    ermmmmmmmm - I've just doubled my spend for the year on a single item - went into TK Maxx to buy some sunglasses - (broke two pairs in the last week - going on holiday tomorrow) Came out with sunglasses plus a bag. I had not intention of buying a bag but this one fell into the category of "the bag I have been looking for". £49.99 to add to my total. It's very beautiful and is tan leather which is my absolute favourite. Off to very guiltily update my signature.

    Somerandom, a handbag is not clothes. Nor are sunglasses. They are accessories, so don't add them to your total, and you've more to spend in the future! Sorted.

    YES! This :) that is unless your in the habit of wearing bags :eek: haha


    I am back to redeem myself so my -13.50 in the pot has just made a major leap to + £51.83 thanks to finally getting some things listed on ebay! 5 things sold for £65.33 in total :) most of it had only ever been worn once :eek: but amazingly a couple of bits I've actually made a profit on! I got a joules dress and a jacket to wear with it from M&S for a wedding both we're in the sale when I got them and both just went for about £5 more than I paid originally :j
    Need to keep going probably loads more to put on I've just been selling size 20/22 things now buying size 16!

    most of what I've got back in the pot will be going on a dress to wear to ladies day, a wedding, and a christening though hoping to get 1 to do all 3 :) have to admit I have found a joules dress exactly the same as the one I just sold on ebay which I am watching... it's currently only at £5.50 so fingers crossed... I hate dress shopping!

    Hope everyone else is getting on ok :)

    I hope you know your capable, & brave, & significant.
    even when it feels like your not....

    Well done Pixtotts on the weightloss.

    No more spends to declare here but I did think I looked a right mess yesterday, must make more effort not to just wear the same combo of jeans and jumper all the time.

    No clothes spends to report, but sold some items in the Bay and so will be saving proceeds to buy clothes when needed. So far I've not spend any of my £250 yearly clothes budget, which I'm really pleased about :D.

    Wishing you all a great weekend :);)

    Afternoon

    I am here to confess that I have completely busted my budget. I bought loads of things.

    I haven't spent more than I earned in eBay sales earlier in the year, but thats no excuse. I clearly can't stick to a budget.

    I will keep following though.

    Good luck everybody
