    Hi I think you are going to throw me out of the club. I know I didn't ever officially take the pledge but I have enjoyed the company.
    Any way here goes. Following my colour analysis I hit the shops yesterday with brilliant long suffering husband in tow.
    I bought in M&S
    4 t-shirts in £16
    Per una cardi £35
    Per una trousers £45
    Cardi £18
    Trousers were the only ones I could get to fit and I desperately need some for holiday next week. I think I will return cardi as its not right colour.
    Debenhams;
    John Roche pink wool coat £42.50 (from £85)
    Jane Norman T-Shirt £12
    Wallis Jumper £10 (was £20)
    and a raspberry jumper which should have been £6 but the cashier didn't charge me (only realised at home)
    Finally I bought 4 pashminas from a stall £5
    So taking into account vouchers and VAT reductions I spent about £160 which I had been saving for and I may return some stuff.
    Am I expelled?

  • Evening all,

    My monthly update:

    Previous balance 43.89.

    Sold a suit on ebay + 6.00

    Bought trousers and top on ebay -4.99 (including postage)

    Net gain 1.01, therefore, new balance 44.90.

    Good news is, I've now lost 21 pounds ( that's a whole one and a half stone) at weightwatchers, which means I can now wear the clothes in my second to last bag of "small stuff" in the loft!! How good is that! (Would insert smiley at this point if I knew where it was).
