    Just declaring £7.50 for new leggings etc. for the gym. Just squeezed that into July so I might manage a no spend August.

    I have spends to declare. I've recently bought a cardigan for £3 and a skirt for £6, signature total updated.

    I am also trying to find some new exercise clothes in the sales, as I've got a new workout to try. I'm sure I'll work out at least 20% more effectively if I have new gear... :D
