100 Day Challenge Take 4

  • Hello everyone! According to my calculations, yesterday was Day 100! I've not been posting on here much but I have been keeping up with the challenge. In the end I managed 95 days out of 100 which isn't too bad at all I don't think. I slipped up with:

    - A 99p face pack one day when I forgot I was on the challenge
    - A book about sewing for my new sewing class
    - A magazine one day when I needed change for the parking meter
    - A No. 7 eyeshadow when the £5 off vouvher was burning a hole in my pocket, and
    - The Leon cookery book, which I found for half RRP in TK Maxx one day and could not leave behind!

    I haven't got an awful lot used up really as I don't stockpile that many toiletries, but I haven't had any Pringles which has surely helped with the diet, I haven't been and blown £10 at a time on charity shop boks, and I've managed to sort through and recycle all my old magazines :)

    How did everyone else do?

    :j We have successfully reached the end of 100 days -well done everyone! :j

    I have had some slips ups with buying showergel and skincare mainly due to a couple of emotional situations which I found difficult to cope with and bought some things to cheer myself up.

    Challenge Aims
    • Committing to decluttering my spare stash listing at least once a week - it's all sold and gone for now!!!!!!
    • Get make up into one bag not three, - in 2 now and brushes in 1
    • Continue taking lunch for work everyday - is done for the majority of the challenge - not an issue anymore
    • Pay off DP Card with stash sales profit in next 100 days - paid off with a NI refund!
    • Exercise - dog walking twice a day and have started taking him on longer walks now. Started exercising yesterday for the first time in a long time and enjoyed it!
    :D Overall a good challenge for me this time even with the slip ups :D

    Looking forward to the next one

    Hi everyone,

    Last day today:beer: I've used up quite a few items and have a few more on the verge of being finished:j

    I'm going to step away from starting the next challenge. I think after 3 100 day challenges I need a fresh approach and to be honest I am losing interest in this challnge now. I think someone else will be able to do it justice;) Swinstie had some great fresh ideas for the next challenge which she messaged to me.

    If anyone is interested in starting the next challenge perhaps they could post on here and get some feedback from everyone. I'll probably join in the next one anyway as it is my baby but I do think we need a fresh approach.

    Hey Magni, you are the challenge queen!

    I would've started the new one, but got loads going on just now. It would be sad to give up your baby.

    I have so much stuff still to use up, looking forward to whatever new ideas are posted x
  • hi
