    I may have just spent £80 in Primark :eek: but I did get a coat for £2, a dress for £2, a cardigan for £1 and another cardigan for £5 so it's not all bad!!! I also got my mum cardigans too, and my dad/brother some tshirts for £1. i only went in for tights and a pair of trousers :o

    ah well, i needed some new clothes - now i've got some and a new coat for next winter :D my current one is a bit bobbly and also it stinks of some incense stuff we had, no idea how to get it out!!! will put it in the washing machine ...

    consequently i've made the decision to only pay off one debt this month so that i know we have plenty left in case something goes wrong, i still need tyres for the care as well and MOT is June, so need to start putting stuff away!

    I have a wedding to attend in August (I think it's August), I've worn all my dresses to other weddings at least twice now. So I've been completely courageous and bought this pattern and a gorgeous chinese brocade in turquoise with butterflies. I also bought a black chinese brocade with dragons, so I can make two dresses the black being the trial run. All for the cost £20 :D how fab is that!

    Wow, so you're going to make your own dresses? that is awesome! I wish I could make stuff. I actually want to learn to crochet when I've finished my OU studies!

    Oh wow Kerri, I love the pattern! I'd love to do a dress-making course at the local college, but still haven't gotten round to it, but you've got me looking up start dates again! I bet you'll look fab in August!

    Well done on the payments guys -it's fabulous to see how well everyone is doing, and it's only April! Still, I can't believe we're halfway through April already...

    tell me about it :eek: times going way too fast, which is a good thing but also it isn't... so much to do, not enough time.
  • Kerri that material looks gorgeous. I've always been so disappointed at my inability to sew/be creative.

    I have a small payment of another 1%, £38.54 which brings my total to £115.62/£3854.11
