).. was a bit tempted by the Gatineau TSV this morning for MiL's birthday, but have decided against it.... otherwise just slowly using stuff up

well done Sarah, I decided to avoid Gatineau and Quality Value and Conning today as not tempted in the slightest and decided not to lead myself into temptation by watching!
I think it is day 56 today too and I'm off to update the old siggyfinal unsecured debt to repay currently £8333Proud to be Dealing With my DebtDFW Nerd 1154 Long Haul 1550 -
Hi All,
Think it is Day 52 for me (just checked calendar, it's Day 55 for me) - started later! Just updated sig as well, need to do it again.
Not bought a thing for days now, can't even remember last time was in a shop! Once wash fizzog tonight, I will have used up a Neutrogena Wash/Mask, I have got a couple of cleansers but I really like this one so might use up others and only buy the Neutrogena one from now on.
Well done everyone else x0 -

Don't worry robbo, my list will look the same as yours and it is all summed up by what you said above.
Thank god for the challenge otherwise I would have to move out cos all the stuff would have taken over my house completely!
I still haven't written a list but it wouldn't be far off yours and I've been doing this since 1 Dec 08 :eek:

No blips this week and edging towards finishing more stuff off. Still get very tempted to buy toiletries because they're on offer, but must remember how good it'll be to empty my bathroom cupboard.0

Yep, I'm the same. In fact, the lists don't look that bad to me and I've been doing something along the lines of this challenge for ages, since January or so. Obviously I've had a few blips. I think that having a blip because you've got to use up those crazy Boots vouchers they give out, is better than buying everything new that comes out. Although, I've obviously done this a lot of times as I've got soooo much stuff. Might do the list tomorrow, if I'm feeling brave!0
