I'd love some new honeymoon clothes, but sadly they have to come after paying for everything else, and I doubt there will be anything left over.
My honeymoon wish list contains
Oasis dress
Sunseeker dress
Dahlia Playsuit
Manoush Dress
Anusha Dress
Anusha Top
I keep considering weather to say to NIM - any clothes I sell on ebay and money I make of those, can I use them for new clothes? Basically have a clothes neutral budget. However I know the money is better put towards the honeymoon and wedding and I can just keep wearing the clothes I've had for summer since I was 15 or 16.Debt January 1st 2018 £96,999.81Met NIM 23/06/2008

Dinah, i know you hate Toluna...but...how about getting back into it and using it for Love2Shop vouchers to get some new clothes? Thats what im hoping to do. I've only been back on it a few months and i've already redeemed for £45 and im half way already to my next voucher...
They are really slow, but they are reliable as they have been around for years. So at least you'd get the vouchers eventually xx0 -
It's a tough one, the money would be better spent on paying for the honeymoon and wedding but you want to feel great and look great on your honeymoon! I think the clothes neutral thing is a good idea!
I like the bits on your wishlist too! I really want this and this but I think it's going to have to stay as a wish for now, especially the Coast dress!Overcome the notion that you must be ordinary. It robs you of the chance to be extraordinary!Goal Weight 140lb Starting Weight: 160lb Current Weight 145lb0 -
NIM already does Toluna, but we get the halfords vouchers towards oil etc for the carsDebt January 1st 2018 £96,999.81Met NIM 23/06/2008

I think offering to go clothes neutral is a brilliant idea! I know the clothes are low priority in the big picture, but if I was going on the most expensive holiday I'll ever go on and working my bum off to look great, I'd definitely want at least a few new outfits for the photos.LBM Sep 2008 debt: £27,927.04start weight: 140.2, week 2: 1380

Sheesh, I get told off for one Asos link - on the day of my birth too! - and come back to a bazillion clothes links. Pfft, my life is so unfair *drama queen*
Really lovely stuff though *sighs* My summer wardrobe is just my winter wardrobe only with thinner cardies and pumps instead of Uggs!I like the idea of saving up Love2Shop vouchers for new clothes though Lulu, I might start doing that!
Got more toiletries off people yesterday so update my list here All lovely stuff though, so I can't complain! Have a couple more things that will be used up in a week or so though, it is nice to cross things off!
OH took me to Esholt yesterdayHad a drink and some scampi fries in The Woolpack. Went to the cinema after that and as I got to pick the movie so we went to see Nanny McPhee
Going for a walk in the park today, I'm having a 'surprise' party and I need to be out of the way for a few hours *rollyeyes* hoping the icecream man is out!0
