Do you happen to know the brand you buy? I'd be much obliged :beer:

If you are talking tights they are 80 deiner (I think, which ever are the highest & have lycra I know it isn't the 100 as they don't stretch) I buy 6 pairs every year they seem to last the whole year.

I know some of you love handbags, but have you ever walked through a shop, holding a conversation and got distracted by the handbag stand.Cos I did, and my mate won't let me live it down...I even went "Oooh, handbags" (they were 15 euros too - this was in finland - and I got a lovely soft buttery yellow one)

Ooh, I love the period coming up to New Year - we're all so keen :rotfl:

I think I failed at the £100 challenge last year, but must have been no more than £120 all year, so think I did quite well really :A

Can you put me down for £100 again please for personal clothes? I am now going to have to find a pair of decent jeans in the sales before January 1st

*holds hand up*

DD even does this great imitation of me going "ooooh bags" & says I just wander off transfixed I keep telling her that you can never have too many bags or shoes but she just rolls her eyes & say "ok you've told me that before, but most people dont name their bags too ... " Really I just assumed that everyone did :shhh:

Lula, my favourite bag has a name so tell DD you're not alone in the lunatic asylum!!!! I can wander around bag shops/areas in department stores for ages and can often be found gazing (drooling) into the window of a very expensive bag shop near to where I live ..........

count me in on the challenge - but mine will include ALL clothing! Thankfully I work in retail and have access to sample sales so will only by what is needed (if anything) on sale... I would include my other half and my two boys but while I have sorted out my wedding dress (making it) I have not bought their stuff yet so here is my challenge to myself:

£400 for the whole family (excluding shoes, 6th form suits & wedding gear for future hubby and 2 teenage sons!)

Tip for anyone - I have loads of M&S clothing and I only recycle at Oxfam as I get a £5 off voucher everytime... if I know I need to buy something I use the donate that month and use the £5! I also scour charity shops for handbags - you will be surprised what you can pick up for under £5!

Count me in please.

I don't post much (or at all) but am determined to take up challenges and stick to them, and get over the shyness and post

As a stay at home mum (for now) £100 is more than enough, my 2 girls (1 & 3) will have a combined budget of £300 (this will include everything, underwear, party dresses etc)

I'm looking forward to this challenge

Think I need to join this one too. £100 will be doable if I put my mind to it and lose a few pounds too!! Have got 2 pairs of jeans upstairs that I can't get into - and I can't keep calling it baby weight as she was one last week:rotfl::rotfl:!!! Have got a couple of weddings next year, but again if I lose a few pounds I've got several perfectly good (a couple still with tags on!:o) outfits in my wardrobe! So count me in!!
