psychopathbabble

Welcome to all the newbies!

Day 55 today, just 45 to go.

I'm doing ok all except the credit card one. Luckily I get loads of magazines left at work so I can get get my fix that way. Still using up some toiletries but don't have that many, it's mostly just little bottles of body lotion etc. Finished a travel sized conditioner the other day, but had to buy new one (so got a shampoo free).

Keep up the good work!!

Hi everybody Happy New Year
Quick update on my 100 day challenge.
I am good not to buy any perfume/ lipstick and book and last week finally manage 20 miles cycling

*Jellie*

I'm still doing well on the challenge. However I've also found that since giving up magazines in the last couple of challenges I have only bought 1 so far this challenge....even though I'm now 'allowed' to buy them!! I'd quite often spend £20 a month on them before!

Well, to report in, i've managed the minor milestone of an alcohol-free week - although i'm not a heavy drinker, i'm a habitual one (a couple of glasses of red a night is the norm) and, apart from a week with 'flu, I probably can't claim a week without alcohol since I was a teenager. It's nagged at me a couple of times, which is worrying enough itself to be an encouragement. So now to press on until the end of the month and beyond

Avoiding the vending machines has been easy, with the snow i've only made it into the office once this week... but they've upped the prices again, so another incentive to avoid them

Disgruntled goat, I'm having a booze free January as well - we can do it! Can't deny that I keep thinking that a nice glass of red wine would warm me up a treat but am trying to ignore the bottle in the kitchen.

Nearly slipped today and bought a magazine, actually had it in my basket in the supermarket when I remembered the challenge!

Hello and happy new year everyone! Sorry for my absence, I have mostly stayed on the straight and narrow, have bought food at work twice though. Quite cross as one was only a mince pie and it was horrid! I had made my own the week before and they were way nicer! Still walking to work though, snow or no snow!

Well done everyone x

Hi folks

I've discovered this thread a bit late but would love to join in to get my spending habits under control. So here goes-

1. No toiletries until ALL potions and lotions have been used up.
2. Ditto for makeup
3. No magazines
4. No visits to the vending machine at work.

Keep up the good work everyone :T

Hello

I'd like to join.

1.No more £2.50+ Soya Lattes
2.Finish ALL potions and lotions before buying more.(I am a Lush junkie:eek:)

So far not doing too bad. Went to Canary Wharf today and walked head down past every coffee shop:rotfl::rotfl:

Will find it hard when Lush bring out new products. I'll have to remind myself how much money I'm saving.:j
