The Crazy £100 Clothes Challenge

gratefulforhelp_2

Ok I have gone a bit bonkers on ebay. Only spent 7.50 so far, it is for work though and so do I have to count it?

Also, Lula-Hula, do we have to count postage???!!!

Hi everyone,I do apologise for a long absence but promise I havent been shopping for clothes

First of all Congratulations on new baby to Mummy2mygirls :j

& is that a congratulations due to sparkly gemster too of course we wont count your maternity clothes sweetie

Puss14 & loobylou - I'm very impressed with your abstinence & you are both :A but I might have to consider forcing you to buy something soon as you're making the rest of us look bad :rolleyes:

IntergalacticFloozie - so sorry to hear of your OHs redundancy :grouphug: but hurray for finding & fitting into new jeans :j

Maz - very happy new clothes to you you're doing so well on your shrinkage that I think you deserve to up your budget a bit

Joolz-red on this challenge shoes dont count

Happy new clothes also to Luxor4tea, TescoPointsAddict, Moneysavingmonkey85 & Shelovestobuy stuff :j

Well, I braved the annual 'get the summer clothes out' traditition on May1st ... only 2 tops fit :eek: :mad::(

I have so many items that I love & used to feel comfortable in but now I just feel gross so have punished myself by putting all the clothes that dont fit into my wardrobe & the horrible cltohes that do fit & that I dont like are now on a hanging rail so I have to look at them each time I go in my room.

I'm really really ashamed at my own laziness & lack of willpower, it's now May & if I had just kept up with the simple taks of reducing my food & doing exercise I could have lost all 20lbs by now :mad:

Now on a mission ....

yes is it congratulations, thanks going to try and shop as cheap as possible, as i will only really need trousers/jeans im sure i will only need a few pairs to keep me going, im sure my tops will stretch over the bump

Well done on the babies everyone :j

Long time since i've been on here, kind of on the printy thread and mag thread lately, i dont seem to have enough hours to keep up with everything

I bought trousers yesterday for £3.00.

I also found a sale rack in Asda, and saw the tags, £7.50 down to £3.50, also a £1.50 item, got all excited at the price, till i saw it was a skirt, and i don't `do` skirts

Trousers are too long for me, but everything usually is, will take them up

Good luck again to everyone having/ expecting babies :A

According to a trashy magazine I read, we are "recessionistas"

confession time :eek:: jeans £16 (20% off though)- but they do make me look slimmer - and i have got rid of loads of old stuff and made about £100 on ebay recently...:T

hope you are all doing well!:beer:

Lula-Hula

Hi everyone,

been busy again, sorry for yet another prolonged absence

Yay to you SparklyGemster :j

gratefulforhelp - Yay us for having a title ; 'recessionistas' :cool: mmm I like

Whether you count work clothes or not is entirely up to you Have always left that open as I dont need a work wardrobe & I certainly wouldnt count postage any more than I would count fuel & parking on a shopping trip - :eek: at the very idea :rotfl:

Happy New Clothes moneysavingmonkey :j.

I might be bit behind with the totals on the front page, so apologies if I've not deducted any purchases & I'm sure you'll all be begging me to adjust accordingly :rolleyes::rotfl:

I'm about to embark on the special K challenge any day now ... once I've evicted those naughty penguins that are hiding in my kitchen cupboard ...

Just had a major shopping spree,well major for me,and have gone way over my £100 total now.If I dont count jackets though I am not too much over(I really needed a raincoat,maybe just not such an expensive one)?
Today I HAD to go shoe shopping.The ones I had on were my last pair of comfy flatties and were talking to me.I bought a fantastically comfy pair of Kangaroos which are black and very officey but with a bright pink lining,£40.
Then after 2 hours of hunting for shoes I couldn,t stop.I got 3 cheapy tops in M&S @ £9.50 each,a pair of black velvety cords in BHS sale for £10 and a fabulous mid mid calf length skirt in BRIGHT FUSCHIA for £11.Made up for it a little by buying a perfect black pinstripe skirt in a charity shop for £2.Oh and the high heals in BHS sale too for £15.Nearly forgot the new handbag for £15 also.
OMG,I am bad.

I'm having a clearout at the moment and found £50 of M&S vouchers! Have just been to have a look and bought 2 shirts for nearly £30. I may take one back. It was so nice to shop for clothes and it's nice to know it isn't going to be added to my total! There are benefits to hoarding!
