The 2010 crazy clothes challenge

Oh dear - I have been spending!

Went to Mr T to do weekly shop and found a the only size 10 swimming cossie and it was only a tenner. Desperately need a new one as I swim a couple of times a week and mine is dying! So...£10 spent, still have £90 unspent though so not toooooo bad!

I need one too! Been keeping an eye on ebay but keep loosing. That's a good thing though as it means I'm being very strong, stcking to my limits and not getting into a bidding war (admittedly, that tends to mean being out of the house when the auction ends!).

as I said in an earlier post swimsuits at Tesco go quickly(I bought 3 this week!) they are such good value compared with Marks,Debs etc,just wish they wouyld order enough of each size as when I went there it was the usual lots of one size and none of another:mad: I bought 1 of my usual size and 2 smaller as that was all they had(I am a 14/16 so mid range of sizes)my thinking is the smaller ones will soon stretch with wear and effects of chlorine.

is this any good?? £3.99 P&P - don't know if there's any free postage codes around. or this one on their ebay outlet

or some good prices in this ebay outlet.

Ooh, thanks chickywiggle - definitely look into them if I lose this auction too

At the moment though, have a perfect excuse not to go swimming

Just checked every-one's totals - I'm very impressed that so many of you have not yet broken into your budgets! Yay, well done

I've been clothes shopping - but with DS1, not for me!
Why is it that some men are just not interested in clothes? he'll wear something till it literally falls to pieces!

Better check the expiry date on them Rosemary - I found some in a suit pocket (they were High Street Ones about 18 months /2yrs old I think)) -the date on them meant I had to use them up quick -bought loads of energy saving lightbulbs from Wilko!
But you might find your Marks ones may be going out of date pretty soon- at least you could make that an excuse to go shopping on your OH behalf!:T
