product into a mousse as it comes out. One bottle is lasting ages.
