    I definitely won't be finishing any more products now this month, so here's my tallies.  It's not been a great month as my allergy/eczema stuff that started in April has still been flaring up, so have cut right back on facial skincare usage- its been very sad, and also means it'll take a hundred years to use anything up for a while  :disappointed: 

    INS:  20 (£153.15 - 13 replacements, 7 unnecessary or new items- a lot of holiday items for travel)
    OUTS: 22 (16 UUs, 6 throw aways)
    Total:  ohhhhh just about in the negatives: -2 items from my stash overall this month.

    Thanks to the thread I've given myself permission to spend time/product on self.  I will join in next month as well.  Using up/not buying was part of it but also taking care of me too. Thank you  
    Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became

    In the event the proverbial hits the fan then co-habitees are better stashing their cash than being mortgage free !!
