Following on from the last couple of years I thought it was time to start a nice new New Year thread
This thread has helped me a great deal and also the lovely

Now can it help you too?
The last few challenges have focused on not buying something that's a habit for 100 days. Now this has worked well and something else developed too.
Concentrating on using up what we have stashed away first of all then finding a feeling of joy in using something up and creating a space in the cupboards and drawers and so on
Then it became a happy habit to put £1 into a pot everytime something was used it. I did the earlier this year and saved up £40+ which I put towards a new coat. When I bought the coat I had a very big smile on my face when I thought about how I had saved up for it instead of constantly spending on shopping tv beauty offers.
This is the first year in a long time when I don't have any outstanding spending in shopping tv and that's a good feeling
I've got there at last - conquered one of my demons

It took a couple of years to get there but I got there in the end.
My ideas are these. What do you think?
- 100 days of not buying of not doing something thats a habit.
- Use up as much as we can from the stocks
- Put £1 in the pot everytime you do - save it up for a treat you really want (not the one you habitually buy)
Everyone's welcome, there's no membership list. However, there is a cost if you want to contribute - the £1 into the pot each time so of the stocks are used up. If this doesn't apply then there's no cost at all!
