    So far so good here, no spends and no temptations yet.

    I'll finish the ironing tonight and then all my clothes, apart from what I wore at the weekend and today will be clean and in my wardrobes/drawers - love it when that happens so I can really see what I have.

    I really must get selling on the fb groups again this week, going to aim for 5 things a week.

    Got 3 bras today in m&s for total of £10.99 in the sale. Very happy.

    Returned a bnwt gap hoody I bought dd2 before Xmas and exchanged it for 2 summer cardigans which she needs. The hoody didn't match her summer wardrobe and it's too thick for summer so happy with my swap :)

    Total for me is £39.98/£500

  • No spend here yet :)

    Didn't realise how often I browse clothing websites before! Trying to replace that time with browsing MSE! :D

    Have an interview at the end of the month so will need to buy some trousers or pencil skirt but going to use a shirt I already own :)

    Wearing an outfit I don't normally wear today to get a bit of use out of what I own.

  • Hello can i join please?

    My budget of £250. I actually plan on upcycling clothes, dying jeans that have faded, rather than buying new ones. Using old jeans for shorts after some snips lol ;). I'm going use charity shops more. I bought a coat for £7.99 the other day from the british heart foundation, £30+ in new look is ridiculous, I have 3 waterproofs lol, I wanted a nice coat to wear out on nights out etc.

    I will need new trainers during the year. I don't really wear shoes or heels are they hurt my feet (flat footed :( and 4 ft 11, wish I could wear heels!!)

    Sorry I have rambled a lot !!
