    Well done for confessing sparklygemster & both you & mummy2my2girls will be pleased to know that underwear is definitely not included :D .

    dobs - I never feel bad about spending on DD, kids grow & I always stock up on stuff for her when it's bargainous - it makes sense ;) .

    going to update your amount left now sparklygemster :eek: it's on the first page so no cheating ;) .

    bye for now

    I'm trying to keep my spending on undies down to under £100 as well, which is a lot less than I normally spend...

    I love M&S undies, don't buy them from anywhere else, and never wear anything that isn't a matching set. It's like KOCD (Knicker OCD) with me.

    If I manage to keep it under £100 I will have done really well :rotfl:

    I'm just not going into any shops that sell clothes for now. Might have a look again at the end of the sales then leave it for a month or so.

    Mind you could do with a new pair of jeans like......:eek: :mad:

    HELLO EVERYONE..
    Thankyou lula hula for adding me to this challenge .I think im going to find this very intresting as i really dont have a clue how much i usually spend on clothes a year , due to me being a sales spender !! so i live in Denial most times thinking ive saved money rather than spent it!!!}
    Im doing super good at the moment as i have refrained from looking on clothing websites and i have store vouchers still in my purse and not spent them yet !!:j
    So for january im rather proud of myself so far ..lol
    Anyhow i hope you dont mind but im going to update my signature to with how much i spend on my daughter aswell, as she is my main downfall for clothes spending and i would really like to see how much more i spend on her than myself !! like all us mothers do ]..she is still growing so deserves a higher challenge price than myself !! my excuse ], so i can prove to my friends that i dont spend too much on her as they all think .

    So far I've spent nothing. I went to buy some handkerchiefs, but the shop didn't have any. I didn't realise underwear was excluded as well!
    My suggestion and/or advice is my own and it is up to you if you follow it, please check the advice given before acting on it.

    dobs, unless you're an octopus that's an overdose of slippers!!!

    Lula, I have a query... If I buy myself the ingredients needed for knitting myself a cardigan or jumper, does that count as part of my £100 spend??? I love cardigans and jumpers, but refuse to pay over £30 for a chunky bum-coverer!!

    (chunky being the knitted product, not my bum!!)
