    Good luck Mothernerd with the surgery. My mum is having surgery the same week.
    Got out a top that I haven't worn for ages. Think I will set myself a target to wear clothes that I haven't worn for a while next week at work.

  • Good luck mothernerd, I hope you have a speedy recovery.

    I bought a couple of jumpers and a top, spent £30, so I have amended my signature. Still not found any boots, though ....
    Enjoying the power and freedom of letting things go.

    I've done it - another month with no clothes spend. yippee - it is getting easier.
    4 months with no clothes spend ( started in March). 4/7
    Next month - going away to Shrewsbury, Shropshire where there is my favourite shop - so will set a budget for this.

    Reporting in for September with a NO SPEND month :j:j

    I did buy a casual autumn/winter coat that cost £26.25 with 25% off, however had to return in when a seam came right away a week later, so it's been refunded and I've not found a replacement. I do need one, so will continue looking for that.

    Can't believe we're 3/4 the way through the challenge :eek: and how little I've needed to buy for both DS and myself. I've got £116.93 in Nectar points too and had planned to use some of those as well, so a double reason to be pleased with myself. :D

    Well done everyone for no spend, low spend or budgeted spend :T

    Oh my, I've just realised my last post was 18th June.


    Since then all I've bought is a pair of winter boots (£10) in a sale, 2 Christmassy jumpers (£30, eek! but going to be extra festive this year) and some socks (I don't count them though towards my budget) all bought in September.


    This all brings my total to:


    £153/£250:T

    Hi :)
    I am trying to save save save and I thought joining on to some challenges would be a good & fun way to hopefully keep me on track. Do you mind me hopping in to the end of this year?
    I can't think that I actually really need anything, and as I am currently losing some weight I don't want to buy much until I have got to my target size, unless it's a necessary buy like work or pants :p:rotfl:
    For October to December I am going to set myself a budget of £70. The only things that I will not include is underwear. Now I need to read back on the first page rules, but if I was to sell some items and then used that money to purchase something that I actually needed does that count as being spend neutral?
    Christmas is the most magical time of the year :santa2:
