    I am up for a Freedom Friday this week, I switched over my wardrobe at the weekend so all my summer stuff is at the front now and it's all stuff I haven't seen for 6 months!


    This is a quandry... I too, feel in need of a Freedom Friday as I feel TOTALLY SICK of my outfits... and I too have rediscovered some summer things, however, it is TOO DAMN COLD to wear them right now. What to do??

    No spends to report but i have been given a bag full of hand me downs from a friend and her daughter so have a nice pretty jumper, light summery cardi and vest to my wardrobe :) The cardi is one of those thin T shirt ones in a waterfall design in a peachy colour - not something I would normally go out and buy but am willing to give it a try:T

    On another note I have another big sort out in my wardrobes and have filled a huge clear sack(its as big as me) to send to that company who buy clothes - I said I wasn't going to use them again as I got so little but every little helps and it means I get a big volume of clothes out of my way without dithering around - and a little bit of breathing space back in my wardrobe!

    I was quite strict with myself and I guess if I cant remember what I put in it I probably would never have worn it again - and its true I cant remember so am not too worried - yet:o

    I've only bought sandals this month which brings my total for the year up to £39.98 :) I'm still quite proud of myself. £39.98 would probably have been my fortnightly spend last year!

    Debt-free and Proud!
    Hello all,

    Nothing more to confess to for May, £48.99 seems a lot for a month but I did holiday shop for clothes. Just ordered £50 Debs vouchers from Consumer Pulse in prep for big holiday in September but won't be counting these as money spent when I eventually spend them, hope you don't all think that's cheating :o

    As things stand I'm at £167.38/£300

    #22 declaring a No Spend May :j:j:j

    I am going away on holiday in June but I have a cunning plan to use my Nectar points at Mr S to buy some new bits and bobs instead of parting with my own cash.

    Well, I wouldn't want to waste them on something silly like groceries :D
