    And there was me thinking my £5 pjs from Next (reduced from £20 I think) were a bargain!

    You were diddled!!! Get a refund ASAP :rotfl:

    hi hula lula

    I am still going strong on the Clothes Challenge, spent 5.00 euro on 2 pairs tights yesterday. Havnt bought any clothes so far so my 200 euro is now 195.00 euro.

    Well done all of you on keeping to the challenge.

    Shoes do it for me every time :rotfl::rotfl: Have just ordered a lovely red pair (encouraged by Lula :p) but won't declare the spend until they arrive and I decide to keep them :D
    Sometimes it's hard to walk in a single woman's shoes - that's why we need really special ones!

    Oh me too! And I'm wavering! Oh am I wavering! Help me!

    I saw a girl in town yesterday in a great pair of chelsea boots, and now I'm hankering for a pair . . . so I went for an internet wander and found a pair in All Saints. So you can guess how much they are, even with the 50% sale discount :p

    And I also know part of it is due to having a bit of a crappy thing happen today, so it's partly emotional spending.

    Anyway I am going to sleep on it for a couple of days (planning 2 NSDs this week) and see how I feel then.

    I wish it was only shoes that did it for me!!!

    I am hoping to get some money for my birthday next month and to buy myself a pair of Ugg boots.... that should suffice for a long time and I won't have to count it in my total if it is birthday money! :p

    Jolly good, all the more for me & Shoe Gal then :rotfl: :D


    I've just had to order a pair of red shoes because 'someone' :whistle: encouraged me . So :p yourself missy ;)



    Hello & welcome suzie wong

    This really isnt Shoe Addicts Anonymous, I promise :D . I love White Stuff too, but agree about the cost, I keep hovering on the sale page & hoping that something I can fit into in my size will appear at a bargainous price ...

    When you do have to spend, dont forget that White Stuff & All Saints are on Quidco :)

    Will add you to the members list right away suzie

    Good luck

    xx

    went dancing last night in my new red chiffon skirt and black with gold studs top on ,said to DH do you like my £100 skirt?he said yes but how much did you actually pay for it?(he knows me too well!!!)....it was £18:):):):):):)
    we go to a social club and are the youngest there by at least 10 years(I am 56)but it it so nice to see the members as they all seem to make a real effort to get dressed up for dance night.it costs us £11 to join and £6 a night(for 2 of us) and last night there was even a free buffet as one lady had a birthday......much bettrer value than the £21.60 I paid to take dH to see a 3D film:eek::eek::eek::eek:don't know how families afford it.
