Hiya
It's been a long time since I was here (as you'll see from my totally out of date sig) but I intend to start the new year with some major debt busting so I'll join this challenge to begin with! I vow not to buy any magazines in shops (am subscribed to a couple so they don't count) :money:GOD BLESS DURAN DURAN

Count me in too please.
I aim not to buy any of the following
1) chocolate for myself (wow, 100 days is a long time with no chocolate)
2) shampoo or conditioner ( I have bottles of the stuff but just keep buying them)
Hopefully I will be able to keep to it as I don't want to be the only one to fail.:cool:0 -

1. Skincare, makeup or haircare

Hi, count me in!
I'm doing the challenge already and this is my 31st day of NOT buying cosmetics. skincare, beauty products or anything from shopping TV. I will only buy something if I run out eg deoderant or toothpaste and mouthwash and I am keeping a list to see how much I spend on things I run out of.
At one point I was spending up to £200 a week on QVC beauty products not thinking what this cost on a CC and they are just stacked up in my home :eek: In the last 31 days I have only spent £1.67 on a deoderant!:j
It was the only thing I ran out in the last 31 days and I feel so much better about things now.:D
This challenge has helped me change my ways more than anything at all and thanks to Magni for the original one I stumbled across :A
I would like to extend my run to the same time as you guys as I feel I can do it now!final unsecured debt to repay currently £8333Proud to be Dealing With my DebtDFW Nerd 1154 Long Haul 1550 -

I am hoping someone will buy me a bag of crisps during the 100 days as I know I will have withdrawal symptoms:o£2 savers club 2025 #40
