Got breast reconstruction & tummy tuck op coming up so needed to buy decent jamas, dressing gown, slippers etc. for hospital stay. Also BIG GIANT bras & support knickers - lovely (and three nice tops in the sale to cheer me up when I get out)

Total spent for March = £199.39

Running total for #38 = £263.39 / £500

Loving those jumping jacks.

Total spends this month, bra £12, top £10, reduced slipper boots £8 all Next. Sent back the other stuff, phew!

My new walking shoes were great for the first week, but I can't wear them any more as one of them is a bit too tight and rubs me painfully, so I will ebay them and deduct the sale from my balance. I'm making do with my old shoes.
My ebay jeans were a great fit, and didn't stink to high heaven of cigarette smoke by the 3rd wash :rotfl:

So, new total:
#12 £83.50/£300

I also got a cool zip up Victory hoodie for Mother's Day but that doesn't count as it was a present

Total spends for March £22

Running total for 2013 £89.28/200

*hayley*

Declaring a no spend March - I am so mega mega proud of myself. I can't believe I did it

So #42 No spend March, yearly total so far is still £31.98

Well done hayley! You are rightly proud of yourself with that wonderful result!

It has inspired me to have a go at a No Spend April - I have everything I need and I keep reminding myself I do not need any more clothes - here's hoping I stay strong and can do it.I'm going to take it week by week and see if I can get there

I had to go buy some bras! My black bra was getting threadbare and my nude one was erm, not so nude any more.

Also as I've gone up a dress size, my bust has increased too and that whole four boobs look is not a good one So I got a two pack, one black and one nude in M&S for £12.50.

Which brings my total for March to £74.49 and my total overall up to £210.08 / £500. So much for "no spend" March. I'm not going to make any such declaration for April as I'm still cracking on with the Couch 2 5k plan and am planning on celebrating today's 20min run with a new pair of trainers (I had gait analysis done at the weekend).

I was just thinking, I may have to revise the way I count regarding vouchers, basically if the voucher was earned (doing MSE things) then I have to count it in my clothing budget (because I'll have counted it already in my Earn £2013 challenge and I don't want to double count) but if the voucher was a gift then perhaps I shouldn't count it (because if they just bought me something I wouldn't count it). In my budget / spending diary I count everything though (all vouchers etc) so it could get confusing if I do it differently for this challenge. I think I'll crack on counting all vouchers for now but it could get reviewed.... (at the moment I've spent £10.81 from earned vouchers and £20 from gift vouchers but I'm about to spend a £30 gift voucher to get the trainers). Anyway, out loud musings - I know everyone does it differently!

Evening All

sorry for being away for so long. Had a mammoth two weeks before BH weekend and had a problem with internet for a week also so couldn't get on. Am majorly behind with keeping on top of everything but I have two weeks off now so hopefully I will be able to get back to normal.

I've got a query, I haven't spent anything on my budget yet but DOH bought me some new tops on Saturday for £50.00. Feel like I should count it as money has been spent on clothes for me, so think I would maybe be a fraud not declaring it. What do you think? x

Happy April everyone :j

I am happy to declare a No Spend March, this run will end shortly as I am planning to go into town tomorrow to replace my bras (much needed!) and there is always something else to tempt me in the shops

For the moment .... # 22 reporting £0/£200 spent!
