The Completely Crazy 2012 Clothes Challenge

mcculloch29

Well done to those who managed an NS June. I should manage an NS July as I honestly need nothing. One pair of jeans I bought a while ago turned out to be two sizes too small.
I had kittens when I put them on, lol, then huge relief when I saw the size, they were on the wrong hanger in the shop.
I will give those to a friend, rather than take them back as if I leave the X Catalogue shop without going WAY over on the credit note it will be my year's biggest miracle.

Hello all!

I'm aiming for a no spend July and August, hoping we see some sunshine soon as I have a collection of summery outfits hiding away in the wardrobe. Also I only have £109 of my budget left (hooray for birthday money:j) though may cash in some consumer pulse points nearer xmas. I will need to buy some new work pants/skirts soon (my skirt is hanging off my hips now and is hanging on for deaer life ) but I'm used to buying new work clothes in September (left over from working in schools for so long)

Did feed my clothes shopping side by buying Hubby 5 new work shirts and 2 pairs of trousers (he's lost weight too)

Oh well, it had to happen sooner or later

I was in Bournemouth today, and bought 2 pairs of trousers (1 pair of jeans, 1 pair of cords) in M&S using the vouchers I got last Christmas. Total spend £32.50, less £1.50 I’ll get back via Consumer Pulse, so a declared spend of £31.00

Also had a look in House Of Fraser, as they’ve recently started a sale, but resisted temptation – though I’ll be back towards the end of the sale looking for more bargains.

So, 2012 running totals are now:-

Cash – £0/150 spent
House Of Fraser Vouchers – £36/122
M&S Vouchers – £31/50
Total spend for 2012 – £67

just had an email from phase eight(after I complained about the £20 GH card not being fair) they are sending me a gift card with an extra £9 on......not quite the full £20 after only getting £7 off but better than nothing.....pays to complain!
had my monsoon deliver but sending most back due to skirts being too long and tops too tight,noticed they were made in China,not impressed esp after that poor woman forced to have an abortion at 7 months:mad:

Haven't been on here in ages, nothing further to declare at present.

Over the next couple of months I will need to buy some more trainers (I love Skechers, so will probably be around the £40 mark) and at least two new bras. I have a £15 M&S voucher, which could go towards this.

I have been hankering after a maxi dress, but won't buy one unless I really like it and it's the right price. I have several skirts and plenty of tops for the summer, and if I lose some weight, I have lots of other outfits I could wear instead!

Looking ahead to autumn I will definitely need a new coat as the current one is 4 years old, and is no longer waterproof (lets in rain through one of the arms!) I bought winter boots last year and only wore them once, so won't need those.
