  • I've just managed to sell my first ever item of clothing on eBay! Would it be acceptable to deduct the profit from my clothes challenge total??

    I have new clothes but no spends :j Lovely top from Top Shop and I fitted in a 12 :j and a necklace from DP but I had vouchers so no spend to declare :)

    But I could easily have bought have the contents of the shopping centre :p Summer clothes are sooooooooo much nicer than Winter ones!

    Just realised I've bought a few things lately that haven't been totalled up. Pretty sure I'm close to my year's target already... Reckon I've spent about £400 on the basis that I think it's less so I'm probably fooling myself.

    What do I do?

    Declare a new total????

  • I've decided to return the dress I ordered, so with my eBay sale my total's back down to £9. I feel much better about that number! But I will have to go shopping later in April as there are some summer things I need for work.

    Hello all - just popping in to say still no spends:T

    But my DD2 gave me a gift card for New Look for Mothering Sunday - I did ask for a top but she didn't know which one to buy so am quiet excited at the prospect of clothes shopping - hope there is something I like:cool:

    Have spent past few days going through the huge pile of clothes that intentially I was going to car boot/ebay but have split it further and have applied from one of those modern rag n bone firms that pay for good quality clothing for cash - I need the money now as car due MOT so might not have car to do car boot if it fails :(

    So filled this bag with lots of heavy jeans,winter coats,jumpers,hoodies etc and it weighs about 19 kilos! Mind you it doesn't matter how much I get at least its 19 kilos of stuff that is no longer worn out of my wardrobe!

    £7 to declare on cute flat mules from M&S - needed 'summer' slippers as last year's cream pair now distinctly grubby.

    Starting to sort through for summer clothes and am trying to weed the wardrobe in the process. Already ditched pj's as too bobbly for next winter and am dithering whether to ebay a few things I never wear.

    Now have to somehow put together smart outfit that doesn't display legs (slight eczema breakout) for conference tomorrow. Suspect this may include a freedom moment!

    Skechers... yay... *heads to Amazon to investigate current ones* :D
