The 2010 crazy clothes challenge

Swinstie73

Hi all, not been around much as I'm ashamed to say that on top of things I had already bought this year, I have spent my entire yearly budget in the last 3 weeks! I have failed big time, but I will try and not spend much more *fingers crossed * the rest of the year

Rosemary that's evil, fancy coming on saying tut tut (........................saunters off green with envy)

I was going to buy some new cardi for myself and guess what i got given four by a friend who's having a clear out!:j:D

Oh i managed to restrain myself and NOT go to the sales, took all my will to avoid them. While at the same time doing my left knee in and i'm now wandering around with crutches. So this week not only have got 20 NSD's i aint spent money on clothes.

May be i should do myself in more often :rotfl:

actually I was not that bad!How come when you go with evil intent (and money) you don't see anything you like????:(JL was a dead loss(1 potato ricer!)Kew and Phase 8 had nothing I fancied apart from shoes that did not fit:(EAst sale had not started,neither had Marks.

I did "buy" a top at Next that I thought had been discontinued so was v pleased to see(bought with a voucher earned by surveys so don't count it)and a skirt £30 down from £60 and top £17 down from £35 from LA.
By the time I had done all these shops my feet were killing and I was passing out from heat stroke!Also found a new tKMaxx but it was a load of old tutt!!!!

did spot a settee in L.A so not a wasted trip

wilol be bad again soon when ySL bonus time starts:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Thanks Rosemary. Do you know it clicked about 5 mins after I posted...I can be so slow sometimes..... I've even ordered some wallpaper from there in the sale for my new flat. I was thinking of one colourway but that was still £18.90 (from £27) but when I saw eau de nil for £10 I decided that was a much nicer colour

Hi all,
Been busy and been bad!!
Disposed of even more stuff but have bought:
Cath Kidston satchel for uni (in the sale though)
5 summer dresses
Leggings and cycling shorts (of which I had none til now so not too bad)
1 essential blouse for work
Some jewellery; I had virtually none and it's all Primark cheap bits
2 strapless bras from M&S (I had none and it only comes in a 2 pack).
I've spent about £200-£300 in the last month but that's me done til Autumn when I'll need a jacket and some knitwear. Got enough of everything else to last me...other than decent work shoes which are comfy.

Hi everyone, off to Leeds today and spending will be inevitable as my mum and sis are both shopaholics! My wardrobe is looking pretty threadbare though as I have had another purge, so as long as I keep within the budget it will be fine... will think of you on here, please send your no-spend vibes this way!!

I'll let you off then Rosemary, i hate that too, at christmas i had money to burn, and yet did i find anything nope not a thing. I love LA, went back it yesterday but i managed to restrain myself but only just.

Peeps i have a dilemma i've a bag on ethical superstore and i really want it, my bank balance is saying no, my heart is yearning for it. Its fairtrade as well which is why its so hard.

It was £32.95 but its in the sale for £9.88
What do you think, its more of a winter bag though.
