    No new spends for me.
  • Just spent £61 of M and S reward vouchers, though only 8 of it on me, and bought tights, so no spend still.

    picked up 4 swimsuits in tesco(2 sizes of 2 styles to try) but when i got to the check out I saw 1 had a mark on so only bought 3 to avoid problems returning which meant I had to go and grab a bottle of handwash to make up the amount spent to £50 so I could get my petrol coupon!

    spent £30 on 3 swimsuits which I think is quite cheap but they dont come out of my allowance as I use so many by swimming 3 times a week,am trying a smaller size as they soon stretch out of shape and buying as soon as I see them as tesco sell out so quickly and even though the sales girl was just putting them out when i was there she only had some of the sizes.
  • Hi all,
    still lots of no spend people - well done :) I have been shopping - for the first time since early Jan - but I went with a list for holidays - so mostly swimwear (excluded I think) - but I will declare the cover-up/beach top - so £5 (primark - but looks like monsoon!) a bit naughty, but you inspire me so keep going guys!

    Was hoping for a no spend February but ended up in a charity shop today and spent £1.80 on a t-shirt. So that's my balance at £93.13

  • Have a refund from boden for two tank tops that shrank, even though I followed the care instrucs, so £70 added to the fund. I have £170 for maternity clothes budget, now. Can I do it??

    Yay :j So still no spends for you Niksyg. Impressive.

    Nothing to delcare. Except to warn you it must be on my mind as I woke up this morning thinking I had to check ebay. I had dreamed I had bought three items of clothing - and even in my dream I was thinking, "oh no, I'll need to declare them". When I woke up, I had no idea whether it had been real or not so thought I'd best check I hadn't been "Sleep-shopping"!!!! :rotfl:

    Though no idea what it was I'd bought. I'm slightly worried that even my unconsciuos won't let me spend!
