  • Can i join in too!

    I would like to buy no new clothes during this period and to take up a hobby.

    I would also like to use my 2 nights off a week to spend more quality time with O/H instead of us both vegging in front of the tv/on laptop/xbox.

    Good luck to everyone whos already joined
  • Ok my first day on here and think it's a brilliant idea so for the next 100 days I propose:
    *buy no magazines/books
    *buy no new toiletaries/cosmetics unless replacing products that have run out
    *taking lunch/snacks to work-not buying premade
    *walking to work, not driving at least 3 times a week (think this will be most difficult!)

    Good luck everyone!

    Hello All :wave:

    Can I join you? I'm doing my own wee mini challenge of taking lunch to work till Christmas as I'd been spending waaayyyy to much buying stuff on my way to work :o but it will fit in nicely with this 100 day challenge!

    I pledge to:

    *Make my own lunches for work
    *Do 15 mins of exercise a night in addition to my active time through the day (need to start myself off slowly)
    *No buying of random things on the internet, all the xmas pressies that I was going to buy online have been bought so I dont NEED anything else :)

    Think that will do me, it's not loads so will make me more likely to manage it all. Have managed all three today, so off to a good start!

  • Updated again.... I love the 'no buying random things on the internet' dbg, that is so me!:rotfl:

    Can I play again.

    Three things for me -

    1) Continue to use up all the toiletries that I have stocked up.
    2) 15 mins of exercise per day (no matter what!)
    3) 15 mins of decluttering every day!

    I have made a great progress on my toiletries and have got to the point where I know what my core products are but I have loads of things that I have bought over the years that I would like to use up. So I will use one thing extra outside of my routine every day.

    The exercise is something I am battling with so will keep it on there.

    I have also discovered flydlady and I am quite keen to declutter the flat so that OH has some space when he finally moves in!

    Here's to another successful 100 days.

    1) Not buy any perfume
    2) Not buy any lipstick

    urg and karom both added.

    karom, don't worry if your morale does drop a bit, there are lots of very supportive people here :D

  • Can I join in again please? Signed up for this challenge last time and although I didn't post much it really made me think and saved me a fortune! So this time round I pledge:
    1) Not to buy any books and magazines (have asked for a magazine subscrption for Xmas so should help curb this one!)
    2) To take food to work rather than buy.
    3) Not to buy any cosmetics or toiletries until necessary (I currently have 12 bottles of 2 in 1 shampoo/conditioner in the cupboard - but it was 6 bottles for a quid!!)

    Oh and I will try to post more regularly!

    Savings: £0 / £9500
  • You're in, and I've put about posting in the first post, so now you have to :D
