    Exterminate - scrolling through facebook which is such a time waster. Use the time wasted to declutter my house which seems to be gaining clutter by the day and do more exercise.
    Food banks - noticed so many local collection point sprung up so will contribute there.
    Going to look seriously at my debts as having to increase them this month - due to house problems. Will get back with figures and good intentions shortly.
    Got 2 days off this week so will aim for 31 items by Friday.

    Love the challenge apple x

    Toni'sfriend could you do it when you are back or before you go? Giving to food banks is my favourite way of giving because I know how helpful they are to those in real need.

    That's certainly an option. I'm wondering if, when I get there, maybe the local church or a local charity might be doing something.
    Have adventures. laugh a lot and always be kind.

    DFD - adding more to what your smalls will take in is a great idea. Feel free to Revise!

    Toni'sfriend - any donations at any time are good. So if you can't do it before you go away, or whilst away, then jus do it once you are home.

    Last month (November) I took F4ceb00k off my phone, I don't miss it at all. I have only looked at it every 3 or 4 days. on my laptop I will exterminate it completely for the first 10 days of December.

    Remember the kids' school has a food bank collection basket in their reception area.

    Exterminate - also a certain game on my phone

    Remember - local supermarket are doing a collection point for a food bank so will add some items to that next time I'm there. The local radio station are also doing a thing where you donate a Christmas present for a child so will do that too.

    Exterminate - not going to turn tv or tablet on till 9pm or 2 hrs at the weekend! Waste so much time watching rubbish while talking about all the stuff that needs done. Now I'll just get it done rather than washing dishes at midnight! Really need to start with the washing mountain.


    Remember - while put something in the food bank bin whilst doing the shopping so that one is easy.

    Exterminate - I can't think of anything for this. I don't do Facebook, Twitter, Instagram or anything like that and never have, I've never played a computer game in my life, I don't watch lots of tv either. I do enjoy reading but I don't spend hours a day doing it so I just can't think of any one thing that saps my time that I can give up.
