I bagged myself a few goodies. Bought 10 items for £28.50 saved £66.50
Luckily none of them were clothes for me - so still a no clothes spend month for me.:j

I didn't get up early enough to get anything 😜 I normally get quite a bit to give as gift throughtout the year but slept in 😄 oppps! Xx

Thanks for the advice MavvyMoo I think I'm going wrong with the sizing - the things I've been selling have all been on the small side. I'm selling some larger stuff for a friend and I've noticed it seems to be getting quite a few watchers & even some early bids.

Well good news My boots arrived they are so lovely and fit like a glove Very different just how I like it.
The other news is the £3 skirt just made £48 on E*ay:eek::eek: So about £39 profit after fees knew it was a good buy and was proved right.
So £39 to come off my boots so all good.

I get you with the tights nothing worse than feeling they don't fit right.
I always wear Ronhill not the cheapest by a long way but are so comfy and last for ever.
Keep on with the running and lucky you for having a friend to motivate you (All my friends hate exercise of any description)

Good luck to all and keep those eyes firmly shut while in any kind of clothes shops/ online sales !

Well done on the e*ay sale :T

I became friends with my 'runner' as she runs the boot camp I go to, she's really patient with me when i'm flagging which I appreciate and that motivates me. Both tights are Nike ones, I'm just scared of making a mistake as although not full price, they're not cheap.

Totally off topic but the boots sale this year is rubbish! I haven't spent a single penny on gifts sets I don't need ha ha x x

i didn't bother this year, already got some bits for people I might buy for from B00ts and I am sure they must be sick of No7 sets by now. So I got up at 6am and went to boot camp instead Popped in at lunchtime and quite a lot left, but still nothing I actually needed.

Evening all. I am loving the fact that I have worked out a budget and that if I want any extras, I have to sell something first. I am a bit slow, but get there in the end. I have 10 items on eBay and 30 more to go on. I have noticed that some of my bigger stuff has more views & watchers. Fingers crossed that I can shift stuff.
The ill fittin dress went back! How many black & white dresses do I need anyway? Signature to be updated.
Keep up the good work everyone

Seems that we are right with the bigger sizes.:D I find that my stuff which is size 8/10 sells better on F*cebook on the local selling sites.I do need to have a bit of a clear out as I have seen a few posts on there asking for smaller sizes so that will be my job over the next week or so.
I still need to make £93 to pay for my boots :DSo I had better get sorting soon

Convinced myself not to buy a really nice coat I saw on eBay today! Woo!

I'm also losing weight for the first time in ages which is great.

Broke my non-spending streak. Paid £3.50 for a Desigual top from a Charity shop. Originally bought it to sell then tried it on & liked it - very different style to anything else I've got. If I change my mind about selling I'll amend my total.

Pay day for me tomorrow- I also finish work at 1 so have to resist going shopping after work.

Well done to everyone who is keeping with in budget.

Saying that it's only 14 days in ha ha �� xxx
