Bought 4 t-shirts from White Stuff - they had a 48hr sale. £64.00
Have gone way over this month!!!!
Went a looked at new trainers - didn't buy any as the price of them were silly money. Going to wait for the sales.
Does anyone know when the summer sales start? or where I can find a voucher/ go for discounted Nike / good supported trainers?2025 Fashion on a ration 0/66 coupons

Haven't spent anything in May, very pleased0

I did buy a showerproof coat during May for £47.00 (was £65, but was able to use some vouchers), but as I used money I'd earned from eBay sales, I don't include this in my figures
So no 'real' cash spent in May and therefore my total still stands at £35 / £300
Early retired - 18th December 2014

Reporting in for May - NO CLOTHES SPENDS! Yay! :j
Can't believe we're in June already, time is flying by and we're managing fine with the summer clothes we already have. DS still fits his last year's shorts (a miracle) and t-shirts that were a bit big last year now fit nicely. He also had a couple for Christmas with his fave band on.
Aiming for no spending on clothes this month too. My ballet style shoes are in year 4 and are pretty worn out, but I think I can get through this year with them - they're just for casual.Back on the DFW Wagon:
CC - £3,300 on 0% til 04/2020
CC - £4,500 on 0% til 02/2019
Loan - £12,063.84 as at 4/1/180 -
Nil spend for the month and Nil spend for the year :T

No spend so far this month.
Have a fat face voucher to use this month - received after shopping in there in April. Apart from that I going to try and not spend any money on clothes this month( not including shoes/trainers).
I've got trouble with my gallbladder and have been put on a fat free diet by the doctor. So I am hoping that I will loose some weight - so I'm going to try and save for when my clothes no longer fit!!!! (In my dreams!!!).
Hope you are all having a good month.2025 Fashion on a ration 0/66 coupons
