Sorted

To paraphrase the incredibly irritating (and to my mind patronising) current Tesco advert, that's my toiletries 'sorted' for the coming months.

As I bought them bit by bit at the boot sales, I'd been stacking them precariously up and up on the edges of some shelves in the built-in wardrobe.  But every time I opened the doors to find something else, bottles and tubes kept cascading down so I thought it was time to take them out, take stock, and then store them away somewhere less troublesome. 

 
I'm certainly well stocked with shower gel of all different makes and scents.  Most of these bottles cost between 20p and 60p and all of them (with the exception of a pack of five mini shower gels from M&S) were boot sale buys over the past few months.  I suspect that ounce for ounce I could buy shower gel cheaper in the 99p shop but I like nice toiletries and buying them at boot sales is a lovely, and cheap, way to indulge myself.

 
There is also a small stock of body butter, body lotion, moisturiser and hand cream - although I do have more bits and pieces that are already in use in the bathroom - and these should see me through most of the winter.  The only thing I'm not so well stocked with is shampoo - although there the 99p shop can help as they sell some really good quality hair-care brands.

Elizabeth, it must be like every little girl's dream- a very sophisticated shop!

All these toiletries look so attractive, you're going to love using them.

I love doing the same thing - stocking up on nice brands of smellies for winter use. Gives me something to look forward to in winter when my skin is sore and chapped from the biting winds we get round here.

You got a fabulous selection in store.
