I always find it facinating what people wear then they are out.
Even in our wee group there was one dress, two people in very smart trousers & then me in my 'good' dark grey jeans & a very expensive long sleeved t-shirt I got for Chrimbo. My maw forgot to take the label off. £60 for a t-shirt!!
I cant squeeze into my one pair of good breeks sadly.

The outfit sounds lovely. The price of some clothing items is quite scary. 😳 Bet it felt and looked good though. Glad you’ve got another night out planned 👍January spends - £587.585

Have had a bit of a tidying up & decluttering day.
WAited in for hours yesterday both yesterday & today for someone to pick up on TV unit from Facebook, through a local page for people who are in need. A now show. So frusrating.
I have done stuff through the day off & on.
Pleased with what I have got done though.
I don't want to leave it all til the last moment & be knackered!!
Two weeks today the big event will be done & dusted.

Totally agree on cleaning up gradually before a big event - I did that wrong on one occasion, way back when, it was ruined to the extent that I had to cancel. Glad to hear you're working through your timeline to suit yourself.2023: the year I get to buy a car6

Well done on the tidying and decluttering. How annoying about the no show though."Good financial planning is about not spending money on things that add no value to your life in order to have more money for the things that do". Eoin McGee5
