    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

    I forgot about my scarfs :o:D Wore one today with a big fleece jacket under my coat too and it was toasty! Thank you xx
    I think I'm too old for Primark - I'm 46 :o

    Hello,

    just wanted to pop in to say well done :A to little_miss_moneySaver for reusing your ballgown - have you got your mice,pumpkin & Prince charming organized too ;)

    Barneysmom - I'm glad that you are no longer cold but I have to gently tell you off for thinking you're too old for primark :naughty: that's just rubbish - you're never too old for cheap & cheerful clothes. I'm not that far behind you in age & my only issue with primark is ethical :o . Borrow a copy of the bodyshape bible from the library & learn to dress for your shape & what suits you personally & trust me, you can buy clothes anywhere - as long as they cost under £100 of course :rolleyes: :D

    My diet is not going well :o so I can forsee my £100 lasting for years :(

    bye for now
    lula
    xx

    I still haven't bought anything but haven't been very active in this thread!

    I wonder who will be the first to spend £100, and who will have the most left at the end of the year! Should be interesting :)

    I spent the grand total of £1 today on a pair of jeans. Dewhirst (M&S seconds shop) kindly sent me a £5 voucher so £6 jeans were £1 cash :D

    DH made me buy some thermal socks too, but they are definitely 'underwear' as they are too ugly to show anyone :o
    I can cook and sew, make flowers grow.

    I was thinking of cutting out the middle man and go staright to rent a tent, instead of Evans.... but they dont take evans card............it will be an emergency, hence the card has to come out and be dusted down.

    I guess it will be the usual question on the plane -

    me - sorry to trouble you but can I have the seatbelt extension
    air crew - no problem, have you got long left to go
    me - Im built for comfort Im afraid
    Air crew - disappears and sends someone else down with the belt!!
