I did it!
I shopped.
I re-used my bags.
Proof that pigs can be taught to fly.

Very impressive. Gives me hope for our planet. Don't know if I could ever do it, but it inspired me to shut off a light.

Excellent, will soon be calling you Swampy, which I realise will mean nothing to you, unless you google ;-)
Posted by: SingleParentDad | 23 June 2009 at 12:23 PM
Woo-hoo!!! Way to go!

Nothing half-hearted about your approach! You really bought into the idea. Good for you.
I expect you're glad the week is over...

I think its just getting into the habit of taking bags with you to the shop. Changing old habits is the hardest.
Well done RMx
Posted by: Rebel Mother | 24 June 2009 at 10:29 AM
Rebel -- yes I have found that to be the hardest part, changing old habits... I am so scared by this that I hope it sticks!
Posted by: A Modern Mother | 24 June 2009 at 11:07 AM
Excellent. I'm rying to do my bit as well. I just have to avoid swapping cars with my husband as his car boot is empty and mine if full of bags. Ciao. A.

Hooray! Keep doing it!
Posted by: Rosie Scribble | 24 June 2009 at 06:20 PM
Antonella --Let us knwo how it goes.
Rosie -- Easier said than done!
Posted by: A Modern Mother | 25 June 2009 at 07:31 AM
Well done! I always find that the bags are in the boot of the car that I haven't come in. Then, I don't want to use throwaway bags, so I buy more bags for life that end up in the car I've not come in! Grrrrrrr

Wow, I am impressed. By all of you who joined the challenge!
And you shop at Aldi, well done! I am a big fan and find it only too sad that there's no decent Aldi close by.
Posted by: Metropolitan Mum | 25 June 2009 at 09:55 AM
Working Mum -- I have quiet a few bags for life too!
Met Mum -- Aldi is new here, great prices! (and bags!)
