Hey consider this thread subscribed! I have two boxes of cosmetics and I am not allowed to buy any until I have used it all up. I have decided to cut down on my chocolate spending but not totally give it up!

I am also not allowed to buy books too!

Thanks for the mention

Good to see you!

In fact I too have 2 full bags of make up and about 3yrs worth of mineral foundation to get through As this is going to be a frugal year at least I won't have to buy any more!

I'd love to join up again!

I used to love getting to the bottom of things and the stash was nicely used up after about three goes! I have bought a whole load of body butters that were reduced - I will not pay £12.50 but am happy to pay £5 in the sales. My skin is so dry that it hates me if I don't moisturise properly! I've also been buying a lot of make up recently and really don't need any more.

I have also fallen out of the habit of taking lunches to work. I end up spending money on lunch which is not always healthy.

Finally, I want to develop a positive habit.

So, for the next 99 days I will

1. Not buy any toiletries or make up unless I need to replace something.
2. Not buy lunches at work unless I have arranged to meet someone.
3. Do 20 mins of exercise per day.

Good luck all!

OK will this pass as a 100 day challenge? I will go swimming at least 3 times a week between now and 6th April. I will put 30p in the tin each time I go and if I manage the 3 times it will be a whole £ Should help with my weight loss challenge too

Would love to join too, my downfalls are:

Cafes, no popping it to cafe's 3 or 4 times a week unless I'm meeting friends there (this happens maybe twice a month)

No buying treats/magazines for the kids, they have more than enough

Cutting right back on buying and eating chocolate

Good luck everyone!

Welcome back urg and good luck!

Welcome igamogam and alibob and good luck!

100 days to start anytime around now and the 30p per swim idea sounds great too.

Also the cutting back on coffees too in coffee shops. That's what I've done and then set myself a strict budget for them when I'm at uni and have also swapped to the considerably cheaper cup of tea!

All the best everyone and good luck wishes sent to all :T Let's do it!

Can I join?

For me:-

No clothes.
No books - have loads that I need to read.
No magazines - have loads in a pile that I have only flicked through.
No toiletries.
No chocolate - have loads from Christmas.

I will pay £1.00 off my debt when I have used something up.

Good luck all.xx
