100 Day Challenge

  • Well I have till Boxing day for my 100 days to be up. Mine was to not BUY coffee. In that time I bought bogof of decaf whilst on holiday, but that was more for the jar than the coffee (when i get pics of phone will show you why) and have bought two cups of coffee in that time. Still think I have done fairly well.
    On first of jan I am going to do another 100days, but this time NO Take-outs/meals outs. Have noticed I seem to be spending alot on these laterly so really need to cut back, and what better way.
    Anyhow, congrats to everyone that has completed their 100 days wether with full success or the odd slight slip like myself.

    Today is the last day for me too! I gave up magazines and kept to the challenge until last week, when I bought Heat for a very long train journey. So I guess I failed the challenge but I have saved a lot of money. Hope everyone else had better luck! x

    One magazine out of 100 days is not a failure, that is fantastic, so congratulations to you:T:T. Like you said you saved lots of money and no doubt it has changed your way of thinking regarding magazines, so its a definite success, well done:D

    Will it be on this thread or on a new thread. Think i already know what my 100 day challenge is going to be, although i have just this second thought of another good one. I may do one where i won't throw away any food for 100 days. I am terrible at doing this, as in i buy food and then don't fancy it so leave it to go off:o Could save me a fair bit if i'm up for the challenge!!
