    I'm doing great!

    I took on board someone's ideas about when a product is used up to pop a £1 in a tin and then use it for a treat

    I am putting it towards a massage to unknot my shoulders!

    OH dear I have to confess that I have fallen off the diet and no drink wagon! Had a bit of stress in my life which always makes me reach for the vino and chocolate.But am succeeding in no CC spends!
    Will try harder :)

    I'm still doing well, no take aways and tbh we havent really missed them either. I think whats done it for us was taking our average take away spend(£15ish) and seeing how much you can actually get in a supermarket or seeing how much extra we could have payed off our debt:o. Again doing well with buying no mags but i will be buying the new ww one on monday as its my turn to buy it (me n my mum take turns) but i wont be getting anymore;)

    Fish and chips and bread and butter for tea. Total cost, couple of quid as all in the oven, right out of the freezer. Friday is always takeaway day so am pleased things going well.
    Wandered away from the MSE track for a while but am back and on a mission! Debts cleared nearly £18k. Now to start saving ...

  • not bought anything yet here either.

    skin is a mess mind you so there is temptation to shop.

    must not shop must not shop.

    keep it up everyone! xx

    I've made a purchase of a new shower gel, it was a good price in Morrisons and I've finished the one I had cut open. Only got a wee travel sized Foamburst one which will probably be used up quickly. It's brilliant scoring something else off my list, my aim is to only have one of each item in use and to buy a new one when needed. Got a long way to go.
  • Hi fedupandskint - is there any chance I can join you on your challenge. I know I'm late - it'll be more like an 80 day challenge :o.

    My pledges are no more stockpiling:
    1. No more toiletries until last one is in use
    2. No more household cleaners / stuff until last ones are in use
    3. No buying cakes

    First task for tomorrow will be to take some inventories. 3 is going to be the difficult one :rotfl:.
