The Crazy £100 Clothes Challenge

Barneysmom

I'm in if you'll let me! :cool:
I love this idea, thanks for thinking of it.
I just bought last week a couple of fleece jackets for work and some new knickers and socks so phew! Glad this has come up after I bought them!
I'm pretty desperate for pyjamas though so I'll have to get some from Primark I love their flannel ones!

I just hope a haircut doesn't come in this one, I haven't been to the hairdresser for a year, my hair is halfway down my back and I just trim my fringe when it goes into my eyes. But I'll have to get over this hairdresser phobia one of the days.....:rotfl:

i would love to join this but I *know* I would fail. Good luck everyone!

Hi Guys,

Tomorrow I'm going to have a sort out of all my clothes and find which ones have been hiding!

As to dyeing clothes : great idea, have done it myself a few :rolleyes: times & any form of recyling/reusing clothes is great. I would recommend a certain 'body shape bible' book for fab tips on how to revamp/customise old clothes too.

That's handy cos I bought a pair of boots today.......in my defence £45.01 instead of £69.99

Good to luck to everyone and happy New year xxxx

I don't think I will get away with this challenge because I need good clothes for work and will have to buy more this year.
At risk of pointing out the obvious, people should check out ebay for good clothes. I got an amazing pair of GAP jeans on there for £2.50. They were used, but still have at least six months wear in them. I literally turned out the tag on the ones I was wearing and typed in the exact information and they came up in the search. Two days later the exact same jeans in a different colour.
Nice saving of something like £40!

I spent under £100 on clothes this year I think, didnt need any footwear (though my work shoes have seen better days). The clothes I did buy were mostly from Primark (pronounced pree-mark, not pry-mark, no matter what anyone says!)

I would love to join please, if for no other reason than to prove to the OH that I can do it. He says he's been doing it for years so its about time I got my act together :eek: :rotfl:

I started my challenge today :eek: with a spend of £20.13 for 4 tops from Mr S and Mr T

Thinking about the challenge meant I thought very carefully about what the items cost and whether they were worth it or not which meant I put a couple of things back and didn't buy anything from Peacocks sale.:j

Ho hum here we go then......GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!!!!:wave: :hello:

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL!!!:wave:

Sorry to disappoint you sweetie but that doesnt count as it's a 2008 spend the challenge starts from tomorrow so you still have £100:j.


Welcome barneysmom & weenapops & thanks for the support cerisa.
Ozmoneysaver - good tip thanks, sadly I am all too aware of the delights of ebay & picked up many bargains there last year, too many & many too small now .

Off to add fresh victims to the list now before they change their minds

I'd be up for this....the OH thinks i will fail in 2 months, but i'll prove him wrong (i hope!!!)

I tend to get a few bits from ebay anyway, so will just have to go there first before i splash out on anything, see if i can get it cheaper
