Oh phew - for a moment there I was worried that you were suddenly going for a Mr T look :eek: :rotfl:

£13 credit from return of playsuit to Mr T. I loved the style, fitted brilliantly - but was made of nylon and I felt sweaty as soon as I put it on. Knew if wore it once I would end up relegating it to back of wardrobe.

After much deliberation have decided I have to include yesterday's purchases seeing as I signed up then. £9.99 for a lovely fatface dress from oxfam and £3.50 for a Miss Sixty blouse from cancer research. I like to do what I can for charity :-)

Got a new dress in Next the other day. Don't usually like next but it jumped out at me so...

£60.50 is my new total for the year. However, I'll be buying a wedding dress in a couple of weeks so technically the budget is out of the window (though I'm not really counting wedding related things).

Yikes! That is a toughy - did you manage that before? I think I am still scared at the thought of £500 (which is prob half my spend atm) but that amount of money doesn't really feel like a 'challenge' if you get what I mean? (as it's still a lot of cash). However, all this lurking must be working somehow as I haven't actually made a clothes spend since before I went on hols at the beginning of May :eek: Am currently trying to resist a rather lovely bag on TK Maxx though

Keep on resisting kerri gt

Someone has to 'cos it sure isn't me

I had a rather naughty spend in Dotty P today. Saw a lovely greyish silver embellished dress in there , reduced to £22. Noticed that a couple of the beads were loose so asked if any extra discount was available ? I got it for £19.80 & very happy with that because it's a lovely dress & I know I'll wear it loads all year round .

I also had to do a bit of stocking up of clothes for DD - that girl will not stop growing :eek: she needed new jeans as well as some long socks for the school trip, t shirts, 'jamas & a jacket. Total cost was £63.49. One of the pair of 'jamas are a bit too tight so need to go back & when I looked over the receipt, the ones that do fit her don't seem to be have been charged :j ... I won't tell if you don't :shhh: .

That's a case of Lula's Karmic Law in advance - I have a large bag of stuff to be charitized & there's an age concern collection on tuesday so I'll be donating as much as I can.

As to the original £100 CC Challenge it didn't include coats, shoes, bags & undies although the hardcore challengers did include that.

I am seriously considering doing that again next year as I will be on a mission to save money.

Right, I'm off to update the sig

bye for now
