    Going well - actually enjoying salads for lunch at work, just wish the weather would become more summery and I would enjoy them even more!!

    Felt very tempted by the Alpha H TSV today on money grabbin c today.

    To control my cravings I need to stop looking at the website and what is coming up in the next few weeks. When I know what is coming up I can't stop myself watching and seeing what is in the kits and the 'bargainous' price.

    This happened with the Smashbox TSV last week. At least I didn't gave in today and managed to say to myself, 'Don't buy it you sold the last few things on ebay because you didn't like it' Thankfully I listened to myself this time.

    Keep on trying to maintain the changes - how hard is this to maintain the change? The change itself is an easier step for me, maintaining it I find harder work.

    One day at a time, one more day under my belt each as it comes 36 days in today. 64 days to go, feels like it is going very slowly this time. Perhaps need to stop focusing so much and let it go with the flow to let the time flow past

    Decided to leave the packet of face wipes to one side and start using the cleanser and toner and then I'll have a wipe if I need one - as my signature says I do have an alternative so don't need any more wipes :A

    Had a bath and used a mini bottle of bubble bath and finished up a mini pot of Soap and Glory body scrub which I now love - fortunately I have 2 more of these ;)

    I'm going shopping tomorrow so first big test for a while :o

    Went into a big boots today and came out with nothing :T

    Wanted a metal cuticle stick thing and ended up finding one in superdrug, nice and cheap and again only bought that - don't have one already so still keeping up with the challenge.

    Feel really sad posting 3 consecutive posts but need to keep track and on top of my challenge :o

    Another facecream sachet finished up yesterday - not many left now :T

    Today I used up a bottle of shampoo and a S+G Hair Supply tube that had been in the shower for a while as the conditioner ran out the other day. On to the bottles I used on holiday now as I took fresh ones. Would normally be scouring for new shampoo now with only 1 other bottle in reverse but will stay strong until these ones are finished :rolleyes:

    Hope everyone else is getting on ok

    Another couple of empties to add to the list

    Laura Gellar Spackle Under Make up Primer
    YBF Mascara

    On my last mascara now, no more stocks for the first time in about 2yrs or more I think!

    Still using up steadily, have got out of the face mask and exfoliator habit and will restart this to use the tubes up or they will never go!

    A space NK body wash used up this morning that my brother got me for my birthday :D now onto a part used Radox which has been in the corner of the shower for ages :rolleyes:

    But the good bit is Ikea have finally started stocking a smaller dressing table that matches all our other bedroom furniture and so I splashed out :o but will hopefully make it easier for me to use all my products and make things neater too :p

    Still not bought anything, walked past the Boots by Ikea today :T:T

    Another consecutive post :o

    Last night I used up 4 sachets of moisturiser on my feet which I've been neglecting :o and put on an old pair of socks over the top - will keep this up each evening and hopefully it'll get better - and will use up plenty of the slightly dodgy moisturiser I have too :o

    Then this morning used up the final sachet of moisturiser and had a bath this evening so another mini bottle of bubble bath and a tube of face mask (after I cut the top off as none would come out the end but I knew there was some left in it) gone :T

    Feet are the best place for all the dodgy moisturiser aren't they Yorkielass. I must confess to doing the same as you with the minging stuff!

    Have had a kind of half miss today... I say half because it wasn't actually my fault! OH did an online shopping order that arrived this morning, with a box of washing powder, two bottle of fab con, two anti-bac surface sprays, a bottle of bleach, two deodorants and 8.. yes I said 8! Radox shower gels! When I asked him wh he'd ordered so much, he said 'well we have the discount' (our staff discount went to 20% for 3 days) 'and I thought your cupboard looked a bit bare, I know you like to keep some in reserve...' Bless him! Thankfully they were all on offer bar the bleach (basics anyway :) ) but I did then explain the 100 day challenge to him! So back to square one with the shower gel and household products! :o

    Never mind Sarah, you can blame it on your OH if you want!

    A night time lip balm used up now, see what else there is over the next week. Hang in there everyone. I've managed to stop watching QVC quite so much over the last week and as a result I feel I am regaining some control again over this habit.

    When I do put it on it is only for a few minutes and I am more objective and realise exactly what they are doing, persuading us to spend our money on things we can't possible live without.
