It's hard isn't it - still getting loads of sale emails from clothes places (and Boots can b*gger off with their half price sale too). I'm trying to distract myself by doing surveys instead - earn money not spend money!

Good plan ... I keep getting screened out at the moment & then get fed up.

Gratefulforhelp - thank you :A As if by magic a knock at the door revealed Postie ( still in his shorts - not even snow & ice gets him into trousers ) with my 99p dress from ebay so I can now go & play with that for while ... & also empty the washing machine :rolleyes:

bye for now

glad to see everyone is still doing well. I'm actually finding it quite easy so far as i got some clothes for christmas. The snow and the sales have made me not want to go anywhere near shops too!

Not a happy Lula

The dress which I paid 99p for ( although sale price was actually 2.99 - I had paypal cash) is not in good condition. There's a button missing - fabric covered so not replaceable - & it's very worn at the seams & in fact there's an obvious hole in one place :mad:.

Have emailed seller making my discontent clear & now awaiting for suggestions to resolve ... before leaving scathing feedback. Dont see why I should spend more money returning the item - particulalry when the seller doesnt refund postage already spent :mad:.

*resolves to clear debt even quicker so never has to shop on ebay again either :rolleyes:*

I spent £16 on clothes today, but it's ok, as I made £30 selling some on ebay! So I'm still out of the £100, and in fact have £114 left (And I got some nice underwear, but that's another story)

Very annoying, I bought a top once from someone who clearly chaninsmoked and hadn't washed it. She swore blind she didn't have a smoker in the house.

been very good not spent anything on clothes either

I found the final reduction rail in M&S today (on my way to lunch with DH, honest!)

Red Portfolio dress was £39.50.............£3
another Portfolio dress was £39.50........£3
Portfolio skirt, was £29.50...................£3
full-price trousers, ............................£5 (confusing, but bargain)
SUBTOTAL = £14

BUT....... tomorrow I will return the red dress that I bought earlier in the sale so the rest of the sum will read:
Returned Red Portfolio dress -£19

IN CREDIT £5 :D:D

So, in summary, still no spend!

I just spent 60p on a fleece from a charity shop.
I'm not taking it off my total though as it wasn't for me.
It was a baby's fleece for my elderly cat who is feeling the cold
even more than me!I think that'll be a one off!Don't plan to start a wardrobe for him!:D
