    Morning all

    Day 4 went well for me - I am loving the idea that I am clearing space by using up existing stock.

    Three days without spending any money or buying any toiletries, but when I checked my cupboard last night I am running out of toothpaste and shaving foam - gonna have to give in or risk being a hairy chick with bad breath! Will buy some today then should be good for the rest of the time!
  • I have a confession, I went into Boots yesterday with the intention of buying an Urban Decay eye-shadow Primer. I was not going to spend proper money on it, I was going to buy it with my points, but thankfully they did not have any in stock. I did, however, pick up several pots of their gorgeous eyeshadows and stroked and carressed them for a lengthy period, but I found the strength from somewhere to put them back on the display and walk out.

    Well done for putting them back!! That must have been so hard. I know because I've been there ;)

  • Okay, so today I have not bought from Tesco:

    1 x pair of kickflare jeans @ £7.50
    1 x pair of slouch jeans @ £10.00
    some gradual fake tan moisturiser stuff @ £5

    I tried both pairs of jeans on, and it killed me just to leave them there - killed me I tell you. Then I came home and remembered that it's not clothes I am giving up for 100 days.....it's magazines and make-up! It's the £70 clothing for a year challenge I got mixed up with and I could have got both pairs and still had £52.50 left over!!!!!!! DUH!
