    Going going gone bag (thanks bluecow1975 for the naming :p) is now up in the loft. Took out the jeans I need a zip replacing on to get that done, and a top that I need to try on, but that's it, rest in her loft before I could start going through it again.

    Been sorting out some sales purchases that have been rather dumped in the spare room since I bought them :o was dithering over a lovely pair of teal colour suedette heels from primarni. For £12 they're actually very nice, feel ok on but not sure about waking much in them. BUT I think they are a keeper, have a hunch if I return them I'll kick myself for doing so.

    I spent nothing on clothing this month

    but on saturday i had to get one of the smalls some underwear (her mum didn't pack any) so i still don't class that but sports direct's deal of polo shirts for £1.29 was too good to resist. so spent £12.90 (plus have shirts for the whole year now)

    I think I am going to be a bad influence here.........but £12 for a pair of heels in a colour good for spring and summer is a keeper in my book. Lol re: walking in shoes - I have a couple of pairs designated as sit down in a pub / restaurant shoes where I only need to walk a few hundred metres!!! :rotfl:I am getting better though as post kids most of my footwear is getting more "practical".

    No spends in January for me either :A

    Was very tempted by a new dress from Pepperberry (their dresses fit me perfectly) but they don't have a shop in Yorkshire and I couldn't be bothered with mail order so I didn't buy one.

    I was hoping to sell some clothes but I got into selling some of my fabric stash instead. However I'm hoping to get cracking on selling clothes this month.

    Well done everyone.
