    I have a question:

    I had planned not to pay for chocolate however, do you think it is ok to eat it if others have paid (i.e. there are some eggs at work)?

    Absolutely!!!

    This challenge is about NOT BUYING... it's not about not EATING! :D

    However, it is up to your own interpretation. Enjoy (or not - depending on your decision!) :D

    hi there, I am an ardent fan of MSE but have been a 'lurker' for the last year approximately. I would like to join the 100 day challenge

    I will try to give up buying

    clothes
    magazines (read them online for free)

    Toiletries, although I do use up what I have before buying new stuff

    glad to be part of the MSE network

    Day 3 was a success here, :T

    Nothing else used up yet - but I did spot that the Avon catalogue had come whilst I was out yesterday and OH has tucked it away by the front door so I won't be tempted bless him!

    Lovely to see lots of other new people on this thread - keep up the good work guys :A
