  • Spent £10 on a pencil skirt in asda for my interview :) Looks great!

    So that brings my total up to £10/£300

    As a side note I also bought some black trousers for £6 but will have to return them next week as they are too tight (fitting rooms were closed as I went late at night) so not counting that one!

    Going shopping next Thursday as OH and I are going to a different city, but hoping I can restrain myself to window shopping!

    Hello all. Nice to see a few more people joining in.

    I'm thinking of sticking the top I bought from fleabay back on. Not sure it actually suits me so will either do that this weekend or the weekend after. Will have a look through some other clothes to stick on as there's quite a few I'm highly unlikely to wear again.

    Haven't bought anything else so far this month which I'm pleased with.

    I'm coming on to confess I bought a coat on amazon (trespass one reduced from £50) for £13 with free delivery. So adding it to my total.

    I have to confess to having spent my budget up to the end of March now - £30/£120, a quarter of the year's budget gone. I bought an outfit to exercise in yesterday. Only had to spend £5 as I had a £25 voucher I won in November. I also spent £39 on pj bottoms for DS who is in hospital, but that doesn't count as it's not for me.
    Spend less now, work less later.
  • Hiya,

    Can I join this challenge please? I think I can stick to a budget of £150 for all my clothes; most things I buy are from charity shops/ebay/sales already, so I'm sure I can do this.

    Thanks,

    Had a Freedom Friday of my oldest pair of Doc Martens...21 years old, cherry red and still going strong! I think I'll wear them again tomorrow before I put them back in the wardrobe!

    Still no spends for me. :)

  • Got some vouchers through the post for a market research session so used them to splash out on a pair of oasis skinny jeans... cost to me £25. The grey skinnies with the dodgy zip and the blue pair that no longer fit will be disposed of :)
