    If any of you have got an overwelming urge for new clothes have you ever looked at bigwardrobe.co.uk
    I am quite an active member on there.
    Basically, what you do is have a vertual wardrobe and put all the clothes which are still in fabby condition but for whatever reason you don't wear anymore, perhaps there too big or too small or not the right colour for you anymore. Then other people obviously have the same vertual wardrobe. What you do, is browse, much like you would on Ebay through the items, and offer a trade on the item, so you swop a item in your wardrobe for a item in theres. This can work for shoes, clothes misc items anything. And basically for the cost of a item in ur wardrobe and £2.50 or so postage, you have a item new to yourself. A lot of people on there are much like us, shoppaholics who wear something once and dont want to wear it again so its effectively new :)
    Can declare... NO spend for me today - yet :D

    I have just checked out http://www.bigwardrobe.com/
    What a great site! Thanks for bringing it to my attention!
