    Cherie, are you SERIOUSLY going to give up chocolate for 100 days? *hyperventilation noises*

    That girl has got will power!

    Just noticed I'll soon need new concealer! It's all I use on my skin (around the eyes) I'm going to have to ration it. Or ask my boyfriend to buy me some if I buy him something of equal value.. no no that's cheating. I'm going to put it in my sig!

    I like this one! I won't buy any chocolate for 100 days. That will help my purse and my waistline

    (believe me this isn't any easy one for me)

    Cherie, i think i will join you on this one and won't buy any chocolate for 100 days. I recently did the giving up chocolate challenge and since then have cut down on eating chocolate considerably. So here's hoping i can go without buying it for 100 days, however if someone buys me it/i get it free, then thats a different matter:rotfl:

  • I'm going to give up BUYING chocolate for 100 days. If any of it comes my way and I haven't had to pay for it then that's different (isn't it?)

    :rolleyes:

    I'll join in by not buying magazines too. I look at the covers, think they look interesting, buy them, bring them home and then ignore them. So I might as well not buy them in the first place :-)

    I didn't buy either a magazine or chocolate today. :A

    Such bravery in the name of moneysaving! :eek:Wish I had your willpower. :rotfl:

    Actually, I think I'll add to the challenge: I won't buy any makeup OR bread, cakes or biscuits till Xmas (which means I'll have to learn to bake :rolleyes: - the biscuits I mean, not the cosmetics!).

    That's my problem, and buy the time I read them the news is old and I've already read it online anyways!

    I was trifling with the idea of no chocolate, but in our office we all take it in turns to bring in a box of chocs, and I don't think fruit would go down too well.

    I would like to join in and pledge not to spend any money on magazines and Starbucks... Hopefully I'll be able to celebrate with a HUGE hazelnut hot chocolate on Christmas Eve!
