Just spent £61 of M and S reward vouchers, though only 8 of it on me, and bought tights, so no spend still.Please do not confuse me with other gratefulsforhelp. x0

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.0 -
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! :money:0 -
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 £93.13Crazy 2011 clothes challenge, #60 - £193.20/£2000

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!Jan10: 28,315.81 Jan11: 18,015.32 Jan12: 7,682.58 Jan13: 2,987.73 Current debt: 1,225.55
