Hi Lula Hula, could I please join in too?
I've been really good this year so far and have only bought a top for £4 - good ole Primark! :T
Mind you I do have two weddings in the summer!! Me thinks I may be rummaging through the charity shop rails soon.

What? you heard that???? :rotfl:

Surely she can take advantage of the swimwear rule wherever she lives, it is just that it may take more balls in some parts of the country than others In some parts I have seen the young laydeeeeez wearing less than swimwear on very cold nights :eek: (if I did that then I would be immediately air lifted 'back to the sea' and there might be reports like this - http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/london/4631396.stm)

you are so funny

anyone can use the swimwear rule - I have a fab cossie that holds the tummy in but then pushes everything upwards & out over the top of the padded bra bit :eek: ( yes, I learned this hard way when wondering why all men were blatantly ogling me in local pool )

I think the poor old dears in the Red Cross Shop would have rather a fright at me rummaging through the rails in my bikini :eek:

Hello Boys!!!!!!!

exactly in future think I will 1) avoid swimming until further notice & 2) let my tummy control itself :rolleyes:

I have lots of clothes that just dont fit properly since I put on weight after quitting smoking & as I refuse to buy anything in a larger size I wont be spending a penny until I lose the weight...that's my personal motivator rather than the actual financial side of things but as I said... you can include or exclude what you suits you best

I am so with you on that, how long does one keep trying to lose weight before giving in though?!

Not spent any so far...

I am going to try......I really do spend SO much it's stupid, although I have just worked out that it comes to about £8.30 a month (if I have done my calculations right!!!!!) but I really am going to try, this should hopefully help me to cut back and save money for more important things, even if I can't stick within the limit it is going to help me, great idea for a challenge!!! Nice one!

Hi Lula
Confession time. I had a lovely day out on Saturday with my Mum and daughters and we all got some bargains.I bought a blouse for work and 2 summer tops in a local charity shop-it all came to £5 and I donated a full bag of clothes to them so I've actually got less now than I had before so surely that's a good thing!! We also found they do a great selection of birthday cards etc at £1. I hate spending money on cards which end up in the recycle bin in a few days-at least buying them here does some good.
Cheers
Janey
