    Well, I did spend in November, a £15 reduced from £45 party jumper, trousers from X Cat shop and a fleecy jumper for lounging in ditto. A £4 Christmas jumper from SDN is on its way so Dec won't be no - spend but I will still be well within my £150 budget for the year. Good luck to all others.

  • I bought some PJs and a jumper, which were £16, so I've updated my signature. I have an interview on Monday, and have bought a jacket to wear, but I am not sure if I'm keeping it or not, so I'm not counting it yet. If I get the job, I need to buy some 'office clothes' - will definitely sign up for next year's challenge so it doesn't get out of hand :D
    Enjoying the power and freedom of letting things go.

    I've decided that the shops will be too crowded in the run up to xmas so staying away. I'm happy with my achievement in cutting down so drastically with all your help. Thank you everyone!
    I'm the only one who is stopping me from achieving my goals! :wall:

    I cracked. White s@@ff had 20% off day. Bought two jumpers, a skirt, a cardigan and a blouse. Spent £198. Got £50 off ( so basically a jumper for free). Will update my signature later.

    I have to own up to having spent £75 on wellies last week. They now have to last my lifetime but aren't actually that comfortable yet. Will join the challenge next year with a more realistic budget.
    Spend less now, work less later.
  • Well, I got the job :D

    I took the jacket back, but spent money on a bag large enough to haul all my stuff up to London every day, so I spent £29. Even though it's 'accessories' rather than clothes, I will include it in my total, so I've updated my signature.

    I will be shopping for clothes for work in the New Year, but hope to have a proper (grown up!) capsule of clothes for work, so I don't go too bonkers, so I'm going to sign up for the challenge next year.
