I'm watching 11 items of clothing on Ebay

i was in monsoon sale yesterday ... got horribly tempted to blow £30 of my £100 budget, but .... a first for me .... I put it back on the rail!! :j

I think the long-term answer for me might be to avoid clothes shops :rotfl:

Well done on putting it back on the rail :T:T

I'm just hoping that the Oasis dress I'm watching on Ebay doesn't go above £5 including postage, as that is all I am going to spend on whichever of the 11 items I'm watching that I end up buying.

Anyone wanting cheap kids clothes, but really nice ones, there's a fab 'deal' available through Vertbaudet at the moment: £10 off a £10 spend and free delivery... i.e. free stuff!

Excludes 'happy price', sale reduced items and web exclusives. Enter code 2719 at checkout, click the 'new customer' box every time. There aren't many £10 items but there are lots of things for £11 so you pay just £1 for those.

There's a chance they may cancel some orders, but worth a gamble, nothing to lose. I've had loads from them in the past - you can register as a new customer lots of times! Beware, sizes can be VERY small so order bigger than you think you need.

Anyone else?!

Just had this:

We regret to inform you that due to exceptional demand we are unable to fulfil
your order for the item(s) shown below. We are sorry to disappoint you, and
hope that you will accept our sincere apologies.

Boooo

I debated whether or not to join this challenge as clothes are my biggest weakness. I am off to the Trafford Centre this morning, I have decided if I come home with nothing I am going to join you guys, if I do make a few purchases then I will already admit defeat!
You lot are doing fab already, keep it up!!

Thank you Lula Hula for adding me to your challenge. I had a look in my wardrobe last night and am telling myself I can and will do this! I have plenty stuff in there already to keep me going, and even stuff a size smaller if I do manage to stick to the new year diet! I have decided to get myself a wee jar and put £2 per week in it from this Saturday 10th Jan and if I do that each Saturday it will be £100 up to 19 Dec! What my plan is, if I really want or need something to wear I will only use the money that is in the jar (apart from birthday money etc of course!), so if I see a top say that a really want which costs £20 but I only have £14 in the jar then I wont be able to get it until I have £20 in there, by which time I may have gone off the top anyway! :rotfl: Anyway, thank you for adding me and letting me join in in your great idea. I will come on regularly and will enjoy reading everyone's progress.
