The Completely Crazy 2013 Clothes Challenge

medsdemon

No 041 Declaring a No Spend May:j:T The first of many I hope. My undergarments are starting to look a little shabby and my slippers are almost worn through on the sole but I'll try and make do for the month of June. May try to make some slippers with some fabrics I have in...

No 43 declaring a no spend month. Still £70/250.

There are a few summer bits I need/want but I'm being good and holding off for the sales

#55 £85.46/£120

It's a NO SPEND MAY FROM NUMBER 29! I've just found out that my favourite chain of clothes shops has closed. Fortunately I bought enough stock from them to justify not buying much for at least five years and possibly more.
I'm kinda glad I didn't know they were closing as it would have probably derailed the challenge. What you've never seen you never miss, in my case - I only went in there once this year.

Hi
Wondered if I could join in with this challenge as my clothes buying obsession is one of the reasons I am in soo much debt.
Made myself a resolution to not buy any clothes for myself this year AT ALL, and so far have stuck to it.

Yes of course - the more the merrier! No spends at all is pretty darn good, you should feel very proud of yourself!

CK will give you a number and add you to the front page when she's next in!

Hello,

Haven't been on here in ages (although I do get daily email updates) because I was getting into the danger zone with my budget and thinking about not spending money on clothes just makes me want to spend money on clothes.

Anyway, I bought a pair of trainers in April (Asics Nimbus) = £65.67 which brought me up to £276.05 but I had a no spend May :j and haven't bought anything so far in June, so I'm just about back on target for my £500 budget Now maybe it's safe to come back on here and talk to you lovely ladies again.

I like the idea of setting challenges

How about an unsubscribe challenge? I will unsubscribe from all mailing lists from clothing shops so I'm not tempted by the many, many sales and discount emails that seem to be constantly landing in my inbox. Who's with me?
