    Good for you :A , same here or what's the point :confused: . I do think the work clothes is a personal decision though as I couldnt do this if I needed to be buying suits & the like, selling unused clothes to increase the budget makes sense as well.

  • Hello all

    I had decided not to spend anything:eek: on clothes this year. Please, please may I join late then I will feel rich lol. I haven't spent anything on clothes since before Xmas.

    Doing the grocery challenge I've found that accountability is a very powerful incentive ;) . I've put it in my sig Lula-Hula and I promise to be good for me (but probably not for DGS + twin DGDs:o )

    Welcome S_Wales_Saver :D

    I'm sure you will be very good, there are only a couple of troublesome ones here : you know very well who I'm talking about ;)

    Barneysmom - oh please dont be cold :eek: I couldnt bear that so off you go to the charity shop & get yourself a warm & cosy bargain or how about primark ?

    I'm still good & have kept far away from ebay today; if only i could keep that far from the biccie jar too :rolleyes:

    I need a new one too, mines so thin, i'll freeze in the snow if it snows again :o

    Primark (like Lula said) i looked last week, yes i went clothes shopping :o and didnt see no nice coats. Then again primarks layout baffles my mind, i can never find anything ever!.

    So yeh, please dont freeze :A how about buying a scarf instead, that comes under accesories so is exempt from the challenge :T
    :)
  • Not posted anything in a while. Mainly cos surprisingly I haven't bought any clothes! I did buy a lovely pair of shoes whih in the sale with VAT deducted were £3.91 and a little bag for £2.47 for my graduation ball. Still it is not included in the challenge. And as my old old ball gown fitted there was no need to buy a new one :)
