    Debt-free and Proud!
    Oops forgot to confess to some spends - 3 x £2.50 T-shirts from Primarni, 2x £3 scarves from market stall (to add colour to the plain T-shirts) and a pair of trousers from Matalano for £16 to add to my cheap summer holiday wardrobe which now consists of 7 T-shirts, 3 trousers, a skirt, evening top and a cardigan. Packing light :)

    I finished using my M&S card yesterday, got myself some more underwear and another T shirt in a different colour but same size as I was so pleased with the first one. However, it is too tight so it's going back, how annoying. Why can't all size 12s be the same esp from same shop/same style?......

    Hubby and I booked a night in Canterbury. But when we got here we decided to spend an extra night here- problem is not enough clothes. Bought a pj set ( shorts and top) using fat face voucher and birthday money. Bought a t- shirt for tomorrow - ( half price) from my birthday money. Finally, bought a pair of walking shoes to replace my trainers ( half price £49.99 which is much cheaper than trainers that would have cost £110.00) with my birthday money - so.... Still no spend for me : 0 )

    Though I would need to buy a new bra but then found a new set of two in my wardrobe! It used to be too small for me - bought it a couple of years ago when I hoped that buying smaller clothes would encourage me to lose weight - they fit perfectly now, woohoo!! What a save of money :)
  • I've spent £14.99 on a pair of running shorts (it really is too hot for leggings anymore). This takes me up to £90.99/365
    Realised one of my bras is dying as well, think once I'm debt free I may have to celebrate by buying some holeless undies :rotfl:

    I| swapped the ill fitting t shirt for another one and as it was 20% off day, I got £3.60 back. Result.
    Spend less now, work less later.
  • Whilst dropping off bags of stuff at the charity shop, I bought two t-shirts to wear for Pilates/exercise - £4.45. Needed them, and was going to have a look in town, so have saved some money. Have updated signature.
    Enjoying the power and freedom of letting things go.

    As I'm going on holiday on Saturday, I'll declare my June total now


    £10.00 on a Rio de Janeiro T shirt. I only bought that because it was a 'World Cup theme day' at work. Hopefully I'll get a bit more wear out of it


    So total so far is £45/£300.


    I'm surprised to have survived half a year only spending this much
