I have to report that I have already spent £10 of my £100
I am also reporting that I have joined a local facebook freebay style forum and last night picked up 2 pairs of shoes (1 pair brand new), 2 pairs of trousers, 3 tops and a skirt all for free

I am still doing this, have not spent any more cash! :j

I have recently added a few skirts and tops to my collection and picking up a pair of shoes this evening.

I am enjoying the thrill of bagsying(sp) items probably more than I would purchasing items!

Hey all,

Just spent a bit of time reading through and catching up. People are finding some amazing bargains!!

I have still only spent £1 this year, but really need some new work boots. Does anyone have any tips on where I can get something decent (leather ideally) for pretty cheap? I want to buy to last rather than get cheap which will only last me the rest of the winter.

ooooohhh! Temptation has come knocking at the door, not quite literally. Got a H&M catalogue, not bad prices so may have a nosey online to see if they have any cheapish jumpers...

Thanks, I am looking now. Although I have 3 pairs in my basket already!! Must only choose one, and must choose a sensible pair and not the sky high heels I have fallen in love with. Sensible choices, sensible choices, sensible choices. Say it enough and I will believe it...

Oh dear... I enjoyed my trip to town on my own but was tempted into buying in Monsoon. A pair of lovely trousers that I tried on before christmas and almost bought. Glad I waited as they were a 1/4 of the price they were then. They're such a good fit and I have an awful time finding trousers to fit me, that's my excuse. A deep red really flattering cardigan to wear with the trews, and a skirt in a starry print from the Fusion range that I love. I spent £35 altogether and felt an amazing amount of guilt for doing so. I'm still not sure if I'm keeping them all or not yet. I have 7 days to decide. I tried on everything when I got home and realised if I keep the trousers I will have to buy new shoes to wear with them:o. Oh I don't know.... I shan't add them to my total till I decide what I'm doing.

On a plus side, I am about to list about 6 things on fleabay to sell ..hopefully.

These aren't cheap and would blow your budget (if you're counting shoes?) but I got these (well OH bought them) in Sept and I have worn them tonnes already

They are really soft leather and I wear them with jeans, leggings and dresses, they're also smart enough to wear for an evening out for a meal or casual drinks as well as wearing in the day. I would say they are worth every penny (and I'm fussy about boots) They do come up quite small (I'm a 4 and these felt quite tight to begin with) but they do give.
