The 2010 crazy clothes challenge

chuggingtongirl

Hello Everyone

I have ebayed quite a bit of clothes ..... due to weightloss : ) Im really happy as I found laods of old clothes which arent my style anymore so ebayed them adn now just gone through my wardrobe being really strict withmyself and got another pile for ebay and a pile for charity : )

Please can I add some of the money to my total to boost it as I used some of it to replace the things I ebayed - just different sizes! if that makes sense?

Although I wont make a habit of it as I do have loads to ebay and would prefer to use the money towards other treats.I have enough clothes now unless my diet goes ultra-well!

So my new total will be £85.87

Hope everyones doing okay.

Hi rosemary54,

Stay strong, and remember that your goal is to save enough money to pay for your trip which I'm sure will bring you much more worthwhile enjoyment.

Stay focused, (and get a hot water bottle).

Our charity shops are pretty rubbish too! It's either rather expensive or just junk - or both!

Lula, thank you!

I've not had any new spends these last few days and can safely say I wont be buying anything new this week. I am hoping to eBid some items of clothing sooner rather than later. I am also going to have several NSDs this week as I am going to basically be at home from Monday night through til maybe Friday or Saturday if not even Sunday!! That £440 PAYG iPhone will be mine ASAP.

Spent £2.50 on school shirt for DD. Not doing too bad so far. But she also needs pr of school trousers and new jeans. So we'l see how we do.
Hope everyone is well and not overspending.

Hello lovelies,

well done with your ebay profits chuggington :A Happy New Clothes :jto all who have them & excellent restraint to those who havent.

Weight loss remains my main target as regards clothes. I have so many & really enjoy being creative & putting new outfits togethr from what I have, but I just dont have the confidence to wear with flair until yet.

I still believe that keeping away from temptation is the easiest way to avoid spending. I'm lucky in that I can do my grocery shopping without going near clothes, shoes, bags or accessories so will try very hard to only go into town once a month & then I can spend my £7.83 or however much I've earned :rotfl:


Off to update totals, bye for now

Hi everyone

Just been catching up on last week's posts - haven't managed to get on here much as I've had a busy week at work.

Loads of bargains being had (as usual) and some serious overspending going on (Blondie, you know who you are!!!!). Well done to everyone for shopping in their wardrobes and/or altering things they already have - we're all becoming inventive again.

I've still spent nothing because, although I have been round the shops:
a) I can't find anything I like
b) as someone else said, it's too flippin' cold to be changing in changing rooms:eek: and I don't do online shopping..

Luxor, chair is definitely still on offer as wardrobes still need sorting out..

Have a good rest of the weekend everyone, stay strong and RESIST THOSE BARGAINS ... THINK ABOUT SUMMER, YOU'LL NEED SOME CLOTHES THEN...

Hi everyone , well i'm working today and so I can safely say my Clothes spending for January will be £0.00 !!! How pleased am I.

Unfortunatley my favourate bra is at risk of becoming a front opener and has been binned. However I do have loads of others so i don't need to rush out and buy another. Indeed whilst I was rooting through my 3 underwear drawers I found a couple of wonderbras still with tags that i don't remember buying.

Thanks for this thread , it helping me keep focused - even when i am in coast and monsoon !

Having 2 pairs of trousers altered to fit instead of buying new ones. They will be okay to wear for Spring then.

having decluttered my wardrobe a couple of weeks ago and taken four black bin bags to the charity shop I am still left with
37 tops
four coats
four jackets
9 pairs of trousers,
4 'posh going out outfits
5 skirts,
8 pairs of shoes five pairs of slippers
1 drawer full of knickers (around 20 pairs )
6 bras (had a good throwout of my pre mastectomy bras)
14 pairs of socks
8 nighties
4 pairs of pyjamas
2 dressing gowns
6 swimsuits
so I think I can safely say I will not be buying ANY clothes in 2010
Yay :):)
