wore my new(very expensive ) bra to go dancing last night,nearly poked DHs eyes out as sooooo uplifted(problems with back boobs tho:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:)did feel good but don't know if I would pay £83 for a bra myself:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:(got this as a fee for mystery shopping)and also it is quite high so showed a bit above my cami(was wearing a shrug over the top to disguise said back boobs:rotfl:)
weather is supposed to go off this week so not sure if it is winter or summer clothes I need to look out:rotfl:

Congratulations to you all for doing so well in March - I haven't been as successful as I have lost count of my spending on clothes. Like Medsdemon I have lost weight and so the appeal to buy new smaller size clothes has tempted me too much...and yet I don't want to buy too much at the moment as I plan to loose much more weight. Did manage to get the jeans revamped and the clothes that I did buy this month were more necessary than what i usually buy. Even managed to get a few bargains. will have to try and tot up my spends and maybe rethink my budget for the year! but well done all you are inspirational! moggy

icebreaker top?!

Oops sorry. Merino wool top for walking hol - they're ridiculously expensive but they do everything they claim, ie keep you warm and non-stinky and dry for days. I have 2 lightweight ones so if I get a thicker one I can layer them and be toasty and dry and I won't need to pack any other tops which is a Good Thing when we're on the bike

Clearly I'm not very good at bargain hunting yet but at least I'm thinking about everything I buy which is a start :T

Afternoon All,

Still going well (not as well as some but amazingly for me!), still £220.84 left for the year, thats £27.54 per week) DS is going to need new school shoes but they only have 14?? weeks left after Easter Hols do you think i can challenge him not to destroy them anymore??????

Apart from the impending school shoes should be okish he needs some pants, and will need uniform in September but the rest of his wardrobe looks fine had a massive sort out and looking good for the rest of the year.

Me - I NEED a new pair of white linen trousers, honestly I do NEED them......;)

Good luck all

inspired by the colours in exotic marigold hotel I wore a print skirt with orange/brown and turquoise in it with a brown cami and turquoise shrug,turquoise jewelry and sandals last night(and turquoise eyepencil!) and had some good comments about the outfit,determined to ditch the somber black and be more colourful with mixes of colours not worn before:)

How lovely :j

Ha ha, that is MUCH more sensible than I thought! deary me... Sounds wonderful, I can't say I have an active enough lifestyle at the moment to justify such things, but they sound amazing!

I forgot I also bought a white vest for £2 in Tatco, replacing the red wine damaged one last year...

Takes me up to £154.04/£300. I think!

Well counted up what i've spent on clothes this month (£58)and its only the 3rd of April and I am at £137.49 so my budget is well and truly gone...so i think to be more realistic i need to reset it to £300 for the year. I cannot believe i waste so much money on clothes - at least this is something i realise now. It goes to show that if you keep an eye on spending it is a real eye-opener! if someone had asked me how much i spent on clothes 3 months ago i would have said very little!!! yeah right! lol. moggy

After two whole months of not buying anything I have to declare a few spends for March.
£6 on a lovely pair of next jeans from ebay just a teeny bit too small but hopefully will fit soon
£9.50 on three pairs bof tights in M&S and £11 on a black dress in Tesco for a funeral
that brings my total to £26.50 so far for the year it would of been a lot higher but I still haven't lost the weight I want to lose
