2 pairs of trousers brought back into play via a judicious bit of patching:o and a button replaced on a third pair.

Well I am so annoyed with myself. This is typical of the way I frittered money away pre-LBM.
I went into Primarni to get some School tights for my daughter. Came out with a load of bits and bobs for dd. Pre light bulb moment I would regularly spend in there each week. Whaterer I bought always seemed to come to £35. Don't ask me why.

So yesterday I bought black sports socks 6 pairs for £2
3 pairs of slippers (one for the bedroom, one for the bathroom and one for if i need to go out in the garden to the washing line. Am I building a picture for you here?) £8.50

2 Thermal leggings and 2 thermal tops£ 8 to wear under my walking kit( I walk down by the Thames during my lunch break instead of going to the Gym. We have a lovely shower facilities at work. I havent been going during this cold spell and I've put on weight I hope you are following the method in my madness here)

I also bought a pair of those B+rkenst+ck type summer shoes in a nice nude shade as you cant get those in the Summer when you need them £4

So my total spend was £47:eek: But I will extract out my spending and update signature for another £22.50.

I must really keep a tight hold on myself if I go in there again
Its only February and look how much I've spent.

No wonder I ran my credit cards up so high. I used to spend totally unconciously

I know exactly how you feel about primarni, that was my problem too. Still would be if I didnt have you guys i would buy a couple of tops or some jeans and suddenly its £35...

Hurray another no spend weekend! Think I might make it for a whole no spend month (well on clothes anyway)

I was in JL yesterday looking for new buttons for my bargain coat with tacky buttons but the only ones I liked were £3 each. Since I would need 6 for the coat and the coat only cost £10 in the first place I decided to do without. I can live with the buttons I am sure!

However as I innocently browsed through the womenswear department (will I never learn?) literally everything in Oasis looked lovely and just my style. Will have to stay out of there for the forseeable future!

Just popping in to say I've still not spent anything on clothes.
It's been made much easier because I've been ill all half term so have had to cancel several outings with friends. Why do teachers always get ill during half term!?!:(

My friend sold a few things for me on T'ebay and there was a lovely cream skirt on there that I watched until it sold but that is about as tempted as I've been so far. :A

50 days down - 316 days to go!

I wonder if you could get a CS coat with nice buttons and swap them? Then you could sell the CS coat on the bay and make a profit! Oh I'm good tonight :rotfl:

I stupidly went into Monsoon today and fell for a jumper-type-dress-thingy that would look great with leggings and boots but it was £60 so I put it back. Not so long ago I would have just bought it but today I thought gosh that's 3 months allowance. This thread is having a good influence on me
