    This challenge really is the best. I have already managed to resist a coat I wanted and other items in a 50% off sale.

    Would wellies count as clothes?
    I have 2 pairs with holes in and really need some!
    Or does anyone know a way of fixing welly holes?

    At Katy, I probaly wouldn't consider wellies as clothes, though I think I have heard of wellie repair kits, I'll have a scout online and let you know if I find anything.

    Though depending on how much the wellies were in the first place and how attached to them you are it might be easier to replace them :o

    Before xmas, I brought some 'proper snow boots' from a sports shop - for £19.99 ... little more expensive than wellies, but they are a proper camping brand, and are proper good on the soals, so hopefully i wont fall over :) I used to find that wellies all very safe, my feet used to be so cold in them, cos they was effectively plastic, but because these are material and really thick soals they shouldnt be so bad.

    Deffo recommend looking in a sports shop :)

    I was hoping to start on DD's wardrobe and sort out ebay, charity , rags etc.

    Went back to work today after the festive period and I'm sooooo tired! Dunno what was worse, the early morning or contantly trying to hold my expanding bump in!

    Im hoping a wee bite to eat and a swift kick up the "you know what" from the lovely ladies on here, will motivate me to go and do it as I know I will feel much better afterwards!!
