Hello ...Well im reall yshocked at myself as we are in the third month of the year and i still havnt bough tmyself any clothes!!! ..I have spent an amazing £3.25 yesterday on my daughter thow on just one top as the shop had a sale on and i could not find anything else in her size. I did have plans to buy myself some clothes too whilst out yesterday , but seeing as my daughter was having her terrible twos tantrum and running riot i did not make it to many shops with much patience with her ..lol.. So gues s he saved me alot of pennys now ive clamed down ..whit woo !! ..off to update my signature now. I think everyone is doing great on here..well done :j

Went out on Friday night so needed a new top ('needed', yeah right) so spent £15. So that's me on £85 left for the year.

Just wanted some opinions here regarding a hand bag (I know that doesn't count in the £100 challenge)

Now i'm not really a handbag person but one caught my eye in a local, independent shop. It was large, red and shiny with a big bow on it. It stuck in my mind and so I took OH to have another look thinking that if it wasn't too expensive my boys could buy it for me for Mother's Day.
Turns out is was a Bulgari and cost £50. OH offered to buy it but I told him that under no conditions was anyone to spend that much money on a handbag.
Trouble is........did I do the right thing??

There is a chain of small 'boutiques' called 'Elan' not sure if its just in Essex or if they are franchise.
Thing is I have never had a posh handbag (I know, why should I?) but this is all shiney and it has a gold B hanging on it with all sorts of other bits on it, and its red and I have a red jacket and its pretty.

Still £50 for a HB is obscene, isn't it?

As poorandindenial has obviously legged it to said boutiques oin great haste I shall answer that for you :

It is a perfectly reasonable amount for a leather handbag... dare not say how much I have spent on some of mine in the past

Take that lovely OH back there immediately & be very grateful ... & enjoy your new bag :j :j

Oops - sorry, I was just gorging on some of twink's hobnobs that I just took out of the oven.

Ditto what Lula said

*pops off to check to see if there is an Elan in the part of Essex I work in*
