2012 100 Day Challenge

Hello I would like to join this thread/challenge. As you can see I am a Newbie and am slowly finding my way around the forum and choosing jsut afew challenges to get me started.

Mine would have to be :-
1) Not buying kids treats - budget for these and let them earn treats so they don't expect them everytime they come shopping with me.
2) Buying extras in the supermarket just because the item is reduced.
3) Drinks in the gym - make sure I have my water bottle.

Welcome to this thread, its funny how the little things add up

What a great idea! Thank you. I'd like to combine with my SPC and put my savings in my SPC (which is also my mortgage pig)

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?

This looks like my kind of thread, I pledge to not buy anymore
books til i've read what i own - then use library more
cross stitch stuff (have 17 unopened kits)
toiletries until I've used up my stash I'm sure 9 bottles of handwsh is borderline obsessive!
chocolate, crisps and sweets. I will win the diet battle!!

Used up a bottle of mouthwash (not all at once and the disgusting smelling anti-p so another £2 in the pot. Not only that but the anti-p I do like was on special offer so got a couple of cans.

The last of my vitamin E moisturiser has gone this morning - another £1 in the pot and need to dig out another pot of face cream ready for tomorrow. There must be another 50 or so lurking around my house.

Well Done everyone!

Welcome wear and kylie and kellibobs - good luck with your challenges and pop back on to let us know how it goes! Count what you like and start it NOW!

As for me, I used up the redness base I cut open at the end of Nov and it lasted a couple of months using it every day so it was worth cutting the tube open and using up every last splodge.

So that's another £1 in the pot and next will be a small pot of moisturiser finished at some point over the next week

Looks like we're all doing well with emptying out what we have and using them up!

I've just cleaned out the cupboard under my kitchen sink. If I buy more cleaning products before April I am being a hoarder basically so I'm going to add that to my challenge as well.
