    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 :)


    Hurray, there's 20 of us now :D
    sparkly gemster - welcome & I'm adding you to the list right now, you can do it :D

    Hi i'd like to join this, i spend way too much on clothes. And since having my baby have put on weight and as there are tubs of size 12 and 14 clothes in the roof waiting for me this will give me the incentive to lose the weight as i have hardly any clothes in my current size! Spookily enough my hubby has promised me for xmas (when he can afford it!) a £100 for clothes as my present so when (if) i get it i will store it away for my clothes challenge!
    I have been given £60 in vouchers so am going in town this weekend to try to buy some pjs and a top to keep me going!

  • Woohoo! That still means I have £100 to play with :j

    Good job as I've just been filling in my new calendar and I have my Uncle's 65th Birthday party this month. I'll see if one of my 'going out' tops fits after all the Christmas chomping I've been doing. Otherwise I'll have to dip into my £100 for something glittery but cheap.

    Can I add in £100 each for the little HonestBobs (all 5!). That's to include school uniforms but not shoes, undies or pj's?

    Happy New Year all :beer:

  • I want to join in this challenge, as I spend too much on clothes even if I do seem to get most of mine from primark, asda & ebay. I have too many clothes as they don't seem to all fit under my bed any more & I was going to have a sort out & get rid of some but I think I'll keep them now so I don't have to spend any more on clothes.

    I'll give this a go if that's ok. I spend very little on clothes - mainly stuff for work. I do need some new trousers but I've got £20 christmas money and some vouchers from pigsback that I can use.

    I also have some stuff to sell on ebay - presumably if I sell clothes I can buy replacements with the money I make?

    Happy New Year everyone.:beer:

  • Thanks Lula-Hula. Very busy indeed!

    Two of my stepchildren are here too plus eldest HonestBoblet's best friend. We've got a girlfriend arriving shortly and the two girls from nextdoor will be over too. I wouldn't mind if this were just for New Year's Eve, but it's most weekend evenings :eek:

    I'm hiding in the kitchen for another half an hour, by which time the alcohol will have kicked in and I'll go and join them on Rockband drums :D

    :hello: Hi all can I please join too. I have major issues with buying clothes when I really dont need them or afford them. I also have bags and bags of clothes with the labels on, just got to lose weight to fit into them:o

    So I will go for £100.00 and £50.00 back up funds.

    Happy New Year all.
