  • I managed to persuade OH that we didn't need to go and buy anything that was crap. I also forgot my purse when we had to buy some bread so was unable to buy anything. Whoops!

    Purposely using a chocolate shower body wash to use it up! It is gross!!! I'm not a huge chocolate fan anyway and having a body wash smelling like it is horrid!!! But needs must! :rotfl:

  • I had lunch out on Friday but it was paid for by someone else so doesn't count! Have to be strong and say no to my friend who wants pizza or chinese before we go to the cinema on Monday.

    Got to get some facial moisturiser tomorrow as I haven't got enough to last another week now. Must resist buying anything else in that section though! I currently want some baby oil to use after showering, but I have about 4 other moisturises I could use up first.

    Millionaire - don't beat yourself up about weakening on one day. Take each day as it comes and with one blip remind yourself why you want to do this in the first place then try again - good luck

    psycho - how does this sound use the body lotions up first and work your way through them then treat yourself to the baby oil?

    Each day as it comes to overcome the temptation in our minds to buy and stock up etc.

    Let's all try and stay strong tomorrow
