Can you sign me up please? I'm setting a budget of £500 but aim to be well under it. I know if I get accepted onto my course in September I will need some business wear. My £500 will include everything though.

Do people still do 'Freedom Friday'? Where you wear a piece of clothing you haven't worn for ages to 'free' it from your wardrobe and you look like you're wearing something new!

It really helped me realise how many clothes I had but never wore when I completed the challenge in 2012.

Yesterday I wore a blue jumper I bought last year but had never worn outside the house, and today I wore a red vest top that hadn't seen the light of day ever!

Anyone else up for 'freeing' some clothes from their wardrobe prisons?

Hi, can I join in please?

My budget is £120 for the year plus anything I might buy from birthday or Xmas money or by raising money mystery shopping or eBaying. I bought 2 new dresses before Xmas which haven't had much wear and 2 from prev years all of which would look better if I were 1/2 a stone lighter so there is something to aim for. I also have clothes which haven't seen the light of day for some time so will work on that rather than buying new.

I could do with more leggings/tops for work or may have enough tops to wear with trousers if i buy them instead. i only have one good pair. I don't need undies or sleep wear. I have boots, coats and bags, though could do with a small rucksack for days out as mine is a bit bulky. I could do with some thermals for camping and some summer shoes. Maybe a couple of t shirts and a pair of jeans if the budget allows.. Will have to look out for a bargain!

I try an do Freedom Friday most Fridays by wearing a dress, or boots I've had for 4 years and never worn thankfully now worn!
