  • Am I too late to join?

    I confess. I'm a primark addict. I go in at least once a week. I have a wardrobe full of things that still have the tags on. I really don't need any clothes right now, but what I do need is an incentive NOT to buy any! :rotfl:So far this year I haven't bought any new clothes, which I think is a record for me. If I can genuinely stay under £100 it'll be such a big boost to my debt free plans.

    Following on from the lady who mentioned simplby yours, most are all run by the same company, JD Williams, Fashion World etc, I got my bargains from JD Williams site, but clicking into "Crazy Clearance", its all the bargian bits, you can save upto 70%, thou you may have to do some clicks as like any other sale items the sizes are hit and miss, and if you order over £50 the p+p is free (you dont have to keep the clothes!!) x

  • Hi all

    I have to 'fess up to some socks/tights purchases (I am including the whole shebang) it came to £15 so that needs to come off my £100

    Flipping tights, when is winter over????? Instruments of torture and expensive for those that are less uncomfortable.

    Hello all,

    just popping in to say that I was given a bag of clothes yesterday :jsome not to my taste or 'style' :rolleyes: & some that I will never ever fit into :o but 2 fab tops, a very nice fluffy jumper & cardigan & a couple of t shirts which can be worn everyday. It's so nice getting stuff that's 'new' ( as in new to my wardrobe) & fab that it's free :D . The rest will be going to the charity shop so that's my karma dealt with ;) .

    Having succesfully avoided clothes shop since December, I have to go into town tomorrow to collect new contact lenses :eek: I'm going to take £10 only with me & promise to confess all when I return...

    lula xx
  • I've been very kindly given a £10 voucher for Dorothy Perkins, so I'll have to have a good trawl of their website so that I can use it wisely and not buy yet another sparkly top!

    Oooh yes mum2one;

    GlassesDirect via quidco are doing an extra 10% today on top of the 14% usual cashback :j .

    I'm really miffed as when I went to pick up my new lenses I couldnt get my prescription as apparently the optician has to sign it & she was 'busy' :mad: - they really dont want me to have it :rolleyes: .

    anyway the good news is I took my £10 with me, whizzed into primark & came out again with the £10 complete & it has now been returned to it's hiding place. I told it that if it was very good I would take it out again next month & maybe it could bring a friend too :rotfl:

    bye for now,
    lula xx
