Just a headsup - my local Primark has several tables of plain T shirts and vests for ladies, reduced to £1. Primark is the only place which does T shirts which fit me so I did buy a pile of them but I wear them to death and at £1 each, you can't grumble.0

Hi everyone! Since I've been losing a bit of weight and I was going on holiday, I have a couple of spends to declare:
2x H+M dresses for £3.42 (got these online in the sale, one is black, one is navy with orange print, cotton jersey material and will be good for the summer)
2 x H+M 3/4 sleeve tops for £14 (got these in the sale in store, one grey, one coral)
Pack of 5 M&S knickers for £7 (I really needed some new ones!)
2 M&S t-shirt bras for £16 (where I'm losing weight I just needed something cheap to fit me before I get to my goal weight)
1 dress in New Look with ladybirds on it for £8
1 pair of jeans from New Look for £9.99
Running top, trousers and sports bra from TK Maxx for £36
Sports jacket for holiday £25
Think that's it so far! Got 2 lovely dresses and some more underwear for my birthday as well.
My total spend for the year is now £126.91! Better reign it back in I think!Emergency Fund - £8572.39 / £10,000 :: Mortgage OP 2025 - £LISA 24/25 - £3200 / £4000 :: NSD 2025 - 2 / 150 :: Books Read: 1 / 52 :: Decluttering - 4 / 1000Engaged 9th December 2010 :: Married 29th October 2015 :: Bought a House 13th January 20170 -

Congrats LadyMorticia! Oooh - I want to win some clothes!!!
Still no spends March - although I have to admit it's not for lack of trying! I just haven't been inspired to buy anything when I've been shopping. Anything that I have like has been far too expensive so I haven't even tried them on. Booooooo! But I guess it's a good thing really...Virtual Sealed Pot Challenge #148 - £59.93
