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

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 footedand 4 ft 11, wish I could wear heels!!)
