    I exchanged a gift voucher in M&S - got three pairs of knickers in the sale but had to pay cash - £2.39. I asked my Daughters for knickers for Christmas - nil!

    I love "hand me downs"
    I never say no to anyone wanting to get rid of clothes - I always gratefully accept them saying I will pass on the ones that I or DD's won't make use of or Fre*gle/CB them.

    In fact now that I have 3 teen DD it has been known for me to accept "Hand-me-ups" from them when they have had enough of certain items.:rotfl:

    Oh and don't forget to ask your local cobblers about any small leather repairs - my local one will do repairs to handbags at a small price so don't just throw or put aside your fave leather handbag if the handle is torn espically if it was expensive,ask to see how much it would cost to repair first.

    Still no spends for me, there is a certain branded hoody I would like, decided I rather fancied one before xmas (and one of my A&F ones is ready for the car boot / fleabay) am torn between wanting a new one but rather loathed to pay the price, or buying one from fleabay...

    Hi is it too late to sign up for this?

    Can you put me down for £250 please?

    I know I have to invest in some new underwear and jeans pretty sharpish but am hoping to slim back into the rest of my wardrobe.

    The Monsoon cardigan - nothing less than urgh.
    So its going back.

    Will reduce my 'balance' accordingly when that happens.

    My Dorothy perkins order arrived today - got an essential work skirt and some black trousers and a dress for £40 - just what I had for xmas money. I cant actually believe ive brought essential work wear out of what would have been in the past an excuse for a new handbag from Accessorize :S lol.

    My spends do seem high at the minute. I really need to have a good few weekends of 'behaviour' and also this dorothy perkins order was 'ordered' prior to my challange begining :)
