Hi all, not been doing well on my Freedom days, feeling a bit 'off' lately and not been caring about what I'm wearing. Look presentable but kindof back to my wallflower ways.

I am definitely going to be making a purchase of leather Uggs when I'm debt free but I am not counting them as this will be my longed for debt-free pressie to myself. Is this cheating? I hope not.

Are we twins or what eh? Just how I feel at the moment too

I'm currently saving £20 pm for some leather Dubarry Boots that I'm excluding from all challenges as this will be the first time I have saved all year for something instead of using the CC. Should have enough by the end of the year. Think I will treasure them when I get them!

Morning! I hope all you ladies are well. I have a small confession. I bought a pair of Carvela black patent heels from TK Maxx. They were £39.99 (eek!) but I had a gift card from last year so I only had to top up with £8 to get them. They're gorgeous but will probably hurt like hell!

I may have another confession if I can't generate enough ebay earnings to offset a few purchases but I'm going to do my best this weekend.

Have a great day everyone. I'm going to cook a special meal for my boyfriend tonight so I think I'll try to liberate some different clothes from my wardrobe.

Oh me too! Some days you just want to not think about it and throw on some old faithful.

BUT, I have just realised catching up on everybody's post's that I am doing Freedom Friday with out even noticing :rotfl: I'm wearing a yellow Toast jumper I bought about 11 years ago, and often doesn't make it out. This is mostly because current favorite gap cashmere was still damp this morning and navy blue with dark jeans is a bit too sober. So circumstances forced me to think again, encouraged by this thread :j

Still no spends to declare, but really, really have to go buy new bras next weekend. The situation is getting a bit desperate!

I have been good and not bought any clothes this month, although I have been looking for some black boots that are suitable for work as my current pair are falling apart. Saw a pretty cardi in H&M yesterday - luckily they didn't have my size or I would have bought it!

I also need a couple of new bras, but will try and leave buying those until well into March to eke out my budget!

£14.75 spent in Mr T's yesterday on 4 pairs of new tights and 2 tops to wear under tops and on their own in black and cream

3 pack of tights £3.75
1 pair of tights £3
1 black top £6
1 cream top £6 - buy 2 for £8

Wore a pair of boots yesterday for Freedom Friday I've worn about twice since I bought them last year and 2 people commented on how nice they were! Now that was a surprise - should maybe wear them again!

The black top is to go under my coast low cut tunic top jumper that I've worn once I think. Will give it a test run at the weekend to see how I get on with it. Then I can wear it with my jeans I bought last August that I haven't worn once (ooops!)

Just found a new outfit now
New gap dark denim jeans
Black top
Coast purple striped tunic
Tan boots with heel
Dark purple bag got for Christmas

Sounds ok, just need to wear it now!

Well I am starting back at work on Monday, I went shopping with my Mum yesterday which was tough! £22.00 spent on top for work at next and mum treated me to 2 tops from Zara in the sale and one from Next so all set for work now!
very happy I didnt spend anymore as there were loads of things I WANTED but definitely don't NEED!
Finding it hard but dtermined......

Thanks for your welcomes and to lula-hula for my number :j
I have a feeling I may be your newest member but also going to be your first failure
I totally blame the weather for this...
I have been clothes shopping for my holiday that is in....October!:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:(got lovely maxi dress and beach dress :T )
Also, bought a lovely M&S blouse from local charity shop for £4 for work.
Now, I didn't specify in my challenge what it should include (it was meant to be for everything!) so I now have £34 to last me until the end of the year or do I omit workwear from my total?
I am soo weak - it's not even the end of february and I have 1/3 of budget left...:o
(Pleased with my purchases though )

Off to update signature

P.S. you'd better nudge me harder catslovelycats :rotfl:

Its been a rubbish week! Have got to add to my total again! Jumper was £20 and a bra for £2...but did have a voucher so paid only £7!
I also bought a pair of shoes...but this is called the crazy clothes challenge, so i'm not counting them
Will update signature now!

I've never bought clothes on eBay before but this challenge is changing me- I found a skirt I loved online but they didn't have my size so I checked eBay and there are 2 for sale in my size for a fraction of the price. Will have to hope I win one when they end on Monday now!
