You could join me on the naughty step (where I have been since January when I crashed spectacularly out of this challenge :rotfl:)

*shuffles over to make room*

Hee hee, that's exactly where I was going to suggest you go Miss-Spent :rotfl:please dont leave us though

I dont think anyone could have colour analysis & not buy new clothes ....if I could remember back that far I'd probably find that's where some of my credit card debt came from :rolleyes:

Tracey - that's fantastic :j you are truly :A you've lost what I need to lose, still :mad:, do you mind telling me how long it took to lose that ?

I really really really need to stop eating sugary stuff now, have cracked the bread, pasta & potatoes thing, I just crave sweet stuff

*slopes off in self disgust*

Evening,

Just wondering if things like scarves and jewellery count in this challenge?

So far I've spent...
£3.21 on a lovely purple smock from ebay
£5.20 on a checky shirt from ebay
£4.50 on some earrings in new look (I took back a £4 top I bought on impulse last week... so only paid an extra 50p :P)
£1.00 on some earrings from George at asfa
£10.80 on a scarf in Miss Selfridge

So not sure what my total spend is? I do feel guilty, spending so much on a scarf, but in my defence I have sold A LOT of my old clothes recently... and it's so worth it.

Even as I type I'm not sure I want to do this!

But you are right - I have a full wardrobe full of perfectly good clothes that I want to slim in to. I have to start to get rid of some of these if I want to make space for BF to move in.

£100 for the year it is then. I'm off to update my spreadsheet.

URG x x

Yeaaa ! I agreeeee

Hey all

I have been really quiet as I have bought nothing (Oh yes, nothing at all) since my Monsoon dress at the start of the year!

Ok, that's not true. I have bought clothes, but I have taken them home and tried them on and they have either not fitted or I have decided they weren't worth the money and taken them back. This has been made a lot easier by my local New Look being closed for refurbishment until the end of April :rotfl:

The new clothes I do have were bought for me by my mother (She likes to shop when she visits and gets quite offended if I don't let her buy me things!) so no spends there.

So, I have not given up and I am lurking in the shadows. You're all doing so well!! :T

Well done flying fresian :A how lovely to have a mother that still likes to buy you clothes ... would she like another daughter down south perhaps

Should we expect a flurry of activity when New look reopens :rotfl:

I think my budget will go within the week when it opens again - they are introducing a massive shoe section :rotfl:

Ahhhh that's good! Then my total left is £91.59

I've made well over £50 from selling old clothes and shoes recently, so the money I spent on ebay was from those funds (in paypal)... therefore I don't feel *that* guilty

Temptation was allllllll around yesterday when I was at the shopping centre! I nearly bought a checky shirt in Primark for £10 but resisted as it didn't fit perfectly, and I already bought a checky shirt from ebay. Usually I would have bought it and probably never wore it so yay. Might buy it if I see it on ebay or in another branch in the correct size. But until then it's staying in the shop!

for goodness sake dont tell ClipClop or sarah :shhh:

Fantastic news on your sales Completely Lost & also for leaving shirt in shop ... how many times have I loved something & bought it inspite of it not fitting well :rolleyes:

I took another bag of stuff - mostly books & DDs stuff to the charity shop to day & on the way out I spotted a skirt that I took in a few weeks ago, I actually felt warm & happy that it was there & not in my wardrobe so that someone else may enjoy it dont know what's got into me :rotfl:
