Marvellous March How Many Days Can You Pledge Not to Buy What You Know You Shouldn't?

Whatever your temption is join up... the next version of the 100 day challenge

Calling all 100 dayers!

If you found 100 days too long to stick to we have a new version of the challenge ready and waiting.

Try 31 days to start with or less if you wish!

Any change in behaviour and money spending is a good one and if this didn't strike a chord you wouldn't have looked here!

Can be anything you wish to not buy so for me it is the usual suspects of skincare, make up and QVC

Hi fedup,

Please add me to the list. I'd like to pledge not buying any unnecessary toiletries and magazines. I'll need lots of will power in duty free at the end of march!

Brilliant! A bite-sized 100 day challenge!

I have so many things I need to add to this that I just don't have the time to add them in here at the minute. Needless to say, *puts on best Terminator voice* I'll be back!

fedupandskint · 28 February 2010 at 1:59PM

Of course you can psycho! Too late now as I've added you to the list!

I think I'll add the CC to my list too and aim not to use that for 31 days
