  • Hi cats - of course you can. Both gothrockchic and I decided to start afresh for the New Year and have a new thread to keep us all motivated - that's why this one is up and running

    You sound like you're doing pretty well too and sometimes its harder to start and keep going and then the new habits kick into place and keep going - well done with how you've done

    Thanks fedup!

    Going to go for 1) make up- I have too much and don't wear it often enough
    2) toiletries- do use them but bulk buy and always forget what I already have

    Hi,

    I'd like to join up if it's ok?

    I pledge not to buy the following:

    1. Chocolate and sweets -should help with the weight loss!
    2. Clothes - unless I really need something such as tights (I have no idea where they all go!).
    3. Books - this is my big vice but I have a ridiculous amount of books that I need to read, and I am planning on joining the library.
    4. Toiletries - unless I run out of something, and then I will buy a cheaper option as I have a bit of a weakness for expensive toiletries :o
    Good luck with your challenges everyone!

  • Hey all
    £3 in the pot today - I used up deodorant, bubble bath and face cream. All little bits that I'd left lying about.
    Still plenty more to be getting on with.

  • Hi folks
    Thought I'd mention that the link for this challenge on the 2012 challenges sticky actually goes to the 2011 challenge not this thread for 2012.
