The 2010 crazy clothes challenge

ThinkingOfLinking

If you lot could see how much clothing I've binned or given to charity this week, you'd die of shock.

Got more items I am going to attempt to sell on eBid next week and if they then don't sell, I'm giving them ALL to charity.

Spooky - hadn't read your post before but last night I dreamt I was in York, I was shopping but my boyfriend wouldn't let me go in the Cath Kidston shop, I was super cross with him this morning when I woke up!

Well I've spent some more money! £22 to report please.
I bought 3 T-shirts and 2 black vest-type things from B*nmarche - not very fashionable I know but these are my Summer basics.
For the first time I'm beginning to feel that I don't have much money left though the only things I would like are perhaps another pair of cropped trousers (don't look good in shorts!) and a dress but I think I'll try the charity shops for dresses.
Time to have a proper sort out of the wardrobe if I'm going to make the challenge!

Happy shopping!

Well done debbie, i always spend in york , its bad i know.
Well my only spend some underwear (£3.50 out of asda) as the washing machine ate them all up for its lunch :mad:.
Now i have a new washer hopefully it won't happen any more.

Id have been devastated if the tumble drier had eaten my fave top.

Well going to cash a cheque, wish me luck its surrounded by clothes and charity shops :eek:

Hi all, well I've totally lost track with my spending tbh, but not going to beat myself up as I've not spent as much as I normally would have! Got some holiday clothes to buy but will try and keep my spends to a minimum.

Taking a break for a while, so if I don't post it doesn't mean I've fallen off the wagon, ha! Good luck everyone x

Still on the wagon, but planned weightloss to fit in all old clothes is failing a bit miserably!

Hiya

Got 3 tops for the summer from next so £17.25 to add to my total. They will be for both work and non work so I will declare them - had gone for things for just work but decided I liked these and they were a good price.

So many lovely things in the shops for summer - but I will slim down to get into my summer clothes and thereby saving me money!

I've earnt another £14.84 on eBay, so the total is going the right way :j But I'm going shopping on Saturday, so we'll see what I come out like on the other side!

Well,
I am going to be attempting to sell loads of unwanted clothes, shoes and accessories online next week:

I need the money
I need the space
I need less stuff to have to haul all around the UK when I move house next.

I have things I've never worn which I've moved from city to city, house to house and for what?! Bye-bye!! Anything which doesn't sell is off to Oxfam...job done!!
