    Yes Please I am in as well....I like to think I don't spend vast amounts on clothes, but I do have the odd weak moment when it comes to seasonal sales!!!

    I think I should join this one too, spent too much this year on clothes that I (mostly) didn't really need. I'm going to include work clothes as well though - a lot of things I wear at work and home, like tops and jumpers - and shoes, underwear etc. Eek :eek:

    Right Lula, Count me in. £100 for home clothes is enough. I have loads and ebay a lot. Will need to limit my work spend too as my discount in new job is AMAZING and could easily go a bit mad. Will have a think on that and let you know. Good luck with the challenge all, especially Sarahb123!

    Add me in to this. I have more than enough clothes and am hoping I'll ebay those that'll NEVER fit/never been worn much, and keep the ones I'm gonna fit into.

    I'm in, I'll count work clothes in with it as my place is casual and I wear the same, in and out of work!

    I've got a big trip possibly planned later in year which will require clothes shopping so hoping to save my money for that and then go to bargain-tastic outlet villages.
    I've got my own flat :j:j

    Now I have to pay the bills :eek:

    And feed my interiors addiction ;)
