100 day challenge take 3

I silently followed the last 100 day challenge and now I've found the thread I would like to go public and join the new 100 day challenge.
I will forsake purchasing the following:-
- toiletries and cosmetics (I have so much to get through anyway);
- new clothes (I have so many anyway);
- handbags (I have so many anyway...anyone starting to notice a pattern?);
- cards (I make my own sometimes so hopefully this will translate to always).
Surely that's enough?
Good luck to everyone (and I think I'll need it as well)I wanna be Mortgage Free by February 20130 -

Distracted from watching and not watched from 2pm onwards!

Well done fedupandskint :T:T
7 days successfully completed here and already this challenge is helping in lots of ways. I had a quick look at the Boots thread earlier and whilst a couple of months ago I'd been getting excited that I could potentially get 3 products practically free I'm now thinking that I don't usually buy any of these products or any similar to them so why would I need them now just because they're a *bargain* ?! :rolleyes:.
So here's to week 2 - fingers crossed for a good week all round.Initial Mortgage January 2024 - £160,000

Good start to this challenge. Having no money coming in to replace anything I spend is very motivating:eek::rotfl:26.2.19/14.1.19: T MC 3629.26/3629.26 : VM 0% 1050/13876.59 : W 0% 100/1485 = 4409.26/18990.85 =25.17%28.1.19/28.1.19 Hubs 0% £400/£2,977 =13.44%SPC 2019 #073

7 days down already??? That's nearly a TENTH of this challenge! :j WOW!
Am doing well, haven't bought anything from my list yet!
I have enough chocolate to last the challenge, the landlord of the pub I work in, feeds me bombay mix (for free), meaning I get my extra salt hit (and yes, I DO need it!), and my OH will buy me a magazine on a gossip-rich week!
This way, the challenge works for me. Last challenge, my OH bought me 3 magazines in the 100 days, and that was FINE! Each time I read it, I would think that there was no substance in it, and WHY did I want it so much? My spending habits have DEFINITELY changed since I started these challenges.
When it feels like it's tough going, just remember, you're doing well, and make sure you're feeling REALLY smug!Natwest CC - [STRIKE]£2545[/STRIKE] now £0 :j

Just seen an article on the Times website called "confessions of a beauty junkie"! Very apt in the circumstances.
