Right
No more cleaning products (I shouldn't need any).
Or makeup
I may have to buy shampoo and bubble bath but will use what I have before starting 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!

HI All,

sorry - I've been MIA for a while. Have read but not really been posting.

I did pretty well on not buying toiletries unless I needed something (apart from my mini-blip with the Body Shop!) In fact, my total came to £46!
Not so well on the lunches and the exercise. I think I am going to incentivise these to see if it will help!

So for the next 100 days I will:

1. Carry on using up toiletries = each use-up will be £1
2. No lunches at work = each day will add £1
3. Exercise for 20 mins per day = each day will add £1
4. Work on one craft project per week - no incentive except using up my stash of stuff!

Good luck all!

Good luck wannabee and urg. Plus nice to see you're still reading.

Good idea about the £1 for each time exercise for 20mins.

Having said that it would cost me a fortune though as I'm training for a half marathon next month!

Thanks Fedup I will pledge to buy cosmetics when needed. Last time I pledged to give up chocolate with diastrous results. I hope to cut down but not give it up, I now need to look after my voice better so I can sing better for my band.

Another one is books apart from ebooks as they save loads of space x

Good Luck everyone x

Hi FedUp....

Please add me to the list of challengers. My 'give up' is the old faithful of toiletries and household cleaning products!! I've previously used this challenge to help me clear out, but in my absence from MSE, stocks have crept up again

Thanks

Day one.... Nothing bought and nothing used

Ooooh, just had a thought - Can I carry over my £14 until expensive skincare products needed????

fedupandskint

Welcome back GRC, eppp and eltee and of course you can carry your £14 over. I'm carrying mine over for a while too

Good luck everyone!

Morning All

Used up a little sachet of anti-something or other this morning. think it was anti- or un-oil or something. my brain has turned to mush......

anyway, another £1 in the pot

gothrockchic1

So far so good, I have used a shower gel sample and my last conditioner. I am debating whether to replace it or not as I have a move looming and I have hair conditioner that will do in the meantime

£2 to the pot
