    A tip for anyone out there, my friend recently gave me a big pile of clothes she no longer wanted, she used to work in retail so had to buy clothes from the shop for uniform. I am making her a jewellery set in return from beads I already have, so it resulted in a nice pile of free clothes for me!

    Great tip cookiedough, will have to dig out my box of beads :j

  • I bought a coat for 14.99

    Does that count?

    Nevertheless she persisted.

    Too wet to take my arthritic-y knees out in the cold today, so I went to play in the wardrobe (not quite literally;)) & also sorted out my chest of drawers.

    To summarize: still no spend on clothes, I found a bag of tights that I'd forgotten about :o, I've recycled some dead t-shirts, underwear & 2 dreary nighties :rolleyes: and ALL my socks are now in pairs :D

    That glow on the westerly horizon is my halo :rotfl::rotfl:

    luxor, if you have any free time, I have a wardrobe (or two:o:o) that could do with sorting out :rotfl::rotfl:

    Well done :j

    Hey Buffy,

    coats dont count if they are of the 'keeping you warm as outerwear' variety :) ... however, if it's not for a practical purpose then it does count :(


    Please dont hate me :cry:

    Well I only have the 10 quid George coat and it is falling apart(lining) - I realised this this morning when I looked in the mirror and it was all creased and minus buttons etc so when I saw this one in the sale for 14.99 I just thought sod it.

    but I think I shall count it. (unless things get desperate!!)

    No, you cant count it. You need a coat to keep warm on your way to work.
