So, just a quick note to say

:j:j:j:jWell done everyone!:j:j:j:j

Tip 1 I had this idea last year as I was craving for clothes to create a facebook page and posted everything I liked there. Now it is like a hobby, Every time I crave for something i post there I think it is doable if you want to somehow overcome the urge.

I have some news. I managed to sell some of my items on ebay

1. Dark wine suede satchel PS1 style
2. Zebra print dress by Motel
3. River Island jumper
4. Forever 21 top
5. Victoria's secret tote bag
6. Vintage faux pearl bracelet
7. Vintage faux pearl necklace

:j:j:j:j Really happy!

Now selling my Nintendo DS life and already have a bid of £9.99!

BUT we'll do it! We must overcome these cravings

LOVE this idea! I think I am going to steal it! Then I can still look at the pretty clothes and dream about the day when I may be able to afford to shop a bit more again (although not to the extremes that I have done in the past)

Congrats on your ebay sales!

Desire No.3 I really want leather satchel in tan brown colour. .

How should I stop myself wanting warm brown leather satchel?

think think think

You'd look like you were back at school:D does that help?;) satchels just remind me of being a schoolkid:eek:

sent back jeans that were too big. Less temptation for me now as the Evans dept in BHS in town has just disappeared! It was rather pants and didn't have as much choice as the shop did before it closed and moved into BHS but I live in a town with LOTS of big ladies myself included so you'd think it'd do well, I guess it was just too expensive though!

My sister is a COMPLETE shopaholic. She has no children and shopping is her life. I went to visit her yesterday (after work was closed due to snow) and she'd had a massive clearout and made me try everything on before it went to the CS. I came home with 17 pairs of jeans, 3 pairs of trousers, 2 skirts and a shirt! Am so chuffed. I had a good look through my wardrobes tonight and reminded myself of what was in there, there was loads that I had forgotten I even had! This should really help my challenge.

I checked out my shoes and saw that quite a few pairs need heeling, which always seems really expensive. Was thinking about doing it myself, has anyone done this? Had any success? or is it just better to go to the cobblers and take the cost on the chin?

Wow blogger £7k to £0, best of luck! I'm sure you have a very enviable wardrobe though

Citizenkitten, not sure about deluded, I'd say optimistic it's a lot more positive

Either way - get the ones reheeled you know you will wear a lot and they fit properly and are comfortable

Hi can I join please?

I'm making 2013 my year of saving as I want to save a deposit for a house and have worked out it will take me at least 5 years :eek:

I think I normally spend 2/3k on clothes but will set myself a target of £500 to include everything, shoes, underwear etc. I will also use any gifted vouchers but will try to put any gifted money in the bank :A

CK will pop you on the front page with a number when she checks in, and I shall add you to the monthly updates.

That is a great thing to be aiming for, best of luck!!
