One little find was a steam punk looking handbag which looks like a mini vicotian doctors bag! I found in the local charity shop it was £2.50:j Are handbags included in the challenge? please let me know and I will take it off my challenge amount.:p

I have some small spends to declare

£4 on a pair of diamontee earrings from Debenhams should have been £10
£17.55 on a tummy control swimming costume from Monsoon, I saw it on the rack and was drawn to it, i thought it was going to be too expensive, then I saw it in the sale and decided to go for it I only have one swimming costume, and although i dont swim (bleached hair hehe) i felt I needed another one on hol last time Should have been i think £40, id never spend that much on a costume
Also - debating my monsoon dress at £16.50 - doesnt fit great yet, but i need to decide whether ill love it in the summer, i got until tomorrow to decide lol.

So current total: £47.05

Quite impressive for me really, i'd have brought loads more in the past..

Decided to also save the money my OH gave me and treat myself next month when more of the new season stuff comes in

On another note - i went into boots today, brought two birthday pressies and my Mums mothers day pressie out of the half price sale, theres no markings to say its xmas spent £24.50 instead of £49 so pretty chuffed

oh flip, i have found 4 dresses, a pair of firetrap jeans plus 3 pairs of heeled ankle boots to put on ebay BUT i just twigged i dont have the money to pay for it all be posted. ok shall have to prioritise. I'm thinking ebay the jeans and a pair of boots just to make a start. I've also decided to use my ebay cash for buying fabric and crafty stuff to use for xmas pressies ect.

Declaring a spend of £6 each on 2 pairs of new work trousers in the sale (reduced from £15), £16 on a new going out jacket (if I didn't declare it earlier and reduced from £32) and £29.99 on a new pair of grey boots reduced from £64.99. Still not too sure about the boots but I think they're a keeper for now

So my total is already pretty big and I'd better have a couple of months off the clothes now (unless the dress I saw today in the sale comes down even more and then I'm definately having that!)

Have been in Edinburgh and resisted big time. Saw bargains that I could have bought but I thought long and hard and realised I didn't NEED them so walked away. I did spend money in the fabric shop but on quilting fabrics.

I am going to make a plan over the next few weeks for my spring/summer wardrobe as I am going to Spain in April and want to be prepared with matching items and know what I need to look out for to update what I already own without going over the top.

Eek, I have made my first purchase of the year .... a new winter coat at £50 (picked up from Wallis in their sale, reduced from £90, very good quality). I have been looking for one for a while so it was a very considered purchase, plus it also an essential winter item which will get worn everyday until the weather decides to improve!

Plan for tomorrow is to go through my wardrobe and try and organise it a bit better. Will pack away anything too small and put under the bed for a few months and will re-evaluate these items and see if they then fit ... if not, they will be taken to the CS. Anything too big / dont like will be bagged up for a trip to the CS on monday.
