I did buy a book the other day...which was ok

But I failed on the magazine challenge.....BBC good food:rolleyes: I know all the recipes are online so why do i buy it?

But that is the first since we started so not too bad

When you've finished with the magazine, can you pass it on to me please?

Well I nearly caved in last night with the SBC TSV on QVC.

I got as far as picking the phone up and pressing the call button. It was only the thought of the forum/challenge that stopped me. I thought of this and then of all the stuff I have and managed to stop myself. It was close tho' not putting straight on the CC as I would have done before. It was my biggest challenge of all and the closest.

I did not cave in!!!!

Don't know why anyone would buy it ....... but I used to, nearly every month! Hardly ever used to make anything, just liked looking at the pics and drooling.:rotfl:

Not any more though!!

Hi,

well I have been doing pretty well, have used up 3 of my cheapy showergels, although used most of one to fill up the handwash doofrey (what the heck its pretty much the same stuff!!) used up a conditioner and 2 facecreams! (creams wasnt on the list but hey!)

I did have one blip last week where I bought my daughters a bag of chips to share (£1.80) my excuse is I am disabled and had a really cr**py day and couldn't be bothered to cook lol.

Apart from that its not going to bad!

I was tempted by the 50p book shelf again today - didn't give in but am still thinking about those books there that I want

On a plus note, the two books I want from the book man I've 'borrowed' for the weekend'

Well done:j I don't even know what TSV stands for but well done for resisting.

I almost bought some more stuff from the States again. It was cosmetic brushes (they're not technically on my list though) and they are so cheap and such good quality. I already have some and "need" to get a few more. I had them in my basket and even went to the checkout before I changed my mind:A

Stay strong. I do this too when I want something and think about it a lot until I give in and buy it then I wonder why I wanted it so much in the first place:rolleyes: Try some distraction therapy by looking through the books you already have;) Well done for borrowing the others:T

:j Yay FedUp! Well done for resisting... it is hard sometimes..... ok, a lot!

Magni, TSV is Todays Special Value.... its QVC's 'bargain' of the day, new one every day at midnight.

Thanks Magni and Sarah for your support. The craving has passed now and I am pleased that I did not cave in.

The next test will be the Bare Escentuals TSV which I always buy and I have tons of the stuff! :rolleyes:

In fact I probably would never need to buy any more make up (bar mascara) for a year with foundation and then 3 years for everything else!

I really need to stop looking at the TV guide to see what it coming up to avoid the temptation in the first place.

My own personal battle with QVC continues......plus I have unsubscribed from the email updates ages ago. They still send them to me :mad: I marked them as spam and now they go straight into my spam folder and I empty it straight away :rotfl:

Deep breath now...I will not cave in!!!!
