The 2010 crazy clothes challenge

ThinkingOfLinking

I got 2 pairs of PJ bottoms from Tesco at £5 each but these were needed as I live in them; I spend most of my time at home lounging around in PJs. Other than this, I have nothing to declare.

Debs how impressive. I can't do traveeling light at all. I even need a huge handbag and a seperate carrier bag to go to work!!! When I holiday repped my mates all had to help with my tons of bags/cases/washing baskets etc!!!

Funny thing is I thought I couldn't either - but it was either pay loads extra for baggage allowance(cheap flights anyway)but wear everything and probably not all of it or just take the basics and have a cheap holiday
So no frills holiday = no frills holiday wardrobe (and it works)

Just took extra scarves & costume jewellery to brighten basics up.

Now am confident that if you told me I was going away for a week(long as you told me where!) and had an hour to pack I could do it as most of it is kept in a bottom drawer -into a rucksack and away!

So camping with the Girl Guides taught me something;)

But until this challenge my day to day wear was a nightmare- not at all organised -clothes strewn everywhere,not ironed,all jumbled up - but now I keep it all ironed,put away, I can actually "shop" in my wardrobe. :j

I take care & pride in my clothes now whether brand new,charity,hand-me-downs,primarni or branded - thank you Lula-Hula for keeping us on track:T

Well, I have got all my clothes out and sorted through them, put them in bags according to size, to store in the loft for when I lose weight!

If/when that happens, I too will "shop" from my own wardrobe.

eta no spends to report.

Oh Gratefulforhelp I have just finished doing that today too. I already had some clothes in the attic which I have sorted through and have one carrier bag for the recycle, one carrier for oxfam (full of M&S clothes) and a big black bin liner for the local hospice shop. have also catalogued and stored all the clothes I don't fit into space saver bags and OH is going to put them all up in the attic for me next weekend. Its amazing how much space I have and I know that when I lose weight I too will be able to shop from my sttic. I also have a load of clothes to go on Ebay (stuff I know I will never fit into again although still lovely) so will start listing them to put on when they have the next 1p listing day.

Its taken me a couple of weeks to sort through it all but I feel great for having done it even though I am a little sad that there are so many beautiful things there that I can't wear:(

And me, maisie. I'm really annoyed with myself.

Amen, student loan went in....so I bought a pair of shorts, they should last me through the summer and only £13 for a pair of Bench ones

Right, my top and jeggings arrived from Tesco, decided I like them, so am declaring them £6.80, so my new total is £13.30 for the year so far :j

Hello all,
I hope everyone's been enjoying the sunshine as much as me

We went out for a bike ride but it was cut short as it seems that since DD's bike went in for a service, the pedals are now coming loose, so it will have to go back again tomorrow :mad:.

We also had a quick shopping trip to town & I fell prey to some cheap linen trousers for work - only £16 for the pair & they will co ordinate with various tops I have. My work clothes budget is now down to £29 which is indeed scary, I want to get a couple of nice blouses & maybe a pair of cropped trousers, then I think that will have to do.

I've a couple of bids on some jeans on ebay as I have temporarily given up worrying about getting back into my old ones. This will coincide nicely with the new Sods Law Diet whereby as soon as I buy some new jeans that I really love in a larger size, then I will typically lose enough weight to make them nasty & saggy .

Happy New Clothes :j to all that have them, enjoy your purchases & I'll be back to declare a new total if my bids are succesful.
