    If they are any good to you I have some Tesco Clothing money off coupons. We had a spending spree on clothes in March for our hols so won't be buying any for a while. They are valid until the 6th June.
    There is one for £4 off £20 spend, one for £5 off £25 spend, one for £6 off £30 spend and finally £10 off £50 spend.
    I would rather give them away than waste them. If you want them forward me your address and i will get them straight in the post.

    Next clearance shops are pretty good, I got a top that was £29 for £2.99 a couple of weeks ago. I can sympathise because I have gone from a size 18 to 14 and I have only one decent work suit at the moment which is a nightmare. I want to lose a bit more before splashing out on suits.

  • Have you tried freecycle - theres sometimes clothes on there with peoples weight going up/down. I've seen people advertise smart work suits.

    Is there not some sort of 'swap shop' that you can rig into, where you can swap nearly news with someone else, just for postage costs??

    why not have a clothes swap party with all your fat friends - they get your fat clothes and you get their skinny clothes that they are keeping 'just in case they lose this flab'
    well done for losing all the weight - the secret is to keep it off.
    I have a goal - I have to lose 4 stone by August 2007 (significant birthday ending with 0) I lost 1 stone already adn need to lose another by August this year. Better stop spending my evenings on here and get on my exercise machine instead....

  • If you have one locally, and you can get membership, try CostCo. They have really good quality stuff in there too from time to time.

    Hope this helps.

    Thanks everyone for all your tips!

    In the end I bought myself 8 shirts for £32 from Asda, I don't think that's too bad for an entire work wardrobe!

    They're mostly about £4-£5 each in there so I'd recommend it for anyone looking for something cheap but smart!
