The 2010 crazy clothes challenge

Swinstie73

Hey Fairysnow, where did you get your cardigan? I have a longline one from New Look (the no button type) and it's great but starting to look bobbly after only a few wears! Took me ages to find one first time around.

I maybe making a purchase today but not included as it's lingerie, or more to the point a pair of Spanx cos I'm sick of my muffin top. I have a nice 'fake' wrap dress that I could wear but when I put it on it just clings in all the wrong places, so it's between a pair of Spanx or a new decent wrap dress, decisions decisions!

Just returned from helping my friend at the table top in the village. She made over £90 once she paid £5 for the table - and I think about £35ish was just in clothes! And she was just going to give them to charity first before I stopped her!

We priced things low to sell as she mega down sizing in a week or two - Jeans £1 pair - casual stuff £1 and smart stuff £2 a couple of coats at a £5 each(sold 1 too!)-

Plus we took our own bacon sarnies for breakfast and a packed lunch and two huge flasks of coffee and tea so that saved money.

And bless her she gave me a £5 for helping which she did not need to do but she was so chuffed by the profit she made- it will help with the admin costs of moving.

And I have to report that ..............................I was good girl and I did not buy a thing either!:Aand it really did not bother me - had soooo much fun!

So I actually in profit by £5! Yay!

things I wish I had never told my husband,
1/ that I am on the £100 clothes challenge!!!!!!!!!

I don't ask him for money for clothes so he can't complain if I fall off the wagon but when I mentioned the clothes I had seen in the Kew catalogue he siad no you only have £100 for the year :(:(:(

once in a blue moon I get to shop at Boundary Mill (about and hour and a half away),he keeps saying oh its been closed down/burnt down/blown up etc etc, trouble is 1 day a freind believed him and the story went round the village and upset several ladies !!!!!

That sounds like great fun! And well done you! I think at those prices, I might have folded and bought all of your friend's clothes Now, I wonder if there's one of them around me... (I've ruled out car boots as I'm not a morning person and I'm pretty sure the whole thing would be over before I managed to get there And because the sticky on the forum here scared me; I don't think I'd like people swooping around me and my wee car!)

I have been so good this year and not gone on ebay till today. i must remember not too go on there any more but the skirt is a bargain if i get it.
It would cost me more in bus fares to go shopping for one. well thats what i keep telling myself:rotfl:

Hahaha, Raven. Completely understand. Have bid on a swimming costume (which is fine, my current one is too big so I'd raather avoid being asked to leave the pool or getting arrested )

But then I had to have a look at the other things the seller had listed and there's a gorgeous top... which I definitely don't need! Was tempted to ask if there was a reduction for combined postage but have refrained. Still a while to go on the swimming costume so I might survive this one yet
