Hello you fabby peeps,

Happy New Clothes to all :j & welcome to Moremoneythansense, kst101 & complimentschemistry :wave:

FirstTimeSaver - frankly, I wouldnt count that hen night t shirt - it's not like you wanted it for yourself

Blimus - I'll add your £8 back in

rosemary54 - I'm currently avoiding the figleaves website as I'm still trying to forget the large amount of money I spent there a while back

I'm off to spend some quality time with my calculator & the front page to update the totals, & there are goodies from New Look on their way to me ... but I will 'try before I buy' so no declaration needed yet

Bye for now
xx

Lula,
I only went on the site as they had the 20% off offer plus quidco,I needed to replace the most unsexiest bra ever(Fantasie moulded t shirt number)

I wore a new one of these whilst out for a meal on a cruise(actually an old fishing boat with only 16 of us...whole other story!)BIG mistake......as it was new it was tight on the band and after the meal I had really bad indigestion,only helped by undoing the bra.....this thing stands up on its own so looked like suddenly become Jayne Mansfield...(..big boobed lady for you younger ladies!) had to shuffle back to the boat behind OH who did not know what on earth was going on:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:now I waer new bras in before holidays/meals etc

I had exactly the same issue rosemary, with a strapless bra at my work Christmas do last year. Its a very good strapless as it stays put, but I hadn't factored in the amount we were going to be eating! Ended up leaving the dancing earlier than intended just so I could take it off!

Now wondering if its safe to wear to a wedding in the middle of May or whether I should come up with another solution!

I know I am already a lost cause:rotfl:but east had a free delivery/free kaften offer this weekend and I am going on holiday soon:j:j:j

so I ordered a few things,including a pair of green sandel type shoes the same as red ones I bought a while ago,some camis,and a white top as I only have 1 and have to keep washing it to wear at choir.

well the camis turned out to be different colours to what they looked like online so 2 are going back which means the "free" kaften has to go too or I will get charged for it but as it was much too small and I am not mad on kaftens anyway I am not worried,I still got the free delivery:):):)so total spend was £36 as claiming white top as a church item and exempt from total:AI think I must have spent £200 now then this year which is still good for me compared with previous years and I was not tempted to try and find more east stuff to keep kaften,in fact am returning by post so won't even go to the store:)

Hi Lula,
I found M&S's little bit of a sale, but was very frugal because there was so little choice .
- lush satin & lace waist slip £7 but not counted
- skirt that I will only wear for work £7
- short sleeved blouse that I am declaring as it will go anywhere £7

I've updated my sig.

No spends for me - can't believe how restrained I am being. Got slippers and wellies for DS yesterday and looked around the clothes shops with mum as she had vouchers to spend but didn't buy anything for myself.

Will look to but a couple of summer tops in May but they will be for work so I won't be counting them - but I am determined they will be good value even though I don't have to count them lol.
