  • Hiya magni, thanks for running the challenge again....

    I'm definately going for no buying of cosmetics/beauty products/toiletries and cleaning products unless I have totally run out.... plus I think I am going for no buying lunch/dinner at work.... for breakfast I normally have toast so that I will allow, but lunch costs loads so I will not be buying lunches or dinners at work - scary! This will definately help me stop being lazy!

    Sx

    EDIT - I'd better just quickly add no buying anything from QVC, esp as Lulu Guinness is on as a TSV tonight!:eek::D:p

    Hi Sarah and Fedup,

    Really glad you like the idea - I think that I need to break bad habits but also need to create good habits and this is one way of doing it. Look forward to seeing your progress.

    I'd like to join again please.

    Did really well in the last challenge, although I didn't post much :o:o
    No toiletries, make-up, skincare for me unless it's something I don't have in my stash
    My pile of toiletries has hardly a dent in it from the last challenge so many more pampering nights for me I think
