    After my choccie blowout the other day I havent touched any

    I did however buy DD some clothes but most of the money came from vouchers so in reality was a bargain not to be missed.

    Havent bought any magazines though

  • Hi all, can I join you? I'm a bit late for the 100 days, but 86 days will take me to Christmas (:eek: )

    I don't buy much alcohol anyway, but I generally don't eat sweets or buy magazines or clothes so this is really the only thing I can think to give up! :rolleyes:

    My challenge is to not buy alcohol until Christmas day :D where I will very much enjoy a glass of wine with my dinner :D

    Here goes :)

    :D So far I haven't fallen off the wagon, but I start Uni again next week which means boring 1hr bus journeys where a mag would be great company!

    What about reading a textbook?:confused: Or a library book if you don't want to look like a nerd? :D

    Lol, unfortunately not!! I'm currently on a health kick (trying to lose weight) so don't smoke, don't buy chocs etc (not really 'into' them anyway, prefer savory) rarely eat crisps, junk food etc.

    I'm not a normal woman lol, I hate clothes shopping, don't buy shoes, rarely buy magazines or cds etc. :rolleyes:

    In fact I think I rarely treat myself to anything!!:eek: The only thing I would struggle with is cups of tea, but I don't see why I should give that up :o I like my tea and it's not harming me is it?...
    ...well I suppose the caffine is bad...

    Oh no, I think I'm going to give up tea too. *gulp*

    Okay, I'm going to slightly amend my challenge...I am going to give up drinking anything but water until Christmas!! _pale_ OMG now I feel faint!

  • Back from my break, tea has been avoided. Couldn't even have water as the plastic cups had run out :rolleyes:
