    Well done psycho!

    It feels good when we make a change and do it, even if it is the first time in a long time, or the first time ever - shows we can do it. Keep on going!

    Have just found out I'm going to need an op on my foot in the new year and will be laid up for a couple of weeks. That will be a test to resist buying any magazines to stop me getting bored!!

  • I did buy lunch at work yesterday but it was a huge salad for £3 that was absolutely amazing and very very healthy! I don't count it as a slip because I planned to get it as we had nothing in the house that I could take that isn't already set aside for Christmas! Keep up the good work everyone!

    Hello! Just stopping in :)

    I'm doing so-so :o I'm managing to bring my lunch to work most days, and am getting in some extra exercise every day (and have lost a few pounds as a result of probably both things :j)

    So I'm not taking lunch every single working day or getting an extra 15 mins every day - but I'm doing a whole lot better than I used to, all thanks to the challenge :)

    On the no buying random things I haven't purchased one thing :D have looked at pretty dresses in sales, "collectables" on ebay, bargains from the grabbit thread etc etc and not a penny has been spent :T

    Hope everyone else is getting on ok - Have a fab Christmas :xmassign:

    Have been using up some samples. Also have been walking to work, which takes half an hour. Finished my temp job for Christmas, but back there for 1 week in New Year, so will be trying to walk round park or to my sisters.

    Hoping everyone stays well and enjoy themselves over the Christmas.

    Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas. :xmassmile

  • A small step backwards for me.... I got a few smellies for Christmas, so have more to use up! All are lovely though and didn't cost me any money :D

    Hope you all had a good Christmas....

    A few steps forward for me! Gave quite a lot away in gift hampers this year including full size moisturiser and serum to mum and hair products too.

    Have cleared out some space and got a latge bubble bath in return and a useless set of body shop travel size products when I already have a lot in this size and I am not keen on their products. Can't wait until they are used up and gone!

    Used up wise - a Decleor Balm Essential

    Next to finish - Liz Earle Superskin Moisturiser and another large size moisturiser I have been using on my neck and chest.

    Onwards and upwards for the New Year!

    Will be tempted by the Decleor TSV on Sat esp if has a supersize handcream in
