Do you stockpile?

One thing I noticed when sorting through the bathroom and en suite is that I  am guilty of stockpiling products.

Now this isn't necessarily bad thing, but I do need to take stock of what I have and stop buying until I need things unless they are super inexpensive.

This image has nothing to do with this post, but I just found it on my phone! 

When it comes to my favorite cleaners (Liz Earle) I get it for my birthday and Christmas (both in December), so it is good that I have enough to last me half the year.

However, there is no way that MadDad is going to get though all the shampoo I have stockpiled!

So I have wrote a list of what I have in and am not going to replace unless they are all gone or it is a unbeatable offer.

The other thing I realised I am guilty of is keeping for best.  I have toiletries that I have been keeping for best.  I actually deserve a relaxing bath with nice products ever week, so I am going to use them now!

    I am just as guilty as you. I have about 15 different bubble baths and shower gels that sit in the back of the cupboard and a couple of more luxurious products that I tell myself need a special occasion. Wonder how many of them will come along? ;)

    I escape to a long soak in the bath most evenings - it's the only thing that gets me through the day sometimes! Ha! I never save for best I use and enjoy it all every single day so good for you I say! As for stockpiling though, I'm terrible for buying too much toothpaste. I just can't help myself when it's on offer as there are so many of us that we go through so much but I end up with tubes and tubes of the stuff ;-)

    GUILTY!

    I did a clear out the other day and you wouldn't believe how many bottles of shampoo/body lotion/shower gel/perfume we have in. It is beyond reason. I have put them on a shelf in the wardrobe so I can't go in there without going "OH MY GOD! Why do I have all this stuff?!" that way (well this is the plan) I won't buy anymore. I just can't resist a good offer. It is a serious condition.

    I agree. I found packs of wrapped l'occitane soap that my mum bought for me LAST Christmas. I've now removed the dispenser soaps from my bathrooms (I'll save this for the kitchen) and I've put one in each bathroom. It smells lovely now and adds a touch of luxury x

    Oh my goodness, you have described my situation exactly! I too plan to 'shop my stash' and use up what we already have. I've managed to accumulate so much by exploiting glitches and grabbing freebies so I dont feel *too* bad when I glare up at my tower of toiletries.

Dumping the tumble dryer and Ecoforce giveaway

We have a tumble dryer, but it broke before christmas and we  couldn't afford to get it repaired, so I have been managing with an old fashioned wooden clothes rail and hanging bedding over the doors to dry, This last would of weeks however, I have been hanging the washing outside and it has been drying much quicker and with less creases, so I am going to take the plunge and instead of getting the dryer replaced I am going to give it away. Ecoforce heard me on twitter bemoaning the fact that I was chasing laundry round the garden as my pegs were not working and very kindly sent me some of their Ecoforce pegs to try and they have been fab. So in conjunction with Ecoforce I have a year's supply of green cleaning and washing up wonder products worth £50 comprising the following: EcoForce Peg Basket x 1 EcoForce Clothes Line x1 EcoForce Pegs x 2 packs Several of each of: EcoForce sponges, scourer...

Bissell Vac and Steam Machine Review and Giveaway

I have hard floors downstairs which I love.  They are much more practical than carpet with 2 mucky boys and a dog. Over the past 8 years I have tried all sorts of ways to keep them clean and I think I have finally found the product that does that for me. It is the  Bissell Vac and Steam Machine .  This amazing suel action machine vacuums and steam cleans either independently or at the same time.  It means that I have done away with my vacuum and steam cleaner downstairs (which I gave to my brother in law). What I like: You can either vacuum or steam clean or do both It is lightweight and easy to manoeuvre The handle is adjustable great for a home with people of different heights and for getting the kids involved. You need no chemicals The pads are washable and reusable It comes with a two year guarantee It warms up fast (within 30 seconds) so no long wait to start cleaning It costs under £100 It is space saving.  No need for a separate vacuum,...
