100 Day Challenge

magni

Another good day for me. I only went to the shops for some bread. I still haven't been near a chemist which is making the challenge relatively easy at the moment. I'm working all weekend so I'll be away from temptation for another 2 days:j

Poorandindenial if you think a new suit will increase your chances of getting the job then go for it. It will be totally worth it if you get the job. Good luck:D

Have totally got to join this challenge. Have enough make up, and toiletries to last me a year and yet I still buy more:p

So I will not buy any more until after Xmas.

I am also going to add in no more buying -

- shoes
- clothes (other than the party dress for my works night out)
- chocolate (so I can fit into a smaller party dress )
- toys for my son as he has tonnes of stuff and it will be xmas soon
- magazines
- coffee shop coffees and snacks
- take away food.

I don't buy these things all the time but even cutting out what I would have bought should save me loads.

right now I shall go and sort out my make up and clothes (have a few things that need repairing instead of throwing out and buying new).

Hi all
Glad to see you are all doing so well - I have resisted temptation to buy anything so far this week although have surfed on eBay - window shopping - honest!! Also have looked at tempting clothes catalogues sent through the mail/email for online sales - but have hardened my heart & deleted the emails, or put catalogues in paper bin. I have a fancy function to go to in early Oct but have a dress I can wear that I wore before (different people at this one) plus sparkly shoes I already have, Just need to trawl massive wardrobe stocks for a suitable jacket/coat.

Now need to list some clothes stuff on eBay - have done that already with some toys that have been the spare room for years - they came along with something I bought at auction. Not in great condition, but already they are at £200+. Only danger then is that I think I can 'spend' this cash on more eBay stuff......have to be strong.

Will now go & make some 'bounty bites' instead of buying chocolate - it's cooking - right???

Morning All - was really craving crisps yesterday but thought of the challenge and didn't give in. Only another 96 days to go! If I keep going then by then I probably won't want crisps anyway.

Day 4 has passed with no cosmetic splurges:j I also managed the NSD I was hoping for:beer:

Well done to dfw844 for resisting the 342 at that well known chemist. That is a major achievement in itself:beer:

It's so great to know that there are so many other cosmetic junkies out there. I'm not a freak, it's perfectly normal to own so many cosmetics:rotfl:

Thanks Magni, you certainly aren't alone! I had to go to that chemist again today (wanted a new umbrella and had vouchers), it was so hard, but I resisted again! And they put all the lovely offers right by the till, and the queues were so long. Thanks for this challenge, it's keeping me strong!

Hey girls (and guys!)
I am doing well, I use up some of my shaving foam this morning and went straight to the next one that I had brought months ago! We went thru town today and I didn't buy anything. I didn't even go to Boots. x

i have just become an avon lady to be debt-free so dont make everyone stop buying its really good value with no parking or bus fare to include and helps breast cancer charity more than any other company

Being an avon rep is a balancing act,as you have to know you have enough commision to cover the cost of your brochures. Have to admit though I do recommend their anew eye cream (the white/orange one) Not the (green/white combination).

great idea for a challenge. I could do this for 5 years and still be left with stuff. Im TERRIBLE for spending money on these items!!
