It feels so good to use things up and recycle the empty bottles!<br /><br />Another thing I've found that really helps is when I want something, I wait a few days before taking any action. Usually by that time I realize that I don't really need it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7598189866497597471.post-79202622489303328752012-02-24T20:34:23.334+00:002012-02-24T20:34:23.334+00:00I am a nightmare I have so many half used bottles ...I am a nightmare I have so many half used bottles of things!!!

I wish I could say it had enriched my life but instead I just struggle through! No, it's really not that bad. I too have staved off going to the shops of looking at what is there through email and scanning the web. It does work; what you don't want you won't buy. I have caved a couple of times - for kinda essential items, but otherwise I have been pretty damn good! It does feel good. Yey!

We send some to a savings account every month and whatever is left we divide by 4 (the number of weeks in a month) and that's our weekly "pocket money" to spend on treats, nights out etc. and we don't go over that amount!<br /><br />Lisa xCurious Caledoniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13802144426990883726noreply@blogger.com
