The 2010 crazy clothes challenge

smiler34

Hi can I join for next year, I'm sure I often buy clothes for want rather than need.

been bad,thought I'd end the year as I started it:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
phase eight sale is on so ordered a few necessaties:rotfl::rotfl:
a sequin dress which for some reason had £36 marked on it even tho they charged me £50!!!! did not matter tho as too big:(ended up with 2 camis and a silk shrug:):):)
my excuse is I need cheering as DS1 is stuck in the USA after his flight was cancelled for 23rd and re booked for 26th so he wont get here till the 28th:(:(:( and then this am DS2 told me he was off to his girl's for Christmas:eek::mad::mad:....turkey anyone???

Aww rosemary, that is such a shame about your DS being stuck in US How annoying that t'other one left his decision until the last minute too. Hope you manage to enjoy yourself in your fab new goodies - think DS2 should pay for them to make up for being so inconsiderate - yep, anyway we can offload our spends is fine by me

I have been reading everyone's posts, but just not got my brain around updating totals yet & plan to get christmas out of the way first. I am off work until the 4th so will have time to pass out awards to all achievers while rosemary & I share the naughty step :rotfl: I bought a couple of pairs of leggings recently but will have to go to first page to check my balance as shame forced me to remove my own total from my sig

I will also be getting a clothes challenge for 2011 ( am I mad or what :rotfl:) started up in the next week too. I'm suggesting that everyone set their own targets & contents next year & I will allocate numbers & maintain a list on the front page.

My own budget is going to be outrageous - but it will become clear why when I set the challenge up

Not sure if it should be on the main DFW board or with diaries ??

Anyway, it's time for us all to just chill out a bit so wishing a

Merry Christmas to you all

Hey Puss14,

well done on such a low spend no weight loss here either * sighs*. Will be setting new challenge up tomorrow, but everyone decides their own budget, so just let me know what yours will be & I'll add you to the list

Happy New Year to you

****creeps in quietly*** Do you remember me from 2009??

I didn't take part in 2010 but the good news is I hardly spent anything on clothes last year and thought long and hard about what I bought and if I could get it cheaper and did I need it?

Well as 2011 is going to be a big debt busting year (that's the plan anyway) I feel I need to rejoin if you're running the challenge again next year. I need to keep on track more than ever.

On the good side I am saving up for some Dubarry Galway Boots for next winter by allocating £20 per month in the Sealed Pot Challenge as my winter boots will just about hang on for this winter and I'll get these for next winter by paying hard saved cash - boy will I appreciate them, if they fit around my calves that is!

I bought summer shoes from amazon a month or so ago - Rockport sandal for around £7-£12 per pair and have them neatly stored ready for spring and summer.

Also have a pile of clothes to sell on ebay now have a camera again to use for money neutral funds or debt repayment

Need to have a think about what I'll need for this year and set a budget for this. Probably T-Shirts/tops/ summer stuff most likely. Got some lovely jumpers for Christmas and a new jacket to wear until it falls apart so I think I'm ok for coats and jackets judging by the spare room ones that I've hardly worn!

Hope you're all ok and have done well this year x

Welcome back oh prodigal fedupandskint

Some people have been great this year, sadly, I'm not one of them :rotfl:

Never mind, I've sussed out my weakness now ( all clothes, shoes & accessories) so will be trying out a new system to keep me in line.

PS - Happy Christmas rosemary
