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

......Well done to all who havent spent anything at all & Happy NEW Clothes to luxor4t who's shopping savvy is exemplary :A

:o:o Thankyou!

I put my "savvy" down to M&S vouchers for Christmas and all last year's practice at [STRIKE]cheating[/STRIKE] ...umm...[STRIKE]pushing the boundaries[/STRIKE] ...creative shopping



edited to add: I'm avoiding on-line temptation by ironing...it's amazing what was in my ironing basket including lots of wearable clothes - well, wearable if crinolines, hobble skirts or flapper dresses come back into style. Got to go, DH is trying to iron his spats....

Spent £7.50 on 3 polo t shirts in Primark, £15.50 so far.

I have to echo what niksyg said, please put up a photo of your cat wearing the fleece, it would cheer all us non-spenders up so much :rotfl::rotfl:

Hi all,
Still managed to spend nothing as I haven't been out of the house due to the bl**dy snow (or ice). Surprisingly I haven't been tempted by online shopping either, I must be coming down with something...

Well done to everyone on your bargains, especially luxor4t, you are a genius - can I take you shopping with me when I decide to venture out?

Lula - really sorry about the dress, that's a real pain.

Take care everyone.

Was unfortunately tempted by M&S sale whilst being stuck in by snow. If I keep any items I'll declare them.

I've been waiting to join this challenge since the start of the year as i had a sales shopping trip planned to Birmingham yesterday with some friends.As it was the trains were soooo horrendously delayed that we only had 2 hours shopping time so I was unable to spend much! I guess every cloud has a silver lining.
For some reason this challenge scares me more than any of the others, but clothes are my downfall so i have to do it.I dont have any need for more, i've got loads, plus my sister and mum pass things on to me. Also, one of my goals is to lose 3 stone this year & I have some smaller clothes put aside for when I do, i expect i will have to spend some money when i've lost the weight but i dont need to till then. Can always make some money ebaying clothes that are too big anyway!

Ramble over, please count me in for £150.

Its my Birthday tomorrow and my lovely workmates bought me a £15 clothes voucher, so may be tempted in the sales today- and it won't count towards this challenge- yay!
So still no spend so far!

Spent £13.50 on DS yesterday, four pairs of trackie bottoms (potty training again soon) and two fleece tops.

Still nothing for me though, I had ordered £290 worth of stuff from Next before the start of the challenge, and much to the disgust of the sales assistant, I took the whole lot back yesterday

Still havn't spent anything. Oooh! i am a little goody two shoes. lol. Talking about shoes though my DD needs school shoes so as soon as this weather improves and i can get to a reasonably size town i will have to spend then.
But so far so good.
