You need to learn how to take trousers up - save £5.

I thought the same thing for myself as I'm always needing things taken up....

Fair point but I'd rather pay someone £5 to do it properly than bodge it and end up losing the trousers...it has happened in the past

But I agree with this statement more.:D

Ah, but the return postage to and from London from my part of the world would be about £8!!:eek:

Well since this challenge started this is the first time I have spent anything on clothes and this was only £3.99 on ski glove liners which I needed. Luckily I managed not to buy anything else though I was tempted!

Morning all, hope you are well, spends to confess to, but really needed to no girl can cope with 1 pair of jeans that fit, so 2 pair of jeans from fleabay and a gorgeous sun top (i know the sun bit lol), all for the princely sum of £19.90 including postage not too bad as one pair of the jeans were new with tags (£45 new):D

off to update my sig, have a good week peoples think from memory thats about £284 left to spend....

I use that iron on wonderweb hemming stuff to take up Hubby's trousers, I've never managed to master a sewing machine

how do all

sorry I haven't been on board for a few days, been busy with various bits n bobs.

got a spend to declare from a couple of weeks ago, a body warmer that called out to me. Thats £35! Yep I know its a lot but I wear body warmers a lot and my others are really dog eared and only fit for wearing in the house/garden. Will update sig. later.

I have been really good, no other spends on clothes to report, not even from charity shops or my fav shop Long Tall Sall* basically, I cant justify £15 on a t anymore. since starting this challenge, it has really made me think more about how much these robb*rs charge for stuff in shops.

right well times cracking on and I hope everyones doing well with the challenge, tera for now.

Hello all, I know I am a bit late in the year to ask to join. I haven't spent anything on clothes this year at all as DH has been out of work over winter. He is back this week so I thought this would be ideal to start now. I am going to budget £100 for myself and £100 for DH (anything that he doesn't spend sure I will take - since I have my eye on £60 Iron Fist shoes. ). I know I will be needing more white items like underwear etc so I know I will definitely be spending. I don't have any weddings that I know I am going too. I will probably have three wedding invites this year but we are definitely not going to them.

My wardrobe is full. Last year I had been given some hand me downs from my sil and sister and that is on top of my own spend and the 3 massive bags that went to clothes for cash.

I have noticed that some of you have budget £100....this is for yourself or yourself and DH too?
