    I find that MrT's can be good for bra's, also Sainsbugs.

    Thank you, I might pop down to the big store this weekend and have a look :)

    Wearing a t-shirt I 'accidentally' won on fleabay last week - £4.50 for an A&F t-shirt. Will come in useful I think.

  • Hi everyone
    I almost bought a dress last night, but decided to sleep on it. When I looked at it this morning I realised it was a bit boring, it was the same shape in a different print as another one I have and I didn't really love it. It certainly didn't spark joy.
    Plus I shouldn't be buying things in the size I need now... should be putting my energies into getting into the stuff I already own!
    Easier said than done sometimes!
    Have a nice day

    Hello, so I joined last year.... and sorta kinda fell off the wagon...
    I'm a little late to start but I'm in ! I don't think I've bought any yet this year, well apart from my dress for next Christmas but not counting that.... as I've been really good and bought it 3 sizes smaller as an incentive to get into!


    So my rules for this year are..... I can spend gift vouchers, buy boots because I've just condemned some, and underwear.
    But after that I can only spend what I've made from ebay sales, I've lost 2 and a half stone since last may so plenty that don't fit now just need the motivation to sell them! And I can only buy things if they are smaller than I currently have! lol x
    I hope you know your capable, & brave, & significant.
    even when it feels like your not....

    I'm another vote for supermarket bras, I've found sains to be a bit iffy on fit definitely a try on job. As*da is my firm favourite, their £4 ones I LOVE THEM SO MUCH!! especially when they are on sale for £2 :|they have so many colours and they last a really long time, I've actually not had to get rid of any because they wore out only because they don't fit now, :) x
    I hope you know your capable, & brave, & significant.

    I must admit I am a VS convert for bras - although they aren't budget. I spent ages trying one on in there - its non-wired from their 'lounge bra' range and sooooo comfy.

    My other t-shirt bras are from primarni, though a couple of those have seen better days.

    Welcome aboard, you are no. 34. Good luck with getting into the incentive purchase; I still can't get into mine from 2012 and have gone the other way! Oops.

    Hello

    today I went in Zara to look at the kids clothes. I had to pass through the women's range to get there.

    There are loads of things in the new season range which I want, but I stayed strong, and didn't buy anything.

    The project 333 period begins again on 1 April, and I should be shuffling around clothes that are not appropriate for the next season, so maybe I will treat myself to something from Zara then. If I still want the items then, then I think I can justify them :D

    Usually, i would have bought everything i wanted from there and blown my budget and also the project 333 limits, so I think today was a positive day :D

    I hope everyone is well.

    Thanks Kim :) I have definitely done that in the past! and after the weekend I've had I'll be lucky if this years any different! Sort of an early valentines, think cheese with every course... lol

    My sister has a trip to Primarni planned next week, and I REALLY need new PJ bottoms, we're talking too big, holes, or elastic in waists gone, so mega listing on ebay tomorrow to hopefully sell something so I can get some...

    On a more positive note I would like to claim me a gold star, I have a trip to London (Work) in March, and I've figured out already what I'm going to wear each day from things I already have, so no need for anything and I'll be able to pack a little lighter than usual... maybe....hopefully! haha x
    I hope you know your capable, & brave, & significant.
