  • Hiya again everyone, thanks magni for starting the new challenge off :A

    I am definately signing up again, and I am going for no toiletries/make-up, cleaning/laundry products, no QVC, no sneaky treats disquised as 'groceries' and no buying food at work (although coffees is allowed, as we take it in turns). Also declaring today my first success, and an NSD :D

    Good luck everyone :D

    My 100 day challenge is to not buy any cola. I've got a few bottles in but once they're gone thats it.
  • This is my first post !! I'm planning not to buy cakes & biscuits for 100 days - homemade instead.:j

    I've got 1 day of 'take 2' left but will sign up for this one now as I am going to use it to help my post natal health kick:p. I particularly need to kick my recently acquired chocolate habit... once the Easter choccies are gone there will be no more for a while!

    So. Please put me down for no chocolate, crisps or magazines not related to fitness... :eek:

    Last night I used up a freebie sachet of cleanser I found during my sort, the last of a tube of face mask (used the tip from the last thread and cut the end off to get the last out ;)) and used a bath bomb too so 3 more things gone.

    Then this morning used a sachet of shampoo, another freebie that was lying about which meant I can put off opening my next 'big' bottle of shampoo for another day.

    I know that as I go through the challenge and use up all the sachets and half used up bits and pieces then my list of finished things will get updated less quickly but it's certainly helping with the start of the challenge and with the decluttering aspect of this challenge too.

    - No toiletries, I've got a cupboard full of them.
    - No cross stitch kits, I've got five sitting in my draw that need to be finished.

    Cheers,

    I have a box where I put my free samples etc. I use a lot of clarins make up and they ar uber generaous with their sample. Suffice to say I could probably do three or four 100 day challenges before I ran out!!

    I have written a list of the contents and am aiming to work my way through the pile systematically - I am actually looking forward to enjoying the variety of different creams and potions that I have accumulated.

    Have fun everyone.
