The Completely Crazy 2012 Clothes Challenge

Fear not joyce63 - my budget is about to burst too

I was lured into the recesses of ebay earlier today & escaped with a pretty frock & a top in my clutches & £17.25 worse off.

This puts me right on the edge of my budget with just £4.57 & a £20 giftcard left, unless I earn myself some paypal pennies or vouchers with surveys.

Time to renounce all ebay me thinks.

Stay strong people

Whoops...seem to have 'accidentally' purchased a little black playsuit with parrots on today from TKM not sure if I'm keeping it or not, but could be good for the summer.

Hello everyone. I was naughty and bought two things on New Look! Only came to about £13 though.

Good morning everyone,

I've just updated the No Spends in March list, so if there's anyone I've missed, do let me know. I'm very impressed at you all so well done :A

Ooh Lula, how exciting, I didn't realise you kept us all updated with no spends

I have just been back on the first page for a look and am now super determined to have a no spend April so I can get more little happy things after my name on the list :D:D

And yes, I realise I am easily amused, but life is more fun that way!!

So just pick yourself up, dust yourself down and start over again We'd love to see more of you, or anybody who is struggling with the challenge, we know it's not easy, that's why it's called a challenge.

If being part of the challenge makes you think twice before buying something, even if you then go on to buy the item, at least you're thinking about your purchases and not just blindly shopping. If being part of the challenge stops you from buying one item per month, that's 12 items over the year, which will probably amount to a significant amount. So please keep with us

Oh thank you so much. Of course you are right.
Now I just need the courage to update the signature honestly

I am declaring my first spend of 2012 - £13 brand new still in the box Reiker shoes in charity shop and £12 top in M&Co I had a £10 voucher from Christmas so top was £22. Total £23 of my £250 spent.

My mission is to wear everything in my wardrobe this year and what I don't like or doesn't fit will be got rid of. This will probably leave me about 20 items from two double wardrobes stuffed full!!!
