  • I'd like to join in please as I have a very bad month looming in June.

    So my personal challenges will be:
    No clothes (and intend to sell some on Ebay)
    No books
    No magazines
    No cosmetics or perfume

    I know this challenge started on Monday but as Monday and Tuesday were NSDs I hope I can count them as 2 of the 100 days

    Morning all

    Yesterday was a success - 2 days down and 98 to go.

    As an exercise I went through cupboards and made a list of all the toiletries that I have - and I would encourage everyone to do the same. Amongst other things I found 7 - yep 7 bottles of buble bath (why - I tend to have showers rather than baths I can only apportion blame to the fact that they have been tidied away in cupboards and those pesky 2 for £2 deals ...........).

    I also had a number of lovely molton brown bath / shower gels - all in travel size bottles which I find very frustrating to use. So I spent time yesterday decanting them into empty pump bottles.

    Still appalled with myself - think that I need to do some self help therapy to get over my addiction for shopping.

    Sorry to rant - someone had to shout at me!
