got a job as " meeter and greeter" at a conference tomorrow so extra cash in hand,thing is can I put it towards extra clothes allowance?

( have been so good and not spent any of my £100 yet.............okay I know it is only the 4th of Feb and I started a month late on the 1st of Feb!!!!!!!!!)

fed up as brand new cooker installed last week has a fault and the fan is on all the time:mad:....very nice man is sending someone to fix it on monday tho,just annoying as my last new cooker also had lots of faults and kept having them which is why I bought a new one just before the vat went up.

Got a few abandoned baskets of my own to join yours Lula, spent ages looking at Debenhams sale stuff today but the thought of spoiling my nice zero balance put me off!

Personally I wouldn't, the challenge isn't really about making more money to feed the habit, as much as it is kicking the habit of buying clothes when we don't need them. Think of where else that oney could go. I make about £800 a month extra income from selling stuff on ebay, writting reviews etc, if I put that towards clothes this challenge would be a cake walk!

Still have my £100. My fiance offered to buy me some clothes for my birthday but I turned him down, I don't need them. I have to say I found January really hard but going cold turkey has REALLY made a difference I didn't expect. So I spent the birthday money on a new roll of canvas and some pliers so I can start making custom frames.

Aargh, had sale email from Koodos.. there's a bra that should be £109 for £10 (plus £5.99 postage).. but I don't need it....

I am checking out a couple of coats and a top on Ebay - one of the coats would be for Spring so I will ask my parents to buy it for my birthday if it isn't too expensive.
The top I will only buy if it is cheap - it is a very different top to anything I own and would go with a lot of things. The other coat is lovely - I would buy this as an investment piece although it shouldn't be any more than £35. I will see how I get on - I dont want to spend too much so soon!

Just to say I have been reading another post on a shopoholic thread by NGlady who recommended this swap shop - http://www.bigwardrobe.com/
Looks fantastic and I will certainly be putting some of my clothes on there instead of Ebay!

£109 for a bra :eek: Is it one of those ones with extra architectural support (a bit like what I need)
