    Thanks Lula!

    I have loads of bags, I don't need another one. I just wish the excitement I felt when I bought the ones I've got didn't fade quite so quickly.

    I will not buy it :A

    Well done :D

    Now go & put that £134 in to your piggy bank ... that's not quite so exciting though is it ;)

    I do know just what you mean about the feeling though,& I do find it a constant battle which is why it really is easier just not to look in the first place.

    got an interview coming up so bought a new top, had a voucher for 20% off so cost me £10.39. There is also the possibility it will go back!
    good luck with the interview!:d

    Went to a car boot sale last weekend and managed to get a spotty green t shirt for 30p and a black vest top for 50p. Never thought to look for clothes at a car boot mainly go to them so the kids can buy lots of plastic tatt with their pocket money. Total left to spend £193.20.

    Evening all - I am going to sound like I have spent so much money now!! But I havn't really.
    • £44 - Dorothy perkins. This purchased me a pair of summer sandals, I am returning some I brought from next a fortnight ago as they don't fit properly, got some lovely wedge sandals, which so far seem very comfortable, even after a day of shopping. I brought a lovely dress with it, which although similar style to other dresses, it doesnt look right - ready to be returning. To save money, my partner brought the 'mothers day special' voucher, which you spend £30 - get £35 ;)
    Sooooooooooooooo with my return to next I can declare £14 - will be returning dress, and getting £29.50 in vouchers.
    • £10 Radley. I used my Grupon. I couldn't find anything without spending far too much money :( So I brought myself a little wristlet for my Holiday worth £39 - and brought sisters birthday pressie for £10 . . . Not declaring this, as the £10 was a gift. And I think i've declared my £14
    • £9 in next on leggings - not declaring as my lovely Boyfriend brought me these :)
    • £9 in Primark on a really lovely summer dress. Had to buy this, as wanted to return a top brought yesterday (brought two for size) but forgot my bank card so couldnt have refund, don't shop there often enough to get gift card
    £9 declared please
    • £10 spent in Boots, on a no7 lipgloss some 'holiday-prep' stuff some holiday wet whipes and lipbalm.. other half paid :D
    Think thats all my holiday shopping done now. I have a friend out there at the moment though, so dependent on her report on the weather, it may change very slightly next weekend but probably not :)

    So new balance --

    £263

    at least when im on holiday i wont buy clothes lol.

    hi ladies,went to town today and on impulse popped into Bravissimo to get bra size checked as been feeling a bit uncomfortable recently.nearly died when the fitter said you are 34G!!!never been that small before(last size was 36FF) bad news is now need to buy more bras....good news is Marks stock my new size....bad news is I don't fancy any of the current styles!
    had a look on figleaves and had actually chosen 1 new one (after putting my size in the search so presumed they had got it right)only to find my size was out of stock!

    :mad::mad::mad:
    looked in my fav clothes shops but did not buy anything:A
    so as the 1 bra I bought from bravissimo was an essential not in budget I have nothing to declare:)


    (the toiletry challenge is another matter tho with both Clinique and Clarins bonus times on:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
