Quite often it really is random stuff! I'll be sitting at work on my lunch, browse ebay and find some really obscure thing that I fall in love with and HAVE to have. I rarely spend more than £5 on something (including postage) but it all adds upThe debtWILLbegone - taking it 1% at a time

Hi all,
I have been lurking coz I started my own 100 day challenge after the last bank holiday so it doesn't finish til the 10th December.
I have given up buying Diet Coke, crisps, chocolate bars and McDonalds!!
Of course, just like last time, other people can buy them for me, so i'm not feeling too deprived, but I've not eaten any McDonalds at all in the time, which is very unusual for me. Will try and keep that going.
Just wanted to say thanks to everyone on the boards, it's great to read your comments and keep up the great work!
I'm thinking for my next one, daily exercise will need to be included too! Great ideas in here!Couch to 5K Running 2009/2010/2011
I'm all about the freebies!!0 -

Oh dear - I do that too....I can easily convince myself that buying on the internet isn't really spending moneyBooks are my main weakness as I buy them cheaply.

I do a charity shop hunt for my books, but will confess that I have managed to get some cheaper off ebay, even with postage, which I kinda feel a bit bad about as I know that the seller has actually lost money on it
I've actually done my second night in a row of "proper" exercise - ok it's just 15 mins at a time but baby stepsHere's to the next 98!

Hi, I used to be on this and it totally cured me of buying magazines and I am much better at buying toiletries, don't have loads any more. Have even run out of perfume!!!!
I pledge for the next 100 days that I will
1. Declutter for 15 minutes each day (cheers Urgxx)
2. Not eat ready meals.
3. Not buy magazines.
4. Not buy toiletries unless I have run out.
5. eat five fruit and veg each day (my skin has gone to !!!! lately)

Just popping on to mention when it was the Philosophy TSV last year I really struggled not to buy it because I was so new to changing my behaviour.
This year it has not bothered me in the slightest and I haven't felt tempted at all
