    Black LK Bennett Dress - £5.00 - it's one of those really easy to wear items that you can dress up or dress down - I'm expecting to get a lot of wear out of it.

    I'm now a few pounds over budget for the year. I'm surprised it's lasted this long the rate I was spending earlier in the year. I've definitely slowed down over recent months. I will need to buy a couple of cardigans to replace the ones that have been eaten by moths...

    May be joining the exceeding budget group. I've ordered a coat and will be over budget if I keep it.

    I started well and it went downhill from there. After this I really don't need anything so next year's budget will be lower.

    £24.99 for a Kew cardigan from TK Maxx. I bought it a week or so ago and was planning to return it but following the demise of a second cashmere cardigan - I have decided to keep it.

    Keeping the coat, it's so comfortable.

    Seen a jacket or two I like, but am not buying at the current prices (£25 and £22.) Will try and get hold of them in the sale even though I'm already over budget.

    Underwear for DH £9.00, because of his health and not able to work at present, his clothing spend comes out of my budget. I am happy with that, we both, now, don't spend much on clothes, as we KM'd our underwear drawers and can actually see what we have...


    It does make a difference.


    Hope all are ok and well.

    Just doing a quick catch up on all your posts.

    I've had a bit of a spend yesterday - a lands end wool throw, really nice quality from the cs for £7 and a purple phase eight top for £5. Also treated myself to a small Radley shoulder bag off Ebay. It's a lovely rich purple colour, only used once and it cost £20 including postage.

    My job situation is still a bit pants. It's my last week at work then a week off before starting new job. I've done a couple of sessions already at new job just to do handover. The people are nice but the job seems a bit boring. Also I am working in an office on my own rather than the main office which is not what I expected. I will give it a chance though.

    I almost went to town shopping today to cheer myself up but did some gardening instead,. :T

    Yes, thankyou KerriG. The problem is that yesterday I didn't feel the need any longer to stick rigidly to my budgets and went £20 over so I need to keep that in check.

    Am only going to buy one new item at a time now, as I still have more weight to lose so am hoping to need even smaller sizes.

    I think in the past I didn't get on with skinny jeans/leggings because I was just too big but feel happier about it now.
