    hi may i joint too? i will pledge not to buy any haircare, skincare or cosmetics until christmas! (to be honest, i could probably last for the next 200 days without buying any of those, but that would just be too hard.)

    p.s. Oh I meant to say i'm going to join all you chocoholics and give up chocolate at the same time. I actually managed this for 4 months, but caved one day. Actually, when i think about it, since i've started eating chocolate again, i've been more inclined to eat other crap foods (i.e. take-aways etc). EVIL CHOCOLATE....

    I've just given up chocolate this week. Every time I bought a nice bar of chocolate to 'last me the week' it lasted me a day!

    But I'm not giving up for 100 days because, ladies and gentlemen, there are only 98 days until Christmas :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

    Not sure name of magazine, the one with 'Snip and Save'vouchers inside can work out free if you take vouchers to somewhere like Asda where they'll give money-off if they stock the items.
  • Joining in a few days late, so it takes me to boxing day I think. I'm not going to buy coffee, this includes coffee for the house. This does seem to be my biggest and most selfish consumable item that I buy.

  • Hi everyone :wave:

    I love this thread and the fact that lots of people are joining in. Its day 4 for me now of not buying clothes or magazines and I haven't succombed so far :grin: I am determined to stick to this as I have lots of lovely clothes that I am currently too chubby to get into so I am hoping this will act as inspiration to finally shift some weight too.

    Have a good day everyone.

  • OMG have just seen this thread and worked out that until Xmas I will spend 60 quid on magazines and papers that I can read online anyway. So am definitely giving them up! Good luck everyone!
    Sadly, you don't have any badges yet but keep trying! See what you could get........... oh boo hoo I am crying into my wine. :D
  • Did anyone else see that the Body Shop has just brought out a new range of mineral make-up? It looks really nice............but I must not give in. I already have the mineral foundation from l'Oreal anyway so I really don't need another one.
