    £35 spent for me, new jeans, and two tops. I'm still amazed I've gone this long with spending so little.

    Xmas Saver!
    I am in shock at how disciplined I am, booked a trip on Orient Express, going with my Aunt this time (shes paying!!), I have decided I DO NOT NEED A NEW OUTFIT - I brought a dress b4 xmas in Ann Harvey reduced from £100 to £20, wore it to go out xmas dinner, it matches the outfit I wore last yr, so will reuse Jacket.

    Luckly wasn't on £100 challenge - this was last yrs outfits for Orient day trip.

    1. Spotted skirt, top, jck - Ann Harvey was about £220, just drooled

    Then

    Purchased

    1. Posh red top £40 - wear posh blk trs
    then changed mind

    2. Brown print dress - sale reduced £70 to £12
    changed mind - wasnt sure if appropriate so many tatoos to be on show (I have 29, small ones) and if shoe string straps mid Dec be right

    3. Week b4 going, walked pass Ann Harvey - my green outfit been reduced to £100......... so I brought it..... xx

    Hi all!

    I'm sorry I've been absent so long, but I have been a very good little girly indeed! Until the last couple of weeks...

    I have bought:
    Skirt: £4 (charity shop)
    Skirt: £3.99 (charity shop)
    Cardigan: £12.50 (M&S - ouch!!!)

    Hmmm, may have to hold off a few months or I'll run out of pennies too soon!

    Bravo Lula-Hula excellent work :T:T:T:T


    Thank you very much sweetie, I am delighted, but just not sure where it left from though because I dont feel any thinner :confused: oh well :rolleyes:



    Hmmmmm this thread has gone suspiciously quiet so I thought I should do my duty & liven it up a bit by declaring some more puchases :eek:

    I was looking for some red shoes but didnt find any so to console myself I bought 3 tops from primarni at a grand total of £6.37 :D

    I'm now past the halfway mark on my spending but as we're half way through the year I really think I can make it. I would still like a pair of cropped jeans or white trousers for holiday but am going to try to get them for as little as possible.

    Hope everyone ok & being good still ;)

    bye for now

    Lula

    Hello everybody
    Apologies for not being on here in a very long time and here's what happened today at lunchtime! I blew my budget :mad: But on a happy note, I love my new clothese :j. So I am mad at myself but happy at the same time?! :confused: Today I spent £75 on some nice stuff for my holidays and at the weekend I bought a couple of cheap tops too so although I have gone over and blown the £100, it could have been worse! It's really hard with all the nice summer stuff in the shops and I am wondering if I had popped in here more often if I would have been better behaved! Oh well, maybe next year! I will keep coming back to see how you all doing though and I will try and be good for the rest of the year! :rotfl:

    Well done Lula on your weight loss. :T

    Hi everyone!

    I bought a pair of levi's and a per una silver crinkle blouse from ebay for a grand total of £15!

    The jeans fit perfectly and are in great condition and colour, cost £8.97! very happy with this purchase!

    I've had a massive clearout in the wardrobe and donated 4 bags full of clothes and shoes to charity shops and have a few things for ebaying, fingers crossed for making a bit and adding it to the total to see me threw the rest of the year!
