  • Need to stick my CC in the freezer... been spending on it again recently. Not too much but anything is bad. Completely lost the budget for january and december after getting paid early for January. Beans, toast and a lot of pasta for me I think. Am going out new years eve but going to try and not spend too much money, have a potential romance on the horizon and i think it's going to be difficult to not spend money when we go out.... i cant let him pay all the time!!

    think ive managed to stick to everything else more or less.... its just the cc that im struggling with at the moment.

    ill count how many days left later, well done everyone and welcome to the newbies!

    Have been good and not brought anything I do not need recently. Using up more samples. Have been going out for walks each day over Christmas, so getting my exercise.

    Not been to work so not had to take/buy lunch and I got a whole bunch of bath stuff for Chrimbo so don't have to worry about buying more stuff (yet I'm tempted by the Lush offer at the moment *help*)

  • welcome aboard everyone. I think we are halfway through this 100 days.

    Our official meeter and greeter will be along shortly to say hi and pop you all on the list to be fully signed up.

    Don't worry about it being halfway through. I joined just over a year ago and this challenge has helped me massively overcome and nasty spending habit on skincare and makeup.

    Whatever the vice that causes the worry, just pop it on the list and see how you get on. Afterall stopping ourselves once is better than none and more than once is great!

    Sometimes we have ups and downs but nothing is as bad as it was before I started this!

    Good luck everyone!

    I'm still on track. Have gained some smellies as Christmas pressies. Haven't got anything on the forbidden list but not doing quite so well with my positive resolutions.
