Im doing well so far this month but just had my birthday and so have been given some cash and vouchers so its not been difficult!! Also, my gorgeous bf just treat me to some vivienne westwood jeans and they are gorgeous:D

Oh dear.
I returned a pair of trousers to Next that I'd ordered in the Christmas sale and which had only just been delivered. They didn't fit. Good, I thought. That's another £15 not spent. :A:A

Trouble is my eye was caught by several nice looking tops as I walked out of the shop and before I knew it, when I logged online last night I found that £165 of Next clothes had fallen into my online basket and that delivery was today! :eek:

They've just been delivered and I'm about to open them. I hope I can be sensible, or it will have blown a huge part of my clothes budget for the whole year...!:o

Well I've had my first clothes spend of the year. I've bought a new pair of jeans from M&S - £19.50, although I did have a £10 voucher, so it's actually only a £9.50 spend! So, just £90.50 left now!

Afternoon All

I did go into town yesterday to see if anything inspired me - although I still haven't checked what I need to replace in my wardrobe I took my b'day money - I know its dangerous just wandering the shops without knowing what I need with money in hand - but to be honest I saw nothing until I went into Mr TK**X.


But I didn't buy any clothes - instead I purchased the silk scarf by Liberty's that they have produced for Comic Relief that's on sale in there - if no one has seen it, its a really pretty red and cream paisley and very cleverly has the red nose theme among the cherry red blossoms around the edge.

I normally could never afford a piece of Liberty and at £12.99,of which £4 goes to comic relief, I think I have got myself a bargain - something that's pretty & versatile and supporting CR in a classy way .

Wore it yesterday as a neckerchief but then disaster struck this morning - took dog for walk and it fell out my pocket - never noticed until on way way back and I picked it up:eek:.

Anyway its now been hand washed and is drying over a clothes dryer in kitchen.:o

Anyway thanks Dad as I used part of birthday money to buy it plus its an accessory so still no declares on either counts.

Decluttering

I have a spend of £7 to report today, it broke down into the following...

£2 for a 3 pack of socks with sheep on them (all my socks seem to be falling apart at the moment, there comes a point where I have to admit that it's time for them to go )

£5 on a pair of dacshund pyjamas (I needed these, well not specifically dacshund pyjamas but another pair of winter pyjamas to replace the ones I had to throw away due to having a massive hole in the bum!)


I always feel guilty throwing away clothes, I'm not creative enough to know what else to do with them / if they can be mended but I want that to change.

Hi all,

Still lurking and no spends for me. I have been into town but ask myself do I need it: and am still telling myself no!

I have just dyed an old pair of jeans that were not really worn but looked very washed out (not in a vintage cool way: they just looked scruffy). They have come out brilliantly: and I put in an old white shirt that had gone grey and it has come out a lovely navy too! So new jeans and shirt for £6 cost of the dye. Very MSE and nothing spent yet!

Ooooh how exciting (& brave) :j

I think you should wear something that you feel your absolute best in, something that you know looks good on you & will help boost your confidence.

Best of luck with it & do please remember Lula's Mantra :

"F*** Off, I'm FABULOUS" .

Keep saying this to yourself before you go in :A

Errr....although I haven't officially joined this challenge, I have been following it and must confess some sins today...went shopping with my friend and bought a(nother) grey top in TK M*xx for £8, nearly bought a very sweet little blue dress with white hearts on it, but one had a small pull under the arm and on the other in my size the print was bad - so £13 'saved'. Also bought some new leggings and a replacement vest top for one I bought in HnM last year that has a small hole coming in it (and the armpits have gone a bit manky) total spend £10. Hmmm...could have been worse, did see a LOVELY jumper in O*sis but it was £35

Out of 3 items I bought, only the leggings were on my '2011 to buy list' though
