    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!!)

    Totally know what you mean! I'm only 5 foot and haven't been able to wear heels for years now. Gave up with putting up with the pain. I can wear wedges though.

    It is a shame as you never look at glamorous on a night out though. Ce la vie! Worse troubles for many peeps! x

    No you don't, saying that I rarely go out :). I don't drink much, so it's funny watching the girls who are falling over themselves :) lmao!

    Just popping in to confess I won a pair of shorts on fleabay today. Just like a pair I got a few years ago in the sales...that are still tagged and a little on the snug side. Bid more than I'd planned but £8.25 in total incl postage (nearly as much as my sale ones :eek:) but glad I got them, and can now sell on the tagged ones.

    I was feeling dead smug because I'd ignored all the sales and I'd not spent anything yet but I was looking through my budget and realised I'd bought a necklace on New Year's day! It was at an antiques fair (it's a long black glass beaded necklace sort of 1920s style and will replace the tacky plastic ones I sometimes wear) I'd wrongly categorised it but it should definitely be part of this budget. So that's £3 / £400.

    I'm another challenger who found the perfect pair of black boots for paid stuff/casual in the new look sale yesterday. They actually fit around my fat legs. So thats £18 spent bring my total so far to £25/£120. So technically I'm spent up now to mid March and its only mid January. Oh dear!
    Spend less now, work less later.
  • Please could I pledge £300?
    So far this year I've only spend £25 on a Vivienne Westwood dress but I can get silly when it comes to buying clothes for weddings / holidays etc!
    Pay off Debts by Christmas 2015 = DEBT FREE! :)
  • Well, I went to town yesterday, and only bought the birthday present I went for :D

    However, a huge online order has just arrived :o, lots of stuff ordered in two sizes, and looking through it (not tried anything on) I think I may keep one or two things (need to replace some things that are too big). Will report back ....
    Enjoying the power and freedom of letting things go.

    Whoops, ordered a dress and on online 'filler' for free postage, it arrived today and I rather like it...even worse, I said 'ohh it would be nice as a maxi'...guess what I found on the website :o

    Boots I also had bought prev now also gone down again...:mad: and I'm not even sure they are that comfy now, just a tad too short :mad:

    Must get a grip, sort out what needs to go back and stop spending now :A
