as Lulla said - my posts will make me sound like all I do is shop.. but I do an awful lot of returns because im not happy with my shape at the moment, so I do do other things than shop.. sometimes lol.

Why don't we set up a mini challenge of wearing a new pair or forgotten pair, or just worn once pair of shoes/boots once a week?

I fall into the trap of wearing the same pair over and over again and again and then forget about the other pairs that are tucked away in the wardrobe

I like it fedup
When I sorted through my boots and shoes I was shocked how many I have and even returned 3 pairs that I'd bought in the sale because I didn't think I needed more of the same...:rotfl:
I've a lovely pair of brown boots I've had a couple of years and not wanted to wear in case they get ruined

Nice to know im not the only one with Wardrobe orniments that I dont wear cos i dont want to risk ruining

I wear all my shoes, certainly never the same pair twice in one week However, when it comes to clothes that's another story - stick to the same tried and tested outfits all the time

Hi Everyone!
Just found this thread and I love it. Can I join too? My job has become very unreliable, and my income slashed, My husband job is secure but we will really miss the money I was bringing in! However, we must rise to the challenge and find ways to economise. I have always gone to Jumble Sales and CAr Boot sales to get clothes. BUT, have bought in the sales to give my wardrobe a boost. This year I bought some cheap jewelery from Mand S and two pairs of pants! Also I am losing weight and gone from a size 16 to size 14 I have got all my new trousers from car boots and jumbles. I am aiming to be a size 12 and so it is mot woth spending too much anyway.
However even when I get to size 12 I intend to sell all my ols stuff in a car boot and get my new wardrobe from jumbles and car boots again. So I am setting myself the £100 pond challenge! I will try and do this for my husband too!
Thanks for everyone else ideas.

Hi all, I'm up for the wearing un-worn shoes and handbags on a Monday, need to start from 31st Jan for me though as still signed off work with this flu bug, yuk!

I should do fine as whilst I've been off, been having a clear out and I've found 36 handbags and 60+ shoes/boots/trainers/sandals. Definitely at 62 pairs but I know for sure I've got a fair few pairs of summer sandals in my suitcase in the loft! Ridiculous amount to have which is why I'm on this thread, ha!

Get better soon Swintsie
I had the same a couple of weeks ago
don't overdo the sorting while you're still recuperating
I really enjoyed being on this forum while I was off - it was quite nice company and gave me something to think about other than how unwell I felt!
hope you do too

Hello & welcome to frizz2 :hello:

Well done you for diving straight in to the £100 challenge :A

I now feel very under-bagged ... I only have 6 although I do have a few more seriously underused clutch type ones that are pretty & used as a kind of decoration

I havent done a shoe count recently, it's on my list of things to do before the end of the month. I gave away 2 pairs of hardly worn boots & a lovely pair of sandals to my sis & DD1 but still have 6 pairs of boots not including the pair I keep in the boot (ha ha sorry ) of my car for emergencies.

I do actually wear them all though as that's all I wear in winter, dont do shoes at all.

Off to add frizz2 to the loony list on page 1
