    DFW844 - If you need it then you shouldn't feel guilty! I'm running low on moisturizer and I need it otherwise my skin goes all blotchy, painful and dry after afew days. So I wont think twice about picking some up on friday (will go for the cheapest)

    Cleaning all my makeup brushes when I get home so I can start using them again to hopefully use less cover up. I haven't used them since I last cleaned them but they've been hanging around for afew weeks now.
  • Hi everyone :wave:

    We all seem to be doing well, I am pleased I haven't bought any clothes since starting the challenge. I find going to Sainsburys really hard as they have some lovely clothes for work but I have resisted so far. I also haven't bought any magazines either - although I did have to have a crafty read of one in the newsagents when I saw the headline "Brad and Ange on the rocks". My bf was at the counter buying his own magazine so I didn't feel too guilty :p

    Keep it up everyone,

    Percy

    Supermarkets are sneaky in where they put their clothes. Nearly always at the front of the shop. I normally have to sprint down that aisle holding tight to my basket trying not to knock any small unsuspecting children on the head. The worst aisle goes; dvds, magazines, books, then clothes.

    I haven't sworn myself off buying clothes but while i'm stopping magazines chocolate and makeup i'm trying to stop getting clothes too.
  • I feel so bad - I've fallen off the crisp wagon - and given in to temptation and just bought and eaten a bag of S&V crisps. I feel like I've let everyone down and also myself - big time.

    I also bought a bar of choccy at the same time and do not want to start falling back into my bad habits of spending small amounts here and there.

    BACK ON TRACK NOW...

    Doing okay so far, have so many half finished pots and bottles it's ridiculous (and embarrassing :o) Finished off two this morning, shampoo and conditioner, should finish off a moisturiser in the next day or so!

    Doesn't it feel great though to be throwing out empty bottles. It could become my new addiction:rotfl: I've used up a bottle of conditioner, a lip balm and am nearly finished an eye make up remover and a tube of P&P serum:T

    Don't be too hard on yourself Mrs P. One slip in over a week isn't too bad;)

  • Magni - thanks for your support and understanding! Believe me the taste of those crisps just wasn't worth it. I'm back on track now.

  • Oh my goodness I am so proud of myself......

    As all you magazinaholics know, its "Magazine Day" today. I had to go into town to post a couple of eBay items and *drumroll* DID NOT BUY ANY - for the first time since I can remember!! :j It hurt, it really did, but I was able to soften the blow by nipping into Boots and getting the free magazine of theirs (I know, nowhere near the same as gossip and soaps, but oh well ;))

    At least it was only one bag Mrs Porridge and the important thing is that you are now back on track.
