The Crazy £100 Clothes Challenge

traceyaskham

Evening everyone,
Here is my monthly update:

Current balance 42.85

Item sold on ebay 1.04 (not much, but it's something)

New balance 43.89

Weight watchers seems to be working, so can now fit into stuff that was just languishing in loft. Don't need to buy any summer clothes this year.:j

Have listed more things on ebay so I may be able to update total a bit more next month.

Be careful out there.....

hello all & well done to traceyaskham for selling stuff :A

apart from being so virtuous the other thing I love about you guys is that you do the maths for me :T

I finally start the new part time jobby tomorrow so 1) should finally lose some inches, & 2) I should have a little bit of spare cash - have decided to get a couple of cheap tops when lost 5lbs

off to update allowances again

I am doing really well so far, altho I spent £55 on two pairs of pumps but shoes don't count do they? And also about £40 on a belt and a bracelet.....but that don't count either, no? lol......I got a top for £4 from Tesco though so I need to declare that please

Good girl for confessing mrs.way I shall amend your allowance right away .

So, can we spend money earned on ebay and not take it out of the hundred quid?

Hi gratefulforhelp


I think the idea is that if you sell any unwanted clothes, shoes, bags etc on ebay the money from that can be spent on clothes, but not if you've sold other stuff such as Cds, DVDs, books etc.

I'm hoping somebody confirms this though

I have confused DH as trips to town are so [STRIKE]boring[/STRIKE] quick, as they don't involve clothes shops. Even charity shops seem expensive now!

Correct see page 1 for complete rules so far ( that means sarahb hasnt come up with any more exclusions yet :rotfl: ) however, I should point out that those with debt really ought to use any extra money made from sales towards clearing their debts rahter than spending it on clothes they dont need - sorry but you know it makes sense


luxor4t - I'm all for confusing the little people :cool: - I had 6 NSD's in a row & it felt almost unwell today when I had to buy some food :rolleyes: .

I've now done 2 days of the new part time walking the streets jobby ( not as 'iffy' as it sounds ) & it must be working. I did 2 hours walking at a good pace today, came home made lunch ( cup a soup :A )sat down & when the phone rang I could hardly get up I'm aching all over - think I may have dislocated both my legs :rotfl:

Hi noynoy,

I dont think we ever came to a conlusion on that but it seems to me that you shouldnt be penalised for being moneysaving, will leave that choice up to you
