Crazy 2011 clothes challenge

Right, I'm declaring another in! I picked up a pair of cream linen cropped trousers the other day from TJ Hughes but wasn't sure. Have now tried with my clothes and they are fine. So another £6.99 spent and my wardrobe is complete

Hello ladies,

I havent been here in AGES.

I am afraid I quickly went back to the wearing black to work and tracksuit bottoms out of work. my jeans are massively uncomfortable and whilst I have now 4 pairs of leggings I don't have much to go with them. I was thinking about digging out the "summer" wardrobe and so came to look you all up.

Since my last visit

2 pairs of jean £10 each
1 pair of leggings £9.50
4 t shirts 20 pound toal (£5 each)

Had a bit of a mare really since the washing machine has conspired against me and stained all my black tops with white marks. I have no idea what it is. tis a mystery.

right i am feeling inspired to sort the wardrobe out.

see you in abit

Buffy, it sounds like a build up of detergent or limescale. Do you run it through a boil wash with vinegar every few weeks? I live in a hard water area and need to do it monthly really.
The other issue could also be using powder and washing at 30 degrees. This temp isn't high enough to dissolve all the washing powder. I use liquid and it helps but I do have a nasty slimy build up in my machine. All of my white bedding came out of the wash like it had been dragged through mud the other day because there is a mouldy slimy collection at the bottom of my washing machine sill. I really am at a loss about what to do to rectify this though because I keep the door open, clean the machine regularly etc etc. The machine's a few years old now but I can't just chuck it because it's grubby

fab shoes

we've just returned from a shopping trip so am away to tot up our spends, thank goodness I finally got some stuff for DD, my total was completely overshadowing hers

Thanks for the vinegar tip Kaz by the way :T. I've been using 30 washes for about 2 years & finally given up on them. I did a 90 wash the other day & now the machine smells funny & I had to clean out roudn the door seal - ugh & I'll leave it at that

I have increased my usual washes to 40 now.

Back in a bit ...

DDs bits - tops & trousers for school residential trip - all courtesy of primarni for a bargainlicious £12.90. Also a baseball style jacket in new look for £17.99

My stuff - black lace up ankle boots in the sale for £12 ( bought these a few months ago for £48 but returned them as damaged & they didint have my size to replace at the time - so very chuffed ) A white cotton cardi (ideal for wearing over frocks or strappy tops at work) for £8 & 2 x leather plaited skinny belts ( one brown & one black) for £11.98.

New totals :- Me £184.35 oh dear & DD £61.58

Oh dear.

have just got my summer wardrobe out of the loft.

apart from cries of "what was I thinking" and "how the hell did I fit into that" there isn't muc else to say.

I am even too fat for the old reliable vest top and long skirt business. The rolls are toooooo visable!!

There is going to be a huge bag for the charity shop and I won't be able to leave the house.
