The 2010 crazy clothes challenge

shrimpy_80

Had the day off today and had to go into town for a MS but didn't go in any shops :Aso still at £0.

debbie and silver - hope you feel better soon.

Plus thanks to this thread there is nothing in my ironing pile and all of my clothes are hanging neatly in my wardrobe.

*slovenly habit alert* This is the first time the ironing pile has been empty in nearly a year :o (double embarassed face)

It made me realise how many of my clothes I don't really even like and just bought because they were cheap! I am on my way to becoming a fully reformed character...

Had a real urge to buy some smart grey trousers today, to replace a pair I have practically worn out. Went to Matalan straight from work, but then realised I didn't have any cash or cards, except 90p! Had a look around anyway, but couldn't see anything.

So....I thought I could quickly pop to M&S to see if they had any. But I managed to distract myself, and, as an antidote, phoned my mum for a chat.

Still no spend!! Whoo!!

Need to update my total spent - it's back to £0!!!
I still hadn't received the skirt I bought on 1st jan online and so it has been refunded as they are assuming it's lost in the post! A shame as it was a lovely skirt, but good that I still have £100 whole pounds and nearly a month in....whoooooo!! :T

I have 2.00 to declare. Brought some earings from Pilot... wore them for about 2hours then they dropped to bits lol.

Take them back, then you'll have £2 extra again! i have terrible luck with jewellery, unless i buy really expensive stuff i always break it fairly quickly!

Yeah it would be! I have got a parcel to collect from the sorting office on saturday but I think it's a late birthday pressie from my sister....but maybe, just maybe it'll be the skirt...fingers crossed!

Hi everyone,
I've not been around much, the whole house has been ill with one thing or another, which is not very good for our health ... but ... means that i haven't been to the shops :j or out to lunch, so i still have my £100 :j

I have dd's 3rd birthday party on Sunday and have resisted the urge to buy a new outfit, it's only a few friends and family but usually I wold have spent £60 on clothes. I keep looking at my wardrobe longingly hoping that my fairy godmother will place a new outfit in there for me ..nothing yet, the silly cow must have forgotten about me :rotfl:

Have asked for clothes for dd's birthday so that should keep her going for a while, and my mum and nan tend to buy both dd's a top or piece of clothing every other week from supermarket so i still have their fund intact.

I am feeling quite happy about this and am determined not to buy any clothes for the next 4 weeks now

My husband is worried about me, not only did I not make it to the charity shop on Monday (did chores instead!); we actually went to a large shopping centre today to get our daughter a new pair of school shoes and not only did I not spend anything I didn't drag him in every ladies shop from here to kingdom come!!!

Actually, am I myself anymore??? )

You're still you, just The New You! :T

Hello I did this challenge latst year or a similar one and would love to do it this year as I felt it really helped and I did it ....yeah
So please can you add me to the list ???

I will be doing it for myself for £100 this year and £200 for my 3 year old , as she grows out of clothes so easily and her shoes and school uniform seem to add up so I think I will have hers to more than mine

I have absoloutley tons of clothes to get rid of out of our wardrobes so it will make me focus on getting rid of them on Ebay and car boots so I can buy new ones whilst also de cluttering - { which I also desperately need to do :eek: }

I plan really to not spend £100 this year on clothes , yet I have some vouchers lying around so I am going to get them together and try and buy as much as I need for the next few months with them so I hopefully wont spend anything . Will see thow as I love looking for a bargain ....and Primark seems to be a killer for me sometimes as all the under a fiver bargains add up when I get to the till ....lol
