    Hi

    I had to spend 16.20 (18 with 10% discount) on a new pair of black work trousers today taking my total to £36.20.

    The slimming into a whole new wardrobe really isn't working at the moment. Must make this a priority for the upcoming months.

    I was originally asking flying Fresian not to tell you about a new shop opening up near her with a whole shiny new shoes section :D, however, this news has been completely blown away by the Kurt Geiger news :rolleyes:

    ps - has no one told you that shoes dont count :rotfl:see page 1 for the rules :eek: however, if you have debts & dont need the shoes then i suggest you let the voucher go because I am quite sure it wont be the last money off fabby stuff voucher in the world :naughty:

    Martin claims he loves the DFW part of the forum and he goes and posts that :eek: I question his dedication to us.

    Incidentally what the hell is with the new :mad: icon????

    You are very correct...didn't realise that shoes didn't count must have missed that bit, really don't need anymore though so i might just add them to my own list :rolleyes:

  • Hi all, I am still in the challenge - just! The warmer weather tempted me back to the shops, as all my summer tops from last year fell apart or turned into funny shapes in the wash. It isn't just me is it? Clothes really aren't lasting as long as they did, even ten years ago?

    So, anyway, a flurry of top buying later - all practical and all stuff I will wear on a regular basis - I have a grand total left for the year of £19.98:eek::eek::eek:

    Although I've spent a lot of this year's budget, I'm actually really proud of not going completely crazy once I got into a shop:rotfl:. I think I'm going to need to flog some stuff on ebay though to earn some money back for later in the year!:D

    Sinned and bought another best from ebay... a topshop one, for £2.99. Too good a bargain to miss :S

    I'm down to £88.60.
  • Hi, guys. Anyone have a view on fat face sizing?

    They have some yummy stuff reduced at the mo, but I would be in their biggest size, so if they are a bit stingy on sizing its a NEGATORY!

    Their kids sizing is bonkers, my 20 month old is wearing a 4-5 years cardi that is only just big enough...:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:
    Please do not confuse me with other gratefulsforhelp. x

    I have a couple of Fat Face bits and bobs and I think the sizing is more generous - more New Look and Monsoon than Topshop. But that might just be me, I am a pear shape so often find sizing a bit odd.

    ETA - that is for skirts, jeans come up a bit smaller I find (or maybe I have been overoptimistic)
