Here we go again

Do any of you remember the original 100 day challenge set up by the delightful magni?

Well we had a lot of members who pledged to give up what ever they knew they shouldn't be buying. Many of us stockpiled shower gels, cosmetics, skincare you name it we had it over flowing out of every cupboard and drawer. There we were tempted by every offer going in every outlet.

Well I addressed my endless stockpiling and this year finally got to the point where I needed to buy some shampoo because I was about to run out for the first time in years

But some elements have crept back in......and the ongoing 31 days or more challenge is not keeping me as focused as I would like. So here I go with a pledge to not buy ......... for 100 days starting 17 Jan until 27 April 2011

Anyone else like to join in - especially members of the 31 days or more thread

    Ooh count me in, my toiletry pile is slowing going down but I still have loads.

    I pledge to not buy any toiletries unless I have completely run out. Also no clothes buying (this will help with my clothes challenge too).

    I'm in too.... the last 100 challenges really helped me bring my toiletries down, but they've started to build up again, plus I've had the usual Christmas injection!!

    Can i join in? We indulged a bit too much over xmas so we've decided no more take aways, will be quite a challenge for us as we usually have one or 2 a month but we've decided that any money we would normally spend on getting a take away i'm putting towards paying our debt off. Also no more magazines! When i'm bored i tend to get all the cheap goss mags only to flick through them and let them pile up for no reason. The only mag i'll be buying is the next weight watchers one (me and my mum take turns to buy it and tis my turn next).

    No take aways
    No magazines
