1) I promise to stop buying books from charity shops (I read so few because I'm asleep before I get to the second paragraph!) £2 for each one I read I think as its so rare!
2) I will stop buying candles... I have a cupboard and a drawer full! Is it ok if I put 50p a candle in as I often burn a couple of tealights every day? Perhaps a pound for the bigger candles.
3) I'm not going to go to McDonalds for 100 days (oooo- that will be hard!) I would normally go at least once a week so I think a pound a day should be about right....
Does that sound ok?
Please can I count today as day 1?
Today is day 32 for me.....
1) still not finished reading a book :eek: but havent bought any either:T:T:T
2) Have only burned 2 tea lights (£1 in the pot) and have resisted buying any so far....:A
3) Have not been to MacDonalds at all so £32 in pot :j:j
Hope you are all feeling as good and as proud as I do about changing habits.
Thanks to all of you for your support.

Hi everyone
My 100 days challenge finishes today!
My totals are: toiletries 99, clothes 96 and craft 92.
Quite surprised as I thought 29th was the 100th day, but my day tracker app says 100 days is up today. So hey ho!
It can be done. I never thought I'd manage such high totals as I have. If you think you'll get there, you will. Just keep taking a day at a time. And, like I did, avoid the places that might tempt you!0 -
