    Hi, 12 days without buying chocolate. No problem.Still eating Christmas presents:D .Might be difficult by the weekend:rotfl:
    Haven't bought any magazines either,but my mum gave me some today.O.K. a couple of weeks old but better than nowt.Wonder if there are any MOCs in them!
    Decided not to buy anything else from Avon,as I do have plenty as I've been buying lots when things were on bogof.Now have enough handcream for 12 months:o

  • Be very afraid, I was hunting for stuff in the boxes that I have sitting in the corner from when I changed jobs a while back - there is a bottle in there too!!! Is there no end to it?

    Hopefully I should be ok for now.... have got some more de-cluttering to do soon, so you never know what will appear!

    Had a very close call today.... forgot to take my food to work (its still sat in the fridge in my lunch bag now!) BUT one of my lovely colleagues had made me a quiche (I love hm quiche but cannot make it at all!) so I had that for my lunch.... that also means my tea is made already :)

    No choccie and no toiletries either...... yay!

    :think: I boobed again. I bought a branch with mirrors and candle holders to put in my bedroom. Totally an impulse buy.

    Now I am trying to build the will power to take it back cos I know I would rather have the money.... besides it is a little too big for where I had wanted it to go.

    Will I ever learn? :confused:

    Oh well that's another £1 for my sealed pot plus the £15 I spent on my purchase will go in the sealed pot too. That'll teach me....I hope
    I don't get to come on here too often.
    Too buzy money saving!
    :D
  • Never mind reb, we all wobble from time to time.... if you take it back, you will have learned! At least you aren't gonna just shove it in the cupboard and forget about it like I would have done previously!

    Day 44 for me now without buying endless beauty sets from QVC :j :D :j I'm nearing the end of a 100ml double size Gatineau neck gel, I probably bought 18mths ago (3 left:o !). Also finished a L'Occitane body lotion today to be replaced by yet another one (another 3 left :o ). Nearly at the end of a deoderant, replaced by another one as soon as! Lastly used up a small Liz Earle toner (3x left :o ), replaced by a L'Occitane one this time then back to Liz Earle again next time.

    Can't believe how much I have accumulated :o I am v.v.v.pleased to be using things up and not adding to the collection:D :D:D:D:D

  • Still doing ok here!! and happy with myself for giving in to temptation - did another shop in tesco and even had to go near the toiltries and didnt give in!!! So did well...also no magazines.

    I have so much stuff as well, i havent even tried looking through it all yet as i no i will be shocked...i did find some shampoo from Avon the other day - its for coloured hair which i dont have so must of been a free be or something but ill use it up as im sure it cant do any harm on my not coloured hair!!! There is also a conditioner with it! I have so many straightening gel/cream etc etc aswell, so will be glad when some of that goes down!! I might actually have some room for other things and less clutter!!!

    Anyway hope your all doing well...

    Sarah tell me about it you are not alone with me and I am sure there are others who are the same!

    I am drowning in Decleor, L'Occitane, Gatineau, Liz Earle, Bare Escentuals, Smashbox, Ojon, Laura Geller, bit less left of Molton Brown and Elemis. Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear!!!

    Can't wait to use it all up and then restock at a better level than endless sets just waiting and being added to needlessly. Who invented these bloomin' shopping channels eh?? Making me think I need it all. It's only because of this challenge I have stopped buying and I do not intend to buy again for the remaining 55 days left and then will reassess after this time, but I don't think I will buy anything from shopping TV for the next 100 days after that :j :j :j :j No matter how much I am tempted by Alison Young and Northern Nights, I will not give in!!

  • Ooooh, Northern Nights! The only reason I don't have any is OH has a tendancy to dribble (TMI!) and spills stuff on the bed all the time - growing up, I wasn't allowed to eat in the bedroom, and it still doesn't feel right now!
    Totally get you about the 'need'..... do I really need a 100 piece Lock 'N' Lock storage set - OF COURSE I DO!!!:rotfl:
